the only thing I got out of this place was the drive to work for myself for the rest of my life.
A hellhole data entry centre that is populated by teenagers and useless managers, paid nearly twice as much as the people they make do all their work.

Get the mdec mug.Manual Data Entry Centre. A massive office containing 500 data entry keyers, all keying addresses for the Royal Mail, enduring sub-standard wages/working conditions. Features include managers that walk around/watch everyone else work and seem to serve no purpose except to get paid a lot and do f*** all.
I can't believe i'm still working in the MDEC 1 year later, anyone would have thought i'd have a *proper* job by now.

Get the MDEC mug.A place featuring the suffering of hell mixed with the mindless tedium of purgatory.
The minnions (or WGMs) are gernally fat greasy males or attractive young blondes who have bedded the fat greasy males, who patrol the area, strutting around looking important, and making sure that the mortals (or Keyers) keep looking at their screens at all times.
Common phrases often heard at MDEC are:
"You should be back keying by now" (meaning "you are 15 seconds late back from break and I'm trying to impose my authority. My God I'm so important.")
"Would you like to see your seeds?" ("You dared to make a mistake last week and I'm going to mull over it with you")
"Sick absence is still too high" ("We make you book your annual leave 18 months in advance and now you tell us you need a day off?")
"I quit" ("I quit")
The average "life-span" (the time it takes for a keyer to become so desparately bored with the job that they run out crying) is 18 months.

Get the MDEC mug.A place where 95 percent of employees are happy to work in reasonably relaxed surroundings getting paid above average wages for the role with quite generous bonus incentives. 5 percent of employees attend to loaf, meet other loafers and take Royal Mail for a ride until their comeupance is due.
continually complaining with a negative defeatist attitude but know there is no better job out there where their lazy, tedious attitudes would be accepted.

Get the mdec mug.A fictional (yet very apparent) disease, contracted when one is perceived to have worked at the MDEC for an abnormal period of time.
Symptoms include: random hand gestures, Dick and Dom quotes, Napoleon Dynamite quotes, outlandish nicknames assigned to virtually everyone in the workplace, and completely bizarre "games" played at the MDEC during quiet periods (most of the time), with utterly irrelevant rules.

"Ooo, eee, ahh, Beefy's gone potty!"

"Let's drop a coin on the floor and see if she picks it up..."
"Can't find me cheque book..."
"No, no, no Mr. Schneider; that's COMPLETELY out of hand!"
"Here we are in the industrial zone, so-called because of CORRUGATED CARDBOARD and some PIPING!"

"This is the future: SKITTLES and REMOTE CONTROLLED CARS!"
