did anyone watch the apprentice?

nt

 

At a first glance the batch of wannabees look to have as little talent, just as big ego's and equally as sycophantic as last years intake. Disappointing - as Sugar said they were gonna be better quality this time round.

 

aye, didn't see a great deal of it but it pisses me off the way they all think the way to succeed and do business is to be a total lovely person a la Ruth Badger.

 

Didn't see the apprentice

But I once had a job 'interview' that involved a group roleplaying/team task thing. People were just talking B*ll*cks louder and louder, totally ignoring the task/objectives, but making sure that they said something, and had their input even if it was completely irrelevant B*ll*cks. I tried to bring the group back to the original problem but people weren't interested as long as they were seen to do something. Needless to say I didn't get the job. Which if that is how they picked the rest of the employees I am quite glad about.

 

The winner apparently get a 'six figure salary'. I believe this to be around 120K. That's small potato if you are a really confident up and coming business person - and you then have to take the crap of being an employee. I reckon the majority of people who go on that programme are more in it for their 15 minutes of fame. The money is a bit of a bonus because in their heart of hearts they just aint got the real talent to be successful business people in the Branson, Sugar League etc...............that said, it does often make good viewing though tonights fare felt just a little too 'samey'.

Reality TV is a great avenue for talentless - but thick skinned, loud, arrogant people - to make their fame and fortune. Sadly, the biggest culprits are us for watching it................on the other hand, there was nothing on the other channels apart from.... wait for it - 11 thick skinned, loud, talentless and arrogant tossers make a complete fool of themselves...............come on England!

 

RE: Didn't see the apprentice

Driver - exact same thing happened to me.

Although looking back Im so glad I didn't get a job with the company as I thne heard they were a bunch of sharks - and obvioulsy employed those who shouted the loudest. It an extremely nerve racking situation and little credit seems to be given to the ones who try to make the occassional considered comment, support others rather than try 'one upmanship'' etc etc.

 

both winners from the last 2 series...

have both quit the job...must say something about it

 

Fat car salesman allowed himself to be stitched up

weak backed fool.</p>

The fat blonde will not last.</p>

 

Wonderful Telly

Agree, the rest of the men must have laughing their cocks off as fatty put himself in the firing line. BTW don't hire a Quantum Physicist to do your orders, you'll be trying to offload 500,000 pairs of NHS clip-on sunglasses.

 

RE: Wonderful Telly

Where the fck did she learn maths ? Bet her research facility were gutted when she left.......</p>

</p>

Nice work with the name for the blokes team as well. Properly pmsl when 'Sir Alan' whipped out wotsisfaces CV and pillocked him.</p>

 

Similar thing happened to me. When I asked for feedback

it transpired that all the HR woman had done was count the number of times each candidate spoke and graded people accordingly!

 

did you watch the afterwards thing with Adrian Childes

the guy who got lobbed out seemed like a proper good lad with some decent ideas on how to manage people as opposed to shouting as loud as possible and being a prize ****.

Actually, how the **** has Childes managed to bungle a career in telly for himself - working lunch was one of the most amateurish and comical programs ever.

 

RE: did you watch the afterwards thing with Adrian Childes

Like that Declan character on BBC Breakfast - be fat with a provincial accent and let the well spoken types rip the piss out of you.</p>

The Apprentice attracts all the gobshite tossers that you get on Management Training courses. Nice little soundbites and a bit of jargon makes them think they are Lord Hanson. That prat that came up with the lads team name - this years saeed, gobby salesman who thinks his 'attitude' is hardcore business. ******.</p>

 

hehe

couldn't agree more

 

Well that's hardly....

... Blue sky thinking, you have to think outside the box and be pro-active about the win-win oppertunities that mat arise... </p>

come on Dirk, get with the programme !!!!</p>

Oh sorry,</p>

COME ON DIRK GET WITH THE PROGRAMME !!!!</p>

 

people who "think outside the box" and promote it's use in the english language.

utter c*nts.

not you by the way, Dave

 

You're obviously not taking the helicopter view about the situation. Which is why you'll never make it past Eugene's Lair on Jet Set Willy.

 

&quot;Let's work until we bleed&quot;</p>

</p>

Err, fck off.</p>

 

RE: people who "think outside the box" and promote it's use in the english language.

how about 'functionality'</p>

I always thought something was 'functional' and it had a function.</p>

Head 'Gobshite' of the soon to be united Wimpy and Taylor Woodrow, described the businesses as having 'commonality'</p>

ARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!! please tell me that is not a real word or kill me now !!!</p>

 

sorry on a roll now.

I was on a course recently when the speaker said ' when XYZ limited are obligated to undertake the task' .... you see I thought they may be ' obliged'.
