Time to #nameandshame these dreadful firms!
I had poor treatment, even when I was volunteering, at a charity-
Left in a fdingy room, to do a mass of clothes steaming.. no one checked how you were, or mentioned breaks etc..
One morning of that was enough.breathe in, breathe out- You're alive! Everything else is a bonus, right? RIGHT??0 -

A mate did 3 months work trail at a DIY store/builders merchants and did not get a job after it. Neither did the person before him or the person after him... See the pattern!0
