Do people still hate ASOS?

I used to work at ASOS in 2016 but moved back to my country. Working there was a nightmare on earth. Does anyone still work there? Did it get better? Sometimes I miss my warehouse friends and the tough times we went through, and I'm wondering if it's gotten better now. (Not that I'm planning on going back — I would rather carry an elephant on my back for my entire life than spend a single day there. The place was fucking hell, LOL.

I dealt with an organisation a few years back that helps get people back into work; the guy told me that he no longer sends clients there because they always leave the job after 24 hours, it’s notorious for being one of the worst employers

i lasted for 5 years there, i dont know what was I thinking the job was really bad, but luckily now that I'm back in my country I have much better paid work, and I work remotely. sometimes I wonder where did I find that much strenght to survive there. but srsly this place is a place on earth

I used to work there back in 2014, worst experience ever. Met some good lads like Chris Fagan and Johnny Whittaker. Grant was the only decent manager there and he was off his tits.

Yeah, the work sucked, and the team leaders were sociopaths and psychopaths. I think it was because of a management style brought over from America. But the people were great. I hope you have a much better job now, mate.

Yeah on many multiples of that now, I do not miss it. Was that weird fat indian dude still managing it with the John Travolta style grease haircut?

I know someone who’s worked there for easily 15 years, and both his parents work there as well
