Matthew_Gibson Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Ahh I miss working at Halfords, was pretty good fun to be honestThe head of Bikehut was a complete dick though, he didn't like that I could do his job better than him, so he would pick faults with everything I ever did, and being the brown noser to the boss he was, eventually got me fired for leaving some bars loose on a display bike... So I could put it on the display, jackass Un fair dismissal?? Write to head office! I think thats pretty petty in my eyes! I pulled a bike off display yesterday. BOTH tyres were flat , bars were angled correct! and the customer sat on it and the seat moved Im a bit lazy like. Like its been so so quite lately.(Anyother store noticed that? Sold 1 bike last weekend!!!!!!) So there nothing to do! I dont look for sumat to do! I do nothing! - Either, have longer on my lunch break, sit on the loo and read nuts/zoo and text people. GO into the ware house and climb over the bikes on the top and look at people while texting. Or just mess about with things!And we dont get paid untill Next week I really need some clothes, bike bits and to pay for a huge bit of mahogany for m tech project!!!!

Jolfa Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Un fair dismissal?? Write to head office! I think thats pretty petty in my eyes!Oh yeah, definitely, they'd set targets on the weekends to sell a certain amount of bikes each, which I ALWAYS met or exceeded, I did overtime all day, every day, the guy was just a complete arse Think it's a little late to be complaining though, was 6-7 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Yea as Pants said, I'm now a member of the Halfords crew.I know quite a few of the people in there, and I started with lots of other new people so its not bad.We're just in the middle of a refit thats expected to be done around March, so the store has been condensed down really small, and Bikehut stock isn't up to scratch.

RobinJI Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 £498.56 gone into my bank. At £5.52 an hour that works out as like 18 hours a week. Something smells like bullshit considering my contracts 14 and I do shit loads of overtime since I left college in november, and thats without even taking into account the bank holiday I worked.Only explination I can think of is that they've back taxed me since the date I left college. I'll have a look at my pay slip later. Need to speak to the manager about how they need to give me some real hours rather than all overtime, and how 5.50ish is bollocks considering I'm pretty much full time and I do about 3 peoples worth of work.Meh, rant over, I'm off to grovel to my dad and borrow some money so I can afford to pay my car insurance, let alone petrol/living for the next month.
