    Good luck fella... As Henry said right at the start take every development chance going. Especially as its a one year contract. Brown nose the bosses. You may need their help eventually

    So you suck off your boss in order to improve your career?
    You must have no self esteem.
    Would you approve of your child doing this?
    Are you assuming his boss is male ?

    Sexist.

    You seem like a decent person. Just try and follow life's mantra that we should all fall back on

    Don't be a ****

    Follow that and you will be fine. On your first day of work and your last

    Best advice I ever had and mostly took was rise above office gossip, ignore it and never pass it on

    We all work with someone who likes to rock the boat. Someone who has a lot of ideas, can be outspoken at times and has strong views on how we should do things. They can seem a bit rebellious at times.
    The usual way to deal with Boat Rockers is to try and make them conform to “the way things are done around here” and “get them in the tent” until they come round to our way of thinking. If that fails we label them “difficult,” start to switch off when they speak and they end up marginalised, and/or leave.

    For those of you waiting for an update. I have been unable to start yet as "there has been a delay with the paperwork". This should be sorted soon and I'm hoping to start later this week! Thanks for all the advice! :)

    My child does do this. How the hell else do I afford my expensive crystal meth habit?

I'm in the same team as the guy who interviewed me so that's a bit odd!! Still a few issues... which I won't go into as you never know who reads this forum.. All I'll say is it doesn't surprise me afer the paperwork debacle!

    Good luck Canters, never be surprised just how inefficient even the most successful organisations can be.
