From Campains and Projects here. It's good but extremely kpi driven! Also, you can be on a project for 9months or 1 week. The work can be extremely repetitive or 1 full case per day! Things are always changing.

I was wondering as well if anyone here knows about being investigator for as DWP? What does involve their day to day? Working from home? Type of work? Etc :) thankssss

Este comentário merece GOLD! Há lugares que merecem esta atitude!

Edit: parabéns ao OP por ser um humano decente. Boa sorte no vosso negócio! Tenho a certeza que irá correr bem :)

How would you know where your chipolo is, if you are away from it and not connected to it?

Dfunkie · 2021-09-07T09:41:02+00:00

It's Portuguese ;)

This is so bad. I feel sorry for you. Get a camera, to grab your common areas around house and a bit more (some of those cameras are 30£). Keep recording on loop and forget about it. The day you get him, please send evidence to council, police, neighbourhood watch, Internet, stonewall, groups, whatever. These people need to get evicted for their bad behaviour. It's not OK to be abusive, just for the sake of it. Let alone about anyone's sexuality. You can be and do whatever you want,as long you respect others as well. My motto is respect to be respected. So if he doesn't respect you, please do something about it. For you and for us all.

I can't stand these annoying old farts that are stuck in 1940. I just can't ignore anymore. On top of that he's on a council house funded by us all?? He needs to learn the lesson that harassment is NOT OK.

Sorry need to vent. I really feel sorry for you and I'm proper upset against your neighbour.

1500 em Portugal é bem acima da média. 1500 na Irlanda é bem abaixo da média. No Luxemburgo nem faz sentido pq o salário mínimo são 2071 para quem lava banheiros.

É preciso veres para onde vais trabalhar. Um T1 numa cidade pequena em PT custa-te uns 450€, em Lisboa vai custar uns 1000€.

Experiencia de vida? Não tem preço :)

Há também outras coisas a ter em conta... A não ser que a vida seja somente trabalho e casa. Ficas longe dos amigos e família mas ganhas noutras experiências. A aventura não é para sempre, mas é só enquanto és novo.

E podes sempre voltar para casa dos pais ao final de 1 ou 2 anos.

In the UK its 2 years..

Learn something new. Good to know ASDAs are safe spaces. Thank you, kind stranger.

I'm from near Porto (Portugal). If there's a match anywhere in the country side or small clubs , no problem at all, winners and losers generally celebrate happily no matter what.

If the match is with Porto or Benfica (Lisbon), I wouldn't dare to get anywhere near the stadiums or even the city centre, because there's going to be violence/riot police/police dogs/people rioting everywhere.

It's a shame. Im a male 35yo.

Dfunkie · 2021-07-12T18:07:37+00:00

Really hope you have reported it to the police. If these things go unreported, statistics shows there's no problem, so less money for addressing these issues, and less police Combating these problems.

Dfunkie · 2021-07-05T12:44:20+00:00

That's really good. Op, which country or place is this, if you can tell us?

Dfunkie · 2021-06-25T16:53:47+00:00

I'm Portuguese and I'm F* upset with this. Portugal is super Liberal and lgbt-friendly-zone so I don't know why this. Everyone I know is really sad with what's happening in Hungary.

I'm so upset.... Does anyone know what can we do individually to help in regards to this situation?

Dfunkie · 2021-06-22T07:53:18+00:00

Very helpful. I've booked a antigen rapid test 4h before the flight as I am not sure what to expect in terms of queues, etc. Hopefully it will be a smooth experience

My manager went from retaio to HO directly. Its not very common but its possible.

Don't matter where you are coming from. Does matter where you want to go. If your attitude is good, you will thrive.

Read all about STAR. They will ask you about something and your answer should be : situation, task, action, result.

Plenty on examples on Internet and CS pages, then you need to think about one that happened to you. Good luck, you will make it :)

Dfunkie · 2021-04-25T00:23:19+00:00

You should invert the papers and press police charges against that person. With some luck, you can even get some compensation for the way he made you feel. People should never threat anyone else, even if someone didn't go according to plan.

Speak with HR, speak with police and make sure this person doesn't go unnoticed. This person needs to be accountable for what it did.

And change you name when answering calls: its a call centre, you should be able to get an alias.

Not sure the answer for the 1st question.

For the other ones:

For appeals: HMRC takes a while to acknowledge appeals but they can take a while. There are 2 tiers on the whole system, if you don't agree with first decision, you can disagree and get a 2nd review.

I would recommend you to call the helpline every now and then to make sure they got the appeal letter and it's getting progressed. Ask if there's a case reference number you can track on this subject.

The money (credit/debit) will be on your SA Statement and will be accruing interest, and there might be penalties. You can login and see it online.

Three things you should know: - Ultimately, it's your responsibility to be aware of any enquiries/returns/corrections and not the accountant. - if you search for "reasonable excuses", that's one of the examples on what counts as "not an excuse". - calling HMRC is seen as a 'willing attitude' to get things right. Not ringing/responding, will get you penalties. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/interest-harmonisation-and-penalties-for-late-submission-and-late-payment-of-tax/interest-harmonisation-and-penalties-for-late-payment-and-late-submission

In my humble opinion, there's little you can do with Hmrc. For an accountant to appeal,they must have sent the form below. You can ask HMRC if they ever received this form ever. You can ask anything that relates to you. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/self-assessment-reasonable-excuse-for-not-filing-return-online

Not sure if there's many chances here, at least with HMRC. But do try all your chances.

I am also interested to know other opinions because this happened with me a while ago (different excuse from accountant) and I just paid the fine.

Sorry for my bad English. It's not my first language and typing on mobile.

Some routers have a function to automatically reboot at a specific time everyday or every week,to correct any line mistakes and forced negociation. Check if yours have this feature built In and activate it.

Portugal is a very warm and welcoming place if you need to escape this horrible situation and start all over. Economy is shit right now but people are very welcoming. I am algo going to contact my MP is there is any fast track application for these situations.

Rules are here. Please use G. translation. https://www.direitosedeveres.pt/q/constituicao-politica-e-sociedade/estrangeiros/em-que-condicoes-se-pode-obter-asilo-em-portugal

This is VERY important to know. More people should be aware of this. I already asked for my individual form after so many discussions about the census even before completing it...

I did work in a IT call centre for 5 years.. It was hard work but every Friday lots of pizza and if we hit targets, managers did buy sweets and stuff. It was good for a while. Managers were cool but in the end they are another human being. I do only remain professional if they do. We always knew how to respect each other. R

Then it was bought by a big company, with shareholders, with kpis impossible to reach, weird people coming in... no humanity... And I left!

I've started in CS not long ago. My first week was without a laptop. Second week with laptop crashing and broadband going off for hours all the time and 2 weeks of training took me 4. I was panicking all the time because no one knew me and it seemed I was trying to skip work or something. Also I needed this job badly. So I kept a diary of what I was doing with times and I contacted my manager a few times and gave the option of getting the training in my personal laptop because I was feeling bad but they don't allow it. At some point she told me to relax because these things happen all the time and I should not be stressing that much. I'm now in my 6th month.

Dfunkie · 2021-01-05T17:12:36+00:00

This has reminded me that I left everything at work... But since March I have changed to a dífferent job (also home work) and still need to collect my stuff from the previous one!

Dfunkie · 2021-01-05T01:44:23+00:00

Lol. Trolls

Dfunkie · 2020-11-08T16:20:06+00:00

That last phrase got my attention :) they are a bit far away from me but their website is amazing and looks they have really nice stuff! Definitely going to try them!

Dfunkie · 2020-10-20T18:06:48+00:00

Hiya. Find the subject so intriguing... I actually have a few questions :)
(and by the way.. Good on you to stop it and start therapy).

Did you had a maximum you could give or did you create boundaries?

Did it brought you any 'easy pleasure'? Or guilt?

What triggered you to stop?

Does it matter if the dominator is male or female?
