this club - prentious and rude when it comes to prospective employees

[HastingsSeagull]

Minimum wage is £6.19, this position is 20% over that and a 40 hour week would put you well over the 15k you seem to value yourself at, i really cannot see your problem.

Very much this. And the advert says CLEANING. Doubt the club will be that upset to have 'lost out on your expertise'

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

do you think cleaning is beneath you then?

remind me who is pretentious?

and your main complaint seems to be with ONE guy and his supposed behaviour...you said yourself that everyone else was great...so is your complaint with 'the club' or 'one employee of the club'?

god knows how many years down the line and you haven't quite grasped the concept of thinking before you post....

How dare you and anybody else question my ability to read. I know what I read and here is the advert.

So did you not bother to read the Job Description then? You needed to "click here" to do that as it says.

Adrie. When I joined this board 7 years ago you were arguing with FRANK (RIP) and his one leg about cleaning jobs and auditions.

Fast forward to now...your now arguing with EVERYONE about cleaning and auditions. Have you considered retraining?

 

[SeagullinExile]

My word. Surely this is a fishing trip?

I don't want to be mean here, and I will pretend the OP's post is genuine (I truly pray it isn't). I will just ask the OP a few questions (many of which have already been asked by others and not responded to). I do this in a non-bullying 'just interested' way.

1. What pun are you apologising for in your original post?

2. What is pre[te]ntious about a company advertising job vacancies? Is it the job title? Surely if anything such titles help the employee not the company ('matchday assistant' rather than 'toilet cleaner' looks so much better on the CV)?

3. Why did you apply for a cleaning job that you felt was "beneath you"? If you're out of work (or looking for extra hours) why would you consider ANYTHING beneath you?

4. Why were you surprised that the person who interviewed you expected you to work for him? [Isn't that normal? Who did you expect him to want you to work for, Moon Base Alpha?]

5. What is a pedal stool?

6. You claim that BHAFC are 'insulting' and 'devious'. If they were to sue you for libel [don't worry they won't, they are likely as amused by your idiotic posts as the rest of us] what would be your defence?

7. To what extent is it BHAFC's fault that you live 35 miles away from the Amex? Where exactly should they have built the stadium to best benefit you re the cleaning job you don't want?

8. What pun are you apologising for your in your original post?

9. You claim you have been "getting auditions and interviews for jobs for 15k". One presumes you haven't got any of this work – is that BHAFC's fault too? Or maybe yours?

10. Could someone turning up at an interview for a cleaning job spouting things they want to change about general stadium issues possibly be considered pretentious?

11. Why didn't you bother to actually check the job description [Googling it if the link was as you claim broken] before turning up for the interview?

12. What is a "minimum wage skill" – is that just your term for something you don't want to do?

13. What pun are you apologising for in your original post?

14. What is a pedal stool?

15. Were you as much of a dickbag to the person interviewing you as you have been to everyone trying to help you on this thread?

16. At what stage might you possibly realise that it's your own attitude that's the problem, not that of the various different interviewees you've had (I imagine you've posted similar threads on passiveaggressiveextrasforfilms.co.uk and willcleanbutnotifitsdirty.co.uk)?

17. Has this thread gone the way you expected it to?

18. Are you actually really just upset because you turned up for an interview for a cleaning job for the Amex expecting the interviewee to instead offer you the lead role in Hamlet at the RSC?

19. Is this whole thing really just an hilarious trolling exercise that when revealed will make everyone else on NSC batter themselves on the side of head, mewl "D'oh!" and doff their caps to you?

20. What pun are you apologising for in your original post? Is it the pedal stool one?

 

[Kosmonaut]

To be fair I HATE it when any company uses clearly boilerplate descriptions for their job, like that ipad ad which could describe pretty much any job ever

I reckon the Toilet Cleaning is just he clubs version of Mr Miyagi's training in The Karate KId

After a few weeks toilet training you then become a matchday steward

Lifting the lid - thats the arm action the stewards use when protecting themselves from attack.

Wiping the seat - thats the hand movement they use for calling you over when they are about to throw you out for standing

Using the brush - thats the pointing action for when you have dropped something under your seat.

Shit on.... shit off...

Shit on.... shit off...

Shit on.... shit off...

Oh hang on, we've been here before haven't we....?

 

[maltaseagull]

What seems to have passed everyone by is that contrary to Aidre's accusation of pretentiousness etc we seem to have some good people doing the employing.

At least that is how I'm looking at it, they told him to feck off didn't they?

Ouch

Applying for a part-time/casual job at £7.50 an hour with a 70 mile (round-trip) commute.
An average car's fuel cost for this trip would be around £12.00, just under 2 hours pay.
Guessing it's 3-4 hours work once a week or so, that brings in roughly £18.00 cash after fuel.
A lot of effort for minimum reward, no?

 

[El Presidente]

I don't care I just like people being polite regardless if they have seen 30 people and are bored shitless you give people the benefit of the doubt. If I was late or rude than they had a right to act hostile. Anyway I have other options open. General rule if you're nice to me I am nice to you. Anything else I couldn't give a monkeys about you

I introduced myself to you at an away match to say nothing more than "hello", and "are you enjoying the match"', and your response was to initially stare through me, then turn your back away and start talking to someone else in a very loud voice.

Is this you being 'nice'?

 

[bomber130]

At the risk of completely jeopardising my prospects to ever work for this club I want to bring to your attention this club has towards treating prospective employees. In my opinion they are insulting and devious but you can draw your own conclusions. I had an interview for the role of a match day assistant. Nothing else disclosed about what it involves, I do my own research which is standard of me. Arrive smart, on time and courteous. Moment I arrive to speak I am am immediately put on a pedal stool. I explain my initial expectations, which is what I think is assisting with the events of matches around the crowd. I was not corrected of this and then questioned about my knowledge of cleaning which I knew pretty well as I've been one in the past. When I then ask what I will be doing they say I will clean after matches. I am sorry but I find this utterly rude to not disclose this in the first place, it's disgraceful. I've been getting auditions and interviews for positions of 15k and I felt like the club are manipulating people to get one over. They were interviewing several prospective employees many whom appeared older and greater experience on me. To ask people to come out for a minimum wage skill is just rude. Frankly if this is how they treat potential new staff god knows how they treat their current staff. I will not be picking up someone's poo in the toilets. No pun intended.

Christ. How did that make you feel?

 

[Goldstone1976]

It all sounds like both parties won by the OP not getting the job.

He doesn't have to do a job that he doesn't want to do, reporting into someone he doesn't want to be his boss, for pay that is "lower" than he's worth.

The club don't have to employ someone who, going on the basis of his posts on here, is likely to cause trouble.

Win/win.
