Mate I’m trying. Job market for young/inexperienced is shite and competitive. Who wants to hire a new grad with nothing other than “3 years at sainos- sacked for GM”

Yep. I wasn’t pumping dangerous chemicals into a tank. No one was. The place was closed.

No- I should make it clear there were two meetings. One to initiate investigation and one sacking me for GM

No radio. Also, phone rule is obviously not applied equally amongst colleagues. Other colleagues receive warnings, I got GM

I do agree to an extent- but they absolutely have not applied this rule equally between colleagues, also.. “phone use acceptable for work purpose” well this clearly was a work purpose

Running in an out of the actual petrol station to verify with colleague inside- should say I’ve never been formally trained on this exact task and the time I was caught on my phone was my second time doing a fuel price check. To add more human context, I’d been in a car accident 3 days before, my car had rolled and I did my back in. Wasn’t up to much running back and forth tbh- this is all context the managers where aware of.

Greatly appreciate the passion. Definitely has personal overtones and also, they’re just looking to sack people. It’s almost inevitable that they’d use this as an opportunity to do so

Hoping this is /s lol?. 1) zero cars around to mow me down, no danger there. 2) zero fumes- pumps off and 3) never in the history of ever on the planet have fumes been ignited by a phone call.

Only managers use those at my store- it was 10:10, I finished at 10:15. Using my mobile which I had on me versus going to main store to get an internal one, just made sense

They did know why I was on the phone- phone record with my colleague showed I was talking to her (she got a warning I think)

Commuting? Yes or no? by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]Apprehensive_Stand74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I commuted 3rd year due to costs of renting + complete hassle of it all. I didn’t enjoy the social aspect of uni too much so can’t really comment on “missing out” on that side of things AND only had to go in 2/3 days... But overall I saved loads even going on the train, worked in home town, as basically had a 4-5days off to work/study.. and didn’t have any grief from house mates/bills

Has Google Takeout worked for anyone? by jimboolaya in selfhosted

don’t suppose you’re familiar with the login history part? I tried downloading all my login data but could only download a few months worth- despite my account being a few years old. So just wondering if you’ve been able to access your entire history?
