When the brewery I was working at decided to sell infected beer (nothing that would harm) that tasted like cardboard at 14.99 for 500ml when they knew of the problem right after it came out of the bright tank. They then proceeded to package the beer with a paragraph talking about how it is hard to get recipes right year in year out (it was a yearly offering) and how the differences each year make it worth coming back to. So I guess I was fuming for about a month and it was one of the major reason that lead me to leave.

Which brewery was that?
 

Day was going ok, then picked up Mrs R to drop her at work. 5 minutes later she phones and says she has left he ID card thing at home, "would I be a love and get it for me?"

Went back home, got it, and took that to her.

Then went home, again, to reload the van. Get to first drop, and I have left my scanner at home. So back I go.

Get to 3 rd drop, in a Cul De Sac. Come back to the van after leaving the parcel in a shed. Blocked in, by a scaffold lorry, and a recycling truck.

So if anyone lives in Portishead and thought the delivery bloke wasnt his usual chatty, smiley chap, soz. Blame ^^^ that lot.

New lads on the sales desk get given "dead lines" to call...basically people whove logged into the website, asked for more info and left a number...but its a fake number which doesnt work as they prefer to be emailed.

So, the Global Head hired this 45+ years old chap from a bigger company in another country and was pleased as punch as he managed to bring him over gloating about having hired a "superstar". Usually its just the young lads who get given the dead lines to call and after a few rings they cotton on...

Someone went and gave this bloke the dead lines....he must have called 10 in a row and started to sweat profusely...another 10 more and hes gone red...10 more and purple...

He then suddenly started smashing the heck out of the phone...totally destroyed it and just sat there...motionless.

Whole desk went quiet, i was a little away on a call but facing him on another table and watched it all unfold in disbelief whilst trying to chat with my client....bloke opposite him had some soothing words and the Global Head walks over and gives him the rest of the day off...was a friday.

He was in a company apartment so a couple of the team popped over after work to take him for a pint. Turns out he had major money issues, mrs and new baby left at home in his house where he was struggling with the mortgage so had taken this job overseas due to the high base and comms.

Monday came and he wasnt in...assumed he had been sacked for going nuclear...spoke to Global Head and he said no...bloke hadnt turned up...by Wednesday still a no show so 2 local lads were sent over to his company apartment ringing the bell and banging on the door.

Cops were called and they broke in only to find he had committed suicide.

We were told never to discuss it in the office with the staff....bad for morale.

I quit soon after.

Working in McDonalds can be ruthless
 
No matter what you trained for, no matter what you do in life, it's all about providing for ones at home. I've had days when I would have eye gouged with the coat stand. Count to 10. Then start at 1 again.
 

When they advertised the job I'd been doing for 2 years as a band 7 (NHS scale) as a band 8 new post. Took them to a grievance tribunal, lost, so retired.
