Grim Places to Work

[psychocandy]

I had an interview there a few months ago.
2 minutes before I was supposed to turn up the agent called me, the line manager had already called the agent "Demanding" to know where I was.

It didn't get much better after that, especially when I was asked how I would motive underlings into working overtime for free

Couldn't stand either of the people interviewing me either. Odious little ***** the pair of them

2 mins before you were due? Taking the piss or what?

Sound likes the type of place where they'd expect you to work extra hours for free then moan if you left 10 mins early one day.

Welcome to the South East

I couldn't believe this at my first contract in the SE. Our team was fine because we came from all over the country, but the other teams would avoid eye contact even when waiting fot the same kettle to boil.

Then one night I bumped into one of them in a pub near my hotel and started chatting. His parting shot?

"Now that we've introduced ourselves I'll say hello in the office".

That one had me scratching my head... Was this normal behaviour?

Needless to say I declined the offer of a permie position when my contract came to an end.

The Dean Clough building in Halalifax takes some beating for 'grim'.

My local VAT office was there and I delivered a VAT return by hand once to get it there on time.

Definitely didn't like the place and made a mental note to get myself organised and send future returns by post.

Got my Caudwell campaign badge, still bear the mental scars but does make me appreciate virtually anywhere else and I laugh to hear some of the perms moaning about conditions in some places, totally clueless.

So true! Everywhere I go (including this place) whenever I start to feel down, I just remember that grim place in Crewe and suddenly start to feel a bit better. The amount of moaning that took place in Radbroke really did make me laugh. Those guys really don't know what a bad place to work really is.....

Bit like turning down roles that only offer an extra 85 quid a day, no!?

LOL! Says the guy who turns down an extra 85 quid a day then spends the rest of his time on here boring us all to death with tales about dreadful places and how Radbroke is the bees knees. Kinell.
