Talk of being sent on training courses for a few months for work. Which I will be getting minimum wage for the initial few months. Goodbye summer holiday plans

Is this a job you're already employed in or a new one?

 

[Psycho Punk]

I was just more or less told I have to attend a lunch that I will have to pay for and replace my time away from my desk.
Oh, joy. I have to spend money and work up the hours to take to spend with work people, WTF?

Mention the words duress and bullying.

 

[pete]

Just because I am eating lunch at my desk doesn't mean I am working.
STOP TALKING TO ME.

Earphones.

For the other thing just say no.

Already in. Im unofficially employed by them and when I will be officially employed, it'll be through shitty training courses initially.
At least it's not forever.

Edit: not dissimilar to an apprenticeship

Fuck job hunting. It's more depressing than having a crank to Nil By Mouth. I'm getting closer and closer to taking a job hostage. Not sure how to do this but when I do I'll let you know.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Why don't you go job hunting together

 

[washingcattle]

Virtual job hunting together. I'll join in. I seem to be unemployable.

Fucking vermin. They mostly want unpaid interns but will have a couple of low paid jobs. Just read this:

Any of the following will be grounds for immediate dismissal during the probationary period: coming in late or leaving early without prior permission; being unavailable at night or on the weekends; failing to meet any goals; giving unsolicited advice about how to run things; taking personal phone calls during work hours; gossiping; misusing company property, including surfing the internet while at work; submission of poorly written materials; creating an atmosphere of complaint or argument; failing to respond to emails in a timely way; not showing an interest in other aspects of publishing beyond editorial; making repeated mistakes; violating company policies. DO NOT APPLY if you have a work history containing any of the above.

So work at night and weekends, 100% flexibility from you. No personal calls or surfing at work zero flexibility from the employer.
