Don't know why I'm thinking "Fight Club" here.

It is a shame you cannot CLAWPOMB in the real world ; )

...keepin' up the "shitstorm 2016" trend, uh?

anyway, I'll tell you what happened me some years ago.
Imagine a damn jarhead that become too fat for the helicopter to lift off changing career. magically, from shooting ISIS or dropping teams around in the desert, he moves back to London and become nontheless than a CEO. CEO!!! and of what? Sustainability. WHAT SIR? WAAAAAT? let me get back and check. How much can an ex-helicopterist that now needs three chairs to land his nurgle-like butt (on a reinforced structure), with a previous internet-taken degree in economics, understand of SUSTAINABILITY and ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE? ok, ok: maybe he can witness in first person the terrible effect of dangerous gas emission... when he farts under the sheets. WTF I had to swallow from the gall cup in uni studying stuff about 0-emissions, certifications, iso... and I see this guy talking BS about the job I should do within his team? for half the wage of my previous job inside the SAME COMPANY? Bonkers, mate, BONKERS!

Hope all works out ok, always annoying when companies treat people like this, then you get people who just lie and seem to get away with it constantly. Winds me right up

Haha sounds awesome! Hope you'll update us tomorrow! :DDD

sounds like you're too trusting. Personally I wouldn't train anyone after getting laid off...unless I was being rehired as their supervisor with a hefty salary upgrade.

@awambawamb it seems the world has truly gone to shite, I cannot wait to see what 2017 brings ; )
@Arktoris a lot of lessons have been learnt ( if painfully)
@roante if I survive tomorrow I will give an update : D

Look... don't take this the wrong way... but when you are that enraged about something that you engage him with insults at a frikkin christmas party it is really hard to not agree with the assessment of you being "too fired up". I am not saying rightly so, or wrongly so - but you obviously were.
These things happen, and we don't like it, and it sucks... but as you describe it, this is a big frik-up on your behaviour, and if I were you id try to find a way to aknowledge that, without it influencing your (as you state it) good claim at having been in the right. This should imo be your goal now, and rage is never going to achieve that, no matter how understandable.

Warfare is fought with Deceit. The art of war is getting your opponent to impale himself on his own sword. You can give yourself a promotion, if you make the incident look like it was his own doing.
Posted by luxyluxo on 2016-12-04 22:11:54
@Gromilram and Wuhan, I completely agree with both of you. I am not happy with my behaviour and lessons have been learnt. I need to start reading the art of war or taking up meditating. Though I must say this type of behaviour is completely uncharacteristic for me.....but dam at the time it felt good :D.

It felt good. And free alcohol. Worst Xmas party ever? ;)

Screw them.
You were the best in your job. Competitors will fight to hire you.
They're the ones losing something here.
People who are:
1)smart
2)honest
3)committed to their job
4)experienced
are not easy to come by.
Ask for a raise. Demand apologies.

so sad that 99% of the story supports any case you might have except...
that 1% where you drink (too much) on a work related event. Looks like you're still OK though. Back to part 2.
