And like it's lower-brow cousin, if you avoid the morons, it has its uses. Strangely, my employer (Large Gov. Agency) blocks facebook on our network but allows linkedin. Double standards, imho, as there's more than enough timewasting, unsecured shite on the latter. I'm more pissed off that my stand-alone PC has lost the unfettered net access I had until our IT dept(One fella, part-time) retired recently and his job was taken over by a civvy company. I now can't access webmail at work. Cúnts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNU_Linux Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 @Bairnardo this be the thread yer looking for. Agency worker's LinkedIn rant bout 'picky' staff leads to job offers An agency worker whose rant on LinkedIn about the "shocking" work ethic of colleagues went viral says it led to "hundreds" of job opportunities. Lee Moore, from Nottinghamshire, took up a temporary minimum wage role at a food manufacturer in April while looking for permanent sales roles. The father-of-one was shocked when four other agency staff "walked out" just an hour into their shift at the factory. His post about their "pickiness" was eventually seen by 4.6 million people. The 36-year-old, from Kirkby-in-Ashfield, said he had been out of work since mid-February and was forced to take a three-month mortgage holiday. "Obviously it was worrying. You're worried about how long it will be until you can find something, how much you're eating into your savings," he said. "My wife works part-time, but she's not long back [at work] because she had most of 2019 off due to cancer. "Then she had to shield during Covid as she was on the vulnerable list." While Mr Moore was interviewing for other roles, his recruiter offered him temporary work at a food packaging manufacturer. Although it was significantly less than he had been paid in previous jobs, he was happy to take the work. "My feeling is you'll do anything to pay your bills and provide for your family," he said. But an hour into his first shift, he was staggered to find all the other new agency workers left. After finishing his shift, he wrote on LinkedIn: "I'm amazed people that are out of work can choose to be so picky and refuse to work because it's 'boring' or 'embarrassing to wear a hair net'." 'Hired on attitude' The post got more than 120,000 reactions and 5,000 comments on the business networking website. "It was mad. My phone ran out of battery by midday with the number of notifications," he said. After receiving hundreds of messages of job offers in sales and recruitment positions, Mr Moore landed a role with Derbyshire-based firm PermaRoof. The company's director Adrian Buttress said: "I believe in hiring on attitude as everything else can be taught. "When I came across Lee's post on LinkedIn, I knew I had to speak to him. "Lee had hundreds of job offers so I am truly delighted that he chose to come and join the PermaRoof team." Mr Moore said: "My LinkedIn post showed there were so many people who said they were in the same boat. "The more people we can get into work and get their lives on track, the better." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?" DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?" SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?" DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?" DAD: "If you must know, I make $100 an hour." SON: "Oh! (With his head down). SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow $50?" The father was furious. DAD: "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior." The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $ 50 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door. DAD: "Are you asleep, son?" SON: "No daddy, I'm awake". DAD: "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier. It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $50 you asked for." The little boy sat straight up, smiling. SON: "Oh, thank you daddy!" Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father. DAD: "Why do you want more money if you already have some?" SON: "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do. "Daddy, I have $100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you." The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness. It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $100 worth of your time with someone you love? If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family and friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone thought this up, typed it out, and spent the whole time thinking it was profound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
