The art of the snub

There are a lot of problems with this new part time role. So much so that I am back to semi-regular posting. One of the major problems was the recruitment process - it seemed unbalanced that while I had to present my best and most professional side to the firm to get hired, they presented their deceiptful, incompetenet, disorganised and inexperienced side to me (don't ask me why I then stupidly accepted their belated offer).

The main culprit was one of the jumped-up snotty blondes in HR who'd been in the job a minute and was waaaay younger than me but has managed to snub me in subtle ways ever since I started (and thanks for not passing my bank details onto payroll so I was paid a week late, bitch).

Then last Friday I receive an appointment request for an 'informal chat' with above-mentioned anal-retention poster girl to talk about 'how you are getting on' and 'your feedback on the recruitment process'.

So cruel. I have so much to say, and could say it so well but what's the use when the person I want to complain about is the person who is getting my feedback? I can't picture gummyblonde taking down notes about her inefficiency and duly handing them onto her team manager.

I did the only thing I could to honestly express my opinion of the recruitment process- I emailed Buffy-the-Competence-Slayer 15 minutes before the 'informal chat' to say I was too busy (on the internet but whatever) and could we make it for another time.

I hope she bumps into me when I'm on my way out shopping at the appointed hour.
