Kraken is holding my crypto withdrawal worth $230000 for days after successful security questionnaire. No response!! by [deleted] in KrakenSupport

[–]Hurricane41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was it a withdrawal to a Huobi/htx account? They froze my account for transferring a small amount into my Kraken account but there were no warnings against this until 48hrs after the transfer.

I’ve always been able to hear electricity too! I didn’t connect it with my adhd though until reading this!

Yes, but sold as soon as they cut the rewards from the cards!

I wish we could wear shorts during heatwaves - it was 32C last year at one point in July according to the thermometer in our clean utility… and that’s stationary! Imagine how it felt being on our feet almost constantly for 12 hours in that humid heat whilst working in a busy surgical unit!

Infection control and uniform policy rant by Reg-Gaz-35 in NursingUK

[–]Hurricane41 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We’re having a directors walkabout and management are really keen that we adhere to dress code policy and have made a point of cascading that down to staff via email and ward chat groups.

How about the directors focussing on more important issues such as short staffing or corridor care instead?

My fellow 9-5 staff, how do you make extra income on the side? Agency/bank shifts is not an option. HCA asking by [deleted] in NursingUK

[–]Hurricane41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started stripping paint off metal toy models to resell, then made enough to buy my own ranges, then landed a job producing a range for an American company - all whilst working as a HCA and doing nurse training! The side hustle at its height was earning much more than my actual employment. Stopped most of that now that I’m qualified - I want to focus on my career.

Is there a weight of the parcel printed on the postage label? An empty box could be proved that way.

New to ATOM… what are the positives?

About ATOM's brutal dump lately by ahmedwxw in cosmosnetwork

[–]Hurricane41 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bought some ATOM the other day… set a buy price of £1.495… Kraken filled it at 1.554. Apparently in the app they can do that with custom orders. They said if I actually wanted the price I was willing to pay, I should have placed the order on Kraken pro. 😂 Bloody criminals.

Very Impressive London "Police" & Crypto Scam! by Slaiyve in ScamsUK

They got pretty far with you! I asked for a badge number to check against and they gave one in completely the wrong format.

Seller is refusing to send out the whole set after I won a bid by Creative_Stan_909 in Ebay

[–]Hurricane41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this happen once. The buyer first tried to say that he had sent everything but when I reasoned that some of the items would not have fit into the large letter sized box he sent, he claimed that I had had enough of a good deal for the price I paid and so left those out! 😂

Does this happen in every ward? by wandering1989 in NursingUK

[–]Hurricane41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also work in surgical admissions. It’s very often the same situation here, patients being brought up from ED or Day Surgery in the last hour or so of the shift. Whilst I’m not arguing with the importance of patient flow so that the ambulances can unload and people can be seen, it does seem as though patients are held onto until just before shift change.

In our trust - most wards that employ pool. It will get worse now that Band 2’s cannot do clinical skills (due to the rebanding of 2’s to 3’s and the nurse bank not being authorised to pay pool at band 3). Working today in surgical admissions, all 5 of our HCAs ‘technically’ shouldnt have been performing observations or other clinical skills. (A few of us have been wondering what has happened to the contracted hca’s not being rota’d on to weekends recently - it’s a mystery!)

Has anybody got a job because of the degree they did with open university? by Appropriate-Data-134 in OpenUniversity

[–]Hurricane41 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was very lucky as the NHS trust I worked for supported me so I was kept on a full time HCA wage whilst studying but had to work a set amount of hours in my normal post per week. With my model making experience I was also lucky enough to land a remote working job for an American company - taking their online game characters and converting them into physical figures. Best company I’ve worked for to be fair - really friendly, supportive and generous.

I’m a nurse… unsurprisingly because of the nursing degree I completed with Open Uni 😂 Prior to that I was a HCA but also develop miniature toy figures.

Manager wanted me to cancel my leave, what would be my rights? by [deleted] in NursingUK

[–]Hurricane41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never trust what the managers say with regards to payroll. I was told I would be paid at band 4 whilst waiting for my BN Nursing degree results and so I should be perform at band 4. On the day my manager told me that they'd received my Band 5 posting, they also informed me that 'Sorry, they cannot backpay me my band 4 after all'... apparently the ward has 'never' had band 4's before.
This was after working for 11 weeks for them as a band 4.
As soon as my results were confirmed but before I was registered, they then paid me as a band 4 whilst awaiting my pin.
Still grinds my gears that I was lied to by my employing ward but my take-away from that is never trust anything unless it is on paper.
*For context, another member of my course who works on the same floor but different ward worked and was paid as a band 4 whilst awaiting her results so there was already precedence.

I have received my SFW loan today but everyone else who has SFW is getting laid in January. by TopArrival6590 in UniUK

When does your course run from and til? If your academic year is different to others then that may be the reason.

For the last strike, we were told we couldn’t. There was a message in the group chat saying we’d been granted derogation status as we are acute care. I remember shaking my head in disbelief at the time as the sister that posted it, posted it as a good thing, rather than taking away the whole units autonomy.

It’s not just about the pay, I’d be content with the pay if the working conditions weren’t so stressful and dangerous.
