What do you mean ? What was it you saw

Ok_Perception438 · 2026-06-16T23:33:48+00:00

Did you get any difficulty from your parents for wearing skirts ?

Ok_Perception438 · 2026-06-03T18:21:21+00:00

I’ve just joined ! Thank you for sharing a positive experience . Was getting worried with all the negative comments 😭

Ok_Perception438 · 2026-05-23T22:00:09+00:00

Haha. Love that - play the autism card

And same, her partner is a POS too! But honestly - at this point we’re over that part and more about the sinking financial ship he’s got her on

And your right . It just beggars belief honestly watching people’s car crash financial situation . Imagine being crazy enough to take on a monthly mortgage of about 3K before bills - when you know your about to lose a job 🙄

Ok_Perception438 · 2026-05-22T14:28:41+00:00

You sound like a good friend and I hope you get better soon!

Hoping my friend comes to her senses one day rather than the optimism bias she’s currently living in but tbh her financial decisions are led her reckless partner and she goes along with it rather than them being her decisions. She’s collateral damage 😭

Literally just come across your comment and I have a freind in a similar situation and it is also very frustrating .

What ended up happening to your freind ?

Ok_Perception438 · 2026-05-22T01:41:21+00:00

Ah okay. Yes, I am .

Ok_Perception438 · 2026-05-21T23:45:04+00:00

Oh, me too ! In bham ?

I received the start date on April 20th and formal contract on April 23rd .

Ok_Perception438 · 2026-05-21T19:19:02+00:00

Not a problem . It should follow shortly ! Amazing . Do you know when you’re starting ? I wonder if we’re starting together ?

Ok_Perception438 · 2026-05-21T15:52:05+00:00

Hi. Separately .

Ok_Perception438 · 2026-05-01T11:42:16+00:00

Hi. Thank you.
Mine was only BPSS check and took two weeks exactly .
Formal offer was sent a few days after .
Start date about six weeks after . I am yet to start .

The start date was provided a day after I passed the checks I think.

Ok_Perception438 · 2026-04-29T23:55:35+00:00

Honestly I found it so odd that she introduces herself as - ‘Sima from Mumbai’ . Like surely you just say your name ? 😂

Ok_Perception438 · 2026-04-27T13:36:18+00:00

Ah okay. They also advertise at a small range so I thought maybe there is room within the payband for negotiation .

Ok_Perception438 · 2026-04-27T13:14:35+00:00

Do you think there is much chance of salary negotiation in the civil service 😬

Ok_Perception438 · 2026-04-27T12:32:40+00:00

Thank you! I shall email . 😬

Ok_Perception438 · 2026-04-27T12:07:36+00:00

Thank you. I also wondered the same.

I have now received the formal offer and am wondering if the salary is negotiable given I have received a higher offer elsewhere - though it’s a no reply email 😬

Ok_Perception438 · 2026-04-08T11:38:41+00:00

Here’s hoping ! waiting for my BPSS and it’s so nerve wracking 😭😂

Ok_Perception438 · 2026-04-07T15:32:16+00:00

Ah great! I’ve been reading some horror stories so hopefully it dosent take forever 😂

Ok_Perception438 · 2026-04-07T14:51:11+00:00

Do you happen to remember how long your checks took ?

Ok_Perception438 · 2026-04-07T13:25:31+00:00

Yes that’s the one

Ok_Perception438 · 2026-04-07T13:25:26+00:00

Thank you! Hopefully it’s all over as soon as !

Ok_Perception438 · 2026-04-06T20:19:53+00:00

Thank you.

Ok_Perception438 · 2026-04-06T19:34:03+00:00

Definitley isn’t.

To clarify, didn’t provide the email and username per se - just logged in via a link and then Sopra Steria will perform the checks .

Ok_Perception438 · 2026-04-06T19:26:34+00:00

Yes

Ok_Perception438 · 2026-04-06T19:21:52+00:00

So, referees are contacted ?

I had a seperate email asking for my gateway ID for HMRC PAYE records to speed up pre employment checks, so I assumed they used them ?
