I liked the ‘uniform provided’, ‘staff car parking’. It’s part time but gets straight down to ‘bonus, bonus, bonus’, ‘overtime available’, ie full time hire and fire, non pensionable pay but you get a shiny uniform and get to be called a ‘colleague’. Also spot the spelling mistakes.It's deffo a cleaning job.

Not a job title, but:
When the company I worked for sacked people it was called de-recruiting!
My first job during high school was as 'stock boy' in a large department store. After sharing a spliff on the loading dock, my mate James and I decided that we'd rather be referred to as 'merchandise expediters' so we went down the hall to the telephone operator lady's closet and asked her to substitute 'merchandise expediter' for 'stock boy' when paging us. One of the top brass pricks upstairs took offence and told her to revert back to 'stock boy', upon which my mate James went straight up to the offices and told said manager that we wouldn't be responding to 'stock boy' pages, and, if he had any ideas about firing us all we'd be unionized members of the local OCAW (Oil Chemical and Atomic Workers) before dawn. Of course, after another spliff on the dock we had this brilliant idea of forming our own MECW (Merchandise Expediter Cart Workers) and pooling the union fees for group pot purchases. This latter brain wave never bore fruit (nor 'buds', as it were) but we remained victorious as 'merchandise expediters'.
Point taken, Mike. Of course, I would have known that had I not been out performing manual labour when I should have been doing my homework.B.t.w., ' revert back' is tautology.
The employment regs vary by province over here. In Ontario, for example, one could deliver the newspapers (which I did for a short period of time) starting from 12y.o. (IIRC, I was 13), however, the hours worked were not to coincide with those of school. At 16y.o. one could leave school and go to work full-time in any position that would have one. My town was full of oil and chemical plants that were only too happy to oblige having H.S. dropouts as unskilled labourers. All very high-tech with very little room for unskilled labourers these days; the 'kids' I teach data mining and analysis to there are all freshly minted engineers.Was it normal to gain employment (presumably during hol's) whilst still at school over there? I can't recall any such provision here in England, apart from paper boy or unofficial casual work. Had a feeling there was a a statutory age here below which you couldn't be formally employed.

Do the off and on cancel such that on balance you got laid?Once, I got laid-off, but subsequently the company decided not to lay me off. When asked, "didn't you get laid off," I'd respond, "yes, but then I got laid on."
