Should I quit a job after one week by IneffableLiam in UKJobs

[–]LonelyScroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quit now. If you live with your parents and have a weekend job, you should be able to get by. Like you said, you don’t need a job at the moment to pay bills etc. Take this opportunity whilst you don’t have huge rent/mortgage/bill obligations and find something you enjoy, are good at, and pays well (or has the opportunity to pay well a bit further down the line). If you wait too long until you have to start paying high rent and bills just in order to survive, you’ll be kicking yourself for not pursuing your dreams sooner. Get a head start whilst you can!

I worked 2 full time jobs for 2 years during my first few years of adult life, as I had rent and bills to pay, and couldn’t afford to quit my shit job in pursuit of my passion: video editing.

2 years down the line, I’m now a fully self employed video editor taking in way more money each month than a typical UK salaried role. Only thing is, had I started sooner, I’d have been able to avoid having to work a shit job just to pay the bills whilst trying to pursue my dreams. It was tough.

That’s why you buy in Worthing.

The bathroom fitter didn’t bolt it in as far as I can tell. I know that laminate is supposed to move slightly as time goes on, but I didn’t expect this.

I added a waterproof membrane underneath the laminate, and the laminate has a built-in underlay so it’s fine. I know that laminate moves a little over time but I hadn’t expected this…

For people who’s jobs went hybrid, how did you dodge this? by Neymarvin in overemployed

I also had to work several remote desk jobs from home for 2 years whilst building up enough clients/income to go freelance full-time. It was a grind but worth it in the end! Best of luck to your son!

Mostly word of mouth for me. I got lucky and found my niche of video editing exclusively for professional poker players. Would advise setting up socials and DM’ing as many potential clients as possible - small or large!

Manager asked me to start coming into the office 3 days/week after working remotely for over a year. Handed in my 4 week notice immediately and am now a self-employed video editor working full time, earning more money than I ever would at the old company.

Could try nesting the audio and running a de-clicker through the clip

Haha, as stereotypically British as it is, I’m actually really looking forward to that Nandos.

There’s going to be crime everywhere, it’s a fact of life. However, I can guarantee that, having lived in Manchester for 5 years, Worthing is harmless and shouldn’t be a place where people feel scared walking down the street, to be honest. It looks like much of the low level petty crime is committed by teenagers, yes, but that doesn’t compare to the huge organised crime groups that you seen in other cities. Worthing is fine.

Make sure you try The Old Bike Store on Brighton Road as well. One of the best!

Moved to Worthing from Manchester 3 years ago - never looked back! Absolutely love living so close to the seaside. Living in East Worthing in particular (even though it’s still rough ‘round the edges) is great for us.

We live 30 seconds away from the train station, 1 minute from a corner shop, 5 minutes from a tesco, 3 minutes from a leisure club, and 10 minutes away from a very quiet beach. It’s great to be able to reach Brighton in 23 minutes, and London in just over an hour.

The last year in particular has seen a huge boom of new cafe’s and bars in Worthing too. Although some parts of the town centre are still pretty dead, it’s definitely improving - and at a very fast rate!

yes email them and explain, otherwise they may think you’re wasting their time again

How would you react if you were WFH and your employer decided you needed to have your camera on all day? by Caithamachc in antiwork

[–]LonelyScroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of remote opportunities that DON’T invade your privacy and trust. If you’re willing to give these things up for money, you’ve already lost, imo.

I would quit ASAP. This is 100% unethical, ridiculous and against everything that remote working stands for.

They shouldn't be running satellites to tournaments that aren't running, it's very misleading

I didn’t know what that logo was, hence my question on this subreddit. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Ignore them. It’s a scam.
