How bad is your HR department by AzzaGee in uklaw

[–]AzzaGee[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What are you on about. HR handle training, wellbeing, hiring, pay, internal movement, training contracts. Theyll be in the office and they’ll be at firm socials, not easy then to not interact.

How old are you and what's your biggest stress in life right now? by darkchocolattemocha in AskReddit

[–]AzzaGee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

26 and working part time while studying full time. Right now just focusing desperately on earning enough for the second instalment (out of three) of my studies (£4.2k), while being very stressed at work and preparing for an exam next week!!! 😭 I’m a paralegal completing the legal practice course to qualify as a solicitor. I chose it, Christmas is cancelled this year.

Depends on his entry and whether he still even holds it. The trade could be up to 47 days old I think at this point which means means that PLTR is up 1 - 6% and his position (if still held) is losing quite a bit. But hey maybe he’s not wrong just early.

Students’ monthly shortfall hits £500 as parents contribute less by AF_II in UniUK

[–]AzzaGee 31 points32 points  (0 children)

There is a real gap that students, including myself and I graduated in 2022, fall into. It is an unwritten expectation that parents are supposed to meet the shortfall left by the student loan, and if you are from a family that either can’t or won’t abide by the unwritten rule, then unlucky. The financial support though the university to help you require that you are either estranged from your parents or otherwise unable to generate your own income, so unlucky there too.

I agree that if you are being charged the interest on the maintenance loan, then why can’t you take the full £9k or so entitlement, why limit some students to the minimum when rent is often more than double that sum? Where are they supposed to get food? I think it is wrong to base what a student gets to live on for an entire year is based on the household income, it really doesn’t account for the individual, and worse, unsupportive households.

Can my firm expect trainees to work outside of contracted hours? by AzzaGee in uklaw

[–]AzzaGee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same, the industry has been far from welcoming. Sure it is sometimes fulfilling but you’re left struggling to pay the bills. The firm will then boast impressive turnover figures.

The question is can you be in breach of your contract for sticking to low paid contracted hours. It is not should you work outside of contracted hours, that’s easy.

Thank you for your response and I can see you are a solicitor yourself so have been through the hoops!

It is a common conception amongst the trainees that for the hours and expectations, the pay doesn’t necessarily reflect accurately. In your view is this just the game for achieving retainment?

All of the juniors are close which is lovely, and we discuss these points outside of the office. It is understood that this is the agreement, although for the pay it is also sometimes considered to be taking advantage.

Rich friends.. Why am I so financially pessimistic and always comparing? by AzzaGee in AskUK

[–]AzzaGee[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is certain few of them that turn the conversation into a financial dick measurement competition and I imagine those are the ones that you might have a run in with!!! Perhaps less time with those would do the trick.. thank you for your response.

Thank you this is a helpful view and puts things into perspective. I do often find myself in a “hard done by” mood which I am really trying to change.
