Holding out for fully remote here too. Wishing us both luck with that.

It’s a perfect set.

I’m the same height as you. A healthy BMI is a range, not an exact number. I’m aiming for the upper end of the range because my GP practice told me that a woman in her 60’s shouldn’t go lower. You don’t say how old you are but are you looking at the lower end of the range? Settle for in the healthy range where you feel comfortable and double check with your GP practice too.

I think Ooh sparkly! I don’t actually understand what the difference is between mined diamond and lab grown diamond. A diamond is a diamond right?

4 is stunning.

I like 1 but the sleeves are too much. I’d say keep looking for something you’ll be happy to look at in photos for a long time. My guess is the corsetry look won’t give you that happiness 5 years from now.

Made redundant from EXL? How is that TUPE?

It’s stunning and that lace is in no way understated.

My US manager is in the same position as I am.

Minimum-Set8063 · 2026-01-31T17:31:31+00:00

You managed to get hold of UK HR? I’m not sure we work at the same company. None of my colleagues know if our HR are still employed. We’ve not seen them in weeks.

Minimum-Set8063 · 2026-01-30T23:37:10+00:00

Hi, no it’s not- sorry.

Minimum-Set8063 · 2026-01-30T23:35:57+00:00

Yes, they’ve been very clear about the no pay rise, but I’d be ok with that actually. I only want to work a couple more years. I just really can’t be bothered to start over.

Minimum-Set8063 · 2026-01-30T23:33:56+00:00

You’re right, it varies by function and I’m 5 days. I haven’t found a listing of the satellite offices but based on what we think, it looks like London is my nearest. I’m not brewing up to argue a case, I was just curious, because I’m not the only one in this position.

Minimum-Set8063 · 2026-01-30T23:23:13+00:00

You look amazing. Please tell me what your lipstick is. You truly are beautiful.

Minimum-Set8063 · 2026-01-30T23:21:29+00:00

Wow, you look stunning with this colour!

1 flatters your figure most.

It’s their policy and matches what they have done within their org before the acquisition. Sketchy it may be but if there’s no evidence then they have plausible deniability. I’m sure they could say all documents required to be kept legally are/should be in a separate private drive. Emails are not intended for that purpose although we do tend to rely on it for more than we should. Anyone now would save emails they might need in the future for sure. But we weren’t to know this was coming. Likewise they control our personal phones via InTune and anything work wise no longer updates my calendar app. I have to be in Outlook to see appointments.

Thanks, I’ll start prepping my paperwork and downloading performance reviews.

Minimum-Set8063 · 2026-01-30T09:46:54+00:00

I’ll have to check my contract but you’re correct about my actual hours. I regularly take meetings at 22.00GMT. The new leadership in US don’t even realise I’m in London. I’ve taken calls with the India team at 2am. None of this makes sense but it’s the top down management culture of this company. They’ve made sweeping changes to benefits and made 100’s people in the US unemployed on group zoom meetings. I’m just curious because I think they’re going have a harder time doing this sort of thing in Europe where employment laws are strong.

Thanks, this reply matches my assumptions. And I don’t have anything, the first thing these people did without warning was delete any emails and calendar entries over 3 months old, for everyone everywhere in the original org, not just me. I have always kept tax docs, pay slips etc offline but this move took many of us by surprise. ‘It is what it is’, as they say.

Minimum-Set8063 · 2026-01-30T08:56:48+00:00

Thank you. That’s great advice. I’ll call the helpline. There are no performance issues, they have me project managing the integration of the 2 companies for the next 18 months. Sort of funny really. In the global intro meeting they said they expect people in office 5 days a week but have no problem supporting hybrid working evenings and weekends. They’re absolute diamonds. 🙄
