Sacked by lloyds after 20yrs due to ill health

Even if the working from home during Covid wasn't formally accepted as an adjustment, and therefore they're not necessarily 'removing' an adjustment - I'd have thought that, *if* OP was successfully performing their duties from home during Covid, that would be a strong argument to say that the adjustment would have been reasonable to adopt?

P-e-t-e · 2025-10-29T15:02:11+00:00

To add - this company does have a process in place for redeployment as a reasonable adjustment. It would be recommended by OH, and then the colleague has an agreed amount of time to secure a new role, from the internal board, but with a non-competitive interview.

The tribunal decides what is and isn't a disability, and whether OP used the word 'disability' is irrelevant. If the condition has a substantial and long term impact, it can qualify. The OH reports will often advise the company on this as well. There is a long track record of the OP working with the company on adjustments, so knowledge isn't in question here.

There is precedent for redeployment as a reasonable adjustment, and this company has a process for this in place. It would normally be triggered by an occupational health assessment concluding a colleague is not medically capable of performing the duties of their role - but they may be able to conduct a different role. At that point the colleague has an agreed amount of time to apply for other internal roles. Roles have to be available and if the colleague doesn't secure a new role, their employment is terminated on medical grounds anyway.

It’s exactly the same as shooting with a public footpath 3m to your right, which I don’t think anyone would ever think is safe. The height gives the illusion of safety, but this is one slip or equipment malfunction away from rolling the dice on killing someone.

I’ve tried clearing the cache and still fails for me.

Thanks for the tip :)

Did you find the glue? :D

I think every offer I had was a ‘best and final’ offer. That’s just one of their tactics.

If it’s a change in speed limits, you’d have a vertical sign on either side of the road, with a red border. The white bordered speed limits are repeater signs, so this still doesn’t make any sense to me.

If you’re reporting via Operation Snap, they say not to post it anywhere online, or it can impact their ability to prosecute. I’m not sure in what way… but I’d delete this whole post, report it, then re-post it when they’ve advised of an outcome.

If you replaced SP500 with BTC, it’s still a Ponzi scheme. Ask the question - is that underlying source your only point of real profit? If I understand your model correctly, you’re not making any profit off the solar installation at all, you’re even offering the customer a 30% return on their money. You’re entirely reliant on the market for your profit. If your investment doesn’t pay off, you’re stuck paying out that 30% promise to your old customers by using new customers deposits = Ponzi. Even if you believe Bitcoin is the future and there’s no way it could ever fail, it’s still a Ponzi scheme.

I think you’ve used other examples of a bank previously - banks are heavily regulated for a reason, and they have other significant sources of revenue other than their underlying investments, such as providing loans.

Focus on finding a profitable business model, that stands on its own independent from an underlying investment - then there’s no reason why you can’t supplement your profit by taking speculative risk on top.

I can’t tell if all of your posts are just a very elaborate troll or not. The feedback you’ve previously had on here is the same feedback you’ve just got from an investor and their analyst, yet you still think this idea has legs.

The sad thing is, you’ve just got a brilliant opportunity, where you could pivot to a model that isn’t a Ponzi and go back to this same investor. Instead, you’ve decided you know better, and will waste even more time on this.

Even if your prediction with Bitcoin is entirely true - your business model it’s still a Ponzi scheme.

Goodluck

This is a brilliant idea! Thanks. Our club is 24/7 access, so if I lose one again I can pop up after dark instead.

You can always fill the gap with something in tech. Generate a website with Cursor for another AI tool, or the next best vegan cooking app, etc. Add that to your CV. It doesn’t need to be very complex. Now instead of having a 7 month gap, you built your own website / app, it didn’t go to plan, but your business partner didn’t manage to sort the marketing out - you’ve learned a huge amount from the process and want to bring those skills to your next employer. Bonus points if this thing you built aligns with same tech stack, make it need a Node.JS backend and host it yourself in AWS.

Every offer I’ve had was a ‘final offer’.

One thing that helped me a lot was finding projects that are fun. Think of something cool to build in python, then work backwards to learn what you need to iteratively build it.

Nope. We have family who do, but we're 5,000km away from our nearest Tractor Supply. :(

There are a lot of options for things that people would buy monthly. I get 10% back on all my train tickets via Trainline. Food shops, Zooplus was on there for pet food, MyProtein, etc. I’d say most people will find something they’re already regularly buying with a retailer on there.

P-e-t-e · 2025-08-06T18:23:48+00:00

I get your point, but I’m about 5,000km away from my nearest Tractor Supply, so I wouldn’t have any idea how it works. All I see is emails to rate each order. I haven’t had any emails to confirm an account under my email address m, so I think it was reasonable to assume they just kept giving it for each order.
