GREEDY COMPANIES
Posted Mar 2, 2011 by anonymous | 108 views | 0 comments
i HAVE JUST BEEN THROUGH MY 5TH JOB IN THE UK IN THE ONE YEAR SINCE I LEFT SOUTH AFRICA (AFTER 32 YEARS) AND DECIDED TO COME BACK TO A 'SAFER MORE DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY) IN MY LAST POSITION I EXPLAINED THAT THEY WERE NOT LIKELY TO RECIEVE A REFERENCE FROM COMPANIES WHERE I HAD 'WHISTLEBLOWN' BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT COMPIANT TO EVEN THE MOST BASIC ETHICS!!THEY LET ME RELOCATE, START THE POSITION AND WHEN THEY RECIEVED A VERBAL ADVERSE REFERENCE (NEEDLESS TO SAY THE PERSON GIVING THIS REFERENCE WISHED TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS) FIRE ME AND CAN GET AWAY WITH IT BECAUSE I HAVE NOT BEEN IN CONTINUAL EMPLOYMENT FOR A YEAR!! AS IT HAPPENS I DON'T BELIEVE I WOULD HAVE STAYED WITH THE COMPANY WHEN SOME ARROGANT MAN WALKED INTO THE TRAINING SESSIONS TO ANNOUNCE TO ALL THE NEW TRAINEES THAT WE WERE THERE BECAUSE WE ARE GREEDY. I AM NOT NOR EVER HAVE BEEN GREEDY. I HAVE JUST ENJOYED MY JOB, PUT IN EXTRA HOURS, GONE THE EXTRA MILE AND ENJOYED AN INCOME HIGHER THAN AVERAGE. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE COMPANY AWD HOME FINANCE, DO NOT WANT SOMEONE IN THIER COMPANY WITH WITH A STRONG SENSE OF ETHICS AS THE FERRARI, LAMBOUGINI, AUSTEN MARTIN AND OTHER SUCH CARS IN THE CAR PARK CLEARLY SHOW THAT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE, THE PUBLIC ARE PAYING HORRENDOUS FEES FOR FINANCIAL ADVICE. HAD THIER INTERVIEWERS (I HAD 2) BEEN LISTENING TO WHAT I WAS TELLING THEM ABOUT MY ETHICS ETC, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ONE OF THIER 'CHOSEN ONES' THERE TO BE BRAINWASHED INTO RIPPING PEOPLE OFF AND HAD I NOT BEEN SO NAIVE I WOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN THE JOB WHICH HAS COST ME BOTH TIME AND MONEY. SO, WHAT HAPPENED TO ENGLAND SINCE I LEFT IN 1974 ??? SEEMS LIKE A NEW BREED HAS TAKEN OVER, THAT 'GREED RULES' AND THERE IS NO ROOM IN THE ESTATE AGENCY OR FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY FOR DECENT HONEST CONSULTANTS.!!!
