    So my old boss rang me for a coffee, also he owed me almost 3000euro for overtime but fair play he payed up in the end. Anyway I told him he was a prick and had serious issues to address about he treats people and he sort of came around and now loves me...
    I don't know how to feel about this, I hate this man, or at least I thought I did. Should I work for him again or is he being crafty???? He's a wannabe posh git!

    Take the job so I can sack you again.

    I did one better, I sent a letter to the Ireland head of all the stores telling them that in polite, official terminology, my ex-boss is a prick. Apparently they got a good talking to after that but needless to say I never got my job back as I should have... :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,299 ✭✭✭✭The Backwards Man


    In a word Teddy, no.

    If he owed you money in the past he will owe you money again. Never go back. I turned down a five figure contract a few years ago because the fella owed me for a pair of footbalk boots since we were 12. Guy who took it on never saw a penny.

    It's dissappointing to hear that employees are still shouted at and given verbal abuse by the bosses in Ireland. It is (in my experience) a rarity in the more developed countries in the EU for that to happen.Of all the friends I have in England the smart ones all work for English/worldwide companies and the doltish ones still work for slave-driver paddies.

    I'd have more respect if you had the balls to call him a prick while you were still employed by him!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    I want to punch him so badly when I see him. I can't though because he's an actually dwarf so I'd look like a bad person but he's a right little Hitler. Clicks his fingers at me the whole time and makes me repeat his instructions always!!!

    Yep......think that's the only type that counts.

    Otherwise, it's just two people, with at least one being a prick.

    Money up-front, everything in writing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    He really got to me one day so I put a pint on his chair and then I felt terrible and didn't want him to sit of it but he eventually did but he never even felt it lol.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,488 ✭✭✭✭Ush1


    What sort of work did he have you doing?

    It's very specific so you can't get work elsewhere?

    well how many dwarfs are there that work with famous people? You've already probably given enough that if he reads AH he knows its you, so go on tell us.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    It's not too exciting believe me. I have no interest in famous people though. I won't get exciting to see anyone really unless it was a friend.

    We don't.

    If you don't believe me look over posts I've made in the TV Forum while the late late show is on and you'll see that I've talked about chatting to Tubs and that he was actually a really sound guy.

    Ah Teddy, you have a bit of an interest in famous people, don't you? I mean, who doesn't?

    I honestly don't. I don't care for all this celeb culture nonsense. I couldn't care what kerry kotona is having for breakfast to lose weight.

    Cleaning the jacks in RTE is not 'working with famous'
    No one in RTE is a celebrated.

    I understand, The Movies rang me once and nobody would believe me either. If only Keith was around then..

    Did he get any football boots though?

    Plenty of bullies in powerful positions in this country, even in sectors you wouldn't expect.

    But it seems to be accepted.
