Hi all, I’ve been feeling lost and isolated with myself in regard to getting a job. I finished my MSc last year and got myself onto a trainee scheme as a PM. As I accepted the offer, they noted that they thought it would be a good idea to get some site experience as it was a construction PM role. I agreed and wanted to gain that experience. It ended up being a 6 month on site placement. I would do a lot of busy work for the site agent, as well as unload deliveries and general labouring activities. I wanted to prove myself as I thought I’d put in the graft and people would start putting a face to the name. At the 6 month mark the project ended and I was due to have a meeting for a handover (or so I thought). Bearing in mind, up to this point the directors have given me nothing but good reviews and the site agent was always very pleasant with me. Long story short, instead of a meeting I got a call saying that budget overspend etc couldn’t allow them to bring me on. Because of the 6 month mark I didn’t really have any leg to stand on. On my last day, a QS, who was leaving, told me this is what the company does. Essentially, promise this scheme and then get people to do some labour for 6 months and then bin them off. Currently I’m driving a van for Sainsburys and don’t really know what to do. I have a BA and MSc and just feel like a 24 year old failure.

Hi all, applied to several roles within my local council. Heard nothing for several weeks, other than the application has been sent to hiring manager.

After closing I reached out and heard nothing. Two months later I received a response and it was to say that my name was in contention (bit weird).

A month later there was a more senior position so I thought I would apply to see if it followed the same suit. The recruiter sent me a rejection email, then a successful email and then an apology that the rejection was a mistake.

Do these people get a kick out of doing these things?

Overall, I’ve not heard anymore further from those roles and it’s become quite laughable more than anything.

Hi all, I’m a driver and had a customer today with a mobility issue obviously needing help. I have absolutely no issue helping out and unloading where ever is needed. I probably do this a few times a shift. However, I do feel bad because the customers house absolutely stunk to the point where I couldn’t get past the porch without gagging. I would have thrown up if I had walked in there. I ended up shoving some blue roll up my nose and using the excuse that I can’t stop sneezing. Only bs I could think of. Feel guilty about doing that.
