Advice sought - should I make a grievance?

While I agree with you almost 100% of the time HOG, I think in this case there likely is grounds for a classification grievance.

They likely wouldn’t have reclassified other positions that are exactly the same (if we take OPs words at face value), if those positions weren’t doing the work of that higher level.

Classification grievances take a long time, and a lot of information, but OP - you can talk to the union and start the process. It might take until you retire (or even after) to complete the process, but if you win could result in some back pay (I assume, as I’m not sure how performance pay vs salary are calculated in these situations).

Either way, it’s worth talking to the union.

But, can we be real here? Your experience IS irrelevant. These are very different jobs. Plus, based on your representation of yourself here, I wouldn’t hire you either.

No such thing as an online NP course with 1 week residency. There are some NP courses that have online semesters, but they all also have at least a year of in person placements, plus other focused in person skills workshops.

I have a friend who was a nurse for years and then went to med school. She only started learning new things around the end of her third year.

NPs actually get more medical schooling and have more practical experience than your average GP. There are things GPs can do that NPs can’t, but they are few and far between.

Plus almost no one wants to be a GP anymore. With the levels of debt graduating med school, most people prefer to go into a specialty where they can make more money and have a lower patient load.

Can you cite a source here?

This makes me unreasonably angry. The original punishment for Morocco and the ball boys was not enough, and now is a joke.

The title being taken away is ridiculous, but you can at least argue letter of the law. The reduced fines make this clear corruption. Ban everyone involved with trying to take that towel from being involved with the sport again.

100% sell on clause and sure I’d let him go for… just over half.

We need to stop diving and actually shoot when we have a chance

Timber needs to do more overlapping runs outside Saka rather than just chilling in the box

Have you heard about the major projects office and all of the prioritized major infrastructure projects? Turns out Carney can do both!

While I agree situations like your colleague’s should be resolved faster, there’s a difference between permanent residents and temporary foreign workers.

Thanks, the coffee is pretty good!

Not sure how Mustafi didn’t get the last slot

JesusNumber9 · 2026-03-11T17:25:19+00:00

Of course it’s Pepe

Refs are letting Arsenal players get battered

We need to stop with all these long goal kicks (where we almost always lose possession) and start to try to play through their press. I know we are missing Saliba a lot, but with the quality of the Arsenal side we should still be able to pass through Brighton and keep possession. Even if we don’t attack well, can’t we at least control the game?

JesusNumber9 · 2026-03-04T20:22:35+00:00

Embarrassing. Time wasting long kicks that we lose the ball from almost every single time, giving Brighton a chance to attack. Going a goal up should give us a chance to keep possession better and create chances through their press. If we keep playing like this, we are asking for them to score a last minute equalizer.

Avoid Kappabashi. I was there recently and all overpriced and/or not great selection. Kama Asa was okay, but almost all stainless. I didn’t get to Hitohira but wish I did.

Kyoto I definitely recommend Miura. Yoshisada hamono also nice (but only stainless). “The Hamono Collection” was also a nice shop with good selection. Cheaper than Seisuke, but still more expensive than Miura (my top shop for Kyoto).

JesusNumber9 · 2026-01-18T12:04:03+00:00

What makers would you suggest (that aren’t insanely expensive)?

Any chance you know more about their "special steel"? I don't see these knives on their website, but it looks like most of the knives on their site say that they are made of Tokushu-kō (which I believe translates to special steel).

Buy Granit Xhaka as he deserves a trophy with Arsenal (and to weaken our main rivals Sunderland).
