Self-respect? Whats wrong with working in a shop or in the fast food industry? You think none of them have self-respect.

Good job you werent around in the 80's (or much of the 90's for that matter). Seriously, people these days have a big shock coming if/when the next major economic downturn comes around. Any job that can be go is a good one in those circumstances. Not that this isnt a good job now, but poeple can afford to turn their noses up at the minute.

I worked in LIDL for a year and a half and it was an absolute torture house. The only thing that job missed was a whip cracking off your back. Working with the people IN the shop was grand as they were all sound but it was what the actual company expected off you that was ridiculous! I'd be working 6am to 6pm with a half hour break (Thats all you allowed for lunch, and it's the only break you can get) Money was pretty good though, your soul disappears but you forget about that when you see the customers turn into rabid dogs killing each other to get their hands on some crappy offer at 8am. Like the Matrix, you have see it to believe it. People can be lunatics!

Bit harsh there with the self respect comment dont ya think

subway

:rolleyes:

ffs, just a little bit of fun.
lighten up.

if you cant have a little chuckle at the idea of a degree from lidl, well, good luck to you.

fair play too all who work there, as duggy above says, its not exactly the most rewarding job in the world, and its not all about money.
but if your unemployed go for it, or something, youll appreciate it when the 2080s hit...

Actually it isn't a degree from Lidl.

subway

no, i realise that.
good day to the lot of you.

That job did solely put me through college by paying the €800 registration fees (don't get the grant, bah!) and whatnot. €11 an hour ain't bad and since you'd work on the weekends (I only worked Sat 6 to 6, earned meself €130-ish that day) Took a leave of absence due to work experience but I'm, *groan*, going back to work there in September. Meh, it'll be for one more year!

I am enjoying your company,

Their degrees are accredited by the university of outer mongolia or something, and not actually real. They cater for the rich and thick, and er, lidl employees.

That's a fairly funny link OP. Thanks, I needed that.

The fact that you're learning very little in terms of valuable skills.
The fact that any idiot could do the same job.
The fact that your career expansion opportunities are extremely limited.
The fact that you're doing mindless work for crappy pay.

Pick one of those.

Sweet jesus anyone can get a degree nowadays. What happened to the educated elite.. I wonder is there a degree for binmen? Advanced studies in refuse identification collection and Disposal.. you go in for a week and practise putting a black bag into a truck and at the end of it you get your degree, a breakfast roll and The Star
