Are Halfords in the s**t then? I know they were a few years back but i've heard recently they've just bought out Nationwide Autocentres and going to turn them into Halfords fast fit centres for batteries, wiper blades, tyres, exhausts, brakes, e.t.c

out of all the companies I've worked for Chevron were probably the best in terms of freebies and training oppertunities, but the clawback (days you have to work extra before you get paid any extra - mine was 16 days!) was a pain. I spent a week in Norway on a training course and didn't get paid for it - but made sure I partied hard every night on the company credit card :happy2:

BP are really good if you end up on the right platfrom. I've been on 3 now and they've all been great, but I'd never work for them onshore.

I'm with Shell now and I can't say I like it much. They never spend money on anything non-production related, I'm constantly doing extra time without overtime - or even a thank you from the powers that be :ohmy:

It's gets you out to see the world though. I've got some amazing party stories out of it all :thumbsup:

Job centre here i come 2 weeks today will be my last day of a dead end job and then the start of a better future i think its the best reall it to laid back and im getting lazy with it so this will be my kick start to a new life

One of the things they should have said, is that you are allowed time off to go for interviews/job seeking etc. without them deducting it as holidays, or saying you have to make the time up.

Just give them notice when you want to go.

As they say, one door closes, another one opens.

:wave:

Lame!! No more Mg meets in the car park :(
Joe did tell me hes handing in his notice in 2 weeks and said only you, mike and I no.
Time to give your self an extra bonus and fill the car with bits ;)

I wouldn't be a food critic though, you might have to taste test a blue waffle :whistle:
