I'm coming down with a cold.What a load of bollix..

Go into the chemist and sweet-talk them into giving you a bottle of Codinex.

Consume 4 or 5 teaspoonful's in quick succession. Then go back and rate this post "winner".

I try, man. I’ve cut down on pasta, red meat, bread, crisps, snacks and beer and it’s still expanding!

Pregnant?

Ok, so, I worked my arse off on a project recently, mostly covering for a more senior person who was on holiday. The head of our department just sent an email around showcasing the work and he thanked everyone but me, including the producer who I was covering for. I’m pretty annoyed. Should I say something?

 

[therealjohnny]

yes

 

[David Kronenbourg]

yes

that's a tricky one to word. should I say


Hi xxxxxx,

I’m a little disappointed that my contribution wasn’t mentioned as I feel I worked pretty hard on this.

Dear Bob

I'm delighted that you were pleased with the X project but concerned that my contribution appears to have been overlooked. I feel it is important for my career development that my work be recognised.
SO FUCK YOU, BOB, FUCK YOU RIGHT IN THE EAR.

Love, Bernie

Great stuff. Thanks Nooly!

 

[nooleen]

yes "love, bernie" isn't really workplace-appropriate

I would just say something to their superior, other wise they are still going to take the credit.

I'd probably phrase it as a very naive enquiry.

Dear Sir / Female Sir

I was wondering if you could explain the credit structure on projects as I have enjoyed contributing to project x in roles A & B C and D's job aswell.

He's the head of the whole video team and I generally have a good relationship with him. I'm surprised that he left my name out and now questioning whether my contribution was any good at all!

If you could just go ahead and acknowledge my work without offending the rest of the team

that would be great

He sounds class. I for one wish him the best in taking credit for other peoples work for the rest of his career.

Send a congrats to the producer.
"Yeah, well done, Dave"

he wasn't taking credit. he just acknowledged some people who worked on the project, but for some reason left me out. i think it might have been a genuine oversight.

 

[therealjohnny]

Send him a mass card saying "you know what you did"

Unless people are genuine pricks, these things usually sort themselves out.
