Tech-driven environment but expect long hours - Shift Manager Relay Technology (UK) Employee Review

nothing, i’d say the pay but i didnt give it enough of a chance to get a full wage

before i start i'd like to clarify i have worked at amazon, DHL, yun express, all look like dream jobs compared to this. I went for a shift, a training shift at nottingham ng15. The trainer was nice at first, but when we got to scanning, he appointed another regular worker to look over us and our scan rates. 300 an hour is the rate which is 1 every 12 seconds, me and another trainee timed ourselves, we did on average a parcel and bag scan every 5 seconds, The other worker looking over us kept telling us to speed up just because we were talking. we even tested it by speeding up when talking and slowing down when silent, she only approached us when we sped up but were talking and said we are too slow. The trainee with me left, he had enough, the trainer then came back to me after hearing the other trainee complain and explained scan rates, i said to him is it 300 an hr, he said yes, i said i did double that (he agreed that i passed) then he said "scan rate isnt how fast you scan a parcel, its how fast you move your body" thats when i had enough, its very clear that they will change the rules based on not making their older workers look bad, regardless of if you talk, or do whatever, if you hit over 300 an hour you pass. and i dia, but they still said we were too slow. Trainer then started swearing at me when i proved him wrong, so i left the building. Very toxic
