BIG bad Dom is back on the jobs market. These six tell-tale signs will identify if you’re working with him:
Ignoring all conventions
Just like Dom banned ministers from GMTV, you’ll know he’s the new store manager in your Asda when he bans sales to anyone with a Tesco Clubcard. “They’ve voted with their feet and they’ll have to live with the consequences,” he will be caught off-handedly saying over the tannoy.
Encouraging hate
When your local Greggs encourages customer loyalty by continuously slagging off the Pret over the road, calling them ‘continental wrap-peddling scum’ who ‘trail their dicks in the salad’ then you’ll know Dom’s found a new position in lunchtime retail.
Writing blogs
Any call-centre worker directed to read their new supervisor’s ‘map of unrecognised simplicities of effective action’ then given a new answering script which ‘explicitly acknowledges the fractal complexity of interaction’ can expect to see a familiar bald head looming over their cubicle shortly.
Ignoring the rules
Running a bus company only to find a new driver’s developed a ground-breaking new route which involves going up the M1 to Durham for tea with his parents, for which the passengers are given scornfully weak excuses about eyesight tests? Dom’s on board.
Calling everyone wankers
It’s important, when managing a school canteen, not to openly refer to all the teachers as ‘useless wankers’ who ‘couldn’t run a tech start-up if given six patents and £6.2m of seed money from an angel investor’. When your newly-hired dinner lady comes out with this, check for gilets.
Demanding you humiliate yourself to support him, then f**king off seven months later
Has the latest recruit to your distribution warehouse toppled shelves by crashing a fork-lift, then insisted you and all other senior management say he only did it to be a good father to his children, then pissed off? Who else could it be?
