Employers taking the ****.....

[surveyor]

An update....

He's still there and seems happy. He ended up at the MD's NYE party last night after the management who were having it made a decision to invite him - we live around the corner apparently.

I'm not completely convinced that this was not for amusement value, but it seems he had fun, and they think well of him.

He's struggling to budget, but he'll get there.

Why would it be for their amusement?

He's a bit daft and still developing common sense and always been the class Clown.. He apparently turned up 15 minutes after being invited having climbed over the gate with a pack of 4 red stripe.

Having said all of this he can connect with pretty much anyone, which is a valuable asset.

Are you sure he's not just stupid?

Sounds horrible, but this may be the case. What does he enjoy doing? Or is good at?

Like all people he's got strengths and weaknesses.

Exams are not his thing, and he is gullible to say the least. But teach him something that he takes in and he will connect with people. I think he will be a good salesman, providing the product or concept is not advanced.

His employers see him as Customer Service and it's a role that he seems to do well in both enjoying and actually sorting out the issue, while retaining the customers.
