What about the geezers who moan like buggery about how bad the company they work for is, then slip in the conversation they’ve been there 20yrs
Double that time for one in my previous job.
Forty bloody years and I don’t think he’s ever had a good day at work. Then again he’s the type who would moan about not having anything to moan about.
We used to have Xmas do’s, free bar before the meal and tickets for drinks afterwards; first thing matey used to do was count the tickets and moan that there were a few less than last year. Yet at the end of the night, he’d always got a few tickets left.
Few years ago, this bloke and one of the sales managers who’d been there about the same length of time got long service awards. Top brass in attendance, buffet and bar laid on for all the staff at a local hotel; when it came to the awards, there were the usual cries of “Speech!” after the presentation. The sales manager was gracious and charming as you’d expect, thanked not only the top brass but also the whole room for their support over the years and sat down to a round of applause. Matey had to be prodded by his highly embarrassed missus to say a simple thank you; it was embarrassing. If you really hate a job that much, why do it for so long?
