Can anyone give me a 'Fuck you, Neil'?

I sent some info out on Monday to some shareholders in my job. I sent an update to the information out today.

A Neil, who I have never had any interaction with, but who is a senior shareholder replied...

Thanks Ramsay, would have been good to know that on Monday and everyone agrees.

He copied in everone. It's more than my job is worth to respond...but a FU would be much appreciated.

And share any work frustrations...I'll be on your side.

I think I must have typed out all these replies, then deleted them when thinking about my mortgage 😂

It's supposed to be an environment not based on hierarchy but the shit doesn't half flow down hill. It can stay with me, I'll take the blame, punch a pillow, have a peach schnapps, go for a jog, hug my babies and move on. But for now:

FUCK YOU NEIL

Fuck that. If they disputed my factual message, in response I would say I am happy to adopt a “no blame culture ” as soon as senior management seem to be on board with it. As you can see from Neil’s email, he isn’t….. I have no tolerance for “one rule for them….” though.

Or you could say, I wasn’t apportioning blame, just thought it was important to ensure that Neil, as my senior manager, was abreast of all the facts.

Anyhow they aren’t going to sack you for sending a factual but polite message.

Thanks for your feedback Neil, I'll be sure to pass it on to the person that gave me the information today.

If you misspell his name, he'll have something else to complain about. He's so fucking rude though!!

ClearFruit · 18/07/2025 19:51

Oh my goodness, me too, now that I think about it!!

And me. That’s scary.

Fuck all the Neils.

putitovertherefornow · 18/07/2025 20:20

Fuck you, Neil, and the horse you rode in on

"The additional details only became available today, which perhaps goes some way to explaining why you didn't receive them sooner. Hope that clears that up."

Kind regards, OP

Neil, Neil always a third wheel
With teeth the colour of lemon peel
He has a wee nob like a baby sand eel
And a total absence of sex appeal
Mumsnet will crush you with our grinding wheel
Then spike your balls with a kitten heel.

LittlleMy · 18/07/2025 20:21

@RamsaySnowsSausage i would have replied back ‘Thanks for the feedback Neil, I’ll work on my crystal ball skills’.

FCK U Neil!

MyNameIsX · 18/07/2025 20:21

MrsTerryPratchett · 18/07/2025 20:18

And me. That’s scary.

Fuck all the Neils.

It’s like, the parents, when naming the baby, are shit out of ideas what to name him -

‘Fuck it, let’s call him Neil’
‘Yeah, but what spelling, though?’
’Who gives a shit, he will be a tool anyway - people will deliberately misspell it’
’You’re right, Neil/Neale/Neale it is’

RamsaySnowsSausage · 18/07/2025 19:37

I'd be accused of disrespect/ having an attitude etc.

Find a new job?!

I couldn't cope with that level of 'know your place' worship the god.

crackofdoom · 18/07/2025 20:24

Fuck you Neil, you are a cunting narcissistic manipulative passive aggressive self pitying arsehole and not even a Disney dad, just a fucking insanely lazy one who doesn't even do the nice things with the DC, let alone any of the parenting shitwork whatsoever, and when youngest DC gets to their teens I will take great delight in never ever ever ever having anything to do with you ever again.

And fuck your Neil too, OP.

Flannelfeet · 18/07/2025 20:25

Neil is such a shit name so he deserves a 🖕just for being a Neil. Sorry to all thats married to a Neil 🤭

Line 3 is absolutely true. Can confirm 😆

I would just say. “Thanks for the feedback Neil, the information only became available today but I’ll take it on board for future reference.”

This is very good.

Proper LOL.

Princessfluffy · 18/07/2025 20:27

It’s not your fault Neil that you are a wanker

✅ no blame culture

MyNameIsX · 18/07/2025 20:28

Thanks OP - you’ve introduced some much needed levity on MN!

I hope it all works out for you, sincerely.

whackamole666 · 18/07/2025 20:28

I hope his fucking shares tanked.

Never met a good ‘Neil’ - all been ocean-going a-holes.

Sorry but I take exception to this, meet Neil ,who can be an arsehole but is mostly adorable.

Can anyone give me a 'Fuck you, Neil'?
Flannelfeet · 18/07/2025 20:30

Is he a tall lanky neil with greasy hair and specks? If so tell him if he doesn't shut it you will tell his mum. 🤣

KateShugakIsALegend · 18/07/2025 20:30

Fuck you, Kneel

ChimpanzeeThatMonkeyNews · 18/07/2025 20:31

I’d diplomatically tell Neil (and every other fucker that he cc’d in,) that I did send it on Monday, and attach the email.
He’s tried to make you look like a twat, @RamsaySnowsSausage. Don’t let him!

Shimmyshimmycocobop · 18/07/2025 20:29

Awwww now thats a lovely neil 🥰. Hes cute as a button, unlike, i guess the OTHER neil 😏

whatwasthatnoise · 18/07/2025 20:31

Fuck you Neil, you fucking knob 🖕

ThoraHeard · 18/07/2025 20:32

No need for anything rude or PA. Just explain politely that the information was only available today. I wouldn’t assume he meant his comment rudely- he just made an incorrect assumption, which you can correct.

TerrysCIockworkOrange · 18/07/2025 20:32

Cat Neil can stay 😍

OP I don’t think you simply and factually clarifying why the extra info was delayed could be construed as ‘having an attitude’ by anyone, least of all Neil, without them making themselves look utterly stupid.
So please don’t swallow it or punch any pillows, send one of the brilliant replies up thread and have the peach schnapps as a reward for sticking up for yourself to Neil the Weasel

eurochick · 18/07/2025 20:36

I couldn’t let it go. I’d have to send a bland factual reply —when I really want to send a ‘fuck you Neil you passive aggressive tool—
