Br 1st ol Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 As a follow up to the "does your boss know" post, it seems that most City forum visitors are either self employed or in jobs with their desk discreetly in the corner of open plan offices... Just out of interest, and perhaps most importantly, to provide role models to all the school going forumers, what do you all do that allows you all to spend so long discussing city stuff on this forum rather than working? This profile information can help City in targeting their audience! For the record: I run a small design and marketing company in hampshire.

Guest Neo Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Payroll Manager. You get to sit in the corner with your back to the wall as you are dealing with sensitive information and hardly anybody bothers you as you have your staff processing the payroll and you just do the odd check here and there (build a decent set of spreadsheets for your staff and there is no checks to do!!). You get paid ok(ish) money considering you do next to sod all for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
