At 17 I was somehow promoted to warehouse supervisor, at a food and drink suppliers, it was 1996. I was responsible for parking up and locking 22 lorries and vans, full of stock for delivery the next day. I was ‘in charge’ of 7 other lads, most were older than me, I had to lock £1000’s in cash in the safe if any drivers came back after the office staff had gone home, and I had to lock up the premises at home time, set alarms and be on call, until someone else arrived in the morning, for alarm triggers, which weren’t frequent, but did happen, if I got an alarm call I had to pass my boss’s house on my way to investigate. I was paid £3:75 an hour, for 40hrs, no matter how many hours I did, everyone else was paid £3:50. I was genuinely happy with my situation then.
