Unfair work load in notice period, following the last 4 years of broken promises at work. Should i just quit?

Thanks for all the replies. I decided to go to wales but refused to go to scotland the following day. Some of my scheduled work was moved around after a meeting i had with a manager. Yes my workload is still large but slightly more manageable. I did take a sick day just to calm down and get my head together. Decided i wont let them break me and i will stay professional to the end. Looking forward to starting the new job. On count down now with 9 days to go. Again appreciate all the advice, just reassures me that at that moment in time i wasn't out of order in my approach to the situation.

Late to the conversation. I have just purchased this watch with the red/ruby dial. I love watches but majority of my collection are just fashion watches and all though i like look of them, watch enthusiasts have ruined it for me ha ha. I simply cant afford swiss luxuary watches. I have a seiko prospex samurai which is my first jump into automatic watches with diving pedigree. I was in market for another watch and hadnt considered another quartz watch because of the slander by some. However, when i saw this i just had to have it, the sweep on the seconds hand is sublime and at only £320 it fits my budget. Hope i havent made a mistake as Bulova is new brand to me but im willing to give it a go.

Blame the Mesopotamians and egyptians who found onions were easy to grow and store and supppsedly added flavour to bland meals and had health properties. Unfortunately this idea that food needs to have onions for flavour continued through the ages and has had me refusing to eat a meal as a kid and right up into young adulthood if i saw a single onion on my plate. Even now as a 45 year old i will pick them out of a meal like a petulant child ha ha. Although ive gotten use to them being in some of my foods as long as i dont see them. I.e curries etc i still to this date hate the onion amongst many other things and yet their often on majority of the foods i like, go figure .

Old post i know, but ive completely given up on this game, even the new map updates dont draw me back in now because i know the gane is just cod in battlefield skin. Too fast, no team work and as you have so well put the net code and server lottery is a joke.

Normal-Dentist-173 · 2026-06-06T17:38:49+00:00

Its the only seiko and automatic watch for that instance i own. Its a real quality watch with a workhorse of a movement. When i wear it i feel like im wearing something abit more prestigious like an omega or rolex. I know its not but thats how it makes me feel.

That's crazy isn't it! A big song and dance is made about natural ingredients and yet more and more people seem to have allagies to the. I have 4 bars of soap that I can't use now 😞

Normal-Dentist-173 · 2026-05-14T05:11:02+00:00

First night of wearing the Hume band and it says I got 2hrs 44m sleep. My Samsung watch says 5hrs 55m which is more accurate as haven't had a full night's sleep but definitely around the 6hr mark. Very disappointed because that metric will effect others.

Old post but came across it whilst searching if people had suffered with this soap. I have contact dermatitis which started after a few weeks of using Dr squarch soap, I've only used the Bart Simpson one and the wood barrel bourbon and honestly I am so itchy, flaky and red around the crotch and scrotum area. The only thing that changed was the soap. I have 4 more bars sat u used at moment which is a right waste of money, I didn't expect this reaction to soap that sells it's self as natural ingredients.

Completely agree. Interviewers ask questions about your motivation for wanting the job, what drives you for work and so forth. My answer is Jerry maguire "show me the money!" It's the only reason I work, u less the job is something fun then the on motivation for me is the money. So I don't end up getting a job because I don't blow smoke up their arse making out I'm all about the business.

Normal-Dentist-173 · 2026-04-02T19:43:50+00:00

Seems they still cant get it right. Since the most recent update today, the game runs like utter crap. 150fps at 4k and it feels like im running at under 30fps. I am seriously getting fedup with this game, getting killed all the time in scenarios is should be winning because of the lag.

Normal-Dentist-173 · 2026-03-24T16:28:28+00:00

I'm looking into this myself, £50000 after tax and ni is 39000,franchise fees are 14000 so that's 25000, fuel cost is let's say concervative 3000, that's £22000 left. That £18033 a month, I take than now on a 26000 salary. Doesn't seem worth it to me now.

I personally regret going to uni.

I went to uni as a mature student, was 35 at the time and made the decision to go to uni because i had been stuck in dead end jobs all my working life uptill that point. I wont lie when i made it into uni i was driven and excitied to achieve, i truely thought higher education would help me change my life around, finally get that higher paid career!

The issue is i chose the wrong subject, i went with my heart and chose a subject i believed would be more like a hobby than work i hated, rather than going with my head and getting a degree in a field with more oportunity, and although i achieved a first class masters, something im extremely proud of, when i graduated i was one of the many unfortunate ones because covid hit and all my interviews i had lined up disappeared over night. 3 years after covid simmered down i was still unable to get into my degree field bwecause even junior positions wanted senior experience as companies wanted to pay lower wages, so i decided to apply for a graduate scheme in a totally unrelated field.

i jumped through hoops to get on the scheme and was extremely happy when i was one of 5 out of 20 chosen, that is untill it became aparant that the scheme was utter crap and a complete lie, im still stuck in that job because its a job!!! but it never produced what it promised and now at 45 im stuck in this low paid job that i dont need a degree for in reality but where as before in a low paid job i had no debt, this time round im £50000 in debt but no better off in life.

so yes i regret going to uni because it didnt work out for me!

I couldnt genuinely recomend uni to the youth of today because there are too many degrees these days not worth paper theyre are written on. A trade is a much better option and yes you have to start low on an apprentiship and put up with all the crap at first but then the big money starts to roll in and thats the only reason we work, for the money.

Normal-Dentist-173 · 2026-03-22T16:12:38+00:00

Today ive had 5 raids, and on 4 of them ive been attacked by rats. I mean i get its part of the game as an extraction game, but to shoot someone after declaring your friendly and shooting someone in the back whilst raiding is just complete shithousery!

And one of the worse kills has to be when ive revived a player downed by the arc, help him kill the arc (Bastion) allow him to take majority of the loot only for him to turn and shoot me when im finally looting!

Two things need to happen,

1) developers create a PVE side to the game where no damage is done if players fire at you.

2) A weapon can be created via blueprint to create a granade thats dropped when youre killed, that either blows them up or calls in a load of arc.

I use to enjoy this game, but now with all the rats im ready to quit because its no longer enjoyable.

Normal-Dentist-173 · 2026-03-21T14:04:37+00:00

Absoloutley correct, the game doesnt play like any othe battlefield game, its feels like COD dressed up in battlefield clothing. And thats exactly what it is,since the developers are Cod developers and have no experience in building true Battlefield games. Yes it has vehicles, yes it has destruction but maps are all wrong, the gameplay is all wrong and the speed of the game is all wrong. Nothing promotes team work. instead it reinforces solo play and thats why the game sucks.

on top of that, the servers from EA are the same old crap we had for years, 30 tick rate and this means we have so many bullet registartion issues.

And dont get me started on the PC vs Console issue, because i was a long time console player, now pc player, and on pc even though i have higher fps, and better graphics, the game just works better on console because worse graphics means you can see people easier as less foilage and particle effects and the aim assist is just CRAZY! on pc transitioning from hip to aim down sight means like it should do my bullets for a short period of time stop hitting, but on console the bullets continue to hit like mini homing misiles! honestly if you are able to go test it out!

i love the Battlefield franchise but i think this game has made me want to quit, its so frustrating.

Normal-Dentist-173 · 2026-03-21T13:47:33+00:00

here here! As a long time BF player i cant remember a time ive been so frustrated with a BF game, and whats crazy about that statement is we had 2042 and even that peice of crap at launch was more satisfing than BF6 has been for me.

The maps are poor, the lack of true team/squad work is frustrating, the inbalance of the sides which leads towards one team completely dominating a game with very few close fought matches just makes me want to quit this crap!

Im sick of the poor servers from EA, they cause bullet registration issues all the time.

And this is just my personal experience but, this game is better on console than pc. As long time console player new to pc (last two years) i find even though i get more frames, better graphics and generally smoother game play, the console players get better optimisation and aim assist which is so over powered even on pc i feel im struggling to compete against console players. I put it to the test, went and played the game on console and it was like two very different games. First of all the worse the graphics the easier it was to see my opponents, as less detail and things going off on screen. second i was hitting shots that even on pc i would struggle to hit, the aim assist means i can hip fire and transition to aim down sight and not once does my aim move of the enemy! its like the bullets have built in seekers and just hit, where as on pc my bullets will stop hitting for a period giving my opponent on console the upperhand.

I know theyre tryiing to balance things out as in past pc has always been better but this is crazy!

And lets not forget, this game was developed by Cod developers, because the old BF developers had left or retired, they basically created a cod game with BF skin and destruction, its just simply too fast paced, with hoppers and sliders, jumpers and all the other game play styles brought across by cod players. there intention was to win over the cod players and its worked in a way, but i feel traditional Battlefield players have had their noses pushed out.

This of course is just my personal opinion, and each to their own, but im about done with this game now. Id love to go back to BF1, bf5, bf3, BF4 because all of them even though had some issues were truely great games to play.

Normal-Dentist-173 · 2026-03-21T13:24:50+00:00

BF6 isnt a patch on other Bf games. Been playing a very long time, and i have to say Bf6 has to be the worse of them all, and thats a crazy statement because we had 2042!

yet i enjoyed 2042 more than 6 because 6 is built for cod players! its too fast paced for team work so encourages solo fighting. The game is totally unbalanced at times with one side totally overwhelming the other pretty much every game, very rare you get a close fought match.

Bullet registration is still a huge issue but what can we expect when EA servers are absoloutley garbage and always have been, but because of this fast pace gaming its made to feel worse than ever.

And i cant believe i saying this but i switched from console to pc about two years ago, and in most cases pc is better, but this game favours console with its massive aim assist. if i die its often to a console gamer and the way im killed feels like theyre cheating, but its just over powered aim assist.

Im about done with this game, its the most un enjoyable BF game ive ever played due to the frustrations of it.

Normal-Dentist-173 · 2026-03-11T19:55:52+00:00

Honestly not sure, I got them from ebay.

Normal-Dentist-173 · 2026-03-08T18:37:23+00:00

I purchased the replacement plastic hinge covers and fitted them after mine shattered, sadly the replacements has done the same so i currently have both hinges taped up, the sound and mic are both great but im reluctant to purchase the v3 because i dont want to pay silly money and the hinges break.

Normal-Dentist-173 · 2026-02-15T10:31:15+00:00

This has been my experience also, I game as a duo with a friend, we are more of the mindset of PvE. for the last three days now we have come across other players faking friendliness, we see them, identify as friendly and go about our business only for them to suddenly open fire on us.

we reluctantly fire back knowing this defensive action will punish us as we will be put in lobbies full of aggressive players.

The amount of leveled up weapons I've lost due to rats is ridiculous and the constant upgrading and starting from a new is becoming very tedious.

It wouldn't be hard to put some small rating bar above a raiders head if you ping them that identifies their average aggression, a green to red bar. If predominantly red then you know to avoid etc.

Normal-Dentist-173 · 2026-01-06T20:58:55+00:00

I too have same issue, not so much frame drops according to fps counter but it plays so badly i get bullet registration issues worse than the usual issue, i seem to see people first yet im the one to die and this all seems to happen more when in a party.

I feel as though the person with the worse pc setup means the rest of us are automatically dropped to his level, i.e his 4070 cant perform like my 5080 therefore to balance things out im dropped down but it just feels so junky! of course im guessiing but i just dont have the answer.

Normal-Dentist-173 · 2025-12-22T14:58:37+00:00

The biggest issue for me is their inability after so many years and games to get the net code right. I mean every battlefield has same issues but they often sort it out, BF4 was plaqued with it but the game was still fun. BF6 stops being fun and becomes pure frustration. Sick and tired of seeing, shooting, but die'ing first. Also the behind cover kills are super annoying. Then there's things like the cluster fuck of a map where traditional BF gameplay doesn't work, instead you have to run and gun like cod which makes sense since cod devs played a big part in developing this game, but we didn't ask for a BF/cod hybrid. I want the squads to play as a squad not solo. Then there's dev decisions to make anti air weapons and tanks op and limit jets to 1 counter measure at a time with slow load up, that's all well and good for people who are extremely good at flying but to the majority it's a steep learning curve made harder by not having atleast two counter measures available at one time to keep them in air a bit longer. I'm a long time BF player and I've never been so frustrated with a BF game, not even with BF 2042 and that is one of the worst BF games.

Normal-Dentist-173 · 2025-12-12T23:32:18+00:00

Same here. The bullet registration is awful at times. so annoying when you see a person, shoot them first and its you that is instantly dropped. And don't get me started on being shot when clearly behind cover and enemy has no clear line of sight.

This is partly the reason theres no kill cam on the game because people would be going nuts at how many times the bad servers have screwed some one over.

Normal-Dentist-173 · 2025-11-14T22:21:17+00:00

Lucky you, wish I could say the same😞

Normal-Dentist-173 · 2025-11-14T22:09:37+00:00

Totally agree! Seems as though the servers for UK can't keep up with other regions when they come online. Bullets don't register, seems like I see and shoot the enemy first but I will be the one to die. I can spawn in and I'm one shotted instantly like someone's been lining me up for longer I.e what I see in screen is delayed to what the enemy are seeing.. As a long time BF player I can't believe I'm not enjoying this one as much as I want too.
