Guest Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 They were alright about it, because I had told them about the holiday dates in my interview, induction and my first shift just to be sure (there were different managers for each). I work at Next. It's not very many hours at the moment so I'm working at Mojo too I just don't like coming across as a scatterbrain or unorganised This is a weird shitty trick they pull. Take it from a man in the know: I really hope you enjoy it and have a better experience than I/my coworkers/my friends but Next treat their employees fucking terribly.Underpaid every month, Holiday forms "forgotten" or "lost" constantly, mix ups with holiday hours,, being blocked in the store so we finished putting up shelving that we were told about waaaay too late, all typical, all happened all the time there. Fucking awful, shitty company.Completely useless, run by awful shitehawks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking awful, shitty company.Completely useless, run by awful shitehawks.I am pissed off that I was told I'd be paid for the numerous times I had to stay behind an extra 15/20 minutes and I wasn't. But now I make sure I leave on time and clock out when my shift is due to end, if I'm not paid for it I aint fucking doing it. They seem to like that I'm on top of all the jobs they give me, even if I do take a bit longer in the stock room because it's so bloody messy; I end up properly organising stuff that folk have dumped.The folk I work with are lovely, no problems yet other than the change-over of contracts fucking my holidays up.

ca_gere Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 When change or keys jangles in your pocket. And you've got nowhere else to put it so you just have to live with it. Unless you wanna walk around with 30p in your hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I try my best to never carry money. Especially if the change is jangling, beggars seem to think it is surplus to your needs. Once got hounded by some shitarse in Manchester begging for change, and he could hear mine rattling. I said I had nothing spare, and he kept yelling that I was a liar.I wasn't lying though. Yes it was change, but not spare change. My change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No? ok. want to buy some hash?"I recently saw him again, coming up the stairs near kef stopping me and asking if I wanted to buy hash. There is one guy who is a legend. An irish guy who stops and goes:"Hi, look I'm going to be honest, I'm an alcoholic and I was wondering if you could spare me and my friends some change so we can buy some cider. I don't want to lie to you".Sorry mate don't have any"Ok, well, thank you anyway for not telling me to fuck off. Have a good day". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Ah, that 'meal for the homeless' guy is still on the go? I've had him days and days in a row sometimes. If you actually tell him somewhere, he'll say it's closed, everytime without fail. Then asks if I "can spare a penny".He needs to learn to remember faces. Twat.

Twat.Yeah, he goes about in brand new footy tops too and tries to pass himself off as needy. Saying that, you know the ginger beardy guy down at the train station end of trinity centre?

It's just another tactic to take my fucking money, to fucking scrounge off someone who has a job. Fuck off. Unless Darren from Belmont Street is reading this. Darren, you're a legend!

It's just nice to have a bit of a story and politeness instead of having "chaannggeee" mumbled at you while you're doing shopping.Is Darren the guy that always wore a Ross County zip up?

Chris Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I know I've whinged about other drivers before but the cunts that sit in the wrong lane at roundabouts really do my head in.3 times this week I've been close to having an accident due to some twat sitting in the right hand lane at bridge of dee roundabout to go straight across onto South Deeside Road. The road markings say use the left hand lane. I use the left hand lane and handily it's quicker to use the left hand lane. So why the fuck are these cretins using the right hand lane then fucking honking at me when they try to turn off!? You saw me drive straight across the roundabout and I even indicated once I'd gone past the first exit, why the fuck are you acting surprised that I'm there and honking once you've tried to turn into the back of me!?
