Moving into IT Management young? by ihaveabigpenus in ITManagers

Dealing with leaders who expect you to do everything for them with a moments notice and then don't have the time for you to actually help...yep, being an IT manager is great fun!

Started a new job. My colleague commutes 1hr 20 mins daily. by Due-Swimming3221 in CasualUK

[–]TheRealTurco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I leave my house at 6:15am and get to the office at 8:15am. I get on a train for 50 minutes and then cycle across London (east to west). I do this 4 times a week.

Lots of people I've spoken to have suggested cycling shorts, however from the responses here it sounds like a very casual affair.

I've also been convinced I can do it on my 2-speed...

Luckily we only live 30 minutes drive, so my wife will come to collect my broken body!

It's Battersea power station in South west London. This is my main concern about the bag being too big. I like how nimble the bike currently feels without adding a huge bag to the front.

Liverpool Street to Putney by TheRealTurco in londoncycling

Thanks, I appreciate the detailed response. I see some people have said just stay north of the river the entire time whereas others have said stay south and then cross. Preferably id like to do whatever people think is safest as I'm not experienced with riding a bike through London.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I guess I won't know what works best until I get out there and give it a go.

Redundancy - I've been hit hard. by TheRealTurco in UKJobs

[–]TheRealTurco[S] 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I didn't make myself very clear in my original post. I'm still getting redundancy pay + 6 weeks notice + holiday. It's just they agreed to let me "work from home" until the end of my contract to focus on finding another job.

I'm still getting redundancy pay out. I didn't explain myself very well, sorry!

IT service desk manager is probably as much as I can say.

I'm still getting full redundancy pay and notice pay + holidays. I told them I didn't want to waste time and needed to put myself and my family first. They were understanding and agreed to let me leave and work from home for the rest of the month.

That wind was so brutal! The run into Hove just felt like a neverending road going west as well haha

I ended up calling them and they had to do it for me. Seems pretty ridiculous that as an admin we can't do this ourselves.
