He brings on what he gets.

Anyone else got any complaints you can contact the admin.

Nobody is bullying him.

S**t, I must have imagined working for 15 years in a service industry, 10 at manager level, interviewing, hiring, training and managing entry level staff. Thanks for pointing that out.

Or it could be you and your fellow wasters don't have a clue.

Well here’s how you can help Boris: You could withdraw these companies right to decide who they employ and get the job centre to find them a near suitable candidate who’s long term unemployed. It will then be that employers responsibility to make it work because for far too long it has been beneath them to give anyone a chance who does not fit in with they ideological idea for a candidate.

When Damo writes total rubbish like this then it'll get treated with the stupidity it deserves. If I create a position in my company then I reserve the right to employ someone who I believe will be the best person for that position, not be told you will employ who the job centre decides and if it doesn't work out then it's my fault. Sorry Damo but with an attitude like that then you deserve everything you get.

I think what Damo suggests is commonly known as 'having your cake and eating it....'....

Care to expand on that?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen you ever explain anything on here. This is probably because you’d be unable to defend your points if you ever went into detail about anything. Go on shock us all.

At the same time, do you care to explain why you believe an employer should not have the right to choose their own staff, and instead have random idiots foisted on them by the local job centre, and when, a few weeks down the line, things go awry, the employer should be held responsible for the employee's failings?

People do have a life outside of the internet mate.



I've nothing to defend, and I certainly wouldn't go into detail with you.

I've interviewed timewasters such as yourself many, many times, most couldn't be d to get out of bed to come to work never mind do anything when they got there. They wanted to run the place before they knew the first thing about the business.

I can accept that Damo.....However, do you really believe the taxpayer should have to look after you, whilst you wait for your perfect job to drop in your lap??

24954 posts you’ve done on here over the years. I’m sure if I wanted to I could find out how many hours you’ve spent browsing the forums. On top of all that you’ve been a pretty active moderator. Yes people do have a life outside of the internet but don’t try use that excuse as the reason why you can’t ever expand on what you write in detail. Because clearly you’ve had plenty of time to do so.



I’m fine with you not defending yourself and I’m fine with you not wanting to go into detail about things. But the longer you insist on not going into detail, the more it confirms that your using it as an excuse to cover up what a nasty excuse of an individual you are. Explaining yourself to me is probably below you anyway.

If I knew I had an interview with yourself I simply wouldn’t turn up either. You come across as the worse type of manager - a jobs worth (your a jobs worth in your role as a moderator on here as well). My uncle is a managing director for a major super market chain and all his kids (my cousins) got jobs on the back of who they know.

My neighbours got a job in a different supermarket for very similar reasons. One of them has dropped out of college (are college drop outs lazy?) but he’s still working and he probably will continue to do so. So this completely blows out your time wasting theory to the gutter.

You’re an individual with a big chip on his shoulder about several things in the world. It appears that you’d rather belittle people in sorry situations than help them. Shame on you and thank goodness society is slowly moving away from the likes of you.

What do I have to defend? What do I have to got into detail about?

You can start with explaining away the hours you choose to spend on here as oppose to living that life outside the internet that you claim to have. Once you've done that we can move on to the more juicy details about your working life.

I don't have to explain anything to you or anyone else.



And that isn't going to happen either, just because you choose to share everything with all and sundry doesn't mean I have to.

That’s the thing - I never said you did have to. You asked me what you had to defend and what you have to go into detail about. So I told you what you could go into detail about. Whenever you want to go into detail is your choice. It is clear here that you don’t and that’s fair enough.

All your doing here is going in circles because your incapable of taking this debate with me anywhere further than your attempts to provoke me. It’s not happening

The time wasting there is who does the shortlisting in your HR department that in a climate of high unemployment where there are lots of high calibre and experienced candidates around, that timewasters get through to your interview stage.

Have you used a recruitment consultancy to do the initial shortlisting? Some of the big ones are just rip off merchants but there are smaller local based recruitment consultancies that can get you credible candidates even if you do the interviewing yourself and the smaller ones usually have decent fees.

Sadly when you run a pub you are the HR department when it comes to staff recruitment.



Very few companies use consultants to recruit basic entry level staff, the figures just don't stack up.

I just want to take some time to write my appreciation for those who’ve shown they support in this thread. It’s a very brave thing of you to do and I’m grateful for that.

I’ve took BG’s advice of reporting his conduct to the admins and it’s up to them what they do with him. If he thinks I deserve bullying then lets see what the admin team (who have a good reputation for dealing with things like this) think about that.

If the admins have any sense they'll tell you to crawl back under the rock you came from.

If the admins have sense you will be banned for bullying. Shame on you all.

There's a report here from the British Legion: www.britishlegion.org.uk/media/3 ... 001.06.pdf that was in 2006, so before the recession and the increase in unemployment hit, which had the shocking revelation that unemployment amongst ex members of the armed forces aged 18-49 was twice the rate of the national average for that age range. Is it time to start looking at cutting their benefits to make them take work? At least they should be getting some entry level work, while they are looking for other jobs.

Well you really don’t know the admins very well.

They will try to find a resolution on what action is needed to be taken for the betterment of all those involved.

to get away from the Damo sub-thread, perhps Dally or support can explain this: sport.uk.msn.com/olympics-2012/t ... ker-rights This is not any toy but one linked to a specific time, to a specific event, and to a specific UK based market. Its not a pair of trainers that could be used for 6 months but a toy that shows off our 2012 pride. So why couldn't it be made in the UK? Surely it would have still been profitable?
