Actually I'm beginning to err on the side of agreeing with setting fire to the place..........possibly as an alternative to marching into the managers office dropping your strides and laying a cable on his desk.
I never quite get the whole thing about running a company that literally has 1 speciality and being utterly, utterly gash at it! I mean why?!?! Crapping little independants seem to get by so why can't a multimillion pound company manage!
Problem without not setting fire/pooing on the place is that you'll end up bogged down in the endless soul sapping paperchain of being fobbed off or at the very best 3 months just to get to the position that you SHOULD be in now.......this could make you give up on humanity.
Bloody cretins!
