Anyone remember the Flexi-time CF?

Thought I'd heard the last of her but unfortunately not. Colleague who left her job due to cheeky fuckery with her flexi-time for those of you who missed the first instalment.

I'm moving between fuming, embarrassed and incredulous at the moment. I've also laughed but I think that's shock more than anything Smile
DH and I were out for the afternoon at a Christmas market. Had a lovely day and stopped at an coffee shop with tables outside before coming home.
We'd been there about 10 minutes when I noticed a group of ladies in their 60's a few tables away and one of them was staring straight at me. I didn't recognise her and carried on with chatting with DH. I noticed her again when all her friends started turning round to have a look. I didn't know any of them.
I'm starting to think she may be someone I'd been in contact with in a work capacity as she is looking quite angry. As I said in the original thread I work with children/families and I have been approached by people previously who have been angry and upset. Only a couple of times though.
I continue to ignore it and we're getting ready to leave. DH goes inside to pay and use the loo and the minute he does this lady gets up and comes over, with her takeaway coffee cup in her hand. I can tell by her face it's not going to be a pleasant chat.
She asks if I'm pleased with myself and I say "I'm sorry, I don't know who you are". She says she's FTCF's mother and who do I think I am to refuse her daughter a reference! Do I realise I've ruined her career and I should be ashamed of myself. Everyone is looking now and I don't want to get into it so I just say she really doesn't have all the information.
She then takes the lid off her coffee and empties it into my fucking handbag on the table and walks off!!!!
I'm absolutely gobsmacked Shock
I'm home now and want to call FTCF and give her a mouthful but DH is trying to talk me out of it.
Maybe I should just have a large G&T Gin

This thread is the gift that just keeps on giving, chuckling like Muttley here Grin

And now you've mentioned that the audit took place before CF left, I can't help wondering what was really said to her ...

What's the betting they told CF they'd accept her immediate resignation.....

Lillyringlet · 12/12/2017 20:46

I worked somewhere who have you the option to resign and not officially be fired... They also didn't tell other staff that they fired them!i found out why I suddenly had to manage a marketing department 3 months after I started was that they fired my predecessor for similar and worse behaviour. I only found out after I made the move to get one of my employees fired for misconduct (he was caught watching TV on his computer and Christmas shopping by other staff when I was at meetings) but couldn't tell my other staff that they do deal with this sort of behaviour.

Kicker - I lost my contract (it was only temporary before a director of marketing started) because of someone's screw up concerning budgets and everything thought I had been fired rather than getting a month paid for in exchange for ending my contract earlier.

This case in guessing she was asked to leave... And didn't take it well.

Abouttoblow i can't get into your original thread xx

Abouttoblow · 12/12/2017 21:11

Yes Kaytee - I am thinking of that other thread (i think that one's been taken dow).

Take my advice, people, never read two threads on similar themes at the same time especially if you're a bit dim like what I am

Thank you About - I have always prided myself on my tact and diplomacy. Grin

Link to original thread at the end of the OP’s first post on page one. About, I’d missed the original thread but have gorged on the lot today! Just brilliant!!! Thanks for the LOLs.😂😂

Lellikelly26 · 12/12/2017 21:23

I read your other thread and you do sound a bit vindictive

ChevalierTialys · 12/12/2017 21:26

Seriously @Lellikelly26, read it all. Its not OP who's vindictive.

Abouttoblow · 12/12/2017 21:34

Yeah OK Lellikelly26 I'm way past worrying about that.
I'll ask you the same question I've asked before.
If you have children and they are let down by public services because I pissed off to give my husband his wedding ring/make sure my mum's washing machine delivery went OK/meet my agent for my rental property while I should have been at work would you still be saying that??

I've just finished reading both threads, it feels like I just binge watched a boxset! Hate to admit it, but i'm hoping Mummy comes back - just so I don't have to find something on Netflix now Xmas Grin

And tomorrow I'll have to make up for the hours i spent on here...

PastaOfMuppets · 12/12/2017 21:48

Mommy/FTCF, why don't you read the entire thread to get a bit of perspective on what has actually happened?
