Simi Posted 9 August 2007 Posted 9 August 2007 I'd go for Family Emergency If you decide to go to the induction though, good luck.
Raj Posted 9 August 2007 Posted 9 August 2007 Never mind all this chit chat,i wanna know if you can get me some sandwiches free. I walk past the store on the way to The ground ,so i'll meet you outside... Cheers (Cheese,salad will do,im one of them veggie people!!!)
Bluefoxtim Posted 9 August 2007 Author Posted 9 August 2007 I rang them up and got through to customer services and was very polite and asked how long the induction would go on for and she put me on hold as she found out from the 'office'. She came back and said about 4 hours. I then said yeah I was wondering because I have a ticket for the football match and she totally changed her tune "I think your job is more important than a football match!", "yeah I know (balls is it!), but I bought them weeks ago", *sigh* "ok, bye". Bitch. Anyway, if it IS 4 hours I'll be done by 2.30 at the latest meaning will have no problem being at the game Whether that 4 hour induction doesn't count the hours they may expect you to work on the tills straight after I don't know? May only include the videos, talks etc...

Bluefoxtim Posted 9 August 2007 Author Posted 9 August 2007 Now you've mentioned football, watch the induction time suddenly increase. She was a nobody at customer services. I didn't give my name thankfully

Exactly what I thought, better hope the person showing you round understands your situation tell her **** off the slag and get a job at Asda instead And as you walk out, slap your back pocket
Bluefoxtim Posted 9 August 2007 Author Posted 9 August 2007 And as you walk out, slap your back pocket No doubt I'll be there until at least 4pm despite what she said.
lookwhaticando Posted 9 August 2007 Posted 9 August 2007 I suppose, at the end of the day, it depends on priorities. Priorities spells organization. I somehow doubt there's much organization in these parts... especially during the summer holidays.

Dr The Singh Posted 9 August 2007 Posted 9 August 2007 You can try and see of you can leave your induction abit early, no harm in asking or trying!!! Make some lame excuse that your having your poiles removed or something!!!
Milky Posted 9 August 2007 Posted 9 August 2007 Why not just phone in ill. I'm sure they'd just arrange it for another day.

Daggers Posted 9 August 2007 Posted 9 August 2007 (Cheese,salad will do,im one of them veggie people!!!) You can't trust veggies. ...anyone that doesn't enjoy the slaughter of animals and the taste of blood blending with gravy is weird in my book. Weird.

Bluefoxtim Posted 9 August 2007 Author Posted 9 August 2007 If you can't make it gimme a pm, ill have your ticket off you. For £100 you can have it now?
General Smuts Posted 9 August 2007 Posted 9 August 2007 The season ticket ... okay then sold! Where will i be sitting?
Kent Fox Posted 9 August 2007 Posted 9 August 2007 As a manager I try and avoid inductions on a Saturday for a start, unless it's for a Saturday job only, of course.. If you have already told the interviewer you have a season ticket and he has hired you knowing that, you should complain to that person. Explain it when you get there and if it looks bad, ask to speak to the interviewer. If that's the manager, remind him of your ticket. If he's funny, a left hook and a smack to the nose usually works Then write to his boss..

Bluefoxtim Posted 9 August 2007 Author Posted 9 August 2007 I just wrote a massive paragraph and pressed the backspace key on my keyboard and the webpage went back one. Oh well I'm not re-writing it all!
