Just be awkward but within your contract.

As your in sales they will be paranoid your taking business with you.

I assume you've already got all the files you need :)

Your being paid to sit there then so be it.

I'm with Cookie, go for the big steamer in the middle of the office.

The guy is clearly a child and you being around isn't helping anyone.

I believe this ^ is exactly why companies often cough up for the gardening leave.
You are now effectively an eager employee of a competitor company, sitting in their offices.
IMHO you shouldn't have to do anything that can be easily detailed in a dismissal letter, I would just start by making each contact a potential customer for you in the future.
Planned & thought through, it shouldn't be too difficult to effect.
If it works well & they don't notice, it may help to give you a good repute in your new position.
If they do notice, they will probably bite the bullet & pay you the gardening leave.

Makes it all the worse when the sun is out :( It will not be for long mate.....do you not have any holiday owing to you? Take it.... Oh dear do I hear a slight cough? Are you coming down with something ?


Had my second interview with the second company I saw today, have the 2nd one with the first company next week,,, if you follow lol.
However if these guys offered me the job, I would take it, they really come across as a decent bunch, I went to their works this morning to see them.

Frankie do you want me to introduce you to Klima-Therm? You'd fit in really well there and the Sales Director has a race team truck (and a few race bikes)

I think they are going to make this as uncomfortable as they can for me,cant wait for a beer tonight :)
Hahah this brings back memories one job I left I worked remotely fixing computers the day I handed my notice in they took all my admin rights off me. I took my head set off put my feet up and started reading the paper the manager walked over and started giving me a abuse. I told him I could not fix anything with out any admin rights. Unfortunatly they were restored 2 minutes later but I still tried to see If I could break the record for cups of tea made in a day for the next 2 weeks.
"80mph" sorry officer I possibly could not have done that I'm no Valentino Rossi.
