However, they said come this morning at 9am for my induction which I thought would be an hour or two of form filing/uniform receiving like last time.
Nope, I was in a crowded room for 6 hours being read a health and safety booklet from page to page. Then the woman, in complete primary school manner asked everyone to 'spot the mistakes' in a cartoon picture. It was sad to see grown men and women shout these out like a bunch of five year olds, it really was.
I've had about 3 hours sleep and I've missed the last bus to my mate's parents house place which was having a big party.
I hate work

There was a part that was like that but 100 times worse.
I nearly just walked out about three times.
> Yeah, who needs health or infact safety...?
I think health needs safety and safety needs health. They are an irrepressible tag team. SHEEPY you might be able to take some hope from the fact that no matter how crappy it gets, at least you dont work in a call centre.
:(
> Health and Safety.. That stuff is generally a waste of time.
It's usually the big supermarkets who waste hour upon hour on training. Many many years ago I was a trolley porter at Tesco and had to endure hour upon hour of health and safety training covering everything from making sure there were no grapes on the floor in the fruit and veg aisle (even though I worked outside all the time) to making sure I didn't push too many trollies at once (it took them an hour to explain to me I shouldn't push more than 8 at any given time)
The only plus side to this was when we were shown a video that had 2 good bits on it. The first was a bloke who got into a lift without shutting the doors, slipped and his leg was ripped off after being trapped between the lift floor and the lift shaft and the second was when a bloke was driving a fork lift truck in the warehouse, smashed through some doors and smashed a bloke on the other side in the face with one of the doors.
Problem was I was the youngest in the room by a good 30 years and everyone was looking absolutely horrified apart from me who was sitting at the back with tears running down my face from laughing. Still didn't stop though even with everyone looking at me.
Moral of the story: If you work in a supermarket expect to be constantly blasted with red tape and bureaucracy.
> I've missed the last bus
Haha. At 4:31pm? Where do you live?
