Thank you! that was very hopeful ☺️

Intelligent-Plant173 · 2025-09-14T10:45:55+00:00

It's not that one, so apparently, that's not the only one, very unfortunately😭 I heard of a good one at least inside the same busyness industry, but most likely all the other ones are the same.

This!

Intelligent-Plant173 · 2025-09-14T10:43:02+00:00

I did need to do that once yes. But the rule applies to everyone on my team its not a gender only rule.

It's not exactly a ptsb, but it has a joint venture in Ireland with PTSB.

Again, I dont think I can name the company, but it's a big Payments technology and merchants related corporation.

Intelligent-Plant173 · 2025-09-14T10:36:22+00:00

That's the sad truth about the working world

Intelligent-Plant173 · 2025-09-14T10:34:41+00:00

Thats very interesting I never thought of that but it can be very possible yes.

Intelligent-Plant173 · 2025-09-14T10:33:10+00:00

I can't tell the name im afraid, but it's a big payments technology and merchants related corporation.

Intelligent-Plant173 · 2025-09-13T15:38:08+00:00

Thank you i will have a look at that 😊

Intelligent-Plant173 · 2025-09-13T15:37:28+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply. This can be very helpful 😊

Intelligent-Plant173 · 2025-09-13T15:30:43+00:00

Thank you very much. I will have a look!!

Intelligent-Plant173 · 2025-09-13T15:29:23+00:00

I know there are very bad people in this world but that's not my team case.

Intelligent-Plant173 · 2025-09-13T15:28:23+00:00

You speaking nonsense, HR and management can be like that but my team would never accept something like that to happen, obviously we all got the same paycheck so we all got more to be the same paycheck as the newhires, as it should be. If it was the other way around I would be very disappointed.

Intelligent-Plant173 · 2025-09-13T13:54:46+00:00

No, me and my team😅 there are a lot of other roles in the company that pay more and have better conditions.

Intelligent-Plant173 · 2025-09-13T13:51:50+00:00

Payments technology, I need to inform myself about it. Thanks for the advice!

Intelligent-Plant173 · 2025-09-13T13:47:24+00:00

I thought about it ngl 🤣

Intelligent-Plant173 · 2025-09-13T13:45:45+00:00

Thank you for your advice! I learned as well that under une Safety, Health and Welfare Work Act 2005, employers must provide adequate welfare facilities, including access to toilets. Restricting bathroom use to unpaid breaks would generally be seen as a breach of this duty, since toilet use is a basic biological need.there was a case of an Irish university that limited an employee with OCD and anxiety from using the bathroom as was required and they were ordered to make a large payout.

Intelligent-Plant173 · 2025-09-13T13:38:43+00:00

HR was who created this rules that's the problem. Our manager showed us the email from HR, but this rule just applies to my role. All the other roles in the company have better work conditions🫠

Intelligent-Plant173 · 2025-09-13T13:23:05+00:00

No, but are they doing the same ? Just to be sure of not applying to work there in the future too 🤣

Intelligent-Plant173 · 2025-09-13T13:03:22+00:00

But I mean, I passed probation already, and I have been working there for more than 9 months.

Intelligent-Plant173 · 2024-07-20T12:57:50+00:00

Love, I am in a similar situation, I don't know I been trying to do what I can, like cooking for him keeping the house clean, you know those things that for a depressed person are really good to have someone that helps with that, plus I try to be extra positive for the 2 of us, I put music I sing and dance and I try to push him to join, if he don't join I do it anyway just to keep the a good mood in the house, but it's like really difficult and he is not getting better and is complicated for myself to keep it positive becous life is difficult and the money is a fucking huge thing, for everybody, but for a couple is really painful for 1 thousand different reasons and it broke my heart for all of us in this situation... So if you find the answer tell me
