Working in the Outhouse what to expect

Post by syed127157 »

I have got a job at the Croydon Outhouse from 2nd Dec to 24th Dec in Croydon.

I was wondering what is an outhouse, how many workers will be working there, is the job hard and can you talk to other people whilst your working?

Also how many hours are you actually paid for the 8hr shifts?

Outhouse is another building/warehouse where work is undertaken - generally used just at busy times (Christmas).

No idea how many people will be working there.

Work in general is simple, straightforward and relatively easy.

You may be able to chat to other people - depends what you are doing and how much machinery noise is around,

How many times do you want the hours paid question answering? Think this is the third thread you have started and asked the same question.

The outhouses are mainly used for dealing with parcels so you'll likely be sorting parcels into areas and moving wheeled containers of parcels around
