They fluffed up the job tbf.
They made it sound like majority of my work was gas and heating, started and its just been grotty toilets and kitchen wastes blocked.
Im not really interested doing that in my own work never mind getting pita and doing it

They always make the jobs sound better to get you through the door.

You can get an idea within a couple of days what the place will be like to work at. You get to see what your colleagues are like and see what your work is going to be like.

What i did notice is how it has changed to how they jazz it up. We give you a new phone , a tablet and a new van but you cant use it out of hours.
Then next day fleet management comes in tells you about the traker and what it does but we dont monitor you but it does go on a system for your driving to be logged.
Then the tablet and phone has a safe guarding app for you to log in every two hours.
But we dont monitor you , yea right treated like a child in fairness.

I can remember the days before trackers and when you could use your van. Used to be awesome do your days work then go home.

Trackers weren't too bad on their own as long as you didnt take the mick but when they brought in pda's as well then the job just took a nose dive. It became too easy to send jobs to you without even speaking to you. At least before hand they had to phone you.

Too many people high up need to warrant the stupid money they earn so take it out on those that actually earn the money.

If I was to go back employed it would have to be for a 1 man band

All this tracking and monitoring workers just makes a worker stretch each job they can.
No point in completing a job in 5 minutes that would be estimated at an hours work and then rushing to the next job, without being appreciated and paid extra.
