re-re-re-re-re-reply time!
Well done, you have made yourself look a penis in front of most of your office and 2 managers all in one day over a petty argument
In this office it'll be forgotten about next week. And I haven't really, it was mainly kept between email apart from the time I fired off. Plus we are all really good friends with everyone in the department, some of em were mainly after gossip lol.
Not to mention a few on here laughing too!
That's always been the case hasn't it?
to be honest it would never get the far because after having left the reader in the car, I'd have gone "****, I left the reader in the car, better get another as I promised to return it today". the problem with this situation is it's actually Phate's fault that it all kicked off. the other guy could've responded better, but his actions were justified to make his point.
As I said before, I've been completely honest with the guy the whole way through, and had already ordered another (which turned up at home today LOL) so it's not as if I wasn't going to give it back, just funnily enough I have more pressing matters to worry about than a £2 card reader.
I actually wouldn't be surprised if Phate is now the laughingstock of his office. I wouldn't want to show my face!
You don't know me, or my office then mate. I am not the laughing stock, we are constantly slating each other, doing stupid things having a good time. Nobody is the laughing stock, 90% of things are forgotten within a week, time moves very quickly in there due to it, it's a great place to work.
Were you not embarrassed by being taken to 1 side by your manager being told that you were acting pathetically? Im mean afterall, youre an IT director!!
No I wasn't. I knew it was pathetic, I knew it was coming, I said this to my manager, and I said that I dealt with it in what I thought was the best way without resorting to getting physical with him. Manager said fair enough and that was it. When I came back a few people cheered lol.
And I'm not an IT Director.
I would have been embarrassed. Not the best sort of thing to be told in a work environment. Hope the other guy got the same treatment though.
Like I said, I wasn't embarrassed, I didn't care enough to be embarrassed. The other guy would've got the same treatment, it's a very very fair place to work.
Urm... why is everyone referring to Phate as an IT Director.. or are you taking the wee wee about something he's said in the past?
Long story short, year before last I made a thread because the IT Director tried to get rid of me, he then got made redundant and I was then kept on and given some of his responsibilities to which I said on here (probably the only thing I regret doing on here) "so I'm kinda like an IT Director"
I'm sure this will have done your chances of a pay rise no end of good....

You acted like a school child imo.
Pay has been sorted, but thanks for asking
The bit where he says he actually lost the reader? If I was the other guy, I'd be ****ed off. Jerks that borrow my gear then lose it only to keep making excuses up, I have absolutely no time for them. Especially when they take the matter elsewhere (in layman's terms - snitching).
As I said, I've been completely honest with him, had ordered him another, and had other stuff on to worry about a £2 reader. So what was I supposed to do? let him keep the phone? like hell I was, and I dealt with it in a way appropriate to the office so I wouldn't get in the crapper and just look like a school boy for about 30 seconds.
Great job Phate, really. You look like a douche to the other guy
I don't care, quite frankly the guy is a smug knowitall anyway and never had anything to do with him before.
and to the manager now.
Nope, it was all forgotten about and we were laughing and joking by 5.
