TDB Enterprises AKA Cobra How to Loose your Money & Sanity London England, United Kingdom
Don't be fooled by the Porsche, It took me a while to find out all that was on FINANCE (He doesn't even own it).
The 'nice' apartment: RENTED.
The funny jokes stolen from Bill Hicks an American.
This is my story, I suppose it all started when I read the advert in the Evening Standard Newspaper; 'CRAZY PEOPLE WANTED'.
I didn't think I was crazy when I started but sure as hell was by the time I left.
I phoned up the advert; the girl who answered was very vague. She told me to come straight away as there was only a limited amount of jobs available (Bullshit), so I could speak to the manager straight away.
At the interview I was informed there existed a 'TRAINEE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM' which would enable me to be running my own LIMITED COMPANY within 6 months, on the condition I WORKED HARD!!
So WORK HARD I did, getting in to work at 7.30 every morning and not leaving till 8.30 at night. I couldn't believe it, the manager was like my new best friend. Buying me drinks at the local pub (I didn't realise to start with, why he kept disappearing to the toilet all the time). Because he was sniffling all the time, naive me just assumed he had a cold!!!!
Within a month I found out he had promoted several people to run their own companies, but only one of them was now trading, the others had either quit or were back in his office with less than 2 people on their teams. Needless to say, I couldn't last much longer having been feed all this s**t and going out every day selling Expensive Gas & Electricity for 150 per week.
From this acute wage, he expected me to pay for any new recruits, Lunch and a few beers on a Friday, because it was helping me build MY business, in reality help pay for the finance on his Porsche.
I have never seen a company with such a high turn over of staff. They even had a permanent sign saying interviewees this way.
Well I couldn't be treated like a 5 year old anymore.
Every time I was late, I got Sulked at by the manager.
If I didn't ring the bell, guess what, I got sulked at.
If I didn't hire my juicy observation, I was sulked at.
