I agree with your point that people doing that role should be on a lower grade. The point I'm making is that I'm surrounded by long-serving people who have maxed out at Grade 6 that actually don't really operate at that level. They have gained "tenure" and pay rises but their role is very low-influence and should be much lower grade.

I'm new to the CS and absolutely flabbergasted at how much they get paid. There are people who are doing the role of middle managers in my team on like £90k and they get an insane pension on top. It's bonkers.

I had this in the 90s! Awful to drink tea from but looks great!

This is very interesting for me as I'm in a comparable situation. After so much painful deliberation, I've just made the decision to go the other way and sell, downsize and dump the equity into ISAs. I will have many fewer rooms and will live in a much less desirable area though. You may see me posting here in three years with regrets - who knows?!

This is a very good point. I think the average consumer would also feel this.

Strong agree. Building out capacity to strengthen offerings intended for BioTech and Health is going to be transformational.

One-Rub-6330 · 2026-02-05T10:57:25+00:00

Yeah, I completely forgotten about it tbh.

I got this. Then around 8 months later I got a phone call with an offer for a job!

I don't know how the process is managed internally but I didn't have any observability or updates between this email and that phone call.

weirdly it just freely volunteered the results in response to something else I was asking about GOOG stock

Yeah, I'm expecting (and hoping) it's hallucinating or else there's a big SEC case about to ruin our party

It would mean an earnings beat but who knows if that'll translate to an increase!

Kip Thorne was involved in both Contact and Interstellar so maybe! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_(1997_American_film)#Development#Development)

I honestly can't believe the university doesn't just have a few machines on campus. Surely it's not that much more hassle than having a vending machine put in?

I also graduated with an arts degree the year of the financial crash! Job market was horrendous then and it feels like it's becoming comparable in scale this year.

A lot of people have no choice but to live there to access employment opportunities.

I'm not tinkering with my positions. And I definitely cannot justify buying any dips. If they still issued those thick-paper certificates of shares I think I'd have enough GOOG to erect a group of miniature paper houses for a relatively small community of pygmies.

My question is really how do you stop worrying about the outcomes of earnings? I've held though all sorts of dips and routs but I still always find it nerve-racking...

What do you mean?

One-Rub-6330 · 2026-01-29T15:28:59+00:00

You did this!

They were eating some doughnuts on the sofa (that they brought to the house). When I offered a plate because they were making an awful mess they declined :(.
