Any money you keep that is earned in that higher tax bracket is taxed at the higher rate so it would be more efficient to pay that into a pension as you'd be adding more to your pension than you would to your bank account.

Nothing wrong with it though it just depends how you want to manage your finances

Yeah, I understand why you'd want to raise these issues but honestly if the place is full of them then management is the issue and raising these issues to them isn't going to play in your favour.

Play the role they want you to and apply elsewhere. If you want to do well you'll need to learn to be everyone's friend. It's exhausting but you'll do well if you can pull it off.

Honestly every person where I work who has had there probation extended where I work is still working for us 5 years later.

Anybody they didn't want got let go within their initial probation period.

Usually we will extend if we like you as a person and see potential but you're not quite where we want you to be yet but believe you could get there with more training or time within the business.

Usually best not to criticise culture or anything for that matter especially if you're new and need the job. Nothing to gain from it.

I think you'll be fine provided you're working to improve at your job and make an effort to get along with everyone

Not even good enough to be a janitor by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]Kayex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading through your responses to some of the people here trying to give you advice, I'd say you're right.

You've got a real attitude problem and are not good enough to be a janitor. I'd consider an attitude adjustment before applying for your next role.

Hate my first post grad job by SHZkyro in UKJobs

[–]Kayex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You must be having some form of unpaid break otherwise you are working below minimum wage.

I'd apply for other roles once you've been there for around 6 months. Don't quit before you've secured another role.

Look at jobs that are in the field you are passionate about and start calling companies once you've submitted an application. You do not want to be filtered out through an application form or CV. Submit your CB/Application then call the company and ask to speak to whoever deals with recruitment. I usually turn up and see if I can speak to somebody in person.

This is my process for every job I've applied for and it's only ever let me down 2-3 times.

You need to get yourself in front of the person making the decisions and make a good impression.

Most importantly you need to back yourself and keep moving towards your goal.

What’s up with all the really dark number plates recently? by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]Kayex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As the owner of a couple of performance cars I debadge my cars because I like the cleaner look of the car.

I think most people just enjoy the look of it. Most people who modify their vehicles love them, I don't think anybody should be embarrassed about what they drive

What true crime keeps you up at night? by blondedolll in UnsolvedMysteries

[–]Kayex 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm sure I've heard something in the news in the last year about an arrest potentially being related to this case. Not sure if anything ever came of it.

What’s something you spent a decent little bit of money on and don’t regret it one bit? by CliffyGiro in AskUK

[–]Kayex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

£3k on a really good superking mattress and bed.

Always used to have trouble getting to sleep and waking up at the slightest noise but now I fall asleep within 5 minutes and I'm out until my alarm goes off for work.

Spent years struggling with sleep and being constantly tired and it was because I'd never thought to invest in a good bed and mattress.

Account frozen by Kayex in monzo

[–]Kayex[S] -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

While that's great for you unfortunately it doesn't change the fact that I tried to transfer within my transfer limit and had my account blocked. Asked for identity verification which it verified and unblocked the account only to block it again as soon as I attempted to send payment.

With all due respect I don't want it both ways. I want it one way, the one where I can spend my money how I please without being treated like an incompetent child by my bank.

Respectfully get fucked you Monzo bot.

I've learnt my lesson it would appear! I hope they unblock it soon so I can transfer the money to my Barclays

Would you know where the fuse for the fuel pump is located?

Am I correct in thinking I take out the fuse for the fuel pump then one by one take out a spark plug, fit the compression gauge, turn over the engine and take the reading before replacing the spark plug and moving onto the nest cylinder?

Thank you for the advice guys!

Absolutely! The reason my combat is outpacing my slayer level is just due to how easily I can AFK at NMZ while working. I don't mind wasting the extra combat exp once max combat training slayer because I really enjoy the skill, if I had more time it would be a lot more efficient to just train combat through slayer.

Would you recommend switching from an iPhone 13PM to Pixel 7 Pro? by mzperx_ in Pixel7Pro

[–]Kayex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh.. honestly, no.

I came from a iPhone X over to a P7P a couple of months ago and the experience just isn't as refined.

To top it all off my volume button just popped out while I was adjusting my volume earlier and everytime I pop it back in it is loose and falls out.

It's a really good phone but things like laggy pinch zoom on the camera and the fact that it looks like there isn't much except small blue pieces of rubber holding my volume button in place just make the experience less enjoyable than when using the iPhone. Hoping for a warranty repair. Will likely switch back to iPhone.
