So much so, that a quarter of them gave up the course rather than do the placement!<br /><br />I had to bring in my "time sheets" to prove to them that my normal shift was 12 hours on twelve off. (The same for all emergency services,Hospitals, among others, here.)<br /><br />They just would not believe it.<br /><br />I do not know where they had worked before, but they all puported to have had proper jobs in Russia, Poland, China, and many other places.<br /><br />Turning the books on them, I told them that if they had never experienced an 8+ hours work day, I believed they were lying, and that to produce a false C.V is an offence.<br /><br />BUT, that is the attitude they have when going for interview, then complain "how hard it is to get work in Germany!"Furor Teutonicushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13856575077967523322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-67390999857310520862014-02-25T21:01:56.214+00:002014-02-25T21:01:56.214+00:00When the Thought Police come for you, concentrate ...When the Thought Police come for you, concentrate on the phrase;<br /><br />"I'm out!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-49873830155915155012014-02-25T19:24:37.143+00:002014-02-25T19:24:37.143+00:00And in the Grauniad too!

A couple of points tho...I read this a few days ago. A couple of points though.<br /><br />Firstly don't use the employer's IT to do personal stuff - even if the employer is relaxed about it. Wait until you get home. Keep work and personal matters separate. I have always operated a moat, stone wall, barbed wire and machine-gun turret approach with my work and personal lives. Work will never, ever, get a peek into the personal - even though they have tried on occasion.<br /><br />Secondly, any manager that threatens to sue over ten minutes and then blackmails the employee to work a full week in recompense has lost all sense of proportion and the correct response to such behaviour is to tell them to stick it. If they want to, they can go through the disciplinary process, which in this case would have amounted to a warning as it deserved no more.<br /><br />There are no good guys in this scenario.Longriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139120804208136012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-28838393316802176822014-02-25T14:50:39.244+00:002014-02-25T14:50:39.244+00:00I obliged reluctantly and did so because I prided ...<i>I obliged reluctantly and did so because I prided myself in having good work ethics</i><br /><br />I obliged reluctantly and did so because I was informed that if I didn't oblige I would be sacked for misconduct.<br /><br />There, fixed it.
