First thing.. this isnt a place to be a spelling nazi, it doesnt get you friends of make you look clever.. You dont get tesco points for every word corrected.. AND.. I find it insultive.. god invented spell and grammer check for a reason... unless your the TFS version of that annoying paper clip in word...
so answers to your questions,
Any of that sound familiar to your posting ?
No, none of it, because you assumed all that, none of what you said couples with anything that is actually going on. Sorry to say mate. But not to worry, I will say that the person in question is failing in his job, and has not made the company money for 6 months. He blamed the market till I stepped in 4weeks ago, and proved his excuse wrong...
And what is the meaning of as you wrote 'Build the client' ?
Its a slang term that is used in my industry, where we have to build a relationship up with the client sign terms and agreements, along with maintaining that relationship and maximising the profit margin we get out of said client. I could write for hours about Business Development and how it needs to be done correctly.
Are you building some kind of life size robot or something ?
Classified.
Don't throw those toys out of the pram please !
I just need to correct you on something - I did 5 seconds of research and found that God didn't actually invent spell check, as you said he did in your reply above.
According to Wikipedia the following person did :
John Seely Brown (also known as JSB) is a researcher who specializes in organizational studies with a particular bent towards the organizational implications of computer-supported activities.
He invented spellcheck and received a standing ovation as the keynote speaker for University of Michigan's 2005 graduating class for this invaluable contribution to society.
1. Not to split hairs but you say above that you stepped in 4 weeks ago and proved him wrong, but in your original posting you said it only took you two weeks
2. I still think you should share more of the story, the actual business you are involved in etc, so that the rest of us can give a balanced view as to whether you are being fair to your colleague or not. After all I'm assuming Mark Fox is your real name, we know the area where you work and someone may know said colleague of yours here.
3. No I'm not a spelling Nazi and resent that four letter word being used in any context directed to myself or any other member of the human race. Find another way to express yourself please.
4. Having flown and worked with many ex military aircrew I would never expect this type of behaviour from them. The crew I have known would never use a public forum to insult a colleague in this respect. The old RAF motto of 'stiff upper lip !' e.g. get on with the job and don't moan about it.
