    the thing is an advisor maybe perfectly pleasant to the majority of their clients but nasty to the rest. if they dont like your face or you dont play along they can sometimes develop a bad attitude.
    They must all like my face then as I have seen 5 different people since I was transfered to it and none have bullied me in fact I have told them what I am doing and not doing catching them out on a lot of things like the list of companies I did for them that they sat on for 10 weeks and then calling their bluff by telling them I had already contacted all the companies on the list and would they now like another list to which the reaply was 'no we do not have the time'

    i am just saying dont assume that just because they have been alright with you that they are alright with everyone. i have known of advisors that have been great with me and nasty with other people and vice versa.

    yeah, to me they often seem like they are good cop, bad cop all rolled into one. my current advisor is sometimes great with me and then other times is out of order. mine has recently started a thing were they phone us up once a fortnight. i realised that it will clash with me being away for a long weekend, i told her this. i said cant you phone me earlier in the week. she refused to be flexible on this and was adamant it had to be on that day. she then said it will be ok she can just call my mobile. this is despite the fact she doesnt have my mobile number and that the place i am going to doesnt have a signal anyway. she must know this because she said she worked there when she was younger. i am dreading what her reaction maybe when i have to spell it out to her that she wont be able to phone me on the scheduled day.
