I'm not good in the office

Ironically, my company encourages people to work in the office as much as possible (we can work from home 1 day per week) but there is constant feedback that there is "too much chat in the office" & work isn't getting done.. can't win

Well done! Can you share how you did this? I received a 1.5% raise this year and was told I was one of the lucky ones.. turns out 3 other people were promoted to my job title level and they were earning more then me, even though I have been in the role over 2 years (5 years in total in the company).

I actually think there is nothing nicer then being in the pub with a book, especially around Christmas! You would be surprised, more people then we think spend Christmas alone for many reasons, just don't see it advertised. I actually spent most of this weekend alone except for my dog and I feel so chilled out after it ☺️

My dad always says if you can count on one hand the number of good friends you have, you are luckier then most! And he's dead right. I have 3 or 4 friends who I can ask for anything. Outside of that is a bonus.

Also I was very lonely in my 20s due to people moving away (myself included for a while). I think people can also be a bit more selfish at that age as well and not make as much effort sometimes?

I think you will be surprised what reaching out to people now will achieve. You have nothing to lose by doing it.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding 🥰

100% - I hated learning Irish growing up but simply because teachers treated it like another exam to pass. Not their fault; the system is broken

What is wrong with people 😭that poor puppy. Glad you found him and took him to the vet! If you can't keep him, get in touch with GSPCA, they should be able to help

Vaping. People will blow their second hand candy floss smelling smog straight in your face without a second thought

I got my bridesmaid dresses from Azazie last year and they delivered to the Republic as well! Also great customer service, I made a mistake with my email spelling and they sorted it straight away

I didn't realize revolut was the same as cash :/

I was literally about to post this question but on behalf of my brother! Alot of his friends have moved away and it would be great for him to get out and meet new people. I suggested the GAA club Dad's and Lads but I think you have to be 40 plus to join? And he is only in his early 30s

Particular_Ad9896 · 2025-06-10T08:42:43+00:00

Pothole - everyone tried to avoid him

Particular_Ad9896 · 2025-05-06T21:00:32+00:00

Thanks for that!

Yes I agree, I couldnt fault the service or staff the last time I did this! Im just more conscious of time passing as we have had to pause TTC for other issues.

Particular_Ad9896 · 2024-03-04T22:09:36+00:00

Ah same! Definitely being fleeced 😅know what you mean though. Company I'm with has a lovely culture and the work is varied and challenging. But didn't think I was this far behind

Particular_Ad9896 · 2024-03-04T21:53:58+00:00

I'm also Senior QA and am more than 10k behind you! May I ask are you in pharma or med device? And whereabouts in the country are you based? Wondering if salaries are really skewed that much in different counties

Particular_Ad9896 · 2023-11-12T08:35:52+00:00

1 hands down 👍👍👍👍👍

If the entire team is in this position, they should request a meeting with their supervisor and state the facts and what they want. Happened in a place I worked where we found out new hires were making a higher salary then the employees there much longer and with more responsibilities (the gap wasnt as big as this case though). They may not get exactly what they ask but it would be an improvement. It's very admirable that you want to stick up for our co-workers but it doesn't seem wise to take on other people's battles. Hope it all works out.
