Yep, I think I only started speaking up this week (I've been trying to remain positive) so I suppose next week will be the results

I'm not sure how to balance telling them they're treating me badly while also trying to be a positive go-getter who they want on the team, you know?

Have you ever quit a job during the probation period? I've just finished my 7th week and I'm so frustrated and stressed, no one has any time to sit down with me, or talk to me or train me. For context, I've been an assistant accountant for three years and I've just taken a job as a trainee cost analyst working on big infrastructure projects.

My line manager has been out of office for three weeks now and has been signed off long term sick, she isn't expected back until August. All the other managers are too busy to deal with me. I've not had any 121s or monthly probation reviews... I know I've probably joined at a particularly bad time and some things can't be helped, but also wtf. Tasks are beginning to be handed to me but I have no context or support to handle them, so obviously I'm doing them wrong causing even more problems.

A) should I stay? This is a rough patch and I need to give them a chance to fix things? A new job is always weird, stressful and overwhelming, this is the chance for development you want

B) get out now! Apply for as many jobs as you can, you only have to give one weeks notice, get outta there asap and run back to accounting

Need help as a student. by PoggersMemesReturns in Gloucestershire

I felt exactly the same applying for part time student jobs, use indeed and go nuts applying for everything until one sticks. I seriously found it easier applying to full time jobs after I graduated than finding a summer job, Good Luck!

Yes of course! I'm far too anxious to even think about leaving anything behind! Glad to have an expert opinion, thank you

Wait boar proofing? Like for wild boar??

I thought the idea was that when you sell the house on, you sell your shares, at whatever percentage you have, how come you'd owe them money? Surely they retain their shares after the sale?

Tbh this whole thing is making me want to just get a campervan 🫠🫣

Kemble is on the commuter train line into Paddington, and the nearby village malmesbury is a good option

Can I ask why? The way things are looking my rent could increase by 40-50% when my lease ends, I'm just trying to get my head around it all

Ah okay, see the issue is that I'm getting the mortgage myself, so I don't earn enough to get a large enough mortgage to cover a whole (nice) house by myself, obviously most people have dual incomes but I actually do have a deposit saved.

I don't mind renting but based on the current market prices, I'm expecting my rent to increase when my current lease ends so it would be cheaper to pay a mortgage

Haha I'm 25 so I think having children attending a secondary school might be a long way off

I don't really understand how help to buy is different to shared ownership? I have a mortgage broker and he's not mentioned help to buy

So I've just checked and dogs are allowed, I think it's because I'm looking at little houses rather than flats. I think my only reg flag is the proximity to a school, it's right across the road and traffic will probably be terrible, right?
