eh?
oh what he did was sackable 10x over...tons of other stuff physically assaulted by store manager..him deleting that footage..including the area managers that they do indeed discriminate against people with disabilities. Constant threats, him ripping off customers sabotaging their items to rip them off even more..
thankfully now managers like that and the British companies are now paying my benefits and tbh not much worse off financially plus no stress, not working 5-7 days a week .
You sound a bit bitter tbh. Not everyone has the same experiences of work as you do, thankfully.
I gave my mum £20 a week when I was earning £200. It was a bit of a shock when I moved out and got a place...

I've noticed over the years breaks have gone down, pretty sure we had 45 minute dinner , with 30 minute break in the morning 15 minute break in the afternoon, and speaking to new people in retail they get something like 30 minute unpaid break for a whole days shift. Not only that but the in house restaurant has closed so no more "cost price" food when I was doing that job, ie £1.20 for a double english breakfast.
plus double time on sunday and bank holidays- and now they get standard rate.No but I'm looking at buying a OLED monitor next

From what I heard the idea of short dinner breaks is to stop the workers leaving the work placeI've noticed over the years breaks have gone down, pretty sure we had 45 minute dinner , with 30 minute break in the morning 15 minute break in the afternoon, and speaking to new people in retail they get something like 30 minute unpaid break for a whole days shift.

Most of you will be out of a job soon anyway, unless you want to retrain as a ditch digger or something...

yup "return to the desk" or "don't leave premises" type mentality.
I don't know how people that are doing physically demanding jobs cope with short dinner breaks and no food suppliers, they must be drained throughout the day.
When the on site restaurant existed I used to have double english breakfast & dinner with dessert and was productive I could work through 30 palettes in my shift including opening the departments, reworking old stock, facing up, and closing down plus deliveries and waste removal. Now the kids drink monster drinks to get through their shift wolfing down snacks in 30 minutes and going back ..feels more like the Victorian work houses. Also with the canteen before you had a few people there so could chat to colleagues, now it's like isolation where one person goes on their break and they're alone with their pot noodle and monster drink... then they trudge back
This stuff has been coming for a long time. If people haven't thought about their current situation and come up with a plan B, then I'm going to struggle to find any sympathy.

Bad parenting.
My daughter started working at 17 at one of the local McDonald's after she got her driving test. She always asking for extra shifts but cannot work full time due to college commitments. Her boss isn't very accommodating yet she still manages to get two shifts a week.
The car was a present from us to her but she gives us a portion of her wages a week to pay for her insurance and tax.
She is definitely a lot better than I was at her age but she can still do silly things but because I did it I try not to judge.
Her boyfriend was a complete wet wipe on the other hand. Thank god they broke up last week.

I really enjoyed work, I would not have lived but for work. In my twenties I worked up to sixty hours a week. Latterly about 35. Never highly paid but worked it up to £50k+ before retirement.
The best part is that i can drive around the country being boring about bridges, roads and buildings saying that I was involved in that project or that structure and feel some pride in achievement.

At least you can see what you did, the factory where I used to work 60+ hours a week (and a lot of the local village worked in, it was the biggest and best paid employer in the area) is now a housing estate. It was literally one of those places where someone could go to work at 16, raise a family and buy a house on one wage, and get a decent DB pension at the end of their working life decades later. All gone now.Young people that would have got a job there are now scrabbling around trying to get a job at Mcdonalds if they are even bothering at all.
