I think not.
Well, it's lost me my job anyway.........
Probably the shortest career change in history. Do I win £40?
'Catchprase' = say what you see......so I did. Oops. The ink on my P45 was barely dry! So, I've jumped off the wagon tonight, but I promise not to post :D
(They rang me today - today is Sunday............huh 
) Arseholes. 
Well being honest doesn't mean you HAVE to devulge ALL the information you are thinking....
laughing at yer bosses little peter when he made a move on you really wasn't nessicary was it?

Piss off.
Well today and the next few days at work will be interesting to say the least. I stirred a few feathers last week. oops.
Never show initiative and never let people know that you have. ;)
Instead just accept a broken system and bosses who can't give you what you need to do your job.

I just......well i kinda.....erm......well.....I've never liked a bully and people who put someone down (not me I hasten to add) in front of an office full of people - she was only a kid......so I kinda said so....in a very sort of non subtle way.
I didn't know she was a bloody partner did I????????
There endeth the story.
They can't sack you for preventing bullying in the workplace Kath. You now have grounds (and witnesses) to take them to the cleaners in an unfair dismissal/bullying at work claim.
If you need legal help, let me know x
She sounds like a right little cow anyway. I'm sure the other people in the office had a good chuckle about it when she wasn't around. I can't imagine she'd be popular anyway with an attitude like that.
Good for you Kath, I know it's bad to lose your job but you stood up and said something so big pat on the back to you!

So is the legal career over and done with then, Kath?

She was/is a cow. And yes, they all stopped dead; it was a bit loud. Not my usual self at all. Hey, they only had Nescafe granules in the staff room anyway.......I'm far more superior than that..........

Certainly not!
I don't give up that easily......not till I get what I want!
Actually Kath, that wasn't taking the piss... much.
As a law firm, they should know that grounds for dismissal do not include defending a junior employee against bullying...
They really would lose the case. If you put it like that to them...

I know you're right Chris.......but no. I will however seek to get my best coffee mug back.....with postage paid. And my pen.
That pen cost me £3.95 from WH Smiths and I want it returned. I wish I had stabbed the cow with it now.

Probably. But that's not the only reason they used!
I can see it now....
Kath in her best Noddy Holder voice ...."yow leav her alone yow stuck up arse faced twat".
(I appreciate that the above will be seeing me move in with a Mr S Rushdie)
you know kath, after the harrassment i went through at work in 2003, i really should have slashed some tires.tires are expensive across the pond. would have been at least 100 for a whole set or more. not exactly nice, but you know when someone keeps doing it and doesnt stop and nothings being done about it you knowafter you complain....kinda resorts to that sort of childish behavior to get the point across.

Why are you still using my fucking name in your signature?!
Talk about a shit-stirrer!

It was, in context.
on it's own it's just odd.

People say lots of things here, you don't go and quote them and repeat the quote ad infinitum.
It looks very odd. And I don't see why you now feel the need to repeat it. The time has shirley since passed.
why are you getting offended over something humorous. haven't you got anything better to do than worry about a signature...

Are you missing the point entirely?!
You've got my name and Cambo's name in your signature. You don't know either of us so why you've repeated a comment one made about the other is beyond me. Especially when it's taken out of context.
Keep it there if you wish, but I personally don't see your reasoning behind it.
Kids today, eh?!

Ooh, she's a bird?! I take it all back then.
I thought it was a young whippersnapper 'having a dig'!
Hmm I don't know about honesty here. Honesty is good when it comes to following the rules and doing your own job. One simply has to do what the boss says and be more patient. When I have a higher position, I expect subordination and loyalty from the lower staff and from myself towards my supervisors.
If you're not comfortable with it, quit. That enviroment was not good for Kath, anyway. Good way to go.
MONTY wrote: Kath,are you in a union? If not why don't you try UNISON?
As a union rep at work, I'd say definitely explore your options, even if you're not a member you can probbably get some advice... I've seen loads of shite treatment of staff by management magically disappear when unions get involved... Sounds like you're better off out of there anyways, but it's worth trying to make sure the same thing doesn't happen to somebody who really wants or needs the job in future...

Was watching "Conspiracy" the other day. It's about the conference where 15 Nazi fuckers worked out the mechanics of the holocaust. At one point the cheif cunt asks "how many of us are lawyers". All but 2 of them, all but 2.
Kath wrote: I think not.
Not in this world, sadly.
Keep on being honest in the private sphere, but do in Roma as the Romans do at work - even if it hurts.

Thieves' best friends. At least, in my under-developped country...
MONTY wrote: Kath,are you in a union? If not why don't you try UNISON?
Unison are bloody awful. That's the union for the company I work for. In my organisation we have people that have worked there for 30 years being made redundant (who had alleged substantive posts). They are being told that due to age discrimination legislation people on fixed term contracts (in the same job as them) have more rights (last in first out is out of the window). This is local government. Interesting that various managers have moved friends of theirs into those safe posts.
Good on you Kath for doing the right thing!
More people should
To quote The Shamen's narrator of the final track on the 1992 Boss Drum album:
"If the truth can be told so as to be understood, it will be believed."
Honesty is the best policy. If you are unlucky enough to be working for a boss from hell, simply ask for a transfer and work 100% for someone who does value you.
