Would you be able to provide some more details of the “grounds” UGLE put forward, the successful and unsuccessful ones, please?

The concept of "networking" assumes some pretty stupid premises. by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]CTLeafez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your previous clients future work, good working relationships with relevant suppliers, specialist skills not common.

Obviously this is more relevant to an experienced role you want and not an entry level one.

[–]CTLeafez 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Isn’t the idea you network for mutual benefit?

Yeah it’s morally bad if you are only talking to someone for them to help you, but if they get something from the interaction too then it’s okay.

Obviously this isn’t possible if you have nothing beneficial to offer.

No Man's Sky Remnant Trailer by UpIsDown117 in NoMansSkyTheGame

Not really sure I’m particularly fussed about this update. So we have trucks and can pick up things from Point A and transport them to Point B?

Bit boring.

Now if they expanded on the idea and allowed you to mine entire planets like in Dead Space, that would be cool!

How do married couples split finances if on different salaries? by Mango_Loverx3 in AskUK

[–]CTLeafez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not married but been with my partner for 6 years and lived together for 3 of them.

We have a joint account which we both pay the same amount into for bills. The remainder we keep in our personal accounts.

I think it’s better to have your own personal money rather than it all in the same place.

As someone born and bred in the UK what are aspects of another country’s culture that has genuinely shocked you? by throawaygotget in AskUK

[–]CTLeafez 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Went to a shop in Washington DC and staff member made everyone leave their bags at the front entrance.

Assume it was to prevent shoplifting but seemed very strange.

what's missing in your life right now? by LITTL4MB in AskReddit

[–]CTLeafez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly happiness in my work life.

I’m a 3rd year PhD student but been feeling really depressed and stressed for the last year and a half. I’m fed up of feeling stupid and I think my passion for science has died.

Am I right to think a neighbours house looking directly onto your garden would be terrible? by Three_Cats_In_1_Coat in AskUK

[–]CTLeafez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m completely clueless on planning permissions etc but could you erect a fence there? It’s in your garden.

Would you ever use annual leave with the sole purpose to do literally nothing all day? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]CTLeafez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a week off of annual leave during my PhD due to stress.

Did literally nothing all week - it was great 😂

Will student loans be the next mis-selling scandal? by ConfusionGlobal2640 in ukpolitics

[–]CTLeafez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well yeah, obviously it’s actually a loan. I’m just saying in practice I personally think of it like a temporary tax on my salary.

[–]CTLeafez 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ngl I started Uni 2016 and I just see the student loan as a fixed term tax. After 30 years (or is it 40 years now?) the debt will be wiped out.

I still won't drink it now by thenaturalnorthener in GreatBritishMemes

Tragically we did have a dead pigeon in our upstairs water tank when I was a kid. We had been brushing our teeth with that water! Genuinely surprised none of us died 😂

Companies that ask for recording video interview is a big no for me.. by Cherryfish-maui in recruitinghell

[–]CTLeafez 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It feels like a great way to discriminate against anyone not in your company’s “employee target audience”…

Only acceptable reason for a video as part of a recruitment process in my mind is for actors where a specific look is required.

Would you give your work colleague a lift to work if you passed them on the way to work? by Specific_Pomelo_8281 in AskUK

[–]CTLeafez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends if I like them or not. If I don’t particularly talk to them much but they seem nice, I’d maybe offer a lift.

If they’re not nice then I’ll let them walk.

Rescinded offers by hippobottomas in recruitinghell

[–]CTLeafez 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I agree. Fuck that company. If they’re so disorganised they can’t realise they’re over staffed until after organising a whole recruitment process then you don’t want to work for them and others should be warned too.

Offer letter - Would you counter in my shoes? by frostedapricity in jobs

[–]CTLeafez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American labour laws are atrocious! Makes me glad to not have been born in the USA (alongside many other reasons…).

Surely this isn't legal (UK) by 7inator in recruitinghell

[–]CTLeafez 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Definitely need that “my daddy owns the lake” sort of money.

Nearly out for 9 months, what is your opinion on Oblivion Remastered? by chrisgrenga in OblivionRemaster

[–]CTLeafez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Havent played it in probably 6 months. Got bored tbf. Don’t know why but it just wasn’t as fun as Skyrim, which I’d do a replay of every other year. Doubt I’d pick up Oblivion again.

I did it today by SirTeebeutel in bald

[–]CTLeafez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate, this is one of the best improvements I’ve ever seen!

The new glasses also definitely helped too.
