| 00:00 - 00:05 | So, my projects were running at a 15% loss across the board |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | I was getting a hard time off my Project Directors |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | So what was I supposed to do about it ?? |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | Jobs were still only half done, so I got a brainwave. Book to other job numbers. |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | F**k me, it worked !! |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | Put a few hours on someone elses job number.. |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | and it can go unnoticed. |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | I was firing hours everywhere for years. |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | Suckers !!! |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | I got others on my team to start booking to others' project numbers too, even to the Admin numbers |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | I couldn't believe we were getting away with it. |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | And wait for it ....................... Then I got PROMOTED ! |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | All the other PMs |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | were still working their arses off, |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | Late nights, early mornings |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | And I barely doing 30 hours a week and |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | I was actually clocking 60+ |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | AND paid overtime. |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | Not to mention the "Time in Lieu" |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | I was hardly working 6 months in the year. |
| 01:35 - 01:36 | Wait for it ... wait for it.. |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | I picked up a big bag for expenses. |
| 01:41 - 01:44 | But seriously, this isn't how it should be done. |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | When you are claiming for your expenses |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | make sure you're well prepared and |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | have a big leather suitcase for the cash ! |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | I was falling over it. |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | I couldn't believe they hadn't clicked. |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | I booked a few hours To "Early Leads" and "BD" |
| 02:05 - 02:07 | Another few to "Promotional" |
| 02:10 - 02:11 | Even "Training" for |
| 02:11 - 02:13 | for.. for .. for "Leadership Skills" |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | Me, a Leader ???? |
| 02:17 - 02:20 | Who are you codding ???? |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | I couldn't even lead a St Patrick's Day Parade sitting in a fancy car. |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | And nobody noticed? |
| 02:30 - 02:32 | Eventually, yes. |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | Eoghan Lynch asked me ...... |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | Why did I book 4 hours to BD, and not 3.5? |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | So, I obviously apologised. |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | And you updated the timesheet? |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | So, of course I reduced the BD time to 3.5 hours as asked by Eoghan. |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | and I just booked those extra hours to Rory Mc's job number. |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | Sure, there's nobody checking his hours anyway. |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | Do you know what the best part is? |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | I was eventuallly promoted to Director |
| 03:31 - 03:36 | AND NOW I'M GROUP 2 LEADER !! |
