A good workplace

Which glasshouse is that?

I could tell you but i'd have to kill you!

I have seen both sides of the coin, I worked in a dirty factory with no windows for 12 years!

I work on a modern MoD site with 4 restaurants, Ritazza cafe, shop, hairdresser, gym, tennis courts, all set in a few hundred acres of landscaped gardens with ponds and fountains, swans and ducks.

It has its own train station and it’s not in London, best place I’ve ever worked hence why I’ve hung around so long!

At GSK house they have a large restaurant, hairdressers, coffee bar and a mini supermarket thing on site. At Greenford, where I was based they also had a gym. At Astra Zeneca they have 4 restaurants on their Alderly Edge site. The site even had a bar and is in the middle of farmland in Cheshire – as part of the agreement when ICI got the site was that it had to stay as a working farm. It’s all landscaped etc – shame the rates were always crap!

Shell used to give everybody free food – don’t know if they still do. BP give us £5 per day on our ID badge to pay for/towards lunch.

The site I work on provides a fridge stacked with beer, TV, comfortable sofas, landscaped gardens, baths, and sex on tap.

I work from home.

Oh so your clients come to you. Still, all that butt slamming must make
sitting down difficult.

Yeah yeah whatever, you don't get sex on tap when in stable relationships, everybody knows that. You only get sex on tap when relationships are starting out!!!

[DimPrawn]

Of course, the sex on tap ends when the wife gets home.

When you are working with a bunch of married older people it can be a bit dull. they tend to be grumpier and not up for social stuff.

With young people, all blagging it together, you can become good friends. You socialise together and if something comes up at work you know a mate will really stick their neck out for you and help rather than some old dude who just wants a quiet life and home to the family.

So I have seen good and bad workplaces!

The best workplace is one you create yourself because you're the boss.
