Middle management often attracts wankers.Whether it's ResQ, Citi, Barclays, 2 Touch, Northumbrian Water, Royal Mail, BT ... they're all a bit shit in varying degrees (and I've worked in them all)
Middle-managers get absolutely high as a kite on the power given to them, despite having no experience whatsoever in man-management.
They get promoted on the strength of a few decent months' sales and licking the arse of HR at the right time. Nepotism also helps.
These same bosses twist on about the pressure they get from above, and blame the plebs if he/she can't run a team.
They act like your best mate when you've had a good month and you're wanted on THEIR team, stab you in the back when the heat is on.
Reach for company manual and quote policy ad verbatim when they can't even understand a word of it.
I always did quite well in call-centres but - this may surprise you - my bad attitude let me down.
I wonder of my experience matches that of others..
- Barclays - great training, decent basic but poor commission structure. Most managers on power trips.
- 2 Touch - good money if you graft but nepotism was rife. High staff turnover, now known as something else.
- Northumbrian Water - good training, poor money, awful to get to.
- Citi - nepotism central (long-gone after the worldwide financial crisis)
- Royal Mail - the boredom makes you yawn so much, people think you're crying.
- BT - as above, but this was in the days of 192 so you'd expect little else.
- ResQ - rife with drug-taking, poor management at all levels and little fascists getting the plum jobs. Two sisters that do the training were hot AF though.

it's certainly more for the younguns like.
Having said that, the bairms need to know that work and work-life is certainly NOT like that in general!
Going straight from school or college into that kind of environment must be a shock and a real let-down.
I think it's formative to have a really shit job early on in your working life as a reality check. Character building, and you end up with some great stories.
I can concur with Barclays managers on power trips, they were absolutely horrendous when I was there and each manager got worse than the last. I worked there from 2004 to 2016, the job in the last couple of years was easier and better than ever, but it was the nepotism and the corruption I could not take anymore, I just walked out one day, one of best decisions ever.

Sounds like someone never got promoted.
I worked as a porter in a hotel kitchen. Turned out the hotel manager had been paying an employee who didn't exist and pocketing his money for months/years. When caught, he pretended to be mad and put adverts in the local newspapers begging this person (who none of us who worked there had ever met) to step forward and clear his name.when I worked in blockbuster when I was at uni I caught some crackhead filling some bags with sweets etc. I asked him if he was going to pay for them. He said no and I just said fair enough and he scurried out. Wasn’t going to get stabbed over some fruit pastels.

Hard to tell if this is a parody or seriousLass's work.
Not a proper job for men to do.
Never a truer word spoken.I think it's formative to have a really shit job early on in your working life as a reality check. Character building, and you end up with some great stories.
I've written two.I could write a book on this topic.
