Telewest
I moved from Manchester to Wirral a few years back, i was offered a job when I was in Manchester to go and work in Telewest in Liverpool Albert dock. Which was cool as it was near where I was going to be living - what luck!

After 3 days I had had enough, the system we were being trained on was about 15 yrs old – in fact probably older... the job itself was to manually connect telephone lines contracts or something... Either way, on the day I left I rang the Agency i was working for and advised them I wouldn’t be returning. the response i got was shocking: quotes:

"You’ll never be successful"
"You’re stupid"
"How dare you waste our time?"
"Dont be thinking of coming back to us"
"Waste of space"

I was shocked... I had been really polite and explained the job really wasn’t what I expected.

On returning back to my desk to collect my things, i spoke to one of trainers - a really nice bloke, he said there was a bet around the office to see how long I would last, and apparently the position had been filled and repeatedly lost several times over the passed few months. I had stayed longer than most people thought.

The agency was struggling to do its job, and instead decided to blame me for its failings.

cunty cunts.... GRRR

Twunts...
...still, now would be a good time to explain your success since then. Be a bad thing to lose face to Telewest of all companies.
