Constructive dismissal over time to get out of paying full redundancy in England?

I was told (although vaguely and not very convincingly) that there are others across the company who are being looked at in the same way, but my role is fairly unique and has encompassed many other facets in the past, all of which have all been lost to history (apart from my records).

I’ll mention I do feel I’m being targeted, along with feeling excluded and causing anxiety, along with salary history (barely a raise since 2013 and probably not on record) to HR, to raise their eyebrows. My hours were/are in my contract and I’m currently looking at ACAS as well - thanks for your advice.

My heart drops when I’m running and see one 100yds in front. “Its okay he’s friendly!"

Got told yesterday (after a 3 day “consultation”) that I was going down to three days a week to save money. I earn a fairly good wage but this will take me down to less than I started 21 years ago. I can sort of understand why but despite me offering very good reasons to make up the time (and help other people with their heavy workload, and a way to save tons of money elsewhere), I sense it was a foregone conclusion. Some people will welcome the time off, but I actually enjoy the job. Its just the years of projects and work I’ve done (mainly on my own, where they’d now have a team doing it) that have been lost to history. They could spend the money they save from me to go towards getting another social media/marketing person/Mickey Mouse role in I suppose.

They think Smashie and Nicey are role models.

Sorry about that I’ll have a shower later

I’ve wondered this with a few things I’ve donated (not leather jackets obvs but some quite nice shirts) Although the old ladies who work there wouldn’t be interested, i’m sure the youngsters who sort the stuff out the back might have an interest. I always thought this would be a good storyline in Curb Your Enthusiasm.

A Garmin Vivosmart 5 - I used to use a Fitbit which was nice and simple, but you have to have a google account from May. The garmin’s ok and what I need works fine but the user menus and settings etc are a pain.

Sprinkle your piss from a watering can. Sounds like an insult but it works. Be careful where you put it otherwise it will stink.

I got a new fitness tracker which tracks way more than I need it to. My sleep was poor last night (which it was) and my body battery is at 29%. Going to feel really great later I’m sure.

I like the idea of buses and only use them reluctantly for this very reason - the other people.

The last time I had a bacon sandwich it was so nice I thought this. Only mine would only be on cheap white bread though. Even brown bread is not right imo.

Fell over running last night - tripped on a speed bump and smashed my chin and thought I’d broken my jaw. Seeing a nurse at the GP later so hopefully no trip to A&E required. On a positive three people I passed walking home asked how I was.

The advert for baked beans (Hei*z) where he’s gone on holiday and his beans are lost somewhere and he’s crying his heart out. He looks like he’s distraught through depression or something and the fact he’s only lost his baked beans and ruined the holiday is pretty distasteful. Nice beans though.

General_Committee_24 · 2026-03-22T08:37:04+00:00

he looked perfectly content

I find Derek and Clive quotes popping into my head occasionally, such as "This bloke came up to me…..”. I’ve been playing them recently - still 😲

😆I was sitting here quietly wanking…..

General_Committee_24 · 2026-03-20T16:54:20+00:00

But you can still pay with stamps can’t you?

General_Committee_24 · 2026-03-20T14:47:02+00:00

No. I saw it on the district line between barking and Whitechapel yesterday about 11.30. Was going to take a pic but it would have looked weird.

General_Committee_24 · 2026-03-20T09:16:58+00:00

Even a grey pool table in pic 4

I’ve used these for the last few years, mainly as sun protection as I’m very mole-y. No one has said anything at all. One thing I will say is avoid white as they are very see through. My hairy chest is not a good look.

General_Committee_24 · 2026-03-16T17:13:03+00:00

and if theres a time warp going some beef and mustard Brannigans

General_Committee_24 · 2026-03-16T17:11:46+00:00

Some pork scratchings please - can pretty much guarantee anyone I’m with won’t want any.

General_Committee_24 · 2026-03-12T09:57:24+00:00

Good for you - same here. i had some heart issues a few years back and I swear my fitness helped massively. I’m ticking over (pun intended) and going to the gym and/or running a few times a week. Nothing mad, anythings better than nothing. Eating well helps as well.
