Apologies for starting this thread and then being quiet.
I have been really ill over the weekend with a very very nasty stomach bug.

I am slightly concerned at the Hartlepool Garland call centre report. I have seen the call centre there and it looks like a nice place to work. Perhaps it is made up.

What interests me is whether or not the staff are treat with dignity, I have heard of similar stories to the one form Hartlepool and worse.
Now I will say this, if Garland does treat staff like that they will not get me to work there in a month of sundays, however if they are fair and treat people with respect then I will gladly work there.
I do have concern over working in a call centre, I dont really view myself as the type of person that can sit all day on the phone talking to people. However if it is technical then I feel I may be able to adapt myself and learn a new skill (how to sound bright and cheery when all I wanna do is choke the living **** out of someone).
Wages really dont bother me, its the shift patterns that concern me. I have a life outside of work, and having to work till 11:30pm or after is not going to suit me that much. (I dont want to end up living with my partner and not ever seeing her).
