Things that annoy you ?

i don't think you'll get any extra money from them, because you'll still be employed even although you won't be paid for another month.

[rachbon]

Ah christ! Gonna be a bit of a struggle then!

they will only continue housing benefit and council tax benefit for a month after you start work, or sometimes longer. Not JSA.

sorry i suppose thats not very helpful as you live at home.

My mum said she'd tap us the money to get my train pass, but I f**king hate taking money off her. Not that she couldn't afford, my dad n her are pretty well off, just hate taking money like that. Grr!

Might be a bit cheeky, but you could explain the above to your new job and try & get a sub from your first paypacket to tie you over?

I don't know, most of the places I've worked would.

it's a call centre though. they usually have a big turnover of staff. you'll get loads of people going through the training then leaving, or leaving after a week or two. if they gave people wage advances, they wouldn't be able to claim it all back cause people could leave and they haven't earned enough wages for the advance to be deducted from.

[ampersand]

i know that if i asked for an advance, i'd be laughed off the phone. and i've worked here for 3 years.

[rachbon]

It's not realy a call centre as such. More one of their main offices.

[Pogues Mcgogues]

are you going to be on the phone all day talking to customers? is it in or near george square?

[rachbon]

No and no.

[Pogues Mcgogues]

what will you be doing and where is it?

i'm not being a prune, i am interested.

[rachbon]

See they have a training thing, and after that you get put in your specific place and get more used to the role (depending on strengths and weaknesses of the training period they deicide where your best suited). It does deal with phones and that, but there's other bits too, and it's all inbound calls anyway. To be honest I'm not entirely sure what it is exactly yet lol.

It's up near Charing Cross. Big massive building with about six - seven floors.

sounds alright. RBS aye? my wee brother worked in their call centre in george square a few years ago, just wondered if it was the same one.

[rachbon]

Nah, begins with an S

Okay, filling out a vetting form. It asks to give all the days I've been sick over the past two years. I can only remember one but sure there'll be more. What should I do ???

[llcoolphil]

That was very much the case... Although appalling is a strong word... I couldn't read the number plates in the past...

My new optiiton reckons my prescription was a bit too strong... So me and wifey measured out the 20 meters from some number plates on our street and I can see them!!

So I want to past my test asap to get it out of the way...

I was wondering if the new license plates make a difference... Can't find any old style ones...
