.... Is it possible the office is in Southeast London but the actual work is North and West?
This is how field service jobs are written in my experience, yes.
Unrelated but this is literally the first time in my life I've seen an actual 9-5 job, I only ever see 8-5 or 9-6
That extra hour of wage theft is why it's the most prevalent kind of theft.
✨️unpaid lunch hourrrrrrr✨️
remember to be back by 12:30 for the standup at 12:45
you should have finished eating by then
The only good thing about the security industry in my country is all breaks are paid. However if there is a security emergency on your break you need to drop everything and sort it, as these things tend to be time sensitive.
That said do NOT get into the security industry, workers are treated terribly by the public and higher ups, if you can imagine.
That seems like a US thing? All Nordic Europe countries 8-16 is the US version of 9-5. 8-17 (9-6) would be a 4 days a week job hitting the normal 37 hour work week.
Not all Nordic countries. The main standard work weeks in Sweden are 40 hours for office work employees. Our collective union agreements for most office work places I know of agree on at least half hour unpaid lunch and at least two 15 minute paid breaks each work day. Every place I worked for had flexible hours, which meant I could choose between turning up between 7 or 9, as long as I didn’t miss meetings and worked 40 hours a week at an average, based on monthly calculations. And any overtime was compensated with double time off and/or monetary overtime compensation.
This will of course be different for shift work or nurse/doctor positions. But I’ve never worked an 8-16 job.
8-16 each day is 40 hours not counting the breaks. (Counting them would make it 37)
So do Swedish people work from 8-16, 9-5 or do office workers work from 8-17, 9-6 everyday (inkluding Friday)?
I have family in Malmö and that is not the case for them. Can't speak in the standard for Sweden but I worked closely with Norwegians and they had the same 8-16 (8-15 Friday) in Oslo as we did in in Denmark(KBH).
It's because they reckon on 8-hour days but then under UK law they have to give you two 15-minute breaks and one 30-minute lunch. So they decide that they don't like that so you've got to work the hours back so they add an extra hour on and then claim that your break times don't count.
But the problem with that is the only reason that I'm having a break in the town rather than at my house is because of all the other hours I'm doing around it. So really they should be paying for it. Capitalism is going to capitalism.
My favorite is when the title says remote or local to you, but then the body of the posting says you would be required to relocate and that it was intentionally posted in multiple cities to reach a wider audience.
If I wanted to work in Minnesota, I would have searched for jobs in Minnesota.
why does everyone have to have "excellent" skills? just logically not everyone can have excellent skills, or there wouldn't be excellent skills. i very much doubt everyone currently working there also has equally "excellent" skills. you can't just say you have to be perfect. i fucking hate this shit
In fairness to requiring "excellence", I'd imagine most professionals have excellent skills in their field compared to the average person.
What I hate more are the entry level jobs that will be like that. Like bro it's an entry level job and you're expecting people to have a super deep understanding makes no sense. Like I get it's just marketing and a way to lower the number of applicants to get just the really good ones but it makes it so much harder to figure out what level of skill a job is looking for if they all say they want experts with certain skills or tools.
It’s just marketing.
It’s like how a 7 or 8 out of 10 movie should mean it’s really great, but actually means it was just “ok”.
We like the idea that we are getting something above average, which ends up with a skewed idea of what average is.
It's not even that. If they ask for average they get trash. If they ask for excellent then trash doesn't apply and they get average
I hate the ones that are listed as remote, but when you read deeper it says remote - in x location, if there was a way to filter those out of searches, it would be convenient.
Is that the ones where they claim it's remote but really they need you in the office 3 days a week?
My favorite is the remote - location jobs. Almost none of them are actually remote, they just want more people to apply so their quota will be met.
This is a huge problem. During my several months of job searching that drove me nuts. Completely different stated in the US. Someone’s opposite side of the country. I would report them to LinkedIn and LinkedIn said there’s nothing wrong. Fucked up LinkedIn
I once made the mistake of saying I was willing to relocate, like to a different city or something, and they took that to mean anywhere on the planet. And all the jobs they were asking me about when weird places like Saudi Arabia, and it wasn't even well paid.
But there were probably benefits like if you work hard they might give you your passport back. Maybe.
That sounds like a good way to get trafficked lol
Search: part time jobs
Search: work from home
Search: job at a place
Search: one way international flight ticket Boeing planes only
All of these. Also...language: English *Mandarion/French/etc required
Is this a jobs website? Report it?
I have to use my hands to finger?! F this nonsense, I'm out.
Toe fuck or get fucked.
Hey at least it is in the same city, I used to get ones for 2000 Km away.
WTF are demonstrable analytical skills?
The ability to call out BS or contradictory requirements in a job posting.
You're hired!
Sounds like the head office is in SE London but you'll be inspecting areas on the NW side for fire safety adherence, right?
If so, it isn't like the businesses can bring their whole business down to the office for inspection. I bet "Steve" has the area close to the office but "Jane" just quit and they need someone to cover her old area.
This reminds me of the description of why field positions are listed under remote jobs to often. Yes, the reason I was searching for remote jobs was so I can travel to your remote locations all throughout the day, not because my vehicle has 230,000 miles on it and I can't afford to replace it at the moment.
This isn't just super common either. It's the fucking norm, and the guys who are deviating from the norm are the ones who just plain don't tell you where they are.
You have to go weast and Nouth
