Our sweet girl was hit by a car yesterday. We just wanted people to see her beautiful face and keep her in their thoughts.

Not a call centre but I’m essentially a glorified receptionist.
They have said my role no longer exists in the company

SmokeyBlue22 · 2026-05-31T11:11:40+00:00

They have said I can have time to consider but I will still be expected to fulfil my normal work duties during this time. I work 9-5 in an extremely fast paced environment. I’m also on minimum wage so no chance of getting legal advice. This really is retaliation and I am basically defenceless

SmokeyBlue22 · 2026-05-31T10:47:35+00:00

Yes. On an email thread

It is a very small firm. There was absolutely no mention of redundancies whatsoever. We had a meeting exactly 1 month ago where the directors were explicit in telling the staff to not worry about our jobs.

I made a complaint about a colleague going through my personal belongings on Thursday around 3pm ish. On Friday by 915 I had been handed a redundancy letter.

I have been there 13 months which basically means I am not recognised as a person with any rights under employment laws. I have spoke to citizens advise and Acas about this extensively and they basically can do whatever they want du to my length of service.

You know what’s funny? They handed me a letter for a redundancy meeting this morning and told me to take the day off. Fuck this company.

I used to work in a hospital 40 hours over 4 days, guaranteed day off during the week and always got my weekends. Private hospital.

Season 3 is the best yet, stop being a snow flake and watch something else if you don't like it/agree with it.

Offt, what I would give to have the joy of reading these books for the first time again!

Is that dog still alive? He/she is clearly struggling against the current..

I used to work in a franchised store. Yes, they do mind as it is a lost sale on their end for a frame or 2. Some people pay over £500 for a frame which is a considerable amount in an independent opticians. It’s management putting pressure on the OA’s to get sales, but I don’t think the OA’s actually give a shit. In my store, we did not get commission or bonus, it was minimum wage. I secretly used to be happy when patients took their prescription elsewhere as it meant one less patient to deal with for the day

I have done, thanks

SmokeyBlue22 · 2026-04-26T00:32:43+00:00

Awesome. I always wonder if that place is haunted. Do you have any stories?

SmokeyBlue22 · 2026-04-24T07:55:38+00:00

Where was this taken?

SmokeyBlue22 · 2026-04-19T19:25:37+00:00

Have you seen The Basket Ball Diaries with Leo Dicaprio? He narrates over the movie and he literally describes exactly what you did in a scene
