It protects you from the collector.

First, I would suggest establishing a clear line between work and social, the higher up you go, the less friends you have. It’s great that you tried to help them initially and now it looks like you’re getting fucked unfortunately. I would advise staying away from these people on a social level and continue to work together professionally, clear line of separation.

Since the company was lining to performance management them, then they must have not been performing. Unfortunately in the corporate world, people are happy to palm problems off to other departments. From what I’ve read, it has been 2 years since, and not knowing how long they have been in the company, making performance management and termination a tad more complicated.

You can’t get them fired for no reason, but you can report your conversation to HR and have this logged as inappropriate and troubling. In all reputable companies there’s a whistleblower system where you can anonymously report things on ethics, mismanagement, toxic behavior etc.

In sum, keep it professional and avoid social, if they are not performing, they’ll end up getting performance managed out soon enough.

Lol that’s fucking hilarious.

Did your dad just pimp you out?

Might sound crazy, but I actually went through it all lol. For music you may want to consider the lastfm cog. I use it for movies so I have themoviedb cog and created my own letterboxd cog… not great but it works. i also use aiuser with an API, useful to get some (old) information and you can set it up to roast people or talk in a certain way for entertainment purposes. cleanup is another useful cog to quickly clean up a lot of messages quickly (delete from message ID, delete messages between message ID1 and ID2 etc). i use the system cog to get server cpu/ram/hd usage.

You must really love your wife haha. Seriously, try to enjoy the concert. You’re already going, so you might as well try to enjoy yourself.

What band / singer?

Thank you for all the replies, did not expect to get so many. In conclusion this is what we’re going to do, while I also try to reply some of the comments here.

Have you failed to factor in human fallibility to your cost-benefit analysis for this gym membership?

We agreed if anyone is going to be late, then they should notify in advance.

Three times? I’d switch trainers as they’re not respecting the time I’m paying them for. Five minutes late, thrice in a row? I wouldn’t go back. There’s plenty of trainers out there. 5 minutes is about 8% of an hour. If he’s just driving in at 5 past, it’s gonna be closer to 10 past before he’s actually training you. He’s not giving you 15% of the hour you have paid for, and if he does it 7 times, he’s stolen a whole hour of training from you Go elsewhere. If they don’t respect your time and money someone else will. Sounds like my hairstylist. I’m always her first client of the day, and I always end up sitting outside and waiting for her to get there. I get it, going to work sucks. She’s good and I like the location, so I don’t complain.

All valid points, but I’m going to give him another shot, just because he’s a great kid with a great attitude during sessions. He has a big focus on form which I really appreciate to avoid get injuries.

Warm up stretches.

I walk to the gym, its not too far, then walk up 3 floors of car parking to the gym’s back entrance (gym is in a mall and the main entrance only opens at 10.30am). Pretty warm by then! I guess that’s part of my frustration. Happy to say I went to the gym today and everything was set up and ready to go by the time I arrived.

He woke up late, won’t happen again etc etc. I’ve got 4 trainers with the gym because I do 6 days a week but only 1 guy is always late. It’s also distracting when we’re working out and he runs off to swich machines on in the middle of a rep. They always want me to commit 100+ hours each time I renew and paid upfront, so I guess being punctual is not too much to ask. In a way waking up at 6am everyday prepping for gym requires some discipline, I expect no less from the trainers.

He’ll improve for sure, until the English Premier League starts and Arsenal (his team) plays a late (+7) game on Sunday / Monday morning, then I’ll need to have a conversation with the gym manager again.

Yea just did a couple of minutes ago.

Yes, my bad I also failed to mention it happened 3 days in a row.

I pay by the hour, and I need to start sharp at 7 and finish at 8, then get ready for work by 9. If the gym is open at 7am, they should be in earlier and ready to go by 7am.
