    I can't stand people like that. Careerists who fawn to their superiors while sh*tting on their colleagues and inferiors in their efforts to climb the ladder at work. I consider them two faced phonies.

    Are you one of these people who lick arse to get ahead? Or do you know/have any stories to tell about your experiences with them?

    In my job its called crawling. Ive seen many do it to get ahead. My opinion if somebody wants to suck cock (I work with men so the saying suck cock in my workplace is the ultimate insult )to get ahead I say let them its there dignity their selling. My pet hate is when the person who crawled still thinks his one of the lads. I believe people should be promoted on merit. But my principles only matter to me and since i'm content with myself i've no interest in promotions

    I work with one who's just shockingly bad..

    But if you're looking for promotions where I am there's almost a laid out system of it..

    I usually speak up if I see any bs at work. I have a feeling my boss thinks it's class because they always call me and ask for advice about stuff. I've told them that they're behaving irrationally a lot of times.

    I'm not a brown noser I just work hard. But I've been called a brown noser in a couple different jobs by work shy dopes annoyed by someone putting in a bit of effort to be successful.

    In my experience the brown noses get more work without the extra pay and recognition.

    I do what I'm paid to do and keep my head down if volunteers are requested to do extra.

    The ghosts of whom reside in your crawlspace. Harbouring a deep seated resentment

    If it was a woman would you tolerate licking pussy?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,457 ✭✭✭✭Kylta

    I'm a man and I love licking pussy, and I think if I was a woman I'd love licking pussy also.
    So whose pussy wants licking? And don't worry I don't want a promotion to lick pussy. I'll do that for free?

    This might shock you, but women can suck too.

    It’s amazing how everyone knows about a dozen brown nosers but very few people, if any, ever admit to being one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,531 ✭✭✭The White Wolf


    I'm in the middle where I've observed both the brown nosers underpaid, and the lazy bastards who are overpaid.

    Nowt wrong with a good attitude and trying to better yourself.

    I have nothing against brown nosers. That is their way of getting around in the world...who knows why they developed that skill set.

    But i prefer to be respected and i also like a professional distance between myself and employers.

    I am not standoffish or anything ..im lovely.

    I've been trying, but it's just not happening, me arse is in bits at this stage, they can't keep reconstructing it

    I've seen that done in a previous job and she wasn't looking for a promotion either


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,012 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Do what I have to do and leave..try to do a solid and good days work and go home... if people make mistakes, perform outstandingly, arrive late.. it’s the managers job to recognize it, the good bad and the ugly, management are paid to deal with them not me..

    Those sorts of people are in most workplaces.....unfortunately it does seem to progress careers...at least it does with us. Always seems to take precedence over experience and ability from what I've seen.

    I'd consider myself as very good at my job, anything I do is done thoroughly and accurately....and I know the job inside out. But i'm not a natural people person (the best way I can put it) . I get on with people but It takes me time to become friendly with anyone and I keep it to strictly business until I'd get to that stage, if at all.

    One of my peers was the complete opposite.....was a lazy bas**** in my opinion, let issues happen on his watch and didn't do any actual work. It was an ongoing joke that he did most Of his work on PowerPoint as he was always putting slides together on things rather than do his real job....but then he had the persona that he could talk and talk, and get on with senior management like they were besties.....and guess what....he got promoted into a job he wasn't qualified for. One guy in that team who also applied and would have had the knowledge and experience actually left the company beacuse of the whole thing

    As the saying goes.....it's not what you know it's who you know.

    No and I couldn't bring myself to do it. Work with plenty of the types. I do my job, kick as and take names and jog on. Having said that CEOs/company owners/high level management are often psychopaths and they love flattery so maybe brown nosing is the way forward.

    First they came for the socialists...

    I worked with a woman once whose nickname was ankles. Because she was so far up the bosses ass all you could see were her ankles.

    I'm not a brown noser in the sense that I don't work with people in-person. I'm self employed and contract remotely. So I never see anyone. But a few people do the same job I do. And if i get someone else's work by doing the job better, or faster or whatever, i'll pull the rug out from under them every single time. If I can undercut someone who's robbing them blind, I'll do it (won't undercut people charging fair prices though).

    'cos I know it'll happen to me, too.

    If I worked in an office I'd be 'one of the lads' but if i wanted to get ahead or get promoted I'd make it clear to all involved that I'll kick the legs from under them at a moment's notice. They'd do the very same themselves. At least if you're honest and up front about it, everyone knows where they stand.
