One in particular, who has regularly thrown me and my team lead under the bus in front of senior leadership about the data we produce.
Four fucking years of working a system from the ground up, doing my absolute best to anticipate and correct the yawning chasm full of fuckups by every other fluffybunny in the building, and this prick just walks into meetings to vent his spleen.
"But surely, Nick" you enquire, astounded "SURELY he came to you or your boss with his concerns first?"
Nup. Just lobbed a hand grenade into a meeting full of people who assess my performance and then walked away. Multiple times.
And, surprise surprise, when he finally sent me examples of "incorrect or missing" data, I found that the retard wasn't even looking in the right place.
I've got the receipts you dickhead. Come at me.

Still on workplace gripes........
Pronouns.
Thank FUCK I no longer work in an industry that "encourages" the use of them just to make others comfortable.
I'm tall. I have a beard and a deep voice. I'd mention that I lift weights but I might not be able to compete with some Eastern European women so I'll leave that out.......
I am ( hopefully ) obviously a "CIS" male ( yep the ones that cause all the crime aye Marama )
What possible fucken use is there for me to put "he/him" in my email signature just to make a tiny minority more comfortable ?
Identify as whatever the fuck you want, doesn't bother me ( and I mean that, go for gold, fill your boots....) just don't make me pander to your imaginary bullshit.

@MN5 we had a global town hall yesterday, I turned it off after twenty minutes of sycophantic yanks on the chat backslapping the shit out of the leaders. The final straw was when they announced the launch of "BProud" in direct response to "global activities" to broadcast that everyone is welcome.
No one was feeling unwelcome.

@Bones a couple of years back one of our KPIs was about doing something for the LGBTQI+ community. Like actually nominating it and then showing how we'd gone abut doing it.
I was already there; fully supportive of everyone's preferences as long as they got their work done.
I'll definitely call out any fuckwit behaviour around it. Do I have to make a flag as well?

do you mention that you like craft beer, or do people just assume that about you?
Did you just assume my bender ?

I really had to rack my brains about this one, it took me way longer than it should have. Then again I haven't seen that show for I don't know how long.

I hate when watching rugby, a player scores a try and all the subs swarm in for the group hug...

Any other stoppage, surely that's a penalty.

Gift one ref some testes - have him blow a penalty for too many players in field-of-play, as part of the try. Go back to last stoppage/advantage... ie: no try.
Knock it on its fucking head. -
What you're missing here guys is the theatre. It's bums on seats. It's growing the game.
There's probably a diversity slant to - ALL players MUST be able to celebrate fully together..
Yeah. it's shit.
