    No you arent a fool, your mate just wasnt good enough to progress, the other guy did a better interview, not your fault imo

    no it certainly was not my fault :mad:

    Full stops. Use them. Oh and just hope the pissed off guy doesn't tell your boss that you were trying to leave to get a better job and take 2 others with you!

    Your colleague is an insecure clown....honestly put him in his place. You did what you thought was right and nobody can argue with you about that. You can criticise yourself if you want but at the time it felt like the right thing to do and you can't argue with that.

    sorry, I didn't read it correctly. But use the ol' full stops though. Screw that other guy. You were only trying to help them out. A sharp "fùck yourself so boy" should cop him on a bit.

    ....and while you're at it, put a space after every full stop and comma!

    Your post reads like Spuds job interview in the film Trainspotting. No wonder you didn't get the job! ;)
