WORKING IN THE LOWER TIERS OF THE FINANCE SECTOR, PARTICULARLY CALL CENTRES, CAN BE A SORRY PLOD INDEED. THOSE WHO ARE UNLUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ENTOMBED  AS SUCH MAY BE ABLE TO RELATE TO THIS LIST OF DOLEFULNESS


Low pay and unhealthy conditions

Low morale

Edwardian practice of having to account for every second of the working day

Illogical setting of productivity targets that are never in your favour and regularly being trimmed down

Being paid differently for doing the same job as the person next to you

Not being paid for all the hours actually worked

Having the 'benefit' of buying holidays that used to be part of your leave entitlements

Having real benefits taken away, such as a week’s paid leave when you got married, or a day off for moving house. And remember the extra hour or two thrown in for Christmas shopping?

Being made to feel like a fraud if you take sick leave
Being put on humiliating, degrading attendance plans if you dare to be sick anyway

Working in an industry where everything is only about cost reducing

Being patronised by mindless, intelligence insulting sweeteners under the guise of rewards

Giving feedback in a roundly ignored employee opinion survey

Being represented by a pretend union that never ballots its members and agrees to every decision the employer makes, and incessantly preaches about bloody partnership!

Coming to a workplace because the only real alternative is destitution

Why is 100% never enough?

If you can relate your working life to any of that scroll of sorrow then you might just enjoy The Chairman Stories. It’s about the greedy, exploitative chairman of a bank whose empire reflected all the above and more. He dies one night and finds himself in Hell, condemned to do all the crap jobs his employees had to do in life, and still do. However, for the Chairman, it’s not just until the ever increasing retirement age comes around - it’s forever!

Join the miserable sinner on his seven grievance journey through Hell until the blessed chance of an appeal at the end awaits him. Will he finally get his sorry backside out of the place...?
