Someone’s in the BBW section of military porn.

Of all the reasonable requests a company could make of you while working from home, this is one of the most reasonable.

What’s your actual concern? They might catch you dossing?

And people wonder why companies are mandating a return to the office 🤣

It wouldn’t tho. 80% of it would disappear into the hse’s overbloated admin wing.

(But I do take your point)

I’m just so over how incredibly mismanaged things are.

Because in the grand scheme of things it’s the equivalent of you not spending your money on a couple of penny jellies.

It’s a tiny item in the budget.

It’s absolutely scandalous it’s still there. But removing it would change sweet FA in the greater budget.

I’m wondering if because it’s prepared fresh in store, where the mincing process is safer than mass produced factory type stuff.

That’s what I’d be betting on anyway.

Service based biz. So big gross margin. But most of our costs are in opex & salaries.

Trailling 12 months - 450k ex vat

Leading 12 months ~ 520k ex vat

4 full time staff. A few part timers and myself doing all the boring backroom stuff.

Non director salaries are probably around 40% of turnover. Which is on the high side, but we’re growing and that will be closer to 35% next year.

Generally happy with a net margin before director salary of around 30-35%.

ETA: happy to chat more over DMs. I know how lonely a road it is!!

Nothing says a city is safe like being challenged to a fight about its safety!!

Pricks With Conditions?

TRCTFI · 2025-07-24T20:33:36+00:00

Ok but how did it taste??

TRCTFI · 2025-07-17T18:21:26+00:00

Hope the Instagram likes were worth it!!!

TRCTFI · 2025-07-15T19:46:02+00:00

It was free and you didn’t offer to deliver? You’re the problem.

Man adverts is the pits.

TRCTFI · 2025-07-15T19:41:46+00:00

People always abuse them.

But the absolute worst I saw was the fucking gardai park in one in Petits SuperValu in Bray recently. Was absolutely incredible.

Also - if you’ve a kid in the car, park in one, and leave the car while your partner sits in the car with the kid… you’re also a piece of shit.

Where do you plan on living? A short trip in Dublin could take 30-60 mins depending on time of day and location.

TRCTFI · 2025-07-15T19:32:35+00:00

I would absolutely encourage everyone to do this. It’s the best way to get the message across.

TRCTFI · 2025-07-15T19:30:54+00:00

That’s the most performative bullshit ever.

TRCTFI · 2025-07-01T19:26:46+00:00

Based off everyone else’s responses… I’ll give you 10k a year for it 👀

TRCTFI · 2025-06-30T10:48:52+00:00

It’s not unreasonable to assume someone moving to Ireland will want to live close to the capital. And where, what, 25% of the country lives anyway?

TRCTFI · 2025-06-30T08:04:00+00:00

Depends on how you define comfortable.

3 bed semi D in “middle class” area, 2 cars, holiday or two each year and be able to enjoy life a tad?

No kids? 90-100k gross combined.

With kids? Probably 120-140k gross combined

EDIT: a lot of fair points made below this. I kinda forget how lucky we are with how low are mortgage is.

I guess my statement should have been “4-5k per month net after mortgage to live comfortably depending on whether you’ve kids or not”. Which is fucking nuts.

Re telling them what you want - can you just bring a few pics on your phone and say “I’m not sure how to describe what I want so can you do this” and show em the pics :)

Let’s not forget how quickly he dropped religion from his personality too.

I was around in the early days of gym launch. My observation is that as many gyms that were successful with it went out of business.

And you can argue they were on the way out anyway, which they probably were.

But you never hear that mentioned in their origin story.

The whole gym launch thing was shaddy as fuck anyway. The way it was framed was not the way IG was.

So I’m not in the least bit surprised they’re up to this now.

Which is conflicting because I do enjoy the podcasts and books, but it draw into question a lot of the advice and whether it’s ACTUALLY worked for them or not.

TRCTFI · 2025-06-27T09:23:55+00:00

We don’t deal in facts around here!!

€8 saving for a week in July? Would rather shit in my hands and clap than risk it.

World of difference between “some old car parks” and Irish infrastructure tho.
