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 feel like my boss is bullying me, not all the time but probably 70% of the time. He's an elderly man in his 60s and is very set in his ways. He's not used to all the modern technology and quite frankly I don't think he really understands it. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a1031.asp Here we go again, more strikes from public sector employees. This of course will force lots of private sector workers to be away from work too, the end result being a loss of a days wage for some. How selfish is this? http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a1019.asp Does anyone know what a 'Bob' is? It's seems I'm surrounded by them everywhere I go in particular in the workplace. Bob is the nickname I've decided to give someone who only does half a job, doesn't complete a job... http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a1016.asp I am working for a female friend and have been doing so for six months. Just to help her with her financial problems in the company. The problem is she often argues with me, shouts at me and undermines me in front of junior people. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a1012.asp Pointless emails from recruitment agencies are the latest spam that will hit your inbox if you decide to go looking for a job, well, that's my experience anyway! They just do a search on keywords and they don't always get that right. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a1001.asp My gripe is that like many people leaving the Armed Forces, our key skills and experiences are totally not valued or worthy of recruiters these days. As previous comments on this site indicated, all they care about are their KPIs! http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a992.asp My gripe is lazy co-workers. Apparently some people at work are quite happy to skive off at every opportunity and do as little work as possible, looking busy only when the boss appears leaving you to take up all the slack. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a988.asp It is incredible to see companies still offshoring their outsourced services to places such as Bangalore, Chennai and Cairo whilst the UK is suffering from a declining economy, high unemployment and a lack of jobs. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a976.asp I now teach young people and a lot of them simply don't want to work. They say they come to college just for EMA. These complete dossers get their money and just spend it on booze and cigarettes at the weekend. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a975.asp Your first position as a manager is probably the scariest job you have ever been in, but there are some simple rules to follow and you will always be fine. However, here are some of the things a manager shouldn't do. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a972.asp
