Went to a different company ( BT) and it was brutal. Ended up back at same company I first started at. Difference being this time I can go in and do my job and not think to much about it. Bigger picture is I'm glad I went to BT for the experience and basically to see my work wasnt all that bad.

The number of employment claims the company would be facing would ruin it. Not been in a dispute situation , then you see true colours , don’t ever kid yourself you are any more than a replaceable number , they don’t care if it’s you or some other roaster doing the job HR is a primary function of the business to protect the business , it’s fine when what you want and what they want coincide all nicely nicely , when at cross purposes it’s all about protecting the company 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theroadlesstravelled Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 For me getting promoted to higher positions is fucking shite. The ratio of sociopaths to good guys increase rapidly as you move up. The stress and hours aren't worth it the extra money. Personally I'd rather work in Starbucks that do what I do now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 We've got a ban on overtime, which Is a c**t. Head office are pushing us to get more orders out the door, but won't let us work late or start early to get things done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 @D.A.F.C - was it yourself who had the horror stories about bullying culture at Asda? I remember it because I briefly worked with a guy who talked constantly about his horrible experiences with them, and it occurred to me at the time that it might actually be you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I left my work after 14 years at same company. Got rid of team leaders so thought f**k this I'm outta here. Went to a different company ( BT) and it was brutal. Ended up back at same company I first started at. Difference being this time I can go in and do my job and not think to much about it. Bigger picture is I'm glad I went to BT for the experience and basically to see my work wasnt all that bad. Still surrounded by idiots It was the opposite experience for me (thankfully). I knew my last company was run by morons while I was there, leaving only highlighted it. Since leaving, all the staff I worked with are gone (not too big a deal but given there was no turnover the previous 7 years, it says a lot about how bad it got), the manager has been sacked for going in to work drunk on more than one occasion (while off duty, I may add) and the MD is in prison for embezzling over £100K [emoji38] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Fear this has become a bit of a pile on on D.A.F.C. Can we maybe lay off him a bit. Reading between the lines a bit here, I think his issue is that he's just really apprehensive about leaving. Not a criticism and something many of us will have experienced. It can be daunting to make such a big change. It sounds like he's had a lot of confidence in this area beaten out of him and that can really make you doubt yourself and make you think that a lot of job applications aren't for you, and that you'll wait for the next one because it will suit you more and so on until it's 3 years later and you're in the exact same place. There's no easy solution to that. You just have to do it or get busy wasting your life.Think theres more of a "tough love" vibe to it tbh. I have said my piece to him in maybe a forceful way before but theres no denying that it's a bit frustrating (from a position of wanting to help) to see him posting the same thing time after time. I know that sounds a bit condescending but its said from a place of genuinely hoping he takes the advice offered here and gets to a better place work wise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the company opens its books and accepts higher volume of orders, it needs to also either take people on to cope with demand or allow extra work (overtime) to be done. People need to stop knocking their pan in to the detriment of their health just so their slave drivers satisfy the order book. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
