I am contracted to a government department at the moment, anyone that tends to be employed directly by them is a complete mouth breather

Tbf I've had similar experiences. We go through a single point of contact now and he's responsible for dealing with them.

No.1 skill required for management is dealing with incompetence. Used to managed a team of 5. Thankfully through expansion I was able to keep the interesting stuff about my job and pass on the direct reports to some other mug. Still managed the same people on technical projects but don't have to put up with the HR bullshit. Something about having to tell a 30 year old man that turning up 15 minutes late everyday then spending the next 30mins eating your breakfast at your desk probably isn't a good idea. Not that I gave a shit, but you can sense the resentment from other people if they get away with it.

This is why I am glad to work in a job where I am actually treated like an adult and can come and go as I please
Today I started at 8 and will probably finish soon, tomorrow I'll be starting after 10
Imagine calling yourself a professional and getting a bollocking for showing up 5 minutes late

Anyone here ever done a big switch in career through evening classes or stuff like that? Seriously looking in to part-time diplomas/undergrad degrees to switch it up, I'm alright doing what I'm doing right now (working at Queens Uni in their research finance) but if I think about sticking to this kind of work for any significant bit of time I get depressed lol

I work in retail at the moment, but currently studying an Animal Management Level 3 qualification at college. 1 year left on the course then I can go and work in a zoo or sanctuary.

I work nights so just doing college around it, worked out well first year cos I work Sat Sun Mon Tue nights then was at college Wed Thur Fri day times. Was hard work but definitely worth it when I got all my results and passed my exams first time.
I cant stand retail anymore, we’ve got people who’ve worked in my shop since my Mum was pregnant with me and worked there 29 years ago. Fuck that for a life.

I work as a Train Planner. Come at me with all your hate, as it is my fault.
