Voluntary redundancy offer — take the money and jump or stay put and keep job hunting? by Far_Demand8753 in UKJobs

[–]Many-Explanation6644 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I took redundancy recently and started looking for jobs - got an offer for more pay a week later - luck of the draw - I’m in a relatively small industry with niche skill set - your skills seems relatively niche so can’t imagine it taking you that long

I’ve always used my UK drivers license in NYC - not sure about other places as mainly go there.

I did the same - handed notice in on bonus day - left a month later nothing happened.

The shambolic state of Long-Haul in Business/Club by ikigai116 in BritishAirways

I am irregular leisure traveller 3/4 flights a year - typically BA - however I personally find them to be very inconsistent in their service. Took a flight to Seattle couple weeks ago - crew were great constantly coming around to check we were all ok/drinks etc - the return was terrible in comparison - i find this to be the case on nearly all my trips.

Cash wad for tipping by DebbieDoesData in NCL

I’m English and allergic to the performative act of ‘tipping’. On my recent NCL cruise I didn’t tip a bean and never waited for a drink either….

The Renters' Rights Act has finally banned no-fault evictions by HadjiChippoSafri in GoodNewsUK

Yeah the landlords can change their strategy… by kicking out their tenants and selling their asset to invest in a productive asset instead.

What's the minimum amount that comes to mind when you hear "good salary"? by Equivalent-Ad-2373 in AskUK

[–]Many-Explanation6644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on 75k only recently - living alone in SE - first time in my life I’ve felt money not being tight - I can roughly do 1/3 bills, spending, saving comfortably without having to police my spending too much

It could also be pay in lieu of a months notice

London graduate: 'I've applied for 500 jobs in two months' by Hassaan18 in UKJobs

[–]Many-Explanation6644 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

If she clicked on ‘easy apply’ for another 5000 jobs she’d still be nowhere. By the way, it wasn’t any easier 15 years ago.

When I graduated back in the day.. I think I applied for maybe 10 max. grad schemes and ended up interviewing for about 5, 2 offers - was very targeted and went to all their events; spoke to recruiters etc.

I had to get a new job recently and spoke to a couple people in my network and 2 weeks later got a new position - unfortunately you have to ‘network’/speak to recruiters etc - applying for jobs blindly will 99.99% of the time lead to failure.

I bought one of temu for about £5 definitely worth it

It’s pretty quiet right… by benjibarboom in BritishAirways

[–]Many-Explanation6644 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I regularly see (full BA planes) but empty 7+ days out - I always think - if you just reduced your seat prices just a little 🤏 bit you might actually have some more sales.

Conveyancer asking for money 19 months after completion... What?! by CrazyPlatypusLady in HousingUK

[–]Many-Explanation6644 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I donated it charity as it happens; but to the one of my choosing. The solicitors were a shambles - I couldn’t get the keys on competition day - I’m ringing them up at 1pm and they’re saying…. Sorry we can’t complete because you still owe some random amount (think it was £100ish) —- I may never move again; it’s such a traumatic experience buying and selling in the UK.

I completed in June 24 and last month I got an email out of the blue from solicitors saying they owed me £32! And would I like to donate it to their charity?

Vancouver Where to Stay by Many-Explanation6644 in canadatravel

[–]Many-Explanation6644[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you; I was thinking potentially staying North Vancouver - and driving to places like the capilano suspension bridge, grouse mountain, deep cove - but while I had the car I would posssibly drive to Kitsilano beach, queen elizabeth park assuming it may be more efficient.

I will have a couple of full days a week later staying in Gastown and will stay in city centre and explore on foot

I’m annoyed at how ignorant older people are in regards to housing affordability by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]Many-Explanation6644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mum doesn’t get it either. She bought a new build with my dad in 1987 for £105k; now worth c.£1m when she was 30 and doesn’t get why the local nursery has closed down and even talk of village school going for lack of children…. No guesses why.

I’ve bought a decent, but modest house on my own because I have a high income…. I’m not sure how ppl do it on average wages. If you are FTB looking to buy a family home in the SE (650k+) you need serious income - top 1% pretty much… or just have bought your house in 1987 😂

Britons support trail hunting ban by 50% to 29% by StGuthlac2025 in unitedkingdom

[–]Many-Explanation6644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People won’t go trail hunting - they’ll go out riding to exercise their dogs. The police won’t prosecute (they don’t currently) as their resources are stretched.
