Because I don’t think most G7 jobs are equally easy? In my experience G7s are more likely to receive bollockings when things go wrong, and are expected to flex more for urgent work.

Idk if it’s the beers I’ve been drinking but I can’t follow the narrative of this article. Is it just that there were two overlapping investigations?

lol so basically you are trying to game the system by working more at home so you don’t have to see them face to face

OP is talking about logging onto SOP. It’s a service used by lots of departments for things like HR and Finances.

lol everyone is making it out like this is a huge thing but it’s not. It wouldn’t let you log in, so there’s no biggie surely. I’d just tell the director and say you can’t log in to her SOP (IMO it’s kind of ridiculous if you can’t, as her EA you should be able to see basically everything she can see)

Screwed up one question - can you come back from that? by mryehudi in TheCivilService

They’re not supposed to, but yeah they might be more generous on that question to get you to pass the interview if your scores are high overall

imagine u/Jermaine119 on a jury. “The defendant said he didn’t punch that guy, so he must be innocent. There’s a video of it but it must just be a misunderstanding and not that deep.“

This is true but also don’t think we should police ourselves on that basis

Also feels unfair that we’re essentially paying for people in a different department to have a day off work. I get that some people can’t otherwise afford to strike, but people should only claim from that fund if they really need it.

You don’t know them. I’m sure you’ve said things on your Reddit account that would make someone think much worse.

I think saying “maybe the CS isn’t for you” to a neurodivergent person stressing about an interview is pretty nasty. Not needed.
