What's your job?

for those not in the uk sainsburys is more up market than walmart

i love sainsburys but we dont have one round here, there building an asda round the corner from me, might apply there

 

wanted to work in M&S in town but too many eyes and ears in town, plus the transport can play up sometimes getting to town, a job closer to home is better suited to me where no one knows me lol

 

I'm a mama and a waitress...love them both.

 

No, you aren't the only one, and I'm in class with the instructors from HELL. How can something so easy (Take a photo) take forever. I am a confrontation learning. I'm the type of person you actually have to show (beyond a doubt) the information that you are presenting.

Open ended comments remarks, personal observation. do not work well with me as far as fact. "I know a person who........." is a wasted statement to me.

 

today my job consists of shredding old employee documents...anything with personal information...i need a secretary! the only fun part is that my cat bella sits on top of the shedder and plays with the paper as it goes down the slicer...she is soooo funny...

 

Did you end up going back to the job you got laid off from?

 

i've been working for the same company since 2004...i have been laid off before but not from this job...unfortunately i am the one laying people off now and it is not fun...it breaks my heart to have to let people go that have worked really hard and do a great job...budget cuts just suck!

It's Hard to get taken seriously when you have a child with a disability and you have to tell a potential employer about them as it is quite likely you will be called away from work slightly more often.

I have a NVQ level 2 in customer service and was a Branch/Depot Manager for a plant and tool hire company.
I'm certificated in PASMA alloy access, handling exsplosives, PAT/Electrical testing, Chainsaw Handovers (something by law you have to have to hire them) plus a load of product training for site handovers and so on.

It was competitive, it was hard work but in all the years I worked for them I think I only missed my Target 3 times max!
With all the costly training under my belt I should be able to find something in that area easy, but 2 problems
1, I'm a single parent
2, one of my Children is disabled and employers descriminate:smt009
I never had a female member of staff under me so all my assistants were men I miss that!

I'm at Asda and I will be honest when I say, I don't like there working practices and the way they deal with people and to be honest working with alot of women is no fun at all.
Plus I prefer Tesco lol or Sainsbury
But hey hooo

 

i worked with special needs children ( ironic aint it ) and ive tried schools, hospitals etc and they all tell me the children in thier care require consistancy from the adults looking after them

there building a huge asda round the corner from me, im contemplating applying for them

 

Well it's a job at least, I originally applied for 20 hours and got it, but went for the induction and was told that I would have to cover other peoples Holiday and a probability I would work both days of the weekend alot, but rotas would change, (no consistency) I don't think they took in what having a child with a disability meant, anyway I said I couldn't work long term in that manner (just wanted some set hours), so I was offered 5 hours which is a bit shit.


There interview process is quite interesting, a group of 12 it was 2 teams against eachother, I quite naturally was voted team leader
We had to market a product in a way that wasn't offensive, eye catching and stayed true to the products claims.
The other team had food can't remember what, but ours was a room freshener lol

We were given just 25 minutes to finish and we had to pitch it (I pitched it!) and we won!!
it was fun but different so be prepared.

 

QFT!!!, i prefer working with men if im honest, very little of the time i get along with women, alot of the girls in places i have worked are bitchy, back stabbing and love to spread lies, infact when i was with my mum at this dentist she went to once it was all girls who were assistants etc young girls, and you could cut the atmosphere with a knife, they was all stroppy, could tell arguments were frequent there

 

Yep, know what you mean, although blokes can be nasty too, except it's more upfront, at the monthly Managers meetings I had some bloody nasty shit said to me all the time, just cause my Branch always did well and I was a bitch at making sure they didn't hog prime pieces of kit so they could get all the revenue from em. :smt106

One of the lifting gear techs who had a tude with me unplugged a charging scissor lift while It was fully extended (I was testing it, ready to go out) and I was on top of it 30ft, he was just bitter as I'd taken over the branch at Tonbridge then and he thought he was gonna get the job.

But at least they come out and tell you what the problem is, so you can go from there.

 

Now if I said this it would be woman bashing.
I'm just saying... lol

Btw awesome avi did your parents just find out you were into black guys lol

 

i dont think they will want me then. cont really do weekends or evenings due to child care issues, not many people will take madam since she has the peg tube in

back to the drawing board on the job front then

 

ive never had a prob with guys being nasty etc, have had some stalker though at work exp years ago haha, when people get nasty with me like that with me i have to tell em stuff straight, prob why some of the girls dont like me cos i dont take none of their shit haha, get these little hitlers in jobs who aint even in charge thinking they can run things and everyone

LOL why you say that, haha it wouldnt be bashing to me :wink:

 

Because as of late anything negative said about any woman or group of women is bashing whether its true or not. Just like what I just said lol

 

I hear a broken record going round in the background again:smt087

 

tbh with you i have seen plenty male bashing on here from some female members, but did i miss something where "anything negitive about women etc is bashing" i know such things pop up in some threads lol

 

What's really annoying about it is the same women who call me or any of the other men women bashers should know better. The amount of times the men praise the women on here here should be enough for them to see how much we really love them(most of them anyway). The oversensativity needs to stop. Its like if one of you said something about bm you knew or bm in general and one of us called you a racist because if you've put in enough time people should know better.
That's all I'm saying.
