    Hey gents,

    I mentioned this briefly in another unrelated post, but would you guys do it?

    I went for a job interview at a gas station, and their policy is to get people to do a 4 hour work trial to see if you like the job and if the ‘team’ and supervisor like you etc. Would you do this based on what type of job it is? Or would you refuse to do it regardless? Just really interested in what you dudes think.

    I personally think 30 mins is more than enough to see if a person is good enough and if they like the job. 4 hours is just bulls~~~ to me. Don’t think im gunna do it. 4 hours is a long time for no pay.

    DYD.

    No, that’s what probationary periods are for, you want me to work you pay me for said work.

    It sounds like Bull S~~~ to me as well, but I guess it comes down to how much do you need the job.

    If you need the job, f~~~ it, jump through their 4 hour hoop, and get the job.

    If you have plenty of cash and resources and have the time to pick and choose jobs, and you don’t want to jump through their hoop, then pass it by.

    4 hours unpaid sounds like it should be illegal. I mean, you have a 90 day probationary period when you start full time/part time properly where they can fire you. So its stupid that they think they can mug 4 hours out of somebody for free for a minimum wage job.

    I already detested the idea of doing a gas station job again, but this just take the f~~~ing p~~~.

    It blurs the line of whether you are an actual employee.

    What if you get hurt?

    What if an armed robbery goes down?

    You’re “on the clock”, but not getting paid.

    Personally I wouldn’t do it, unless I had no other option. This is an up-front indicator the employer is a chisler. They’re the sort that’s going to make you wear a gay hat, and then deduct $50 from your first paycheck.

    No I wouldn’t and it’s probably illegal in the USA.

    No NO NO NO NO! it’s the biggest S~~~ TEST to see if you’ll submit and SWALLOW!

    Rule #1 SUCK NO DICK!

    I did that ONCE and didn’t get the job, for years I had regret for not TELLING THEM TO GO F~~~ THEMSELVES, f~~~ eating from the dog dish of humility, tell them to go f~~~ themselves or give me the number and I’ll do it for you! It’s something you’ll regret with a passion, you’ll feel like you sucked a big fat dick!

    I forgot to mention that it was a guy who i had the meeting with, 6 years older than me, who is now the manager there. I knew him from years ago when he was a supervisor. He seemed happy to see me and was really freindly to me. So theres me thinking this guy is gunna give me a break and just give me a f~~~ing job after i filled out his wanky application form. When he said ok cool, can you come for a 4 hour trial non paid, the whole meeting for me turned pear shaped, and i suddenly didn’t like him anymore.

    I realised his exterior friendliness was nothing but bulls~~~ and a front. I’m a 32 year old man with a s~~~ load of security and c~~~-stomer service experience. This guy is also looking for a supervisor, he should have just offered me both positions off the bat.

    Thats the problem with these Kiwi c~~~s. They treat your overseas experience and qualifications with disdain, and suffer from tall poppy syndrome.

    He was expecting me to start off as a grunt and even screen me before he made a conscious decision? F~~~ that. I felt f~~~ing offended to be honest.

    Hey DYD, how about looking for work on a freighter to get off that island and back to Brittan? Who knows, you may like the high seas! Cruse liner even better! Catch some opportunity from the wealthy in a relaxed environment, never know when you break out of your cage, the possibilities are endless!

    No ! Never work without getting paid, except the job is so great that it satisfied your needs like money never could.

    YES, four hours is NOTHING. At least then you have what, maybe a 50-50 chance of getting a job, and making money NOW. If the job is s~~~, you can then look in a more relaxed situation without fear of your car getting taken or not having a place to stay. Will you have time to look for other work easily assuming you are hired full time?

    It will also look better if you are already employed, when you are applying elsewhere. Can you build up some cash and start a private security company?

    I work about a third of my day to pay taxes and 20 min driving from and to work for no pay. This is probably POLICY and they have to do it for ALL employees if they do it for some. Sure it’s bulls~~~, just like I’ve been milked for technical suggestions for free in years past at interviews (I’m an engineer). And for s~~~s and giggles, when you start the trial ask the others employees if they had to do it… If they discriminate, they could be in legal trouble.

    It sounds to me like this is the QUICKEST way to get a job that starts paying NOW…

    If you desperately need a job, then just do it. Worst comes to worst, you’ve wasted half the day.

    As for New Zealand . . . yeah. We’ve defended their pussy asses for free for way, way too long. If we weren’t defending them, the ChiComms would take them in about forty-eight hours.

    I think it’s time they either accept territorial status, pursuant to statehood, or enjoy their new Chinese overlords.

    I’d be comfortable with Britain taking them back, if Britain would like to grow a pair.

    Also, it’s time for us to stop pretending that Canada is a country.
