    Well Ive worked for a company for the past 1,5 years, today I got a letter from them saying my employment has been terminated. The funny thing about all this is that they've sacked me but want to know what my opinion is of the company...LOL

    Tell us some secrets that the company doesn't want us to know!

    They are just testing you. Write in the survey that you love them and they will rehire you.
    I guarantee.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,081 ✭✭✭GetWithIt


    Complete the form in a completely professional manner.

    That'll teach them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,061 ✭✭✭keith16


    Don't write "LOL" on the form. It will confirm their belief that you are in fact unemployable.

    Seriously though, if you are critical, best make it constructive, never burn your bridges pal.

    everything is a test

    you're the knock

    Well don't tell them what you really think anyway, you may need a reference at some stage from the b&stards.

    Exit interviews - the greatest waste of time ever.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,686 ✭✭✭✭Panthro


    Send them back the survey, but don't fill it out.

    Ohhh that will rattle the cages of them so it will.

    Rattle it goooooooood.


    Or ya could just fcuk it in the bin and forget about it.

    Sacked or laid off?

    If the former - make it look like you sacked the,.

    if the later, do it - might be useful for a refernce.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Fill it in to the best of your ability with faecal matter and blood, and post it back in a very, very tightly sealed envelope.

    Pro tip: doesn't have to be your own blood.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,758 ✭✭✭amacca


    Send them a survey, ask them to complete it and get it back to you ASAP as your admin staff have a lot to do.

    Pick any random survey, it doesn't matter......I'm sure they will get the point.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,421 ✭✭✭ToddyDoody


    Tick every box randomly.. Even where you're supposed to write something put a tick. Job done, box ticked


  • Registered Users Posts: 170 ✭✭dybbuk

    Are you trying to sell your worthless feacal matter to an unemployed man?

    Is it 1 or 5? If itz 1, you is well focked. If itz 5, what did ya do to get fired? Ride the bosses missus? If itz 1.5, youre whats known as a grey area. You need just for men. Deadly for grey areas.

    I had never heard of an employee survey of this kind before. What sort of questions do they ask?

    what is your favourite colour?

    what three things would you take to a desert island with you?

    is it better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all?

    in your opinion is a bird in the hand really better than two in a bush?

    how do you feel about us canning you and then sending you these questions?

    Whether he does it or not a job can't give you a bad reference


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,180 ✭✭✭hfallada


    I imagine its a standard procedure to see how can they can improve employer employee relationship

    Dont call they effing ***** and then expect a good reference


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,390 ✭✭✭IM0


    there is only one thing that needs to be done here. take a large turd on the bonnet of the boss' car, then brush hands together in the job done kind of way. the boss will see you from their window and immediately rehire you for being so clever and displaying your understanding of irony, BALLS, wit, confidence, reverse psychology, creativity and more importantly your desire to keep the job, and that you know a test when you see one and face the challenge head on

    Not true. Not true at all. A job can give you any kind of reference they want. If they put a bad one in writing, they'd better be able to back it up, and avoid any confidential disclosures, but on a verbal basis, they can tell the whole truth and land you back in the positions wanted section every day.

    Online survey or paper survey? If paper I hope at least they had the regard to include a stamped addressed envelope.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,318 ✭✭✭✭Menas


    In the comments section allude to the sexual relationships you have had with senior members of staff of both sexes and the payoff you received from company funds to hush you.
    Send a copy of the completed form to their international HQ.
    That will set off a few alarm bells.

    You think that's bad. I had to fill out my own P45.

    They've specifically asked you to do one? Aren't they meant to be anonymous and an opt in thing?
