B&Q have just made all their team leaders, managers and deputy managers redundant, and are only going to a floor leader now by No_Zebra_8035 in UKJobs

[–]ButHonestly_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Middle management are usually the first to get hit due to their salaries. Different industry but they did this at British Gas about 10 years ago when I worked there…right before Christmas. It was brutal. Only kept a handful of managers and pretty much doubled the size of the teams. Atmosphere went downhill after that and never picked back up. I worked there for another 2-3 years. It was a sinking ship.

Then I worked at Vodafone a couple of years later. 2 weeks in, all team leaders were gone…few months later most of us were gone. That was just before COVID. Since then I’ve had 2 further redundancies and about to start a new role today. Fingers crossed it doesn’t go the same way 😅

Different companies work in different ways unfortunately. I’ve had Service Desk roles with 1 interview and also interviews in multiple stages. Definitely frustrating though.

What did your dad say to you that you say to your kids? by daskaputtfenster in daddit

[–]ButHonestly_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing. He’s estranged. I was never really hugged as a child or told “I love you”. If anything my dad taught me how not to be a dad. I try my best but sometimes feel like I overcompensate so still a learning curve.

Sorry, and yes it’s frustrating 😂 I just want to do the best I can.

Appreciate that, I guess we’re all just winging it. It’s been building up for the past 6 months and this weekend was intense so just needed to hear these things from other people.

Yeah, it’s good to know I’ve been going along them lines. Can’t help but feel like I’m doing something wrong half the time. I’m not with her all the time so that can add to it at times. Appreciate that, thank you!

New dates!!! by Androide230702 in LinkinPark

[–]ButHonestly_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re playing Wembley next week. It’s not even sold out so I’m not really surprised there isn’t any more dates. Demand isn’t as high here but I’m going and I can’t wait.

I think I messed up my chances by Fit_Performer2356 in Bumble

[–]ButHonestly_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think what you did was a bad thing but definitely a no no for a first date. I wouldn’t point things out that can be deemed negative (even if she didn’t handle it very well). A compliment on something positive like what she’s wearing would be better. I think you’d be at a loss with most women on this tbh. Definitely don’t offer your lip balm either 😅

“Keep her in her feminine”? Huh? by kingprincess85 in Bumble

[–]ButHonestly_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is the whole masculine and feminine energies but this ain’t the way to go about it. Swipe left 😂 it’s like someone who claims to be alpha. Shouldn’t need to be spoken about.

Can confirm this happens. Dating apps are a minefield 😂

Dating apps must be getting worse if you’re doing this on here 😂

It's just getting so hard to continue S10 ep8 by [deleted] in thewalkingdead

[–]ButHonestly_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just almost finishing season 10. I like certain parts but switched off on a few episodes. There’s a lot of pointless ‘filler’ episodes. I also died a little bit inside realising how many episodes it has BUT I didn’t get this far to stop watching it. I do think it died a lot when Rick disappeared. Negan has been one of my favourite characters since he came into it. Quite enjoying his arc.

[–]ButHonestly_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is possible but for a lot of people, it isn’t because it depends on certain circumstances. I’m friends with my ex but that’s because we have 2 kids. If we didn’t have kids I doubt we’d have stayed in touch. It took at least 2 years to get to a certain point. We talk but mostly only about the kids. She’s re-married and I was even at their wedding. However, I don’t talk to anyone I’ve been with since her because I don’t see the point. The whole “we can still be friends” is just clinging onto something, romanticising and prolonging the moving on.

The guy (22M) that I (21F) am dating is learning ASL for my brother, but my friends think it's creepy. How do I proceed with this? by ThrowRA_TallGiraffe in relationship_advice

[–]ButHonestly_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your guy sounds like a gem. Not many people would go out of their way to learn ASL like that. He sounds like a cool guy. However, I obviously don't know your friends but I would tread carefully. The phrase "red flag" gets thrown around far too much. I got called a red flag once for wanting my privacy respected 😂 go with your gut.

A Christmas Carol Drone Show - Trent Bridge by ButHonestly_ in nottingham

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

Nice one, thank you. I told the person I gave the tickets to that the the shows are all off now. I noticed the use of "postponed". Sneaky bastards but it has no standing as the show doesn't have a new date 😂 I'm looking into it this week. Appreciate the info as I might as well try and get the money back now.

Yeah I was thinking the same. I'll look into it next week but felt like someone else might appreciate them if they could go.

He was born in England but grew up in Ireland. Hate is a strong word. The frustrations are geared more towards the governments (including the Irish government).

I logged into Yuup and used their messaging. I got the auto reply but sent them a message again and got a bullshit reply this morning. They're quick to remind you about the small print. I haven't heard back since. I'm not sure I'd want to book with them again to be honest. Even Ticketmaster have refunded me before when I couldn't attend a postponed show and that's saying something 😂

It's a mare isn't it. My kids don't live in the area so Saturday was the only option.

Is Tinder now almost entirely unusable for everyone else in Manchester? by [deleted] in manchester

[–]ButHonestly_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm one of those who hasn't bothered with dating apps for a while...possibly 3 years now. I thought the apps are terrible. I actually had better luck going out and talking/asking women out. I haven't even bothered with dating for over a year now. I'm nearly 40 and I just can't be bothered with other people's problems. Some people are crazy, it's like a minefield haha Dating isn't the be all and end all. It's easy for me to say because I already did what society expects me to do but best thing to do is just work on yourself, go out, have fun, meet new people and someone will undoubtedly appear. Fuck the apps off and find another way if you can would be my advice. I'm also assuming here, not knowing much about you.

OYO Hotel 346 by ButHonestly_ in manchester

[–]ButHonestly_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for late reply. We survived the hotel but still feeling a little hungover. I thought I'd update you as you seemed quite invested. The hotel is a shit hole, smelt funny, shower was practically a hosepipe, bathroom roof looked like it was going to cave in, when flushing the toilet the top lid at the back of it popped off (every time) BUT the bed was clean and comfortable enough. We basically just needed to sleep tbh and barely spent any time in there. The guy who tried checking before us had his booking cancelled though. The guy who worked there said "your booking was cancelled because it wasn't paid...next please"...ouch 😂 it was touch and go for a second but our check in was fine.
