As it's my company's financal end of quatre, they've decided to get all "team spirty" so what the prick have decided to do is have a "Rainbow Week"!

"Rainbow Week"? I hear you ask, the bastards are going to force me to wear a different colour or combination of colours everyday.

The fuck wits! or else I get a charity fine.

Monday has to be all blue, I think I'll call in sick.

Does anyone else have this shit?

 

[Juno]

Blue Monday? Someone there must have a sense of humour anyway.

That sounds unnaturally cruel though...

This is the most stupid thing I heard in ages

My wardrobe is half black and half green, I would be ruined...!

These companies are sick.... a few months ago some SuperBoss from the States came over to visit us and we all had to go out for dinner. We went in a mad expensive Italian restaurant in Merrion Row (starters €16, €25 for a steak!!!!). The fucker spends half an hour studying the wine list and then, since he doesn't find anything he likes, orders champagne.

I guess the dinner cost at least €100 each for 25/30 people (hence a bill of about 3 grands) and the mentioned fucker pays with his golden plated company VISA...

So far so good. The following week I receive an email from the US, saying we wouldn't get the bonus that quarter because the company is doing bad. Can you believe that?!?

Isn't rainbow week a gay and lesbian awareness week?????? Bet your bosses would love that, esspecially if they're homophobic!

 

[krystal]

imagine it was rainbow *kiss* week

now, that'd be something

 

[rumpus]

that's halarious

we give our time to these people for 8 hours a day and they treat us like we're all a big weird family with no sense of personal dignity

I love team spirity stuff, it makes me laugh

OK it's Monday, and I'm wearing Blue, that was easy, but god only knows what I've got for tomorrow.

Total fines for the week if you don't play along €12, (that's about the price of a pint of erdinger in the Porter House) or 50c for every wrong colour.

Damage Limitations!

Dont take that shit Darren.

Stand up and be counted...Fuck the system, Fuck the system!!!

As manowar say in 'heart of steel'..."Stand and Fight"

Or you could just sit down and take it which probably the best bit advice in Irelands current economic climate

I was in it on Saturday night and erdinger was a whopping €5.30 after 11, 11!

50c for every wrong colour

so do they mean that every single item of clothing must be the correct shade?

i can see the arguments at the reception:

>my knickers are blue!
>no they're not, they're green
>it's the light, i swear thy're blue
>they look green to me, come on, pay up the 50c.

 

[DontMugYourself]

Well I was at The Wonky/ Paddys weekend thing in the Village and was charged €14.90 for 2 vodkas & 1 coke.

Exactly, there was a nasty turquise incident earlier. And you can't have a print either! so there's a lot of t-shirt's being worn backwords.

but.....I'm up for a prise today, so not all bad.

 

[sparse]

Bastards!

Didn't win a prise and tomorrows is a "Posh" day. They claim in a spicegirls kinda way.

I'm contacting HR as we speak.

Sounds like a case of a boss with a mid-life crisis, trying to prove that he/she still knows how to have fun. And lots of other suck-up employees joining in.

 

[kmastering]

I think it's just a ruse for your spice girl obsessed boss to make you dress up like the various members so he can get off. Is wednesday ginger day? What happened to "rainbow" week?

 

[LMD64]

yeah, and when do you get to dress up as Jeffery, George, Zippy or Bungle?
or, god forbid, Rod or Jane?
