I think all minions should take note that when your boss says, “would you like to take back this document to correct it before submitting it to me for review again?”, there is only one answer. And the answer is “yes”. Because it really wasn’t a question to begin with.

Feeling bad abt telling a colleague off but also feeling annoyed that even after I said repeatedly that the client is on compliance leave and cannot work on any deals, my colleague wrote in his e-mail, “As spoken earlier…” Luckily I stopped him before the e-mail went out.

An underwriter from an insurer I work closely with resigned recently. He told his soon to be ex company that he was going to be a broker but refused to say which broking firm he was joining. Too bad for him he told my client which competitor broker he was joining and it didn’t take […]
