Ex-Bluelighter
Nice, Kenny. :D
Would you like to tell my boss that I'm stealing from him by using Bluelight during working hours? Because he certainly wouldn't agree.
If it were adversely affecting my productivity to come on here and make a few pithy remarks and dick jokes on company time then you'd have a point. The fact is it doesn't, so your only objection would appear to be a moral one, which just ain't good enough. Would you have bar staff stand and look solemn between pulling pints? Would you have checkout staff perfecting their barcode-scanning technique on a slow afternoon? What the fuck would you have the bingo caller do?
I'm not performing surgery, or any other duties which would require my full concentration at all times. If something needs to be done, it gets done promptly, and that's what matters to any decent employer. It helps if you're charming, sure, but don't hate me for that.
I understand it sounds bad if you're desperate for work, but I can guarantee that 99% of the people who are prepared to judge folk like me would do exactly the same given the opportunity. The other 1% are just out-and-out liars.
Don't be so hasty to judge when you're not in possession of the full facts!
Do people actually go come on here when they're meant to be working? I wouldn't dream of doing that when I worked as in a way it's stealing. You're being paid to work not go on the internet n there are people struggling to find work.
It's one thing that makes my blood boil.
I assumed that people would be here in the evenings or during lunch.
It's wrong on so many levels.
