None of them seem to realise there is a thing called getting older -- and when people get older they reach the right age for you.Draytonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421913838337434.post-87281374939746345642011-10-12T13:46:20.728+01:002011-10-12T13:46:20.728+01:00Ah, the fun of dealing with Saga...

One who springs to mind<br />was the head of marketing at Air UK (now defunct), a bloated shit whose<br />name I will dig out and be happy to publish.<br /> I travelled for hours to meet this<br />slob at his headquarters at Stansted airport. As I was early for the meeting I<br />had a snack lunch at the airport’s hotel. It soon became obvious to me that the<br /> afore mentioned Marketing Director was<br />entertaining a friend at an adjoining table, to whom he was boastfully regaling<br />his ‘great achievements’ at the airline. I left for my appointment as he<br />ordered coffee and brandies.<br /><br /><br />His far more<br />qualified female deputy tried to trace him with out success. When he eventually<br />turned up at his office over an hour late for our appointment, he asked her to<br />take his meeting as he was now too busy. At the subsequent follow up<br />presentation this corporate turd belittled his deputy’s opinions of our work.<br /><br /><br />Please name and<br />shame these people and perhaps you could sponsor an Award for the most<br />incompetent/arrogant/unqualified twat in marketing.<br /><br /><br /><br /> Rupertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421913838337434.post-61799383488722580992011-10-09T21:35:46.954+01:002011-10-09T21:35:46.954+01:00I know exactly how you feel, having been through s...I know exactly how you feel, having been through something similar the last few months.Rezbihttp://directmarketing.edu.plnoreply@blogger.com
