Title: I don't want to go to work today ;/
Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, January 4, 2005, 07:16:12
I handed in my notice yesterday but have to finish the week, I'm even less motivated than I was beforehand. This is the most pointless thing ever.

safe as fuck, I've got today off anyway and they've given me tomorrow off as paid holiday which I wasn't allowed to take before Christmas. This means I only have to go in and piss about on Friday :D

I'm going to look for another job in a pharmacy straight away, I just flat out refuse to work where I am now.

May I inquire about why this is?

I don't wanna go to work either, but I need the damn money.  I can't help thinking "for a six hour shift I'll get about 30 quid, yet going to the Colchester game cost 40".  It's just a depressing thought.  I can't really complain, I only do 6 hours a week plus the occassional overtime, though I do get treated like sh*t sometimes.  Next are quite good employers, but I am cheesed off because I went into to do overtime on the 23rd only to get sent home 90 minutes in.  I felt like it was a wasted day.

Didn't I admit it when I posted about the Hunchback of Tesco Abingdon? :)

It's a culmination of lots of different things, most of which add up to the fact Tesco are awful to work for. I will have worked their for four months by the time I leave and in that time, I've never seen a contract, receieved no uniform, not had a locker, the store manager has spoken to me once - which was yesterday - and I've had numerous disciplinary procedures brought upon me due to my health issues, despite of the fact they were fully aware of them when I was given the job. I just hate the atmosphere there, I love my job though and I intend to make a career in pharmaceuticals somewhere but as Pharmacy workers in Tesco, other staff treat you with utter disdain because you get paid more than them, the managers aren't interested in you unless they need something and they're discourteous and impolite. For an 18 year old lad such as myself, working in a store full of middle aged women just isn't right. I don't want to work for a huge company like that either.

So I quit. And I'm quite happy about it. I'll miss a few of the people I work with but to be honest I don't really care about them so it doesn't matter much. It's a shame because the hours were perfect and I'll probably have to work Saturday's wherever I go next.

ha ha, sorry didn't read that!!

You mean Andy the B.O Oxford fan ha ha I used to work there I hated it.  Don't blame you for leaving.  Is Andy Mulqueen still there?  He is a penis. he reminds me of Derek from Most Haunted  :soapy tit wank:

They do treat you like shit there, I was there nearly 5 years, when they bought in that stupid sick thing.  I got a warning for getting glandular fever, when I wasn't allowed a jacket to work out in the cold.  Wankers, tossers, feckers  :evil:

He absolutely fucking reeks. I've left the staff room during a break because I was choking before and he wasn't sat near me.

Dunno many people there, was Jamie there when you worked there?

Does Dappy Trevor still work there? and head shakey Dawn?

Post by: sonicyouth on Wednesday, January 5, 2005, 14:43:01
Trevor works in produce I think, talks really loudly all the time? Not sure who Dawn is.

Jamie works on dairy, think he's special needs. He's really nice and says hello to everyone all the time :D

Yep that sounds like Trevor.  Dawn worked in the staff canteen moves her head from side to side so she can see.  might not work there anymore.  Dunno jamie though.

I don't think so, she used to talk to herself quite a bit though.  I think she has glaucoma and is a bit mental.  She was funny, we could nick stuff right under her nose when she moved her head the other way. evil but funny!
