Worked for a chemical factory via a temp agency. The work was semi skilled, and you could not just walk in off the street and do it. Was promised a contract in the new year. Never arrived, usual excuses. “it will have to be next year now, due to financial restraints” I learnt as much as I could in the mean time, ran my job role really well, waited until I knew the only other guy in the department (he was on a contract) was going on leave for two weeks and during their busy period), and gave my notice in , so that my last day, would be also his last day prior to his holiday.

Never arrived, usual excuses. “it will have to be next year now, due to financial restraints”

I learnt as much as I could in the mean time, ran my job role really well, waited until I knew the only other guy in the department (he was on a contract) was going on leave for two weeks and during their busy period), and gave my notice in , so that my last day, would be also his last day prior to his holiday.

They were p*ssed as anything, manager had a face like thunder.

They offered me an extra £8 a week to stay until he came back from leave, so that they were not left with no one while he was off. This was a billion pound international company.

A whole £8 a week you say….

No thanks.

F8ck em.
