“Reed offices in Edinburgh”

written by neil51sqdn on 22/07/2013

Contacted Reed initially about a vacancy that I had seen advertised online, without even seeing my CV I was told by a bloke in their office that I couldn't do the job bcos I didn't have a certain qualification that they wanted to work with children in a care home environment . There was no mention of this in the job spec when i read it . After a brief chat with this Numpty, I mean bloke he said they had a contract starting with Edinburgh council in November 2012 , I went in for an interview with Reed and was told contract was starting soon, November came and went so i phoned reed, they spoke about Edinburgh council not being able to start the contract and it would be December before they we're ready to take me n, then it became January then it was Feb and in March I got a phone call asking me to attend some training with Edinburgh council, I was told that I'd be payed for this but found that would be difficult as reed had never taken my bank details from me. So I attended the training oh,and before going to the training I only phoned reed nearly every day for about 6 or 7 working days prior to the training just to get an email sent to me with the address of the training venue, on atleast 5 occasions I asked a woman called Vicky who worked in the Edinburgh office to email me the time and location of the venue, each time I spoke with her she said she would do it straight away and ver hned, I fg ithe morning of the day of the training and wasnearly late for it bcos of their incompetence. I never got payed for the training and I'm still waiting to this day , then the crtinhe cheekto add my phne number to their data base which I never gave them permission for and keep getting txt for all sorts of,pathetic shifts at care homes in Edinburgh, at no time did i ever say to them I would ever work in a care home . 2 members of their staff that i dealt with inparticular, were the most incompetent cretinous people I have ever had the misfortune to deal with .
I am ex military and all I can say is that if these 2 ppl had ever worked with me they would have had their backsides kicked but they would never have got into the Airforce in the first place. Monkeys could do a better job.
