It has now been five weeks since I was deprived of the notice I was entitled to in addition to being put out of work by a bunch of guys I wouldn’t have hired in the first place, and whom I would not allow near staff since they obviously don’t know anything about management.
Today I was rejected for a data entry job that I know a nineteen year old with very little experience is working on.
This failed to amuse, strangely enough, and I am now working on my other project whilst wondering why I have to listen to people who weren’t born when I started working telling me that I am suddenly incapable of doing very simple jobs.
I had two interviews yesterday, I have another one tomorrow, and another one next week, despite the best efforts of most of the people I am encountering.
I do wonder about some places. Two of the worst paying jobs I applied for also have rotating shift patterns to ensure that you cannot work a second job whilst doing it. Does it not occur to people that there is no good reason for taking a bad job? Do they believe that underpaying people also gives them a license to take their time from them without any sense of how they are going to manage?
I had a boss with a cocaine problem years ago. He tried to impose mandatory shifts on dishwashers. You can imagine how that turned out.
In the meantime, I have other work to do, so that I never have to deal with this problem again.
This is all extremely tiresome, and if anybody imagines that I will ever forgive them for this, they are sadly mistaken. Their bad decisions are not my business and I should not be having to pay for them.
I saw an advert for someone to run a building site for a tenner an hour today. Yeah, because we need unlimited competition for wages like a hole in the head.
