tiffy Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 This is the very place to find out what the rules and laws concerning our day to day attempts to live a peaceful life. I love this site for the valuable or informative links that others share and before long you're up on quite a few things. As for jobsworths - apart from Liberata I can live with most of the 'problems' life throws at me. One of my brothers though is having a tough time of things. He's recently forked out £80 for a medical in his attempts to return to long-distance lorry driving and is getting messed about something chronic. Strict eye tests - fair enough as that's a safety issue but when driving documents aren't returned and seem to go missing then you wonder if Liberata are in on that too!!!!!!!!!!! Why don't SF get the traffic wardens interviewed on here or someone to explain our rights as workers etc. Now wouldn't that be an opportunity?????????

Exactly, I had signed a contract that said I needed to give 6 weeks notice if I intended to leave. I had been there less than a year so explained that the contract was irrelevant. In the end they were very happy I offered to work a weeks notice instead of walking out there and then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Jobsworths?! Jobsworths you say?! Look no further than the muppets who work in the job centre in Hillsborough Barracks.... They're so stoopid they're lucky to have got their own jobs let alone have the ability to find work for other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't these the people who don't bat an eyelid at sending some poor sap off to a toilet cleaning job at £4 an hour then have the nerve to threaten industrial action to better their own cosy jobs. My dream. Everyone gets a job, no more job centres. Job centre staff have to come to us for employment. Now wouldn't that be fun.
