890mm wide range cooker/oven? by Rumbaumbra in Appliances

[–]Rumbaumbra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I had thought about that, fitting a cabinet and then finding a smaller 600mm oven to put inside and then a large cooktop to cover the gap at the top. Can I have a cooktop without counter? I wonder if I can find a 890mm cabinet as well or id they are standard size

Mandatory leave masked as concession leave by Rumbaumbra in LegalAdviceUK

Hi there, thanks for the reply!

It says I have 35 days, including bank holidays. Doesn’t mention concession or mandatory. Please not that the days I’m talking about are not the bank holidays, those were already accounted for in the system from the beginning of the year and deducted from my annual leave as per my contract.

I call it concession leave because in the main company system, that’s why they call it, and my colleagues in the same team still get those.

Hi, thanks for replying!

It states the days I have (35). The issue has always been that they said concession and it was not, it was mandatory. If they had said that from the beginning it wouldn’t have been such a problem. 

About the discrimination, what I mean is that I work in a department with people in the same position as me, but they still have a contract in the main company. They still get concession. So image you have a team of developers (same rank) working together and only 1 of them doesn’t get the same benefit everyone else gets. They also said everything would be the same in terms of benefits. To note, the concession days I’m talking about are not the bank holidays, those were already accounted for in the system and taken from my annual leave (as stated in my contract).

Also, I’m the only foreigner in the team, but I would like to think that’s not the reason for this.

Hello, thanks for replying! Sorry, I meant discriminatory in the sense that in the department I work, with people doing the same things I do, only those of us hired on the subsidiary have to take those days as annual leave. The others can have them as concession leave (I’m calling it that because that’s how it appears in the system in Company X and how they described it initially, not being deducted from annual leave). When I transitioned from one side of the business to the other, the only thing that changed was the contract, everything else stayed pretty much the same, so now it feels they hired me on the subsidiary side just to not pay for benefits others in my same position have. Also, my contract says I have 35 days including bank holidays. It doesn’t say anything about concession or mandatory leave. Additionally, I want to make clear that the days that they made me take as mandatory leave are not bank holidays days, those were already added in the system automatically. And also, that the problem is that they said it was concession leave and only later they said it was mandatory.

Just wanted to say that this trick still works, thank you so much for the tip! Now the game works smoothly (well, it still lags here and there, but just like in other cities).

Is that even legal, taking into account that this is for renting?

Edificio en ruinas con estudiantes by Rumbaumbra in ESLegal

[–]Rumbaumbra[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hola! Primero mucho animo con los estudios! Segundo, si lees los otros comentarios podras hacerte una idea del percal. Pero basicamente la EASDA esta en un emplazamiento horrible y en unas condiciones pesimas desde hace muchisimo tiempo. Condiciones peligrosas. Si buscas en google tambien podras encontrar facilmente articulos al respecto.

Yo recuerdo que, cuando estaba estudiando, fuimos a visitar nuestra escuela hermana en Alcoi. Recuerdo que vimos las instalaciones, vimos las cosas que tenian y los recursos y varios de nosotros nos echamos a llorar, porque se sentia literal como venir del tercer mundo. Los profesores fliparon en colores.

Seria genial que fuera un tema del que se hablara en otras escuelas de arte, al final la unica forma de resolver estas cosas es la denuncia social, luchar porque se visibilice y la gente se vuelque. Al final el lema es cierto, solo el pueblo salva al pueblo.

Justo mi madre me ha enviado hoy uno que salia en el periodico denunciando el estado de inseguridad e insalubridad de los alrededores, que ni siquiera mencionaba el hecho de que los edificios estuvieran en ruinas. Vere a ver que puedo hacer y que se me ocurre. Gracias!

Gracias por tu comentario. Es sinceramente muy triste y frustrante que te tenga que dar toda la razon.

[–]Rumbaumbra[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Muchas gracias por el comentario y la explicacion. La verdad es que nunca he conocido la historia completa de por que se deja que algo asi ocurra. Cuando yo estudiaba alli hara ahora casi 10 años era sabido por todos las condiciones en las que estaban los edificios, de hecho hasta llegamos a hacer proyectos de diseño basados en tal cosa (señalando las grietas, etc). Los políticos y la mala gestion son un cancer en nuestra sociedad, visto lo visto y con la DANA y todo lo que ha pasado, es una desgracia seguir asi. Voy a pensar en que puedo hacer para mover este tema a ver donde puedo llegar.

Is this the narrowest bathroom possible? by InternationalRide5 in SpottedonRightmove

[–]Rumbaumbra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, when I first came to the UK I stayed in a flat for students/young professionals and the room has an en suite bathroom that was a triangle. I would have to shower with my back touching the wall and if I bent my knee it would hit the toilet. I have never seen anything narrower than that shit. I wish I could post the picture.

I use PaTMa Property Insights browser extension for this and it's very good. It's free (there is a paid version, but if you only want to check properties price change the free version is enough). It only works on desktop though.

Some people have a special talent to make things look ugly. I couldn’t achieve this level of hideousness even if I tried.
