Colleague means someone you work with. Can everyone in the world stop saying work colleague and go back to saying colleague, please, like when the world was better and I was younger.

Readers wrack their brains trying to recall what a 'work colleague' actually was.

Is this the co-workers thread?

I had to briefly go into work yesterday and saw a work colleague*.
It was weird seeing someone who doesn't live in my house.


*and by 'work colleague' I mean a colleague at work

Fucking better than having to call them associates or team members or partners or some other shit. Make it clear that you're only there because you are being paid.

DrGreggles

Or 'El Bandito'.

Possibly only if your work colleague has that as a nickname though.

A friend is just a colleague you haven't worked with yet.

French-Canadian company I worked for insisted we were all 'members'. I don't know what this was supposed to say about us all being unified and have a say in the way the company was run, but it basically amounted to them being very pushy with us buying shares and treating us like children for not obeying company law - e.g. if you forgot to do a timesheet your email would get disabled and the business unit fined so several levels of boss would bother you about it.

When you leave work, you can still be friends with that person.

Colleagues can be another word for cunts depends on the sort.

Vinnie, with all the leisure centres shut, this must be a dry period for you in at least one way.

Been very busy with engineering courses with various assignments. One of the LC has now become a testing centre.
Last visit to a Leisure centre was Cleethorpes last year to inspect the wave machine.

The company that runs it probley would be good for these thread.

Excellent advice, nothing else he ever said springs to mind though.

It is very rare for me to befriend work colleagues, the catering company I recently left in Feb this year that was ran by an incompetent leisure company, hired a head chef who was an idiot that no one (particularly the girls) liked after the old Head chef quit her job.  Previous work places I seen colleagues going out with each other and then fighting or arguing at some points.

The Old Head chef, I have been friends with even now.

At work, mainly to do work and not to make friends.

Shoulders?-Stomach!

Kirkstall Leisure Centre is shut and as I paid for a year's membership up front I'm not sure if I will get any money back.

The pool facilities are uninteresting. A 25metre pool for Lane swimming that is very shallow, max depth 1.6m. And a small octagonal pool that looks like a very large jacuzzi which seems to be for small humans to toilet into.

Cleethorpes been shut for a while it was undergoing changes to the Windows so they drained the pool out. Now the cronavirus caused them shut again.

Picked up a novel a while ago. First page contained "first began". Put down. NO regretz.

I actually really miss my colleagues since the shop closed down. I don't usually get on with people, but they were all really nice.
