In Every Management Job I've Had

And I'll name two big f**king companies I've worked for in the past, but the same is true of others...

BT
Cable & Wireless Communications

If I f**ked up or underperformed, it wasn't the Call Centre staff or people who worked "under me" who were brough to account, it was me! What do they do, lay off 40 underperforming telephone jockies or sack the Manager. No brainer isn't it?
