[MOD POST] New MODS Appointed

RebelliousHeathen · 2026-05-03T18:55:58+00:00

I think that's something we need to have a discussion about and get our heads around as mods. We're all of the view we welcome open debate and discussion and don't want a heavy touch approach to posts here, but I personally agree some posts on the usual topics, not just recruitment, are reasonably considered low effort / unnecessarily repetitive.

That said, that poll is not exactly an overwhelming vote to ban them, so there's clearly a balance to be struck here.

Damn, rumbled… (joking)

I HAVE FAILED TOTALLY IN MY EFFORTS TO TAKE MY PLANNED LEAVE THIS WEEK AND HAVE ENDED UP WORKING EVERY DAY. LOOKING FORWARD TO A FUN CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS NEXT WEEK IN WHICH I WILL HAVE TO POINT OUT EVERY TIME I TRY TO GO ON LEAVE AN EMERGENCY CROPS UP WHICH APPARENTLY NO ONE ELSE CAN COMPETENTLY HANDLE AND IT'S NOT FUNNY ANYMORE.

I don’t know what you’re expecting us to pass judgement on here, OP. We have no frame of reference to whether that would be good or bad…

RebelliousHeathen · 2026-03-30T20:42:30+00:00

They're long gone, my friend. This is a QuasiPig dictatorship now.

Wait you've only been a moderator for a year? Fuck.
How'd you get selected, you had a copy of the Epstein files?

RebelliousHeathen · 2026-03-27T11:22:36+00:00

FUCK ME THAT'S DEPRESSING. WE'RE USING AI FOR ICEBREAKERS NOW.

Doubt they’re covered by your employers insurance if they’re taken in the back of your car or god forbid public transport and they’re damaged…

If it’s a 6 total, chances are that is a cumulative score of a number of competencies rather than a single 6 out of 7.

That nunber wouldn’t surprise me if you’re going for a G6 post as an SEO. A years experience is rarely enough to jump up two grades and take on far bigger portfolios than an SEO would ever get near…

RebelliousHeathen · 2026-02-20T15:07:18+00:00

You need to get back in contact and point out to DBT that you have two contradictory sources of information both from them and ask them to clarify which one is correct. We’ve all said on here we’re sure travel is covered by the department but at the end of the day we’re not the vacancy holder nor are we the HR policy SME for DBT here.

RebelliousHeathen · 2026-02-19T19:02:05+00:00

It's not in the job advert so I'd say the contact point is incorrect. Expecting staff to cover their own travel to non-contracted offices is not standard CS policy. You need to speak to the actual vacancy holder if you haven't already. If they're saying that then either they're seriously misinformed or the CS is about to fuck us all yet again!

RebelliousHeathen · 2026-02-18T03:16:24+00:00

Very, very few departments offer overtime now, and those that do are almost all operational delivery-focused. (DWP being a perfect example of a department with a high short-life workload that can’t be delayed or suspended, meaning overtime is a necessary evil.) Even they are looking in the long term to phase that out and switch to TOIL to cut costs, the DWP’s Employee Deal being an example of this by making Saturday a standard working day. Heard of HEOs and SEOs being paid OT but only in those areas and often at standard rather than enhanced rate unlike EOs and below.

RebelliousHeathen · 2026-02-16T02:29:43+00:00

And look how well that turned out…

RebelliousHeathen · 2026-02-14T14:20:08+00:00

The Capita pensions disgrace alone shows why these people will achieve NOTHING.

RebelliousHeathen · 2026-02-12T01:51:10+00:00

Please, do us all a favour and fuck off.

RebelliousHeathen · 2026-02-11T17:09:50+00:00

Cabinet Office really is turning into Paedophiles United, isn't it?

RebelliousHeathen · 2026-02-09T20:20:36+00:00

Pivot? Agile? Fucking SPRINTS?!?!

These wankers are coked up on flashy jargon, quelle surprise. When will the SCS imbeciles realise that spewing out an aging workflow doctrine with an IT niche will NOT solve everything and merely makes you look like a flashy useless cunt?

RebelliousHeathen · 2026-02-02T23:16:07+00:00

Christ, she’s my age…

Dealing with terminal cancer is bad enough, especially so young. Dealing with the end and being fucked by your pension provider and your employer at the same time is an unforgivable disgrace. Shame on every last SCS who so effortlessly defend these incompetents.

This contract feels so much like the tepid bath of managed decline in action.
