http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/category20.asp A Selection of the latest gripes in the category of Jobs and Industry from The Weekly Gripe UK Webz ©2006 http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/rss.jpg http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/category20.asp I work with two tooters that spend most of the day reminding me and anyone who will listen about their special abilities. It's a virtual symphony of bragging where I work. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a549.asp I have been a nurse for the past 16 years and I am sick and tired of these nurses who are university trained and think they are immune from certain duties such as changing beds and washing/dressing patients etc. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a544.asp My main gripe is knowing, soon after you have sat down to be interviewed, that the job you have yearned for for so long is probably going to an internal candidate and there's nothing you can do about it. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a543.asp What a great idea the Conservatives have come up with. Send all those long term benefit scroungers out to work and cut their benefits back if they refuse to take a job. It's about time someone took a stand! http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a536.asp I work in recruitment and have done for about two years. I started at the bottom and worked my way up. I was a yes sir man until the start of this year when I started working for a huge recruitment company. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a489.asp Everyone who gripes about the metric system has contributed to the loss of all UK motor and engineering factories, which continued manufacturing their products designed in inches after 1975. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a486.asp Well company meetings are all a waste of time in my opinion. The scenario is always the same. There you are happily working away, making progress and perhaps earning money when suddenly THAT email drops into your inbox. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a440.asp I've worked for various companies, usually in a call centre environment and I can totally sympathise with the problems faced by staff. Poor pay and abuse from both customers and the company they work for is normal. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a427.asp My boss is a bully and has been horrible to me at every possible opportunity. She nit-picks at everything I do, she ignores me in the workplace while laughing and talking to everyone else. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a404.asp At my place of work we are required to use swipe cards for access to the buildings. However, I am fed up with lazy people who would rather follow me in than use their own cards. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a398.asp
