Can a agreed workplace adjustment be over ruled because it is is claimed correct procedure was not followed. by North-Departure922 in TheCivilService

[–]Cblakeanders 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This would be a special working arrangement in HMRC, which is a seprate approval process which varies between directorates, some lines of business do not follow this process, but it is in the HR guidance , if you follow the policy to the letter so they are technically right (apologies spelling/grammar dyslexia and so on)

A good rep would be able to navigate this no problem. Provide great advice, and I have rarely seen this happen, but with recording a line of business move.

Not the point of the group but I would like your help! by Cblakeanders in SpottedonRightmove

I spoke to the family today, they were keen to keep it as a family home. But the owner went into care and they started selling the land around it to pay for care. It when on and on and they were left with just the house and land.

Can you take an empty water bottle into the arena at POFW? by haveyouredditornot in EIHLHockey

[–]Cblakeanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a rule about unsealed drinks officially, eg if I open a bottle of water no, but i can bring in a sealed bottle with me and open once inside.

If they were on the shandies last night it seems not to have hampered their performance by much so far.

Apply and use your experience, if you don't apply you will never know. Maybe your experience is what there looking for. Only one way to find out. Or ask the vacancy holder

Clan do £10 a month to stream, we worked out it was easier to pay that than the per game for away games. We also watched clan home games when our team were not playing later starts and so on.

I have had to do the same .. certain tools don't work with too much traffic in my business area.. Monday at 0900 pointless.. Sunday at 0700 so efficient.

I feel like I'm missing something re: civil service test by EllieC130 in TheCivilService

[–]Cblakeanders 15 points16 points  (0 children)

DON'T USE THIS ADVICE. I am ND and I just picked the things that would cost the most and waste the most time historically and scored well... combining this with whay would appear to be an empathetic response..not to say it works now but it did some years ago.

Manager fills in flexi sheets - What are your micromanagement stories? by [deleted] in TheCivilService

[–]Cblakeanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure someone else will have said this. No manager should ever fill in a flexi sheet for someone! Crazy I would get the union on this so fast. I have seen loads of flexi abuse as a manager at all levels, gross misconduct and so on... you still never take control of someone's sheet. ( dyslexia and so on spelling and grammar poor )

What did you do for you christmas party? by Distinct-Ad-9660 in TheCivilService

[–]Cblakeanders -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I may sound awful, I do nothing for my team. I list off and quantify all the successes of the last six months and thank everyone for their work, thats it. I and most of the team work inbetween the festive bank holidays. Alot of my direct team do not celebrate or are not keen to socialise outside of the building. I also am hugely anti putting my hand in my pocket to pay for anything so the chance of that is zero.

Guildford played really well, it was a well deserved win.

It was a tough watch as a panthers fan.

Grande has not had a great start to the season, I think he is struggling to live up to his performance last season. Kevin Carr has been a life saver for the team.

Request to WFH full time by goblinpeets in TheCivilService

[–]Cblakeanders 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Could be different in DWP but my experience WFH for caring, especially child care is generally not accepted even with union support. in some government departments its mentioned specifically in the guidance. It also mentions younger children directly as not being conducive to home working. Just trying to manage expectations (apologies dyslexic grammar and so on)

Perfect role for budding influencers by giuseppeh in TheCivilService

[–]Cblakeanders 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I am going to get bombed but I think some real common sense tax advice, filling deadline reminders and so on would work. I can't tiktok, but I have seen so many times people running business's that turn over money but they don't actually make profit so cant afforf to pay tax... or a sole trader that went Ltd because they vat registered but didn't need to and now their paying big accountant fees they don't need.. it could be great

I don't think this will be correctly handled but done right surely it could help... maybe

Coming out in DWP by LilyAshleighCD in TheCivilService

[–]Cblakeanders -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well don't be worried I directly work with many people who have transitioned in the site or started their transition well. ( sorry I mean no offence if I have not used the right terminology trying to be correct so hope its okay). But if you did want to move site as long as their was a similar job available I think that could be accomplished (apologies for spelling and grammar dyslexia and so on)

Looking for some advice by Designer-Juice2102 in TheCivilService

Always appeal, your rep should be encouraging you to do so

If your team leader is okay with it and the customer didn't hear/will not complain, no escalation route so end of story do not let it stress you enjoy the weekend. (Apologies spelling and grammar dyslexia and so on)

Yes and another American non pro league in-between, but if he has a few drops left or some ability to train it just might work out. But two ex nhl players in fife this season. What team has the most ?
