We have to take 4 days over Christmas because the dealership is shut, I have used 15.5 days :(

Maybe after January.

This is a quote from him last week:

"Between the fag breaks, shit breaks, you aren't getting ANY work done!"

He laughed when I told him to go and fuck himself, like I was joking.

According to the BBC, In the city I live, there is around 8 unemployed people for every 1 job here.

I'd love to work/live in London, but I am a bit nervous about getting down there because I don't have a degree. I'm completely self taught.

I would like to point out that in this case, (not that I'm trying to sound overly supportive of the guy, but it's not that I hate him either), his dad fired him THREE times whilst working for him. His dad only hired him back after he had gone out and made something of himself (selling his own business for lots of money).

I do smoke, and I barely get away with 2 5 minute breaks a day.

You only get statutory sick pay when a doctors note is involved, which can only be gotten if you've taken more than two days off, aren't too sick to actually visit the GP and even then statutory sick pay is paid at minimum wage, I'm on £17k a year.

And thanks for the link!

That's really how I feel here. Just a cost. He tells me he has to justify our "team"'s existance to his dad whenever he sees him.

The graphic designer does all print and web graphic design,

The Marketing manager does all copy, liaises with the print firms and manages marketing targets and plans with all the dealerships group wide,

I do all the web stuff.

If there's a car dealership that doesn't need to market or advertise to people to sell cars, I haven't seen it.
