I want to be made redundant so I'm being as rude as I can get away with to a senior manager

[ohyesido]

Have I gone too far?

Very odd way to carry on. Let's hope you don't get fired and need a reference or universal credit.

@MinkaLeDinka I shan't because it's a figure of speech and in context

@ohyesido that is funny but now your plan is ruined because they just think you like to make a joke and they’ll keep you forever and ever 😄

There comes a point in every woman's life circa 40+ (assuming the OP is a woman of course) where they reach the 'Will Not Tolerate Bullshit Any More' stage, and I think the OP just reached it. Joyous.

If I was the recipient, I'd find a way to get you fired & save the company some money.

My thoughts too.

Clearly you are not so clever … redundancy is not a cash award for rude people and misfits.
More likely you are heading for disciplinary.

There's also a stage in many women's lives when they are able to own their own life decisions and stop relying on other people to make things happen for them. This too is joyous.

Just remember you'll need to pay. 😉

Yes, this kind of behaviour, normally, as per policy in most companies, you are risking being dismissed on conduct.

Not sure it’ll help with redundancy.

Sometimes companies are lazy and don’t properly performance manage so large companies may offer redundancy to someone they want to get rid off if there are any going, but generally that’s unusual.

Do you need your job OP?

if you do, then I’d rethink your strategy for validation.

If you don’t, crack on. Will be amusing to see how long it takes for you to be fired.

Same here.

What a load of immature, attention seeking shite.

@ChaosHol1 oh phooey I burned the darn muffins

You're confusing not tolerating crap and knowing how to deal with it, with being an immature idiot? Weird.

You should go to a therapist and explore why you're using these kinds of means to get noticed. I promise you can get better, because you will get noticed as a loser and you'll continue feeling bad about yourself.

Nothing will make you do something with your life, other than yourself. Don't be a victim.

@Anuta77 don't you worry, I'm comfortable with myself

@GiddyBiscuit it's bleak but tolerable, I have a lot to be thankful for I'm just a standard 40 something dealing with gradual disintegration

You might feel differently when you find you can’t get a reference. I would advise caution!

If i was still employed i would employ you as “a difficult to manage” but strong contributor type employee

An oxymoron if I ever heard one. There is a reason why so many job specs specify team player.

I'm not sure the plan is a good one without a large stash of 'F. U. money'. Anyway you have reminded me of the poem Warning by Jenny Joseph which begins:

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we’ve no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I’m tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people’s gardens
And learn to spit...
