ASSHOLE Companies

[J0Al1]

I know we should all be grateful for anything we have got (work wise), but where do these big companies get off in treating their staff so unfairly.


Internal job promotion...

1) Salery offered at interview was reduced by £500 p/a because they can only rise by 5% on internal transfers (informed a week or so after starting).

2) Location of work, altered to a site twice the distance at the last min having been shoved about three sites for 2 weeks whilst they decided. Extra costs in fuel that can be ill afforded.

3) Expected two Sat AM's a month in exchange for two week days off a month, but at this particular site you do three Sat AM's a months for two week days off a month!

4) A sprise staying late every Thursday for two hours (thats an extr 8 hrs a month .. . . bang goes that minute 1k gross paye rise).

5) External new employee in exact same role with zero experiance compared to 3 years experiance on a larger salery.

Joke and a fucking half... feel like throwing a stone through LLoyds banks at the moment.

Is this just a put up shut up, get whatever finance quals they offer and fuck of asap?

Can anything be put in writing to HR?

Grrrr

1 - Calm down. This kind of thinking will get you in debt!

2 - get your CV in order and get it out there. You don't have to put up with this, it's a choice to work for them, but by the look of it your employer doesn't treat their staff very well so putting anything in writing to HR will only make you mad that they don't care.

3 - start networking. Get to know people with nice sounding jobs and see if you can get the route in. If I was asked 'get me a job there' I'd say no. But if I liked the person, I'd tell them the name of the relevant department manager and HR manager...

It's not me.

But your right, complaining and getting ignored would make it worse.

No contract 6 weeks in so nothing in writing.

Already applied for jobs and got two possible interviews already... Frew grand more.

But leaving would mean missing out on the certainy of a qualification that might not be gained elsewhere.


Company I work for does the same ref saleries.. newbies with no experiance doing lesser jobs on bigger wages.

In my experience, HR exists as a platform for you to make them aware that you are a trouble maker, and they can begin proceedings to "manage you out of the company" as I've heard it put several times.

Speak your mind with your feet, as in walking away to a better job/workplace as soon as an opportunity presents itself.

This government and previous governments over the last thirty years have systematically eroded the rights and benefits that all our ancestors fought for. That is of course unless your ancestors happen to be the owners of big business interests, former pupils of eton or just a plain old lord, born into power or gifted it by the other said arseholes above. Unfortunately the capitalist society we all find ourselves in is only destined to failure, it's success depends wholly on constant economic growth. hahaha. Which we all know comes at the expense of the slaves/people (you and me). This is why we are earning less, working more, and just to add insult to injury the price of the commodities we all NEED to live (food energy etc) keeps getting jacked up and up. Energy companies profit every year without fail, then cream off the profits to the shareholders, no savings passed on to us. REDISTRIBUTE THE WEALTH. Peace and love. Need to vent that.

Don't wanna sound mean here, but quit your bitching, i bet 100% you are earning more than 90% of people on this forum, banking is relatively well paid is it not.

Still sucks though.

Can't you just say you have changed your mind, the conditions imposed no longer make the move/change worth while to you.

So what are we saying here? That Lloyds Bank is a scumbag company that either couldn't organize a piss-up in a brewery or has bent/corrupt staff on board giving out preferential treatment in return for back-handers and/or sexual favours?

Quelle suprise. As with all banks it's staffed at the higher levels by sub-human vermin. Donchano.

Ee, I do believe that's my first "vermin" of the year!

Get what you need out of them (qualification) and then move on.

Ive had worse. Small businesses are no different. If they think they can get away with it, they will try. Sadly, I let them. I suspect your job is quite a good once to begin with and not a minimum wage thing like I had last.

Are you otherwise happy with the job and the people you work with? if so I say keep it for a while. that is unless you can get jobs easy. For me it takes a lot of effort.

otherwise, have some fun before giving in your notice
