After all, your lot practically invented the idea of dressing up in stupidly impractical and over the top outfits. Hats in particular. 😏MattFalle said:
to a certain extent, yeah - its all short term pain long term gain but like anything, if you're not playing the game (or in our case, your face doesn't fit), although you can be physically the fittest person ever and great at whatever, you'll get a standing fail, my mob's equiv of not getting a job because you just aren't hitting it from the begining.johngti said:
Isn’t getting into your firm more about one’s ability to beast oneself (and to be breasted by others) over many weeks without crying or dying?MattFalle said:I think it boils down to this:
dress how you want but if I think you're lazy/arrogant/can't be bothered to play the work game at such an early stage then nah fam, you're not for us, ypu're obviously too cool for school
We are v v specialised and v v good at what we do, so why get roped up with someone that is going to cause a rucus and mean you divert time from what you are actually meant to be doing?
it boils down to why should you give a role to someone who can't bearsed to even dress up to talk to you?
Wear the clothes
Jump through the hoops
Get what you want

When you say "your lot"do you mean Italians, the military or the Italian military?

I was thinking just the military, but you may have a point.

Stones and glass houses comes to mind.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Flat flooding is a good one.
It's flooded, then it needs to be fixed, then the fixtures need to be fixed, etc1 -

Arrange it outside working hours e.g. 8am. Alternatively at lunchtime.ddraver said:Whilst you're all here....
Opinions on getting time off for interview? Just screw the old place and call in sick..?
Suddenly the fish are biting again! Not used to this 🥴
What job are you now looking at?0 -
1 in Shipping/logistics (which seem very keen but I think they might have been sold a good story by the recruiter)
Several 'Resort Manager' type jobs but managing cornish holidays rather than busses - They ve obviously exploded since May 17thWe're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

I would take leave if you can. Clean hands and all that.
People will probably guess either way.0 -
We all work in different sectors. In mine, the time is agreed to be mutually convenient and is either early, lunch or late.First.Aspect said:

Mine too, but most aren't. Certainly earlier in my career that was the case. I've never understood that personally.TheBigBean said:

Someone said "good luck" as I walked out, they got A Big Thumb of Joy.
Got back, got changed, went back to being A Hero.
I suppose it depends who you work with..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

Yes someone I worked with got caught interviewing (seen suited and booted in the lobby of a rival firm) near bonus time.MattFalle said:

I once met the guy I shared an office with on a station platform, when I was conspicuously wearing a suit. Seeing as I normally cycled to work then changed into jeans, was tricky to explain.rick_chasey said:

I've often considered the opposite strategy. Starting to nip out of the office in a suit with really poor excuses. It might make my colleagues think that I will leave.rick_chasey said:

I signed into a rival company for an interview once and saw one of my bosses signed in just above. Luckily it was from a meeting the day before!0

Years ago I had a normal job in a law firm and at the same was knocked off my motorbike, so time off and compo claim that was processed by a rival firm.
I had to go into the rival firm for a compo meeting one day so, being old fashioned, wore trousers, shirt and a jacket. Bit square I know, but hey, its all about showing politeness.
No interview, just a compo meeting.
I got a phone call a couple of days later asking me to go to my employer where I was shown to HR and asked why I was at the other firm, why I was dressed smart and was I having an interview because I had been spotted and grassed up up.
My responses were have a guess considering I was on crutches, because I was, no and I added that if they couldn't trust me then they could shove my job up their backsides.
My resignation followed the same day, started work at a new firm 3 weeks later.
Moral of the story: they don't own you, you just work for them before you find somewhere else..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.
