Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Supposed co-workers/colleagues.

Stop standing over me and saying “It’s better to do it this way”. I want to organise myself my way. I’ve been given this piece of work; stop interfering.

While we’re at it, all the guidelines you’ve given me are bullshit. There are glaring inconsistencies with what you’ve insisted I need to do to comply with the guidelines and what you and your colleague actually do. You both process things differently, so if the work’s come from you, I have to do it your way and if the work’s come from the other, I have to do it their way. I’m being pulled both ways to snapping point.

Right at the top of all official documentation is a heading which flies in the face of all the guidelines. Hypocrisy and double-standards are really driving me mad. You’ve set up such an unnecessarily complicated structure that anyone coming in is going to really struggle to understand it ... and when they struggle, they get called various names like ‘tosser’ or ‘wanker’ behind their back.

Some people are very, very bitter and twisted.

The concept that tax avoidance is somehow morally superior to tax evasion.

I assumed that "fucking by a dictionary" was deliberate, in that the person being spoken to was being violated verbally :-O
