My patience, commitment, servitude and compliance in adhering to all pointless ‘arse covering’ management bollox!
There you go!
But in all seriousness, especially for the YOUNG Newbies that don’t have experience of the ‘Corporate’ world. You are just a number, a bum on a seat to do X,Y & Z for the firm. The manager probably only cares about ticking his or her boxes, and these are passes down from powers on high. Who quite frankly are so disconnected from the actual job, they don’t really have a clue about it, or the consequences of the bollox they enforce…
As such, you as an ‘employee’ have a choice to make:-
Are you the type of person who can disconnect you brain, good will, and personality for the hours you spend at work, thinking only of the end goal of earning a crust… Or are you the type of person who wants enjoyment and satisfaction from what you do, i.e. feeling part of a team and working for the great good?
Well if you’re the latter then corporate life is going to be a struggle for you, and maybe a smaller ‘personal touch’ firm is the job for you…
Yep. I can confirm that the ’ corporate ’ trucking companies are comparable to the biggest fly infested pile of dung you are ever likely to stumble across.
I, like Beezle, am equipped with a reasonably decent brain. You will not need one for the above mentioned manure.
All they want is arse sucking yes men and box tickers. Enjoy…
Passed my c+e Feb last year got a job which was a mixture of warehouse class 2 and once a fortnight out in the artic . At the beginning of this year started working for a local haulage firm as a night driver really as hunter between 2 sites but for the long Monday to Friday hours over 30k earnings and home at the end of each shift .
48 years old when I passed both licences .
So there is work out there for the older person you just have to put up with a bit of crap before you get the right job , no different in any other walk of life .
That interview HR ■■■■■■■■ is simply astounding. I can’t say what I’d do if faced with that now… perhaps we will find at the end of January next year!
Before I got my current job, I politely walked out of three interviews that presented me with similar ■■■■■■■■. If a company thinks that’s a reasonable recruitment tool for someone who will be working exclusively with computers, I’m definitely not going to fit into that environment. I then got a normal interview at another big corporate, and subsequently spent a year trying to prevent my brain from running out of my ears in that place.
Found another job, small firm, interview in a pub over a beer and have been there for the last seven years or so.

Ask Beaver, he knows!
I have worked for corporate and family companies over the years the corporate ones can be ok but it depends on the management. The family companies seem to be the best and have a more realistic approach. What was odd the other day it was a family company with a manager giving it large because he started off as a van driver with the firm. Well …that’s how I felt anyway.
