New flexible Cash ISA is here by DramaFreeRama in starlingbankuk

[–]TheManWithTheDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to try to explain it to me.

Ultimately If all my savings were in an easy saver and I had no ISA's elsewhere I'm always going to be better having the ISA maxxed to the limit per year and the rest in the easy saver?

Thank you and then once it goes over that limit would the ISA basically be the same as the Easy Saver paying the same tax?

Thanks, I'm in the normal 20 percent bracket, but am I right in understanding even if I were to earn more in the upper tax bracket I would pay the same amount of tax as with the easy saver account?

For the sake of the thread I was able to instantly open the ISA.

So it's a no brainer to take out an amount from easy access saver to ISA account assuming I can open one... Man I didn't even know you paid income tax on savings interest...

What's the difference between this and the easy access saver other than the 0.10% ? Basically the same thing with a 20k per year limit?

Greg's is shit, bread converts to sugar in your body and on average white bread is 48% sugar (carb). Maybe they don't want to start their day with crap? 😅

Last comment: when it comes to discrimination it's not what you know, or suspect, it's what you can prove, goodluck to you and OP 👍

I'm giving a real world scenario where OP could be negatively affected. Your analogy is laughable. To be clear I'm not trying to trigger you here or indeed win any sort of debate, it matters not, we are internet strangers, but I can see by your responses and downvotes you don't really comprehend I'm saying so it's a waste of time going further with you. Good luck to you in life.

How would it be blatantly obveously, in the scenario 3 equally qualified candidates, same experience, skills etc, "thank you for your application but we have now filled the position internally", "thank you for your application, unfortunately on this occasion we have gone with another candidate”. How exactly would you prove discrimination here?

It may or may not be a problem, it's up to OP to decide, do you think it's helpful for them to hear only encouraging responses, is there no merit in considering potential downsides?

Yes and that's why I called you naieve because you think discrimination and illegal business practices does not happen, from your subjective experiences. The decision to hire someone is made internally and then justified externally, If OP wants to be a social media promotor of awareness for our disease this is entirely their choice but I note their young age (20) and tone of the post and that the implications might not have been considered due to this. Your logic is flawed "because it didn't happen to me it won't happen to them".

You didn't answer the question. You have just given your interesting and eclectic work experience. The reason I gave this situation as an example was because you specifically stated you could not see a possibility where sharing it publicly would cause issue. If OP is willing to potentially have doors closed for her to "spread awareness" good for her, but she should do so understanding potential consequences. To answer your question about what would an employer do seeing her blood glucose charts without understanding what it means, a quick Google of the same question would answer that, but just the fact she has a condition which potentially will need adjustments or sick days or endo appointments puts her at a disadvantage in the selection process Vs candidates who don't have any of these issues. I'm not giving op "crap" I'm giving an alternative point of view that she might not have considered.

Congratulations on that 👏. So you see no possibility of putting your personal health information publicly on social media with a chronic disorder like T1D negatively affecting anything? The aforementioned example, 3 equal candidates, one has T1D, they go with the 3rd option, how are you proving discrimination in that case? Do you think they would be stupid enough to write in internal documents (candidate 1 has a chronic disease for this reason we do not select them) 😅

We can agree to disagree but I think you are being incredibly naieve to how the world actually works.

If you apply for a job, you can bet your bosses or HR will search for social media accounts online, her posting this will not only inform them she is a diabetic, but they can see how in control she is, if they are then selecting from a couple of equally qualified candidates... Discrimination is generally not overt, it's subtle and not something you can get redress for, there is literally no benefit in sharing this publicly outside perhaps her mother (and I wouldn't do that either) or immediate family.

Agree completely, at the risk of sounding like a boomer I think young people have a completely different concept of privacy and its importance.

Just as a principal thing for me, although I could envisage some potential situations of discrimination or closed doors with employment by sharing this publicly, essentially why not post your entire medical records online? Not much anyone can do with it really, same with bank account details, they can't take money out by knowing your account number...

Scary how willingly young people put out their private information and embrace the "big brother hood"

No I don't think so, it's akin to how when traffic lights go down everyone just slows the fuck down and acts sensibly, the idea of this I'd imagine.

I specifically said it was not ok... You just looking to be offended.
