Get the cabin pinky promise mug.Related Words
The wildly exaggerated amount of time, that a prospective employee is told by an Employment Agency that a job will last. Mainly used by desperate recruiters,as they know that the shorter amount of days offered, the less chance they are going to get anybody to do the job. Ergo they will miss out on their earner.
Phone rings and it is the local lacking in any honour or credibility employment agency. "Have you got your own PPE, a CSCS card, a pulse, a day glow vest and can you start yesterday? Good, we have a job helping to lay turf on a building site of ten houses which will last six months".
Person at the other end of the phone who has heard it all before - "No it won't, it will only be for about two days. I don't trust you, this is only another Employment Agency Promise !"
