Bell Cheeses at work

So the bell cheese in our corporate office is a corporate lawyer

- looks like a 2010s bearded ale drinker

- walks round the office wearing a modern but shit version of Brian Clough’s rugby shirt and green jumper combo

- has a nasal voice and continuously spouts out corporate buzz words and jargon ‘errrr I think that PDS needs some customer focus’

- changes his ring tone weekly and has it on 11- to some crap jazz fusion / disco / theme tune and intentionally leaves his phone on his desk when he goes to make a tea / have a piss because he thinks someone may think he’s discovered the f***ing Beatles

- hovers round the desks of less senior (but well qualified) female members of staff spouting off his nonsense understanding and over explains every f***ing point

- routinely drinks Vanilla Coke Zero

In short I’ve never hated someone I’ve never interacted with so much

It's year end performance review time which is always ripe for bell cheesery.

Like most organisations the one I work for asks that I assign two numerical scores for 'contribution' and one for 'behaviour' and the aggregate value shapes their performance rating.

One of my team has had both questionable performance and behavioural issues which they have not addressed. When presented with their rating in the lower end of the scale due to aforementioned issues had this to say:

"It's just that I have such exacting standards and when these losers and morons don't meet my expectations I am not exactly a wall flower about telling them!" :shrug:

Are the right about their colleagues though? :ROFLMAO:

No idea if this has been mentioned before, but there's a new chap in the office who hums all the time and I want to cave his head in. A real low pitched hum, several times a day.

He also looks like the main Sontaran commander from a Doctor Who episode a few years ago too.

ah, lay off the guy, it maybe a coping mechanism.......

hhhmmmm, hhhhmmmmmm, I am not an ugly fecker, hhhmmmmm, hhhmmmm, i am not an ugly fecker, hhhhmmmmm, hhhhmmmm.

I hate my work colleague so much, thick as shite always getting sizes and orders wrong, think she is lynch pin of the business, slurps his pot noddle at the desk like a wild animal, and when he dips Nature Valley breakfast bar into his cupa soup, I want to smash a plank of wood across his head.....

AAARRRGGGGHHHH

I won’t go in to how the subject of my last post managed to f*ck up so much that the M.D described last week as “the worst week he’s had since stating the company 15 years ago” even though I had to fix all her f*ck ups.

I won’t talk about how I saw her and the warehouse guy who’s weird around her walk along hand in hand whilst I was sat in the Rose & Crown a couple of weekends ago. Or how every single member of staff has walked in on them standing basically on top of each only for them to scurry away the second they hear you coming.

I won’t even go in to the fact our boss checks her emails and she’d emailed one of our stockists “at least you’re not too out of pocket ;)” after a quiet day when he’s a f*cking stockist who drop ships so the more we charge him the more he’s made that day.

I won’t go in to any of those because the anger and frustration they’ve caused me have probably already given me a stroke. But I also won’t bring them up fully because I want to spread so joy in this thread and there was something that made me cry with laughter earlier.

Earlier today I had to look through a pile of paper that she’d put to one side to be shredded to find some information she’d accidentally thrown away. About 50% of this pile of papers was work stuff and the other 50% were meal preps, minute by minute day plans (6am wake up. 6:02 turn off alarm 6:10 open blinds), gym schedules and other similar bollocks.

One of those scraps caught my eye and it was a list of reasons why last Monday (a day she f***ed up massively) was a bad day.

Along with all the mistakes she’d made was one further reason. Right at the bottom of the list…

Didn’t get to eat my eggs :(

:lolol: :lolol: :lolol:

All the pain and anguish is worth it just to read that. It’s f*cking amazing. Truly the biggest tragedy to befall humanity since Hindenburg.

The world’s going to shit, we’re constantly teetering on WW3 & Brighton’s injury list never clears but it all pails in comparison to when you can’t eat your eggs one day. F*ck me.
I’m keen for an update 👍🤣

Big update: They’re leaving at the end of the month and I am counting down the days.

However, somehow they’ve even managed to make leaving a job they’ve been at for a few months a confusing mess so I’ll write up a longer update when I get a chance.

Update: They left today, 4 shifts earlier than planned.

It’s quite a confusing story, so I’m just going to list what happened by date. However I’m not entirely sure on the dates so some might be a week out. Also very long post. Sorry.

Wednesday. 27/02: She puts a letter on the Managing Directors desk whilst he’s not there. She then goes upstairs to have her first FaceTime call with an external training lady (no idea what the official term is) that our company provides. You just talk to her about where you want to improve and she tries to help you reach those targets.



After the FaceTime call she leaves for a doctors appointment. Shortly afterwards the M.D arrives, opens the letter and reveals that it’s her notice. General confusion as to why she’s just wasted everyone’s time with the call upstairs when she’s leaving to work in an entirely different field.



Monday 03/03: She doesn’t come to work. She texts the office manager saying she can’t come to work because she’s received a really bad letter and can’t concentrate on anything else.



Tuesday 04/03: Not at work again. M.D getting pissed off. Office Manager then gets a text from the external training lady saying that this lass had text her saying that she feels like her time at the company is over. The external lady suggests to the office manager that he should take her upstairs and get to the bottom of what’s going on. Office Manager explains that nobody has f*cking seen her since Friday so that’s quite a difficult task.


MD has had enough and texts the girl telling her to come in by 2PM and explain what’s going on as a “bad letter” isn’t really an excuse. She comes in at 2 on the dot and then goes for a meeting with MD & OM before going home again.



I later find out that she’s claiming received a letter from HMRC saying that she owes them £7,000. This is for tax she didn’t pay whilst doing some “self employed Amazon delivery driving”. It is at this point that I’d like to refer back to a paragraph in my original message about her for absolutely no reason.


Oh and as a little bonus situation, she didn’t come to our Christmas work drinks. However me and the warehouse bloke got speaking to two random lads who knew the girl and told us she’s got an OnlyFans.

Despite only having 3 days holiday left, as a gesture of goodwill the bosses decide to let her have the rest of the week off to sort stuff out. They however do cancel her holiday which was planned for the 21st, 24th & 25th of March… the eagle eyed amongst you might realise that those dates are very close to today.



The office manager doesn’t believe her story and I might have suggested that if she was selling explicit photos on a website such as OnlyFans that it might explain the 7k debt more than Amazon delivery driver does…



10/03-14/03: I’m off, so no idea if anything funny happened here. I was too busy getting pissed and watching the horses.





Wednesday 19/03: She has to leave a couple of hours early for a doctor’s appointment. After she’s left the companies eBay store gets a notification offering them a discount on some women’s motorbike leathers that we’d shown an interest in. In an office with 1 female & 1 person who rides a motorbike it’s quite easy to figure out who it was.



Office Manager writes her a message on Zoom basically saying that he understands she’s leaving but she needs to focus on work rather than using the company eBay to look for bike leathers.





Thursday 20/03: She phones in sick. She’s had an allergic reaction to her new medication and she won’t be in.



Everyone in the office is fed up with her. I point out that if I was going to pull a sickie on the three days holiday I’d had taken away I’d probably call in sick the day before to make it less obvious. I also point out that the bloke in the warehouse who she’s bonking is off Friday/Monday/Tueaday which I’m sure is a coincidence.



Friday 21/03…



SIKE.



Thursday night she texts the office manager saying that she was being kept in overnight but doesn’t have a phone charger so won’t be able to text him until she gets out of hospital. There’s talk of telling her not to bother coming back but the wages have gone out so we’ll just play it by ear.



Complete radio silence until…



Wednesday 26th



The roles are reversed. The office manager was off sick today and she miraculously appeared from the dead. She goes on to her computer, obviously spots the zoom conversation and something in her snaps.



She goes on to the office managers computer (which isn’t out of the ordinary, if someone’s off we need to check their emails etc) and decides to search through his internet history so she can reply to his message about the bike leathers by saying “well look, you’ve looked on Ladbrokes and Facebook at work so you’re just as bad.”



For reasons I don’t think I will ever understand - the OM had; the day before this happened, searched for “how to find someone on OnlyFans” along with her on Facebook on his work computer. She hits the roof, screenshots and prints out what she’d seen and demands the Managing Director has a meeting with her upstairs.



She presents the evidence, and whilst I was obviously not privy to the whole conversation I have learnt two parts of it



  1. She angrily explains what she had found when she went through the office managers history, to which the managing director replied “why the f*** were you going through his history?” :lolol:
  2. The conversation ended with the managing director telling her to never use us a reference and to get out.


And get out she did, she stormed downstairs, said the company was a f*cking joke, made a point of not saying goodbye to me, slamming the door and driving off as fast as humanly possible.



Office Manager is back in tomorrow. Warehouse bloke who’s bonking the mental **** has said he’s not sure if he’ll be able to work with him again. There’s probably got to be some consequences to searching OnlyFans at work. The girl has a history of attacking companies on social media so there’s that too. We’ve also got two people coming in for interviews. I can not wait for the carnage tomorrow will bring hahahahaha.

Sorry about how shite the formatting is there. Typing a message on here crashes constantly now so I wrote it in my phone notes and it obviously hasn’t translated well.

Also, out of all the stupid things I’ve done on this forum, accidentally naming my company in that post and having to swiftly edit it might be the stupidest.

I was going to edit the company name out for you but can see you’ve done that yourself.

Otherwise, keep ‘em coming!
