Contractor sneakily fired after pointing out odious ignorance
This week, meet a reader we'll Regomize as "Val" who shared a story from his time as a contractor for a housing association in the North West of England.
"The IT manager was, to be blunt, an insufferable bore," he told On Call. To make matters worse, he had no people skills and clearly enjoyed bullying colleagues and underlings.
Val wouldn't put up with it.
"I was already too old and weathered to take that kind of treatment from anybody," he told On Call.
