Youâve just described more corporate bollox, mate. I donât think my learned friend was having a go at anyone in particular. I agree with him. All of it is corporate bollox.

Be kind.
That sounds like some craic.
I donât need you. I donât need customers who are a pain in the hole, who have a high cost of service, who constantly battle with you, who think they fucking know something, when they generally havenât a fucking clue.I work with customers who need a service, a solution and want to work with a vendor who can provide it in such a way that everyone wins. Thatâs the kind of client I have. Iâd probably have one conversation with you and walk away.
You have no clients mate.
Corporate bollox yes, but a means to an end. Whatâs it all about? Isnât it fucking obvious?
Why do I put myself into a high pressure job with constant budget accountability and all the rest that goes with it? Whatâs it all about?
For fucks sake, the money of course. I could while away my time as an account manager or as some salary dependent chap, waiting for long service leave or retirement. Fuck that, Iâm doing the new business because of the money. I couldnât give a fuck about anything else.

Congratulations @Fitzy . 90 minutes extra a day is a lifechanger. Enjoy it.
Best of luck @Bandage. Theyâd be lucky to have you.
Both of those jobs sound like hell but each to their own.

Relax please, mate. I only commented that it was all corporate bollox and never questioned or attacked your motives. Youâre probably surfing the high of being offered the new position but rein it in and stop being aggressive - itâs not like you.
Iâm not having a go at you mate, merely pointing out the motivation behind what I do and why I can, or at least appear to, buy in to the corporate bollox. It is all bollocks of course, but you can use it to benefit yourself. Good luck with your presentation pal.
Thank you, pal.
Apology accepted.

I always reply to that question with âmodesty and chocolateâ.
The thing about it is, your superiors think itâs corporate bollox, you think itâs corporate bollox and your underlings think itâs corporate bollox. And yet on it goes.

This. I spend less time âworkingâ now than I did 5-6 years ago yet probably earn twice as much and get 3 times the work done.
Delegate until its uncomfortable, and then delegate some more.

Have you any weaknesses? âA severe aversion to bullshit questionsâ and then a death stare at whatever ape asked the question

Plenty rectangular ones around.
There are three Ds in management

Did any one here ever do an interview where you didnât want the job but didnât want to make a total bollox of yourself ???
