Job Interviews

Can you do nights from home? Iā€™ve offered to be do a few very late evenings running into 1/2am. They are the grandest just to get out of the office & they think you are doing them a favour then

Sounds like a job for @Julio_Geordio

Nights are when I like to leave the home :pint:

Days are for sleeping

Whatā€™s in your contract with respect to current hours of work

Is there any pushback from your manager Copper? If theyā€™re company-manin this it really depends on the wording on your employee handbook/contract.

It sounds like a chance to start sending out feelers anyways before approved headcounts are a free for all next month.

If you are on shift you should be getting a premium for all of the hours. Thatā€™s a four cycle shift, though the evenings part I havenā€™t seen before. Lads/lassies on two days/two night/four days off and then repeat would get 33% shift allowance. Three cycle shift 25% and days and evenings 17.5%. Thatā€™s what it was back in the day at least.

Have you a union at all?

Hereā€™s the email I would send back.

No thanks, not interested.

Warm regards,

Copper pipe

Are you currently doing straight days?

How is the night and weekend covered right now?

Youd want 10% pay rise on basic, plus another annual bump in the new year based on performance nkt tied to the first. And then have a shift rate of at least 33%.

Thatā€™s what regeneron do 2 days 2 nights and 4 off

I was doing a job interview years ago. The interviewer asked me this question.

If I told you how to do a job, and you knew it to be the wrong solution, would you do it the way I told you or do it the correct way?

I told him that weā€™d sit down and discuss the job first and come up with a compatible solution and get the job done once and right. However, he kept pressing me for a black and white answer. So in the end I told him that Iā€™d go to his boss.

I didnā€™t get the job.

I was asked a similar question. Basically asking me would I hang him. Like every other question I lied and told him I wouldnā€™t. I was smirking inside until he asked me what motivated me in the workplace. The prick got me right between the eyes. Years later I still canā€™t answer it.

why the fuck would you even want to work for a prick like that?

I donā€™t knowā€¦

Iā€™m doing a bit of documentation here now. The ā€˜bossā€™ asked me to do it even though we donā€™t have all the information and some of the details we do have I know are incorrect. He said just do it and get it done, and we can correct it later. So thatā€™s what reminded me.

Iā€™m completely unmotivated.
I think Iā€™ll go for a walk before it gets too darkā€¦
