Hitesh Posted 10 August 2005 Posted 10 August 2005 I would like to vote both of them. Not that it would make a difference that way. But i like one of my jobs and i dont like the the other one, but the moneys good and i dont do many hours so thats why im still there if anyones wondering!

Darth Fox Posted 10 August 2005 Author Posted 10 August 2005 Is your workplace like that then? Do u work for TNT to?
Guest Posted 10 August 2005 Posted 10 August 2005 Is your workplace like that then? Do u work for TNT to? 154072[/snapback] No. There's more than one place like this then?
Darth Fox Posted 10 August 2005 Author Posted 10 August 2005 Guess so. Everyone is miserable at TNT, management have high wages, worker bees don't. The average wage at TNT to an outsider looks great but thats due to massive gap between management and everyday staff. They are listed as one of the top employers in Britain and it is one big lie.
Guest Posted 10 August 2005 Posted 10 August 2005 I would love to get started, but I think one or two colleagues browse this forum, and I wouldn't like to leave incriminatory evidence!!
rossporterlc Posted 10 August 2005 Posted 10 August 2005 mine is ok, only in summer anyway, i would prefer to be sitting on my arse at home though
Janx Posted 10 August 2005 Posted 10 August 2005 I would like to comment on the Job Industry as I feel I am qualified to do so... We are currently experiencing the HIGHEST level of EMPLOYMENT in history (pretty much) THerefore.. the only reason you are "stuck in a job" is because you are only qualified to do a certain job for the money that you currently "require" i.e If you currently earn 15K a year for your job that you hate, but you are only qualified to that then you will feel stuck because your outgoings have reached "critical" levels. Think about restructuring your outgoings and seeing how much you can live on and try to either re-train, try a different job etc. This only really should apply to people a fair way down their career ladder. for example if you are earning 30K as a Sales Manager, it is unlikely that you could jack that job and become a Warehouse Manager on 20K if you are up to the hilt in debt. Trust me, if you think that ALL the jobs that you see in papers or Recruitment Consultancies (note I did not say AGENCY) are all applied to by 50 people who are ideally qualified.... you are WRONG! We have a MASSIVE SKILL SHORTAGE in this country at ALL LEVELS of employment, hence Mr Blairs attempts to bring in Labour from other countries as a mere example. Trust me. I know this to be the case.
Hitesh Posted 10 August 2005 Posted 10 August 2005 mine is ok, only in summer anyway, i would prefer to be sitting on my arse at home though 154212[/snapback] true! I loved it when i was on holiday coz i kept reminding myself that i was getting paid to sit in the sun by the pool!
King Kyle lcfc Posted 10 August 2005 Posted 10 August 2005 anyone who said they hate there job i would happily swap with them after being unemployed for just over a week after bein given the boot. All the jobs i've had interviews for are crap suppose i'm abit too picky
stez Posted 10 August 2005 Posted 10 August 2005 anyone who said they hate there job i would happily swap with them after being unemployed for just over a week after bein given the boot. All the jobs i've had interviews for are crap suppose i'm abit too picky 154300[/snapback] you have got to be careful you take the right job. i was unemployed for 3 months back in the olden days and i hated it, but luckily (as is usually the case in my trade) i knew someone who was looking for someone so i helped him out while looking for a decent job. so i reckon if things don't pick up for you soon (a week's not that long) you might want to take a job you don't really want because as lisa said when you told us about your bastardly former employers; its easier to get another job while your in a job, also it saves having long empty spaces on your cv that perspective employers will, no doubt, ask about anyway back to the thread! i like my job (today)
kerryh Posted 10 August 2005 Posted 10 August 2005 I like my job, yes I get peed off with the boss sometimes, and somedays I could kill my clients but on the whole I have a great job.
Muz Posted 10 August 2005 Posted 10 August 2005 I start my first job on Monday * Gulp * Its just working at a Distribution center 8-4 Monday to Friday and its £3.00 an hour. Its not brilliant money but its just something to get me some dosh for the new Leicester shirts and away tickets! My first 3 weeks of wages are being stored away because thats next season's Season Ticket money
Phil Posted 10 August 2005 Posted 10 August 2005 hate it, boss is a grade A T**t he's so 2 faced its unbelievable one week the sun shines out your rear the next week when somethings gone wrong and he needs someone to blame your up in his office getting an ear full. luckily I have been given a random employee survey about the store along with a couple of other employees and were going to s**t all over the store and management .
Thracian Posted 10 August 2005 Posted 10 August 2005 What I suggest is to start by putting down what you want from life in terms of work and leisure etc. Then work out ways to achieve what you want.
Rincewind Posted 10 August 2005 Posted 10 August 2005 I like my job. It deals with people and helps them at the same time. Also it gives me a chance to show the public how charming I am. Hopefully by tommorow evening (Thursday) I will know if I have passed the exam that gives me the qualification that I need.
Anish Posted 10 August 2005 Posted 10 August 2005 This poll only sees work in black and white. I think my job is ok, but it gets tedious after you've done it for a while and know most of it inside out - like I do. I need a new challenge, not doing the same thing day in day out, and luckily I will be getting that soon. I finish work at the end of the month, can't wait
Shum Posted 10 August 2005 Posted 10 August 2005 There should be another option. I go to work as I have to.
Janx Posted 11 August 2005 Posted 11 August 2005 There should be another option.I go to work as I have to. 154518[/snapback] I know very few who don't mate, so you might as well choose carefully because its gonna be the same for about 40 years!
Thracian Posted 11 August 2005 Posted 11 August 2005 There should be another option.I go to work as I have to. 154518[/snapback] My brother-in-law shocked us all one day when, aged 17, he just dropped everything and went to live in a cave, yes a cave, in the Canary Islands as a hippie. Didn't see him for several years when he suddenly turned up at our house looking like Jesus Christ personified with long red hair and sandals on his feet, riding a bike and carrying his young son Myatt in a back harness. Myatt as far as I could see, lived on fruit and nuts but bright... aged two he could communicate in three or four languages and seemed like the wisest youngsters I had ever met. My BIL Dave would not sleep on a bed but instead lay flat on the floor when he slept. He earned a meagre living within his community for a while, only returning to the UK when particularly short of funds, where he would win money in chess tournaments (cos he was a truly outstanding player). Anyway, his lifestyle took him onto a Kibbutz in Israel, to a group dwelling in Lanzarote then on to South Africa and eventually around most of the globe. He had various children by various women and thus far all have grown up perfectly well adjusted (one, after a University education is an exhibition artist in New Zealand). The above, of course, was one man's dream. I spent a period of time travelling, earning every penny of the costs by fruit picking on the way. There are loads of other ways to combine work/travel if you search for them and if that is what you fancy. Others might wish to make a mark, learn a skill to the "nth" degree. The thing is to move what stands in your way and focus single mindedly on what you want to achieve and become. Our 9-5 mortgage paying life is only one way of going on. There are others. If you are prepared to take the risks and the hardships and if you want the alternative enough. Kids at school? Well lots of people I know choose to follow the "Education Otherwise" scheme where they abandon the National Curriculum and often dogmatic classroom instruction and teach their offspring (perfectly legally) themselves, at home. As I said, there are alternatives.
