We were forced to take today off as not a lot of our customers would be in for our waste collections. It come out of our annual leave, so now down to 22 days. The same happened last year (can’t remember what date for, but this time of year) and management said results from a staff survey said staff were happy for it to happen again. Yeah, the office staff who get 5 more days to use than us said they were happy with it.
There’s is zero chance the majority of people surveyed said they’d prefer less annual leave 🤣

Fucks me right off when the office is closed but they take a days annual leave anyway.

The On The Beach tv advert drives me up the fucking wall. The fat family are off on their holidays and claim to have 'free' airport lounge access. It's the arrogant smirk on all their faces but particularly on the chubby boys chops that does my head in. Greedy fat little shit....
Advert totally puts me off using the company
It isn't helped by having the Grim Reaper of TV shows and professional Lancastrian Paddy McGuinness doing the voiceover!

If i'd paid for a business class ticket i'd be f*cking LIVID if this lot turned up in the lounge while i was trying to relax or do some work!

The last time I was sat in an airport lounge, I had a man opposite me on an incredibly loud Teams call. He was bellowing MELANIE HAS NO RIGHT TO TELL ME WHAT IS OR ISN'T BULLSHIT, and honestly I'd much rather deal with a family having a good time

Delayed one from the 1st, 2 of the whitest wannabe roadmen with attitude for getting collared for no ticket on train to London.

Bad man ting accent the lot and zero fucks given when giving a blatant false address and name.

Hope the Tramsport Police got them in a cell for a while but imagine it's here's your fine and pay within 30 days etc 😴😴😴

That Steve Bracknall football manager parody bloke. The first couple of clips I seen were slightly amusing because anyone that has played Sunday league will have seen somebody similar at some point. But now, he just annoys the shit out of me! Its getting boring. Hes almost taken over that FarleyTV guy as the most annoying/least funny person on the Internet atm.

Decided to work from home today, on account of the bad weather.

Weather: a bit cold.
All week I've been dealing with people who have decided to work from home because of non-existent snow. I do a job that can 100% be done from home but even if there's 6ft of snow overnight we'll be expected in the office tomorrow.

You'll get some berk who calls in because there’s 1cm of snow on the ground but will be up in arms if the bin men dare not collect their bins.

I can't believe that they opened a club shop and people actually went to it?

Like you it was quite funny because of Sunday League stuff but who is going to buy the shirts etc?

Just tell your boss or get on Indeed for a Hybrid job!
I used to work permanently from home, which was probably a bit much but my office was 3-4 hours away.

Big mistake moving to permanently in the office. You don't realise how much life admin you get done in your lunch hour at home (don't get a lunch break at all in the office) and how much commuting eats into your day. Lose about 15 hours a week so your evenings and / or weekends just end up being filled with all the boring life shit you have to do before you're back in the car for the Monday morning commute.

I fucking hate this shit, you all deserve to be treated like human beings, not robots. I know it's a bastard to fight back against work culture but what would actually happen if you did take your breaks or stuck to your agreed hours?
Unions aren't perfect but collectively standing up against shite treatment like this is one thing they certainly help with.

technically yes, in reality no. They don't pay us for an hour in the middle of the day :ROFLMAO:

All that would happen is you'd have an hours more work to do at the end of the day. One guy who started here finished on time every day and got dragged into a meeting to be given a bollocking for not being a team player.
Make a point of having your lunch break and working only your hours unless they pay over time.
You will not be surprised to hear there's a policy of not paying overtime or giving TOIL as 'its already factored in'.

I've worked long enough to have worked at pretty much every type of business. The difference in how the workforce is treated at SMEs compared to larger companies is very noticeable. Not a coincidence that those companies don't tend to have union representation.

Yeah get a new job then.
Get there on the dot, have your lunch break, leave on the dot.

Sounds like a horrible and genuinely hostile place to work and I hope you find a way out soon. Can't stand this kind of horseshit

What happened to eBay? Nobody is buying anymore. Is everyone buying off temu and shein?

Also, when did the definition of 'new' change? If an item has been removed out of its original packaging, used once or twice, you can't really say it's brand new anymore. When it clearly has usage marks on it, you definitely cannot describe it as new.
