    … Is it possible the office is in Southeast London but the actual work is North and West?

        I love that you reversed it, when it should be “how terrible do Americans have it where we have to commute so far just to get to work”

    Unrelated but this is literally the first time in my life I’ve seen an actual 9-5 job, I only ever see 8-5 or 9-6

            But do you get paid for 8 hour days or 9 hour days?

            8 to 5 is 9 hours. They don’t get to not pay you for your lunch break.

              You get paid for the month. You arent paid by the hour, you are paid for working for them.

              Its a different mindset

                OK so next time you’ve done your work for the day, try going home early. Do let us know how it goes.

                You aren’t paid by the hour as long as it suits the company. As soon as it suits you, you’re damn well going to sit there until 5pm staring at the ceiling if you have to, THEN you can go home.

      That extra hour of wage theft is why it’s the most prevalent kind of theft.

          The only good thing about the security industry in my country is all breaks are paid. However if there is a security emergency on your break you need to drop everything and sort it, as these things tend to be time sensitive.

          That said do NOT get into the security industry, workers are treated terribly by the public and higher ups, if you can imagine.

    My favorite is the remote - location jobs. Almost none of them are actually remote, they just want more people to apply so their quota will be met.

      This is a huge problem. During my several months of job searching that drove me nuts. Completely different stated in the US. Someone’s opposite side of the country. I would report them to LinkedIn and LinkedIn said there’s nothing wrong. Fucked up LinkedIn

    Sounds like the head office is in SE London but you’ll be inspecting areas on the NW side for fire safety adherence, right?

    If so, it isn’t like the businesses can bring their whole business down to the office for inspection. I bet “Steve” has the area close to the office but “Jane” just quit and they need someone to cover her old area.

      This reminds me of the description of why field positions are listed under remote jobs to often. Yes, the reason I was searching for remote jobs was so I can travel to your remote locations all throughout the day, not because my vehicle has 230,000 miles on it and I can’t afford to replace it at the moment.

    why does everyone have to have “excellent” skills? just logically not everyone can have excellent skills, or there wouldn’t be excellent skills. i very much doubt everyone currently working there also has equally “excellent” skills. you can’t just say you have to be perfect. i fucking hate this shit
