I did all this in my last job. Did loads of different courses in different areas of the company. Then i turned all the lads against the senior operator who was up for promotion, all the time singing my own praises in the office and getting the management to think I was a golden boy. Then I got promoted, soon after the management started criticising me for the stuff the lads where doing. The lads doing the same about management. I blamed everyone telling everyone it was someone else's fault. Eventually I got the promotion taken off me and then just didn't pull my weight. I felt like I was the only one in the company putting the effort in then I got called in the office for a talk, although nothing bad was really said I felt I couldn't stay in the job and handed my notice of resignation. I've had 15 jobs in as many years and can't seem to hold one down, they all seem too much for me and I get fed up and leave. I always think there's more to my life than this. One thing I noticed is how I constantly made an effort with female clients and had them singing my praises to my boss. One building manager still keeps in touch with me and tells me how nice I was and how she misses me. I wouldn't say I encourage it but at the same time I don't play it down. I wouldn't doing anything outside my marriage but sometimes I do tend to get a little flirty and then panick when women give me the come on.
