I give it 6 weeks, they are totally oblivious to it and see it as their job is becoming easier.


If you care about him that much mate, give him some of your work. ;)

He'll only f*ck it up.

It was only last week I said to him "You know why I'm not a professional golfer? Because I'm no good at it, take note".

He does himself no favours

It’s terrible seeing someone lose their job but it sounds like this dude needs to go unfortunately

Yep, he's his own worst enemy, refuses to listen or soak in advice.

I can't even imagine anything he could be good at, placing stickers on apples is the only thing that springs to mind.

On a side note, I will be applying for his job if it becomes available :D

Perhaps it doesn't - and that is what makes him sad?

Managed to catch a glimpse of him as he exited, wasn't as much sad as angry...

A guy I played cricket against a week ago had a heart attack at this game on Saturday and passed away, while playing with his 14yo son.

Another reminder how life can be taken away so quickly.

Awful. Just awful.

I love driving higher performance cars. I wouldn't let anyone else drive mine. I've had my RS265 to 168 kph, but I'll probably never find out if it can do the claimed 255kph, as I'm usually running at about 6 demerit points down and can't afford to take the risk...

I don't know, we got our suspicions when they were ushered out the back door, when you get 4 weeks notice here they let you go immediately.

Poor bugger, 43 years old, recently bought a house, 7 years here without developing any new skills, very introverted, I can't see what his next move could be in a dying economy, my resumè looks quite reasonable and I've found it tough going looking to upgrade in the job market, I'm not sure how he'd go.
