DH has the job he always wanted, a manger for a well known transport company, and you know what? Has grown to loathe it! We had huge problems when they underpaid us and we got the payslip late, it took a month for them to make it up and when we tried to get them to cover the £150 fines we incurred, they refused to discuss it. They did also for a while employ a terrible Junior to Dh, whom they had to promote over him as she was going to do them for sex discrimination (which they do have issues with BTW and I'm not justifying it, but it was SH's job) then she made his life HELL for months: kicking him, lying about him, forcing him to work unpaid (there is a clause in his contract that means if they get called in for extra work, up to 20 days a year (and this is 12 hour shifts) can be unpaid). She got removed eventually and Dh has since been praised massively for his work, but as a result they're no longer promoting from within.
Another manager a few years ago (who had a conviction for GBH) also pinned him against a wall and threatened to kill him.
It's calm at work ATM and he seems to be getting some respect (unpaid tonight though grrrr) but rumours are company are selling his division in summer, if so he's going for an electronics job (his love and passion) even though it pays less. About time too I say!
I'm a student but have had some TERRIBLE jobs and some great ones, best one was an Admissions Assistant at Strode College in Somerset where they are the loveliest poeple imaginable, and my time at Macmillan Cancer Relief and Home Start were great because of what we were doing for people. HATED nursing though.
Planning on PGCE when I graduate, possibly an MA in Autism after as they offer that here.
