The most consistently evil profession you encounter

    I'm probably going to get a lot of banker stories but I'm wondering what profession that you have dealt with/worked in do you think has the most consistently evil people working in them?

    Having worked closely beside a sales team I used to think sales men/women were the most evil but having had to look for a job over the past couple of months I would have to say, without generalising, the majority of recruiters I have dealt with are just pure evil. I honestly don't know how they sleep at night!

    Regardless of your skillset they will send you for whatever job is going which barely resembles what you are looking for (they will try to talk you into it if you disagree) and when that's done, they don't keep you in mind for the next job that comes along which you probably have a better chance of getting!!!! So this is how I spend my days....chasing the most evil people in Ireland.

    Think I'll change my last name to "The Vampire Slayer" because that's all they are.....VAMPIRES! They could at least send me out a tissue for the two holes they leave on my neck after each phone call!!! :mad::mad::mad:

    Most other people mentioned here just do horrible jobs, but investment bankers are just raking in humongous piles of money by holding this country to ransom.

    I wouldn't mind dealing directly and only with HR departments tbh. It just seems the majority of jobs out there are represented by recruitment agencies. The only thing they've got to protect is their reputation which, from my viewpoint, is like trying to protect a turd from being flushed!

    Nope they are doing you a favour by not investing your pension money in a badly run country :pac: No rational person would invest in Ireland!

    Would you rather your pension be managed by someone on minimum wage or someone with a performance related bonus?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,751 ✭✭✭Saila


    Regulators

    I'd rather manage my pension myself under my mattress rather than entrust it to those pondscum.

    Don't forget that many people's pensions were wiped out in 2008 regardless of where the money was invested. Such is the nature of the markets, but you can be guaranteed that these guys won't lose out.

    And rightly so. I'm not in HR and I hate to defend them, but you would not believe the amount of 2 bit cnuts out there who think they are superstars and who think company "owes" them a ridiculous wage. A lot of people out there need to be put in their place and brought back to earth. Virtually everyone is easily replaceable these days but some people just don't get that.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,196 ✭✭✭the culture of deference


    evil HR people (failed garda)

    Sales agents/estate agents = too thick to have a proper job

    Lawyers = scum with no morals, (would consider selling family)

    medical specialists .. you wait 18 months to see one, you meet them, 5 minutes later that'll be 180 quid,

    no we only take cash (dr evil laugh),
    no i cant help you,
    BUT .... i can recommend someone else

    priests


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,962 ✭✭✭✭dark crystal


    Clampers and traffic wardens are evil basterds alright.

    Would have to say tabloid journalists would be up there too.
