Zoe was the one who called a conference in the middle of a shopping centre with Susan in the middle taking all of Zoe's abuse whilst the other's just stood and watched.
If that ain't bullying i have no idea what is.

I've been calling Zoe a bully since watching this episode this morning - she has it in for Susan and consistently belittles her. Even if Susan was making ridiculous suggestions (which I don't think she was), Zoe had no right to speak to her like she did.
Her reaction to Susan's suggestion to pay for the furniture was horrible - not content with talking down to Susan by herself, she actually turned to Edna and roped her into it as well. Edna was horrible to Susan at one point in the app task, but at least she didn't call for backup. |

Wow. That shows how differently we see things. To me it looked as though Zoe was surprised by Susan's suggestion of paying, and then took it seriously. She thought that she, Zoe, might be getting it wrong. So she checked with Edna to verify they were all on the same page except Susan. It was entirely reasonable. She wasn't calling for backup, she was getting a third opinion.
Does that sound like someone who took someones comments on board and treated them seriously? |

I personally know that if someone asked me a supposedly outrageous question, I wouldn't have the same aggressive reaction like Zoe did. She got away with it in this rubbish task, but she needs to toughen up otherwise she'll be gone and soon. |

Im not a fan of Zoe but I would hardly call it bullying???? people are so obsessed with this work nowadays
She said herself that if she messes up again she's out so I reckon she'll be gone in a week or 2 I really like Susan now after last nights task ! But Jim is still my fav |

What she said this time was, "I don't know what's going on in your head", or words to that effect. Which was fair enough, because regardless of her understanding of the task, Susan was totally out of sync with what the others were doing. When Susan said they should go higher, what Susan meant is the opposite of what they thought she meant. They genuinely hadn't known what she was thinking. |

Does that sound like someone who took someones comments on board and treated them seriously? Its a different question about what the strategy should have been anyway - and if they were going to have that debate , they needed to have it before and Susan needed to make the point much more clearly. In what they have in the way of a discussion, Susan can't argue it, Zoe has decided the opposite, and Edna can't understand what Susan is saying and backs Zoe's view. According to Zoe, the boys are onboard for the strategy too. |

I agree. she did bully susan. regardless of susan's abilities, no one should be bullied at work.
From what i've seen, Zoe is some sort of misogynist. completely spineless, and terrible for a business environment. you won't get any young people rising through the ranks when there is someone like zoe to ignore them and make them feel shit. |

Edna was horrible to Susan at one point in the app task, but at least she didn't call for backup. She didn't take down Susan herself, she did ask Edna "Am I getting this wrong" about how she was going about the task, in case Zoe herself had been wrong. As usual Susan acted like a spoilt little brat, she's far too immature for this process and can't handle any, justified, criticism whatsoever. It's like she's doing an impression of Nikki Grahame from Big Brother all the time, she must be embarassed watching it as she behaves like a silly little 12 year old. |

I don't like Zoe, but I don't see anything wrong with what she did there. Accusing Susan of trying to sabotage the task (which as you mention in another post was earlier) was unfair; there was no reason to think that. At worst, Susan was making a point to use later in the boardroom if needed (much the same reason as Zoe gave her a dressing-down on the cosmetics task) |

You don't think asking Zoe how much the stuff on the floor weighed was ridiculous? Or offering to pay £150 for old desks?
Given Susan's initial failure to understand the task, the £150 for the desks made some sense. |

No, I don't. Zoe had no way of knowing, but maybe Susan was just asking her to consider the question - it's a tactic I often use if I think somebody might be overlooking an important element. And paying for the desks wasn't a ridiculous suggestion - it's the only way they could have won the contract with the other team's bid being zero.
So in conclusion, there’s no consistency in the arguments that were put forward. |

It’s funny that everyone, including Sugar, Karen and Helen’s own team members, thought that offering to take the stuff away for free was a high risk strategy for Helen. So, if offering to take it away for free was high risk (and one that only won it by £6), then what on earth would they have said if someone had dared to pay a client to take it away? If doing it for nothing is high risk, then surely paying for it is madness? It must be, logically. If you decide that paying for it would’ve been a tactical stroke of genius, then doing it for free cannot be high risk.

i dont like zoe, but i think the right person went, the Chinese girl is indefensible IMO, she showed her true colours in the beauty task and proved what a complete amateur she is, she claimed her forte was cosmetics and she couldn't sell a damn thing, and starts whining and blaming the customers, "nobody has any money around here", no dear you're not personable and you can't sell for s**t.
Right from day one all she's ever done was talk down other people's skills and talk herself up, I remember vivdly after project one when the Iranian girl did a fantastic job in her task, immediately after that task portion of the show was aired, she goes on camera saying "actually she wasn't all that good as a PM". What a cow. She's a complete amatuer and her weakness is going to show, it's all well making a few good observations from the back, but any fool can make random observations and half of the time they'd be right. But it's a complete different ball game when you take leadership and call the shots. Then you have people like the chinese girl who are always going to undermine you. She made a complete random suggestion about paying the office guy for the furnature, a real professional in the trade would not do that, but she has no business sense so made a random, then later because the other team bid £0 [a real person in the trade would not do that], she looked all smug. But it was just a jammy suggestion. No doubt she'll keep harping on about it. If someone involved in the trade were to take away stuff for free, they woud be out of business, the other team made £300 out of the used furnature.. add to that fuel costs, tax, tools and transportation, wages.. It will not go far at all. She also project managed very well, as commended by Nick who never compliments anyone. She was also the one who got the copper cylinders that almost won them the task in this weeks one. And she didn't look smug about the office furniture at all, more surprised I'd say after made to feel like an idiot by Zoe. Besides, even LAS said that they should have paid the furniture guy. |
