Sadly itâs unlikely to come up soon as theyâre like gold dust. Although said colleague has already mentioned she may move on later. I was appointable for the role a while ago and have experience. Just not sure that the recruitment practice was legit.
Still fuming about the job that seems to have been given to someone. I went looking for answers from my manager who has helped piece things together. I feel that someone (the person who got the job) gave me false hope last week having told me the role was âcoming upâ. There doesnât seem to have been any advertising for 2 roles. I will be raising it. I am also quite up for going back to be a union rep if this is what happens where I work. I apologise in advance for possible future moans about this.

Deep breath sit down work out new plan to get ahead of the sneaky bards at work or move.
Letting it fester and you may end up posting on the depression thread which is not worth it.

You changed plans. Flew to UK got stressed out to meet venture capital partners for your tech start up. Which went well.
Then find yourself in VIP drinking free booze and discover the bloke youâve been on the piss with is in townâŚ
With $2billion to invest inâŚ
Tech start ups.
Hi hum.
Yes I have got his card of course
Just have to remember ffs
Definitely thinking about changes. I am not sure I want to work somewhere where this stuff happens. But sure it happens lots of places.
The vomit outside our front door this morning. Believe it was something to do with our neighbours opposite as could hear someone banging on their door at 2am.
Nice.
Just having an extension built to our old cottage and the sandblaster has been at work on the exposed brick walls and oak beams in the new build. A great cloud of dust has just blossomed throughout the house and covered everything. Forget the snow, this is worse!
Average number of snowflakes required to fall before some muppet in the office starts crapping on about not being able to get home?
turns out it is 3
Utter cock ends.

To be fair, the infrastructure in this country does tend to collapse after 5 snowflakes fall.

Iâve often been the last one in the office when this happens. The infrastructure in London means Iâve been on 5 visits this morning with no issues. See if tomorrow is going to be worse.
Not sure if this should go here.
1 parent and the âmightâ of social media versus a Hampshire school & majority of parents ok with raising pigs that will go for slaughter.
I sort of get where the vegan parent is coming from, though I come from a farming background so personally (remember the âpersonallyâ) think heâs being a dick. Too many kids probably think mcnuggets grow on trees.
Kids need to understand where their food comes from.
I have no problem with teaching alternatives to food production etc but I do object to how one parent with an agenda is able to almost derail a valuable life lesson for the majority who, letâs face it, are not going to be converted to veganism.
Apologies to any vegans / other diet lifestyles out there.
I became a vegetarian / pescatarian aged 11 years old after some piece of school work on animals. Canât remember what now. My motherâs side of the family were a farming lot so have experience of that. Pretty sure a cousin had a summer job in an abattoir. Still remember the smell of blood. On my fatherâs side there were vegans and vegetarians.
Many schools have animals and some have small farms in them. I learnt about the meat industry without having an actual piglet who would one day be slaughtered in the school. I say learn about meat /diary industry and also have the views of vegans and let people decide but maybe not with actual piggies. But I am biased.
Biased? You and me both @intiniki .
I know itâs futile for people with fixed views to argue (plenty of threads on here prove that. .)
In this particular BBC item I think I was more disappointed in the parent because they seemed to be trying to change hearts and minds by using social media and a petition signed by 50k odd people who have nothing to do with the school. 97% of parents agreed with what the school is doing
Thatâs a better endorsement than the Brexit vote.

But thatâs what happens more and more. Many things that come up in the media with loads of complaints - half if not most people never saw the offending thing in the first place but then jump on it.

The sun is shining. You check the sky, not a cloud.
You check the forecast. 0% chance of precipitation.
You drive in to the car wash. You emerge 4 minutes later into a raging sandstorm & pouring rain.
The car is now dirtier than when you drove in.

So far 4 of my staff have emailed to say they are working from home because of the snow. All of them are the only ones living in London and one only a 10min walk from the office ffs!
Holiday all round - that might concentrate their minds

Yeah, but the four are all yoots and am reliably informed were in the boozer for a school night session last night.
Quiet words will be had - probably in the spring or whenever the snow disappears and they bother coming into the office again.
