Argos.
Why? Well I am just not cut out for the job as a stock assistant. All my skills that I enjoy using are hidden putting away huge heavy boxes on shelves in a dark and dank stockroom.
I'm supposed to be doing 2.5 hours a day - yesterday I clocked up 6 hours. That was me working as fast as possible, trying to finish my job so I could get home to my dog (my responsibilty to clear up after him), go over my grandparents and give the car engine a run for a few minutes, book a driving test, sort out my UCAS application for next year etc. etc. I had the store manger breathing down my neck saying we weren't working fast enough.
I'd rather be out serving the public or using the skills I learnt at A-level. Nothing in my Chem/Phys/Bio or maths taught me how to move stuff in a stockroom, although physics taught me how to move it a bit easier in some cases.
That is why I am busy writing up my notice now. I'd rather scrimp and save than work there for another second.
Do you think I'm doing the right thing?

If you're not enjoying it I'd leave.
It will play on your mind even when you're not at work and if you're doing your job right and still getting grief from your boss there's not really much you can do to right the situation unless you can make him see sense which is unlikely.

Sounds like something stupid like David Brent would say :)
Borat increase your work by 20% efficency please, not 19% but 20%!

Bah! Caught me...
Just preparing to write the rest of my walkthrough. But you're right. Time to make my notice.

What the hell is 80% efficiency anyway?
I mean I know what it is ... but how do you measure the efficiency of stock handlers? And how do you achieve 100%?
What a load of tosh.

I actually almost said that in a "telling off" session last week. We were working at 80% efficiency and that wasn't good enough. I though the amount of pay for the work and thinking "I was meant to be going to uni this week" and all the things I hate and almost told them to stick it where the hippy doesn't shine.
I'm now going to write it in a letter! :D
Oh, probably, depends on where I send my applications.
