scentral   10 #1 Posted March 30, 2007 Replied to an ad in the Star 3 or 4 weeks ago for a graphic designer. From almost the outset it wa obviously a brain-picking exercise (they needed a website). After 2 weeks of almost constant abuse, nit-picking, working thru every lunchtime and a full weekend's work, I was given the old "I don't think this is working" crap and dismissed. What makes it worse is that I turned down another (proper) job to work for this circus. Can't see me getting the £500+ I'm owed (do I have any rights after just 2 weeks?) So if you see any ads for Graphic Designer (and they also constantly need sales people as they last about a day) with a 01246 prefix, be very afraid.

I'm afraid they're ....er.....well known for their antics..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
