Poodler Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 You'll never compete with my sick record at Edinburgh Council. Full year off. Monthly KIT (Keeping in touch) meetings. Staged return for 6 months then another 6 months off. They basically begged me to take redundancy (then fucked me over, that's another story) Victimless crime Link to comment

Fridge Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Lassie I worked with played a fucking blinder with this. Managed to escape two lay offs due to being off with stress when they managed to get rid of lassies on maternity leave. Crazy wages also. She is a fucking idiot too but fair playfor shafting the system. Link to comment

1903Fitba Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Did an apprenticeship, packed it in after a year Went to Uni, kicked out after 8 months 6 years with my current place of work. Doing alright. half tempted to jump on the open university style course to gain a trade (tech based) but prices are ridiculous. Convinced I’m gonna get a dragons den style idea and hit the big time anyway. Link to comment
Fridge Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Sales again was it?Finance. How the fuck she survived is beyond belief. I never ever even bothered checking but I reckon due to her grade she is on at least 85k and final salarly pension. Take over soon so surely there will be a way to get her to fuck. How many youngsters would scream for a chance at quarter of that and actually put in a shift. Link to comment
For Fecks Sake Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Left school at 15 with a handful of qualifications, nae idea what I wanted to do with myself career wise. Fell into a job by chance in Oil and Gas that started out as a 2 week contract for emptying and cleaning shipping containers and never looked back. Now head bummer for a department in an oil and gas company but in all honesty, still nae idea what I want to do with myself! Link to comment

Poodler Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I quickly realised when I got to about 17 that I didn't really like people very much, but they liked me, which was great. But I certainly didn't wanna study, with other mouth breathing people around me - lol. To counter or hide my misanthropy I started working in Care & Education. To give back. Fuck all money in it, but it's my calling. Still doing that. I love it. Gonna spend New Years at one of my private students houses with her family. She's been with me for 5 years. I must be a no bad bastard. I've actually just completed an online teaching qualification. If they had these online things when I was Emo McGee at 17 shit woulda been smoother. If you wanna do something/anything you can. You are your only barrier. Your mind - It's your biggest ally or your worst enemy. I am human and I need to be loved. You say it's all in the mind but with my physique and poor technical skills, I'd be raped on a drill floor. Good for nothin else but being raped for two weeks. Gotta play to your strengths. Hunk? Work around women. Poom poom Link to comment

Should have came up to Aberdeen and raped the North Sea. Skills required zero. Every single company I have worked for have about 5 people who are fucking shit hot and way beyond my comprehension what they are talking about. Rest of the folk are just ripping the piss. You get £27k as a student placement ffs. My first job I was on £5 am hour. Link to comment

The Boofon Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Started as Mechanical technician as an apprentice. Company let us go after completing so studied BSC in Mech Eng. Couldn’t get work related to it so fucked off offshore for 6 months as a shove in. Been rotational ever since apart from a year in Aberdeen doing a Monday - Friday job. Still comes in handy when folk think you’re a safety man that knows fuck all and you can bamboozle them with technical stuff. Doing my PMP just now just to keep the mind active and add another string to the bow. Link to comment

muttonhumper Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Did a load of work under floors over the years . Nothing like that moment when you think you are stuck or your torch goes out As sparkie apprentice, was undef floor one day with vulcanised rubber lead that the lampholders attached wherever you wanted to by sharp pins poking through that would then tap into the L&N to power the licht.Unfortunately after a while, the lead then gets peppered with holes where the lampholders had previously been.The lead was lying on top of some metal bar under the floor, I put my palm on the bar and got a fucking jolter of a shock.Had many electric shocks, but that one was way off the scale.Gripped onto the bar involuntarily, my head flew up the way blootering myself aff o' a jeest.Bust mi heed, and my arm was in pain for weeks. Cunting.Onyhoo...Got fed up o sparkying fan aboot 30, went o RGU for BEng night classes.Been working O&G Electrical Engineering, ever since.Got fed up with shitty Britain bout 2.5 years ago (also refused to partake in this zero hours shit the likes of Wood started with contractors), now pick up my work in Caspian or Middle East, having moved to Cyprus.

Clydeside_Sheep Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 We are currently looking to recruit another engineer and I've just opened an application/CV from someone who (I kid you not) studied sociology (for a year), worked for the social (2 years), worked in a call centre (6months) and is now doing support work. No mention on how he would be remotely suitable for the job advertised. I'm not sure if its a piss take, an error, if the boys a neep or if you can potentially get any job you fancy these days. Ach it sounds like someone trying hard to get work. Maybe he has good transferable skills? Link to comment
