It’s an insane lifestyle. I remember hating our area manager when I worked in a bookshop. She seemed very proud of working a lot over the weekends and still being up at 10pm sending e-mails and organising stuff. Seemed constantly tired and like she’d snap if provoked even slightly. Also due to the nature of her job completely out of touch with what it was actually like working there, and universally despised amonst employees.

Funnily enough students bought pens and books because they needed to, much like people will shop at Aldi because they need food and like reasonable prices. Quite what her function was was a mystery to us all, I imagine it’s the same there.

Those high wages are designed to keep schmucks glued to the job because once in they’ll feel like theyre very unlikely to make that elsewhere and grind it out, but at what cost I asks ye

They are not allowed to do that: “your employer can ask you to opt out, but you can’t be sacked or treated unfairly for refusing to do so” and also “you can cancel your opt-out agreement whenever you want - even if it’s part of your employment contract”

Lot of job snobs knocking about isn’t there
just an observation

I’d be slightly concerned that they’d turn around after 5 years and go: “lol what are you on about, we don’t pay for degrees”. Obviously you’d get it in writing but still, it’d be on my mind.

I’ve signed out of that for pretty much every job I’ve ever done.

Not saying that’s a good thing mind…

I’d give it a go tbh. Double my wages, can’t possibly be double the stress.
