Assosia have removed people from their list in the past for breach of confidentiality, so if people who take this seriously are called jobsworths and snitches, then so be it. At least we are professional in our approach.

Whoever it was that informed Assosia, thank you and well done. I wish I'd have thought of it myself.

Hmmm... double bluff?

There wasn't any breach of confidentiality, which is the point that some of us are trying to make, but at least I know one person on here who I know not to trust in future.

Agreed, Assosiasnitch - I think we're usually very good on not even mentioning their name on here so I think whoever told Assosia was being a little heavy handed. I see where Assosia are coming from though as their work is so desperately secretive that they can't afford for any industry people to find out what they're doing.

I missed out on all the snitching, it always gets exciting when I've not been on for a few days! All I can say was... It wasn't me!

Some little brown noses thought they'd rush off and tell Kay that people were talking on the forums. Why? Because they think they'll score brownie points and get first dibs on Assossia jobs in the future. Well good for them. Do the same people rush off and tell Gap or TNS or Retail Eyes or any of the other companys? No, of course not. The other companys don't seem to have the same level of brown noses that Assossia employ.

Agreed. Otherwise what is the point in telling on someone? It's a bit like kids "telling" on other kids to try and make themselves look good when all most people seemed to be doing was trying to get in touch with others doing the job to ask some straightforward questions. Nobody mentioned any brand or store.

Assossia have no way of knowing who I am on here and that's the way I like it!

On a lighter note...

I feel sorry for the staff of a certain Dry Cleaners somewhere in the north of England as they've got 3 Mystery Shops due shortly according to RE....

Ha! I remember shopping that brand near me - I thought brilliant - I actually have some suit trousers that need cleaning as I'd spilled tomato ketchup on the fly a week before and hadn't had chance to take them. Downside, rather embarrassingly, when I got there and had to point out the stain, it'd gone white - very hard not to want to die when the woman's frowning at you thinking you'd been naughty on your work trousers

Close but no cigar! It's funny how you can hide on here as anything and even pretend to be a woman innit?
