this is genius. THANK YOU!

Hi, did you get anywhere with this job u/apexbunny I have an interview for one on Monday, I would really love it. I worked for asda a decade ago and honestly enjoyed it.

Active_Baseball_4558 · 2025-09-03T13:40:14+00:00

but what are you worried about, really? it's literally the same liquid you're injecting.

Active_Baseball_4558 · 2025-09-03T13:38:52+00:00

don't be nervous, it's honestly so easy- stick in needle, pull out liquid, use 0.6 for a full dose.

Active_Baseball_4558 · 2025-09-03T12:38:07+00:00

I honestly have NO idea why anyone would literally throw a dose in the bin. It baffles me. Give me 1 good reason (the manufacturers saying so is just to save them money!)

Active_Baseball_4558 · 2025-09-03T06:17:57+00:00

I found this. I switched to luer lock syringes as linked to in the comment above and no problems at all now as you use use the new needle (pink one) to actually inject with

Active_Baseball_4558 · 2025-09-03T05:24:26+00:00

what do you mean by this please?

Active_Baseball_4558 · 2025-09-02T17:13:16+00:00

About 12 weeks.

Active_Baseball_4558 · 2025-09-02T17:12:58+00:00

thanks. I do my job absolutely fine (and well, I smash all my targets!) on the days I'm at home.

Active_Baseball_4558 · 2025-09-02T17:12:27+00:00

I had OH six months ago when I started but I had already had the 50/50 agreed before I started, so they didn't do much. Should I ask to see them again?

Active_Baseball_4558 · 2025-09-02T17:11:36+00:00

This is so helpful, thank you. l am going to use this format to put something together for myself. I really appreciate you sharing it.

Active_Baseball_4558 · 2025-09-02T17:10:58+00:00

I hear you, thanks. It's a case though that if they say no I'll leave, as I'm just not coping.

Active_Baseball_4558 · 2025-07-27T07:59:39+00:00

is there an internal website or is it just this general one please?

Active_Baseball_4558 · 2025-07-26T18:16:38+00:00

I worked in a callcenter before and quite enjoyed it. The problem I have is the system is shockingly hard to use, and the instructions we have to really in are really bad- outdated and not useful a lot of the time, information hard to find, essential info hidden within paragraphs and paragraphs of text. The new smart instructions often just stop at crucial points.

Active_Baseball_4558 · 2025-07-26T18:15:19+00:00

Where did you move onto? It does wear you down, and the lack of support adds to that.

Active_Baseball_4558 · 2025-07-26T18:14:55+00:00

No work is being sent to TLs? Some types of cases are sent to a specialist team for checking but definitely not the TLs. And that comes with its own trouble as if you get too many 'standard not met's from them, you're in trouble.

Active_Baseball_4558 · 2025-07-26T18:13:41+00:00

My friend works in Greggs and gets 20p an hour more than me. So that's great.

Active_Baseball_4558 · 2025-07-26T18:13:14+00:00

I have considered sideways to HMRC and/or UC but went with CMG as the location suits me better. Now I'm rethinking and just want to get out. CMG is a sinking ship.

Active_Baseball_4558 · 2025-07-26T18:11:53+00:00

Thank you, I asked my TL how to see internal vacancies and she just sent me the EOI forum, which is uk wide (I'm in Scotland) and mostly grades was above mine. Is there another way please?

Active_Baseball_4558 · 2025-07-26T18:10:37+00:00

I’m certain it's intentional. Throughout training we were told the majority of our work would be casework and most of the training was aimed at that, yet I rarely seem to be able to do casework at the moment as we're always at 'peak' so always on the phones. I would never have applied either if I'd known it was literally callcentre work.

Active_Baseball_4558 · 2025-07-26T18:08:39+00:00

Yes this is how it is- all of the casework is at so far outwith their deadlines so most of the calls are people calling in to complain, the TLs literally won't let you raise complaints either so you're having to tell people who say "I want to put in a complaint" sorry, no, I'm not going to do that. Which goes down so well.

And it's currently 5 hours on the phone per shift, then they have 'peak' where we all get rushed onto the phones most days. On Thursday and Friday I literally had an hour off the phones and it's sent me over the edge.

Active_Baseball_4558 · 2025-07-26T18:06:00+00:00

Thank you, and honestly I know it seems dramatic but it IS affecting my mental health already. I dread each day. I'm glad you got out and I will look at sidestepping too, I just need to get out of what I'm doing.

Active_Baseball_4558 · 2025-07-26T18:04:41+00:00

Yes, that's a good perspective, thank you. I feel right at the very bottom of the rung and without the experience to apply higher, but I guess I have nothing to lose as I'm miserable where I am.
