    My boss has let go (same company, different departments) 2 colleagues in the space of a few weeks and given holiday to another one.. then she complains we are short staffed.. all the pressure builds up, I get lots of calls and complaints from people because the job doesn't get done..
    I have been asking to be trained for the last 6 months in my colleagues tasks (in order to cover for them) but she keeps declining..Now, see the result.. she doesn't care..

    Poor you Froggy - I think we were seperated at birth when it comes to work!

    Aw Froggy, poor you :kisses3:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Morning

    £5.29 received from [EMAIL="am@zon"]am@zon[/EMAIL] sales but had to withdraw £150 to help cover for car expenses (service, MOT & insurance)..

    Car insurance cashback has tracked at £45.45, however sent TCB a message to see if they can match £co offer at £50..
