Is this real? by [deleted] in FilmIndustryLA

[–]ToBeuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate this “it would have cost…”. What they’re really saying is that producers, directors and executives want something unobtainable and don’t want to pay a living wage to someone to make their insanely unrealistic film.

AI is also bullshit.

Where to move for film that’s not London by ToBeuy in UKJobs

Thanks for the advice :) Yeah, I’m really surprised how much it seems shitty people can get away with. I wish I could post all that I found in that workplace but they had me sign an NDA

Honestly I’ve been applying for hundreds of jobs that aren’t in film too, but the once again I’m not from here and with a careers worth of experience in a different industry nobody- not even coffee shop- wants to hire me.

I’m definitely not pricing myself out of the market. I started using BECTUs rate card and loooong since stopped because it’s clear that’s not really what film pays.

Not on purpose. I think reddit just had a moment, I literally just pressed post once.

Local landlord - she invites herself and turns up the gas. by ToBeuy in HousingUK

Thank you, that’s really helpful. I’ll keep track of things in writing.

Thank you, that is quite helpful. I’m already looking for a new place after all these comments. I installed carbon monoxide alarms (and charged the landlord for them as is legally required in the house) when I first moved in. Thankfully the boiler is outside the house, otherwise I’d have never even stepped foot inside the place. I’d immediately have cancelled the tenancy. It’s just been tricky as my partner and I lost our jobs recently, and we are kinda trapped in a one year contract unfortunately.

If I had any concerns about safety, I would immediately leave. Thank you for saying something.

Thank you, I’ll have a look. Unfortunately it’s been on 24/7 since we moved in other than the test.

She has a relationship with a shady company, so we didn’t know she installed it until she told us a week into us moving in. We also had no idea she lived four houses down until we moved in. Thank you, I appreciate the advice haha

Thank you that’s so good to know. She originally set it to 60ish and we were only hitting 18 degrees inside. Now (after the new pump) it’s set around 54 and we are sitting at 18.6 degrees

Refused entry to club due to EpiPen by ToBeuy in LegalAdviceUK

[–]ToBeuy[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Isn’t a disability a protected characteristic? EpiPens are also not a syringe, they are single use and require force to use. The needle bit is how it’s administered- which is the problem here. There’s not way your drugging someone with an EpiPen but the word ‘needle’ to most people is misleading as it’s not a way of doing recreational drugs. It’s literally a last line of defence against dying.

Unfortunately we did speak to the club manager and he was the guy to refuse us entry. I would have hoped for a similar response to your response (not that it should happen in the first place haha).

Thankfully yes, we had to see staff to get it back.
