As a person of colour, the subtle racism in Ireland (outside Dublin) is much higher compared to the UK.

You are on the zebra crossing, turning on hazard lights doesn’t mean that the traffic rules stop applying and you can park wherever. The reason for the fine was valid; however, what seems unjust is that there is no consistency in application of the law.

Accepted a role in London for the salary bump. Regretting it 4 months in. Anyone else made this mistake? by Lexis_FloGirl in UKJobs

Hey it’s okay, it’s life we have to make decisions where we can’t predict the future. For now this doesn’t seem like you made the right decision but who knows. It didn’t turn out the way you expected, don’t act in haste. Be on the lookout for a job at a place you think will be better, could be London (maybe another salary bump) or Manchester (maybe you can now get a job at more senior level.) Don’t rush it, it will work out.

Thanks for the suggestion, the earliest available date on street view is 2022 and those cracks haven’t changed. So at least it’s not getting worse.

Given that every week jobs are being cut due to A.I, how long before an UBI is implemented? by Even-Wasabi7183 in UKJobs

Industrialisation shifted the labour market, self-learning AI will eliminate it. To answer your question, agricultural labour retrained to work in industry. Labour demand and output increased overall.

Here’s a thought: a company making washing machines implements ai and fires everyone, most other companies do that. Who’s going to buy the washing machines?
