I've been working in a new job for the psat 6 months or so and unlike my prior jobs it is very heavily office based. I just do everything possible to get out of the office, this includes site inspections, going to pick stuff up/place orders in stores or just plain hiding in the bog, using my phone to browse the net. My problem is I have a short attention span as it is, so me having a job where I'm sat in front of a computer for 8 hours a day leads to me just staring at the wall or playing solitaire far too much. |

I've not long gotten out of a 2 and a half hour long meeting. Which was such a fucking waste of time, nothing of any worth was said or done. I've not even had my lunch yeat, so i'm fucking off out to go and sit in the park or possibly a beer garden for the rest of the day. I'll head back to the office for 4.30 to clock out. |

That one CRAZY female worker. You know the one. She works in accounts or human resources, she's a bit overweight, and the first thing she says when introducing herself is "Don't mind me, I'm just a bit KER-AZY". Her CRAZINESS involves liking cute animals, and talking about how CRAZY she is, because if you say you express a particular trait often enough it apparently manifests itself as something approximating a personality. They always love Nandos too. |

When I used to work in a foundry (IN A FACTORY! REMEMEBER THEM? BRITISH PEOPLE ACTUALLY MAKING THINGS TO SELL! HARD TO BELIEVE I KNOW) The office seemed like an unreachable wonderland. Just sitting about all day in a clean quiet envitronment sipping in comfy chairs with no actual physical labour. No constant clanging of metal together in extreme heat, repetetive heavy labour and going home black faced like a fucking coal miner every day. Cannily I managed to use their training budget to get an A level at evening classes for free on a one year course and then fucked off to uni as a mature student with my shiny new A grade in English lit before they shut the place down and fucked off to China. |

I used to work in an elderly persons home. I found it really hard to cope with the constant bitching and polotics that would go on behind everyones back. I didnt befriend any particular group and would float around somewhat independently, hearing from everyone about how much the other staff suck and what they've done recently thats pissed others off and all that bollocks. Piggy in the middle, really. I was very uncomfortable for the 2 years i was there and as a method of coping i made a route and routine that i tried to stick to, constantly on the move so i wouldnt have to engage my coworkers, most of the time ending up in the kitchen where i would wash my hands every time. It soon spread like wildfire that i spent far too much time in the kitchen and "he doesnt stop eating, does he?". A lot of the time i'd walk in on them talking about me and in my infinite youthful wisdom would just let it pass. Fucking bitches. |

Working in retail has taught me customers are arseholes. Particularly when I'm putting stock out. They don't even see you. I observed some customers and they will happily move out the way of other customers but not staff. I dislike the ones who don't put stock back where it was. I'm not expecting them to put it in the same exact spot but when I see a book in the middle of the floor I wonder whether they're doing it on purpose. If you're one of those people who will treat me like another human and move when I'm carrying a stack of heavy encyclopaedias then thank you. |

The problem with all head offices is that they see things in terms of profit, figures, research, initiatives, units etc etc. They make little allowance for the humanity of their staff, or for variations between different branches and their surrounding areas and populations. When this shortcoming is highlighted, they see it as an indication that they need MORE INFORMATION, MORE SCRUTINY, more fucking hot air being blown about, more directives, guidelines, incentives, appraisals, audits, inspections, feedback and and other horse shit, when all that's really needed is to TRUST the lower-level employees to make the customers happy. Let staff have some degree of autonomy, let them give the people what they want, the way they want it, and forget all the fine print of company policy. So long as the big picture remains intact that can only be a good thing. A lot of the time, things get too specific, too fine a point on everything because some paper-shuffler has to justify their existence. |

Zenoslad here. Recently we have been training from 9 - 12.30 and then jobseeking from 1.30 - 4.15. The network, being much too shit to actually handle the amount of people accessing it, crawls during 1.30 - 4, so what the head office decided to do once notified of the problem was let our floor get on the Internet from 1.30 to 3 and then let the other floor get it from 3 - 4.15. |

Because the stupid fucking barstaff have either been stealing or simply not putting sales through properly, our bar is four grand down, which means now staff are no longer allowed to enjoy a nice cold - paid for - pint after work, or, in my case, a nice cold cuba libre during work.

I work at Primark, and to echo some of the other lads in the thread who work/worked there, it's full of minor annoyances (though I'm less tolerant of that stuff due to my maximum autism). It's a decent enough job in terms of pay and the fact it's not physically/mentally challenging, but there are some things that fuck me right off about it. |

I worked as a 'Telephone Fundraiser'. A tele-begger is a better way of putting it. Like a Chugger but I'd get to stay indoors. I'd call people all over the UK and beg for monthly direct debits on behalf of the Red Cross or whatever disabled kids charity we were doing that week. The whole place just reeked of failure, and they'd hire anyone who came to their wanky group interviews, which gives me tons of material for this thread. |

It usually takes place around Febuary, because until then there's no way we can get anything to accomodate nearly two thousand people from all our branches. It's still always pretty crammed and Ukrainians drink all the cognac they can find faster than you can even get to it. The last time we also had those horrible Freddy Mercury and Johnny Depp impersonators to greet guests and an 'anime photo booth'. |

Quite petty, but we have to print out a fair number of e-mails at work and so many pieces of paper are wasted by people not using print preview and ending up with one page that they actually need and a second that is usually the last line or so of an e-mail signature, which will just be chucked in the bin.

"Electricians" as opposed to actual electricians. "I want a cable, a strong one", "I want a plug, a strong one", "I'm wiring up a 2.5kW heater, can't you just give me 0.5mm two core"? I mean fucking hell, the saying "The Brits like to burn down their houses with gas fires, not electric ones" used to mean something. I'm not a sparky (let that sink in) but the amount of times I've had to serve people who clearly had less clue than me… (2.5mm 6242Y to make up a trailing socket? Clearly a good idea over 2.5mm 3183Y because the former is "more strong"). It's quite a regional complaint, but blimey… |

People who leave things for other people to sort. It's only little things - like taking a fax off the machine, noticing it's used the last of the paper and not topping it up or taking the last of something from the stationery cupboard, leaving the empty box inside and not telling anyone we need to order some more shite - but it's the office equivalent of not replacing an empty toilet roll tube. |

There's signs in the bogs at work along the lines of 'Gents, please leave these toilets in the state you'd like to find them.' Someone has left their arse explosion (it's hard to class it as a shit, it was an absolute mess. They must have some form of defective bowel) unflushed in the loo, closed both lids, taken the sign off the wall and left it on top. There's also someone who keeps deliberately pissing under one of the urinals, it has been confirmed it isn't a leak. Fucking animals. |

For example, our department went out for a fancy meal the other night and she boomed at me "can I come?

The layout means that the stairs, kitchen and bogs are in the centre, with a meeting room taking up one of the sides and the rest of us in an open plan horse shoe. I do not enjoy shitting in this building. I am paranoid they can hear me as we're only separated by a wall. I used to spend over an hour a week at my old job shitting and on my phone when I should be working. It's really getting me down. |

Our marketing department have sent out a snotty email to say that we must use their specific out of office wording or our branding will be harmed. It's bad enough that most of what they come up with is grammatically incorrect and then sent to our clients/potential ones, I'm talking not even knowing the difference between its and it's - I think the record is 6 basic and glaring errors on an A5 flyer, but they really will do any shite to justify their existence. |

The ladies in the office are excited because last Friday of the month = dress down day, which means they'll be wearing what they do for the rest of the month (i.e. almost whatever they want) but with JEANS. |

Every letter and e-mail that comes in or goes out has to be attached to our 'document management system'. Now, this wouldn't be so bad if people actually bothered to name each document they attach so that it'd be easy to retrieve something specific quickly. As it is, I have to open about seven or eight documents in some instances because they all have the same name (whatever the activity entry is titled) and there's no guarantee I'll even find what I'm after. |

After days of having builders noisily installing a new air con system, the past two months or so has seen daily arguments on whether the temperature is too hot or too cold. I wish we could just go back to radiators, opening the window and desk fans. I really do. |

I've just bought a high-powered floor fan for my room. Seems like the best thing is to point it at the ceiling and create a cool draft round the whole room - much easier than air con, at least. |

At work yesterday we had an argument between three parties of customers. Today, one of these customers had complained to head office about me, and I had to write a witness statement to explain the situation. Thankfully the managers all knew I wasn't in the wrong. But seriously, fuck customers. |

The marketing department have unveiled an absolute monster of an e-mail signature; 5 images and 6 hyperlinks. An e-mail signature should not be greater than 200kb. Anyway, a fair few people have had e-mails bouncing back because other companies just think it's spam. The director who ultimately has the final say (who usually sends e-mails from his BlackBerry with no signature attached) thinks the fault is with the IT department for not being supportive enough of marketing because apparently we receive big shiny e-mails from other companies no problem. |

The IT lads have said in the first two weeks of June nearly 200 emails bounced back as spam, compared to just 2 in May. Rather than changing the signature the 'solution' is simply to delete it and re-send to anyone it's bounced back from. |

When I was working nights at a factory many moons ago they used to alternate between Radio 1 and local radio. Local radio was fucking nightmarish, especially Graham Torrington's late night love. Radio 1 was fine because you got Gilles Peterson and John peel. I would often take my Discman in though. |
