Are you still having your toliet breaks monitored?

Monitored no, we flat out don't get any. We're constantly reminded that we are not entitled to any personal time whatsoever and we are not permitted to leave the call centre floor unless it's an emergency, and even then only with permission from a manager. I don't pay any attention to it though, when I need a piss I go for a piss, because let's try and see how quickly I win a tribunal when they fire me for going for a piss.

I thought H&S laws were put in place to allow everyone a break every hour where you are meant to leave your work station, for the sake of circulation and preventing repetitive strain injuries?

A few words/phrases I'm seeing a lot right now...

Melt - as in 'he's a melt'. It seems to be a LADZ11LOL term and it's just plain annoying. I blame Joey Barton.

Sexy Time - It wasn't funny when Borat said it and it's not funny 5 years later. On a similar note, adding 'times' to the end of words is fucking annoying too. see: good times, bad times, scary times, fun times, etc

That sounds awful, unless it's refering to the guy that crashed his van into toxic waste in RoboCop. If so, go ahead, lads!

Then...wait. When someone's searching for suitable candidates for a vacancy your name will pop up if your relevant experience/skills matches their search. Also a good idea to join general discussion groups about your industry/area of expertise (I have joined but never contribute), and there are job boards too I think if you are actively looking for something.

Sounds like something I might sign up for. I assume that you would have to have a niche or specialism to get the most out of it, though?

I've never heard Melt before, but I do dislike the whole times thing.

I also dislike British people calling Police "the feds". No. They're not "feds". Dick.

Depends, I guess. I suppose yes, you're unlikely to encounter a recruiter looking for a 'jack of all', they'll likely search current/historic job titles and relevant keywords in your skills section.
