MandM Direct Ltd is truly a "super trash" mega company, following a generic, nasty business blueprint that is torturous for workers but good for profits, and sign up to that pretentious colonial imperialism. I did picking for them involuntarily, which I will explain, and it was just as foul as any other warehouse I've ever been to.

Imagine a job order picking you don't even apply for, didn't want, are not interested in, warned I won't be good at, suffer physical pain from and deep exhaustion for but are still forced into and to top it off, it's easy to get sacked from. That is now your reality. That's me and it wasn't honestly by consent. (poor = need job, a fake choice) I was coerced and persuaded into this post modern slavery, that's the only way to describe the contract. Forced labor, via the backdoor. This is exactly what "you will own nothing and be happy looks and feels like. Working for M&m picking, It's better to not live at all than to live a life tainted by enormous physical effort in return for rewards paid in peanuts. You don't deserve me, so don't ask for my service ever again. I demand to be blacklisted from here. I literally burst into joy, when I got the sack, over the phone. About the only good thing about M&m warehouse, was being able to escape, getting away from that wretched cursed 1940's replica concentration camp, now someone give me a job I actually care about doing, for once... I shall be so lucky. Being located in the back of beyond gives even less incentive than there already wasn't to ever go back.

"Welcome to hell" are words I would mutter on the coach, filled with non-natives I can't understand in their own languages, for a 2 hour return journey, complete with BEO after breaking souls to maximum energy output all day, everyday, 2 hours morning/night prep, 7.15 hours of non stop walking, turns into a 12 hour day of pure misery, pain, exhaustion and low pay.
Work is not supposed to feel like a punishment, however MandM have really mastered employee-punishment as an artform.

But we haven't even touched the surface. You go there with the infamous fingerprint scanner (feels like a trap, like you can forget to use it) when you scan at the entrance anyway... Smacks of a sneaky tactic to try and not pay the workforce ie the life blood of any/all business, anywhere in the world. Without staff, you'll be going out of business fairly quick. It is not a "given" that people work there, like me, we do it because it was part of some mandatory commitment, no one is there voluntarily.

A canteen that isn't fit for actual prisoners, no cooked dinners here, but you can enjoy donuts, crisps, fatstuff with no nutritional content, and makeshift camping tables to sit at. All of this screams of negligence. Don't get me started on the state of the toilets and bombarded with crowding at certain times. Short of writing a book... Well.

No concern for my personal belongings, I have to risk my stuff to theft because I locked the key in the locker only because I was in so much pain on my feet it interferes with a methodical thought process. "it is what it is" is the response I get from a orange vest. This Unbearable lack of respect for me as a worker has me fuming, but I save-face... I need the crummy money. Of course.

Security protocol treats everyone like a suspect, but it's unclear as to why... Many customers here have cited they received fake goods... So even if someone did steal, they are stealing fake goods... So why are M&M so protective of counterfeit brands, this company is a definitely a laughing stock (pun intended)

Turnover of staff is about as high as their actual turnover of profit. News of getting sacked will come as a cause of celebration. I hope to be blacklisted. Never ask me again. "Never again" is my response to this shameful company. Better treatment in prison. Oh I'm sorry do I keep mentioning prison one too many times?! Seems to be an ongoing theme there.

Filled with a slave driving culture, you will need to run round in the cold or get on the trolley to push with your foot to meet the speed expectation... The chains and whips of yesteryear have been replaced with computers. One you are forced to handle with everyone's germs smeared over instead of wear on your wrist and the second computer found in a cosy office, producing candle and pie charts for smug arrogant office dwellers to mull over whilst themselves are not being monitored for KPI. I now recognise the word KPI monitoring, as a coded terminology to Leave ASAP

Managers who are power tripping, don't care about people except barking orders to hurry up and recommending the sack. That's not what management is about and I don't need a degree to say it. No team building, no getting to know your staff. No feedback, no nothing from them. Don't even dare to sit down on your downtime, you'll get the sack. It's all your own fault. Enough stress here to anger a Saint.

MandM are so eager to sack people, from a place that offers absolutely nothing to workers. The wage is barebones legal minimum to keep the lawsuits at bay, an underpaid scam, what they can get away with paying, but expect output of a few tonnes, not gonna happen, delusional. Robots can keep up with 90 case per hour. Human, 60. For me I managed about 70 non stop work, not talking, no slacking. Still 30% more effort needed to hit this requirement for no corresponding pay rise. Yeah, no thanks.

Digital KPI (key performance indicator) monitoring... When thet only pay the scraps of minimum wage?! Again more comedy, pretending that minimum wage is like a gift from God. Give over, pathetic NPC programming.

Act like the minimum wage is a privilege?!... All the trollies are at least 20 years old, suffering damage from 24/7 wear and tear, wobbly, loud, overused, not to mention. Break times that are short, sharp and constantly changing. How do you fancy not even getting a seat in the break room because it's too small. Don't stand near vending machines if you're not buying anything! That's rude! Pffft.

Items in wrong box, every single box has this problem. Boxes with nothing in them, but still send you all the way round, instead of managers having some common sense and shut off the location until refill to save time and journey for pickers. Fire drill assembly point card terminal doesn't even work, try twice in a row to register rather than once (because once makes too much sense) would you enjoy some career progression, At MandM we are proud to get rid of people after 2-3 months rather than show any sort of care whether you turn up or not (we'll get another pleb in, it doesn't matter, who cares?!?) good question. WHO cares? Someone ought to, Certainly not you MandM!

The list of bad, is endless, as aforementioned

It is a company so completely filled with problems, top to bottom, not 1 thing is good about working there, not even by choice and the pay is severely underpaid for the volume of work being asked to do and the time involved honestly makes it hell on earth. I am glad to see the back of the place. Never again and Good riddance. ZERO stars are rewarded.

Blacklist me, please. NEVER say yes to working there, I'd rather mop floors in a real prison for the same amount of time given, energy given and wage, than work at MandM warehouse. Give me forklift or office work, not operative. If you haven't got what I want to work I've zero interest. No free travel back home off the back of their millions, staff treated like a Durex. A total debacle deserving of ZERO stars. 1 star is 1 too many. Maltreatment and Misery, Direct, Unlimited staff turnover. Tonnes of work for grams of pay and a "we'll get some other mug do your job" attitude

Disgusting.

This is a chatroom supposedly. But like many others, you're not going to get noticed unless you spend months or even years of your time trying to get noticed (unless you're a loser, you're not going to do that). The interface is very basic. No users seem to want to engage in any serious debate, instead just say "hi" repeatedly...

They have added a "audio clip" function, but it requires users to (god forbid) actually click to hear it, I think it should play on auto because literally no one plays it voluntarily. If it was on autoplay, unless they block u, you will be heard no matter what. No conversations of substance, long pauses where no one is really interested in the chat, just a bunch of bored people, possibly basement dwellers, jobless or after-school teenagers, eventually just inducing a headache to the more intelligent among us.

The chatrooms that seem to have hundreds of people in, predominantly have an immature high-school clique premade that is hostile to new users, some rooms openly ban you for using the audio feature?!

Overall, having visited on 5 seperate occassions, what is clearer to me now is that comments are only useful to specific video/audio content or clips taken out of context, I cannot recommend this website for any meaningful conversation when you have the scrubs of humanity given mod powers with barely an IQ to rub rocks together with. It is a complete waste of time, but in the end that seems to be the end-goal of low-calibre chatrooms like these... The only possible usage could be to hold a private- invitation only chat to your friends/colleagues.

You can hold a conference call and make a custom chat exclusive and specific ie a business meeting, similar function to Microsoft Teams, that is possible, but it's never used like that. It's used for strangers to talk nonsense and ignore any sentence longer than 5 words

Avoid, nothing good will come out from it except frustration

Facebook's popularity was helpful for me in doing online business, but this was my primary usage, it was social for me when it first came out, but over the years up until 2019 my interest gradually changed and I embraced my inner money-man (entrepreneur).

By business I mean trading second-hand goods, selling things I had made personally (woodwork ie workbench, bird table, park bench), advertising and before Covid-19 - selling my services i. E do something useful for a person, I also found it useful for job searching, useful to get references for the next job. When things were good. Not the usual tasks of most other people, just scroll, like and comment... For me that got old... I say in the past tense as I have since stopped using for the reasons I will get to.

I was partially successful in facebook business when I paid facebook to advertise a now defunct business of mine doing Swedish Massage on table and in a specially adapted chair for upright massage, along with small-scale carpentry, produced with all the traditional jointing methods instead of screws and glue. I cared about quality over quantity and that's still my mindset going into business.

I had a steady stream of customers messaging and phoning me, things were looking good, but you know. What goes up must come down in terms of success/failure. I feel like that applies to me quite often. That gig had halted abruptly... but anyway

The social aspect can be a bit toxic. Having "the wrong opinion" all too easily breaks up your friendships (I didn't have an issue with a friend before entering into a debate) it proved to me that actually, I had made some fake-friends. I could filter them out when it dawned on me. We have absolutely nothing in common, not just in general, not only did i not like or care for the things they were into, but many were SJW'S or sympathetic to Woke politics. If you read a couple of my reviews, i'm more than clear about how I feel about that stuff. I have to break ranks with the weak.

I'm fully charged when it comes to politics, It's my most passionate subject... it's also the most risky if you're right of center. And what do I mean by that// well.

Sometimes this disruption is a bit contagious. If you fall out with one person, but they are known to your friends, then it makes you fall out with your friend, even though... the person I don't like (because they made me look like a fool before, took advantage of my kind nature etc) has nothing to do with OUR friendship. That is where it gets toxic. There is a domino effect, that also doesn't deserve to happen. If we were real friends, they would overlook the situation, and that is how I draw up my conclusions on the "social" apsect of social media to be vapid, superficial and accessory. I don't need other people's drama. I just need some success, hence why I focused a lot more on the business side of things.

I also noticed that when people add me or I added them, it was only conditional to us meeting each other in a establishment like school/college/work. We would never hang out, outside of this context... to me, a friend should be someone you can just call up and rock up at their house un-invited, go play some Xbox or playstation, and "chill out with bro's" at least, that's MY vision of friendship. It didn't happen

As for getting banned... again, having the wrong opinion, engaging in wrong-think and just joking about things I shouldn't because I want to laugh, got me banned, not once... but twice! I don't believe anyone is so offended that it warrants 30 day bans or permanent banning. It doesn't make sense. But it happened and it's just a real waste of time where socializing is concerned. We need to be going back to the old fashion way of meeting up in person.

Overall I cannot recommend facebook especially now with the virus going about, it taught me, we only really have ourselves to be friends with. There's a reason they are called friends... because they ALL come to an END. I'm okay with that. I've since decided not to start another account on there, until at least, after the virus dust settles. In summary, (was) good for business, bad for friendships and bad for social-mobility, but ending on a positive note, you can make it work for you if you try and don't give up.

Youtube fell down in terms of financial management when it sold it's soul to advertisers i. E company ads at the core of its business model. This inevitably affected the type and tone of new content, to "comply". Now i havent got a problem with companies, we all use them every day. So what's my grudge? Well, Gone are the days of uploading as you see fit. Authentic content like a long speech that ignores the drama of offending people and says it straight, this would not survive very long.

Yes, companies have money to share (and the vast majority are left wing bias). But guess what? Companies also try and dominate everything and make your life difficult before giving you a dime. Prying money out of companies is hard enough as an employee. Companies should have been kept out of the loop when it came to the tubes, the oppurtunity was there but was squandered when the paypal employees signed a deal with the Google devil, getting 1 billion for themselves, everyone else? Go fish! That seems to be how it played out

The business model should be social funding from users, like a pay as you go model i. E 5p to watch a video and more for the popular videos, this then gets collected into a central pot controlled by the webmaster exclusively and distributed according to best stats overall. Any leftover money is used to keep the site running and improve it. Youtube should been and independent company in itself instead of a yellow brick road for 3rd party endorsements. There was a lack of backbone from the beginning

If it was the case that a money management system could automate how uploaders get paid, there would never be a chance of demonetisation because it should have been a software program that naturally isn't politically bias. This also encourages a meritocracy on numbers instead of like/dislike of a persons character thus takes power away from narcissistic big company influence

Bartering for company cash is a terrible way of business. Companies just want to take money, not give, so everyone suffers rules according to the companies ethics and policies being a massive influence, because you have to please advertisers BEFORE the audience, now i am wise enough to see it, there is no longer a "fun" purpose about the website. All the good channels are banned.

But Thats the real reason why youtube sucks - corporatism and no longer being about you as an individual, now you're just a puppet having your strings pulled by the elite if you upload. You cannot do a video exactly the way you want without a social filter, heavy editing. To me thats just fake and nonsense.

It was a beautiful thing, ripe for corruption and destruction which is what has happened. It was good between 2005-2016 but now its time to seek an alternative where freedom of speech is respected and not shutdown because people disagree, regardless of how many disagree.

It is a fundamental human right to freely, express, without limitations or filters, one's point of view and youtube will not allow it. Find alternatives. I have i am spending more time on butchute and liveleak. While clunky at least the content is more "real"

I love Amazon and have been a customer since 2013, when I was about 20 my adoration for this website started when I noticed my mum using it and so out of curiosity, I asked what it was. So this is a 5 star review based on as many years in the experience of making this review, though hopefully my writing will not be as lengthy as an essay about War and Peace.

While I do have traits of cynicism and nihilism, I'll be the first to give credit where credit is due and acknowledge great achievements of which I believe, Amazon is a step forward, not backwards, for humanity as a whole. Cue the sound of the marching band. I get it.

Prior to shopping here, I used the high street, carrying heavy bags home but now I only venture out for food shopping or down to the builders merchant for emergency and recreational DIY purposes. Someone's got to fill the gaps in driveway, right?

I never fail to be amazed by the sheer range of stock on Amazon. There is almost nothing you can't think of that can't be found using the search function, except "big things" like cars or boats... Who knows. They might get listed on there one day.

About 95% of stuff I was specifically looking for by model/brand and even detail can be found on Amazon. I'm such a fan that I exclusively use the NewDay credit card that gives amazon points for every day purchases. Items are delivered straight to your door so no heavy lifting or travelling. It is my opinion that Amazon has revolutionized the world of retail. For the better.

What do you mean for worse?! Well. Obviously there is the argument it takes business away from the high street. I disagree with that because for example you cant get pre made coffee delivered hot, you need to try clothes on generally even if you know your sizes and a shop you can walk into is convenient. Snakes and Ladders.

I do like the addition of the Prime membership upgrade which I have trialled, when subscribed to you can access lots of music, e books and films you can enjoy if you pay extra for it per month, however it's one of those that's not necessary but nice to have. Gucci.

Perhaps the only gripe I have is that you can't choose your delivery times and might have to arrange it with a seller. #smalltalk. I think a better way would be have Amazon hire a seperate delivery company (courier) that specializes in custom delivery times for the customer as some of us have had to work zero hour contracts so it's hard to tell when you can stay in and avoid a parcel going to the neighbor or left behind a wheelie bin as a security risk. Normally though I time it so it fits around any work commitments. Got 'em.

In closing I would say that it's still one of, if not the greatest place online and on earth to shop for the miscellaneous. I have heard that Amazon is venturing into the food market. We all know the potential issues of 1 single company dominating the world, which are valid concerns but it's up to other companies to step up and provide competition. Of which there is no compelling evidence so far. Change my mind, Stephen Crowder.

Still i'm happy to share many more years of business with them, the price points for the same item on the high street is always lower. I'm not particularly fond of Jeff Bezos or his politics. But great products, great prices, great service continue to be pulled out of the proverbial magic hat, where else would I get my stuff?. Thankyou Bezos. Top geezer.

I'm not a fan of feminism but more than that - corruption. You do not get freedom of speech here as a male. While i am a reluctant fan of big women, the same problems exist with sister site Feabie. Men are silenced. It is rare to see any male written content or expression. You get banned way too easily simply for being male if you don't sucker up enough and chant how beautiful women are when their personality is rubbish and their flaws need to be called out so they can correct themselves, instead they rebel more and get worse. It ends up feeling like "angry old man shouting at the clouds"

Women will never view your profile or message back unless its tell you to go away. It's tipped as a dating website but what it really is in reality is a "female museum" instead male content attracts other men which couldn't be more infuriating.

The only time women respond to anything is when you are seconds away from getting banned and you have provided a reason for women to complain citing their many flaws which help educate other men on red flags such as female gold digging, flogging "premium snapchats" bashing them for calling sex a form of "work" which is outrageous and laughable, reffering to themselves as "sex worker" but is yet to be seen for them to do a single hard day's graft in their life moving about or standing all day. It's very difficult to take seriously any woman who refers to sex as a valid form of work, they really are lazier and dumber than a box of rocks. You cannot reasonably expect intelligent debate as the mods just ban you without ryhme or reason. "you're male" seems to be good enough. It's treachorous.

The site flogs an upgrade feature after viewing 25 or so pictures, but this was not the case before, it was free, this is squarely aimed at men as the viewing figures speak for themselves, an average guy might get 100views and 1 like in 15 years, a below average female not even showing her face can demand 600 in 5 minutes and about 10% likes so 60. The oldest picture of a female has got 12,000 views which eclipses the whole of the male picture section combined. Without men, this site would cease to exist yet there are so many weak minded men with high tolerance who allow the site owners to bash their core-audience.

Many of the women flagrantly advertise in their bio for a long distance "ghost wallet". This is an unattractive and unreasonable request to have. If im shed a single penny for a woman, i better be getting return on my investment, the women fail to realize it's up to THEM to tout for MY business, not other way round! They seem to believe picture and video will satisfy - it simply isn't good enough, they squirm at the idea of visitation or in person intimacy.

The site, just like feabie, is so hell bent on screwing over the core audience, they feel like they can get away with it - and they seemingly have done for a long time. It's not until men like me "wake up" and see the site for what it is - a place of toxic femininity, I Opted to walk away, i visit less and less until eventually will have completely lost interest. I just screen grab the pictures and don't bother interacting, it's getting to the point where i dont even want to do that anymore

I don't enjoy giving low rated reviews however Rotten Tomatoes users have no taste in good films, i can drop money and bet that if they praised a film, it is terrible, if they hate it i probably love it, in this ironic way it is helpful but not in the way it's intended, the reviews are often troll worthy, I have a hard time taking them seriously

For example their idea of a good film is recent Baby Driver (2017) which immediately starts out with the most awful background music I have ever encountered, it is literally torturous and Angel Egort as "baby" is immediately annoying, i can barely stand the first 10 minutes. Yet they have no problem slandering Fast And Furious or Transformers which by contrast have excellent choices in music such as rap, rnb, nu metal etc as opposed to blues, ska, reggae and are so much more cool, more sophisticated and action packed

The Tomato people appreciate the utterly abysmal It Follows horror film but have no problem slandering Some Kind Of Hate they review poorly with there strange opinion being that a film crammed with dialogue, boring character development and appeal to emotion fallacies are what i consider time wasted not getting to the point is more valuable than explosions and blood-shed. The lack of intelligent observation of the things that a film needs to be awesome is insult to my intelligence.

A lot of film critics are self-appointed, egotistical and more importantly clueless, they are completely out of touch and as aforementioned, very difficult to take the vast majority of the reviews on this site seriously having sat and watched what they praised compared to what they dislike, for me I believe the opposite is true.

The most pro 3rd wave feminist man hating website I have ever seen and for no good apparent reason backed and supported by the website owners. If you are a man here then you are unwittingly "the wrong gender" and will be chastised at every opportunity if you so dare to demonstrate you are intelligent, independent, confident and not slave material. Then you are a threat. Prepare yourself for a train wreck journey into the abyss.

As a guy i like (the look of) bigger women but they are undeniably problematic! Stinking attitudes! All of them (the ones I have seen in my own experience) suffer from a common White Girl disease known as "princess syndrome" easy to spot symptoms such as flagrant arrogance, domineering, victim complex, sociopathy, insults, shaming and grease bucket bodies which are in the bedridden category, how is a date even possible with these bacon monsters?

Anything more intimate than spoon feeding is condemned constantly and consistently. The dedication to hating straight, white, single men is more impressive than the most elite army regime. Kim Jong Un would blush with pride.

The victim complex has been highlighted by the current trending hash tag there #MakeFeabieSaferForWomen which is similar to the #MeToo tag, a congregate of whiny bimbo's who haven't actually been through any physical health issues and are still alive... duly noted it's not physically possible to pin down and R*** a big woman, she is too heavy to fall over and if she does she will roll away, it would be like a Carry-On film.

These women typically self impose themselves on house arrest 24.7 no guy has touched them only in their dreams, they just use this fake excuse to rally up more hatred for men as if in a mob mentality, men who haven't done anything but simply look to fulfill dating and s**ual needs of which we all have whether we want to agree or not, congrats on the over-generalizing... so brave. Lol.

It just occurs to me that these specific set of women love to complain as some sort of past-time, again mostly hilarious reading to see this disconnect of land whales coming together to moan in unison alas the not kind of moaning she SHOULD be doing from a real man if you catch my drift it's as if they hate to draw attention from men or the attention is not "perfect" - hence the huge arrogance run amok. The front page of this website should just be that one meme "**** you, pay me!" that is the mentality here.

Lest we forget these are not women that want to date, marry or have spicy time with, their intention is that you buy stuff from their Amazon wish list 1000 miles away in exchange for a mediocre non difficult spicy video. For the average dude that just doesn't cut this big ol' cottage cheese looking cake. Long distance financing of a female and not meeting for intimacy are serious deal breakers for the average dude.

This really feels like what happened to Emo kids of the millennium after becoming unemployed young adults, the correlation is chilling - women who have given up on love, living, dating and turned to food and guys who didn't get any excitement in their teens. Well you know how the saying goes "when the world gets you down, eat it"

It becomes ever-clear the women are un-dateable and they don't care. Basically gold diggers with extra weight. No different to the gangster films side chicks chowing down on burgers for your viewing pleasure and expense, the proposed XL pass is a con, the women here will take take take and offer you nothing in return other than something to look at which is their only real purpose.

They'll bleed you dry mentally and laugh about it because greed has it's roots deeply entrenched in evil, i've come to have my expectations be crushed. She'll try and convince you she's not a huge slab of meat that you just want to bust off too and not involve yourself with, she has "feelings" too! Lol! So do men, but that doesn't fit the narrative. Truth and facts are not welcome on feabie and get you banned faster than formula 1 racing to the finish line. But if you're a woman you get a free pass to spew vitriolic man hating poison like water over Niagra Falls. This is the social justice warrior heaven. Normal guy's hell on earth.

The slightest attempt to kill the big woman ego with a statement like "not every single man wants to persue you" is punished brutally with an 18 month access ban to visit the site on your ISP connection by the admin (info garnered from the t. O. s section). This is further complimented by extreme limitations on viewing 30 photos "per day". If only they were so strict with their dieting choices lol... oh wait they're not. Oh the irony!

The "ssbbw" want to get fatter but they are 600lbs anyway and unable to bear children. So im trying to re-calibrate my attractions to athletic women. It is an embarrassing "fetish" to have, if i were dating i realize i'd have to hide her in the closet around my parents while I temp hire a gym bunny chick to show off to my parents so the fat chick would be like some pet in a cage because i cannot bring dishonor to my family and be the laughing stock of my friends, I come to understand a ssbbw will ruin my reputation and street credibility and that i'd be cheating out of necessity to dodge bullets of conversation. I dont need this kind of hassle. I refuse to fund death and reason it with lust. It is immoral. Sites like this typically inspire me to give up on women entirely. But if I were to go out there and date, she would have to be slim and this would be most practical, it's a no-brainer.

What the women users here actually want as you will discover is instead a conveyor belt machine that self loads food by the truck load paid by YOU the weak, feable man slave, not an Alpha Male, its all one way for her fat arse and i dont think any good guy with his wits about him will be so subservient to these bunch of greedy hogs, it is crystal clear they just want a rich Arnold Shwarzeneggar to dump all their money and time into their lazy lumpy arse.

And so you ask what do they offer men in return? Absolutely nothing, less than nothing - if you are a dude and enjoy poverty, debt, humiliation, shame, guilt tripping, subservience, oppression and depression then you will find it here in spades. What you wont get is a woman worth dating. Don't come here and expect anything more than fap material by the bread crumb. I can view 30 photos in less than 2 minutes so the website usefulness is quickly shot.

So if you are a prime dude in your 20s and REALLY want to find love and real women, go to the local gym or night club because a big woman is ugly inside and out, they dont leave the house so are easy to avoid. Its been a great life lesson to ditch my delusions and go after truly beautiful thin, slender athletic non feminist women. Men will agree, women have 1 job to look pretty and slender & I might be a little more forgiving but it is such a small website that the man hating is hilarious but spend too long on feabie and you will lose your sanity. Its also just a black hole for your hard earned money, none of the girls are worth anything more than a quick pump n dump if it were possible anyway. Avoid like the plague you have been warned.
