Bloody Monkeys

Afraid to say I think hiring some bloody monkeys from goddamned Gibraltar might be more efficient than trying to get my local staff to show a smidgen of initiative or, just for the sheer fucking novelty value, self-motivation to take a bloody lesson....

Such as when I fly back in and observe that they've not moved on a damned thing since I was gone, to mean to start getting things done.

Or, further, in writing up some biz letters for our latest pan-continental effort, to take a fucking hint when I correct the SAME FUCKING MISCHARACTERISATION OF OUR BLOODY GODDAMNED EFFORT (with respect to what I admit is an utterly misconceived push, but hey) and reflect on whether they fucking understand what they are fucking doing.

Or perhaps when I ask for a promo item to be mocked up and merely doing a cut and paste from something else and asking me to write and edit the fucking thing, instead of responding to my observation that it's not me job to write things for them, that's why I have the executive bathroom, to say "but I don't really know what the client wants....." either go out and find out, or just sell the fuckers some rubbish idiotic useless utterly not-recommendable risk management products.....

Worked in the US didn't it?

[Well okay, perhaps not]

Your proverbial suaveness will probably do the trick...
