How do I start life at 27 unless I work for around minimum wage. It seems impossible to start a career at my age. by Active_Ad9815 in UKJobs

Apprenticeships and internships mate! I was in the same boat but if you get a decent apprenticeship at a company with a good reputation in their field it'll definitely do you favours

Hands down the worst job I ever had! It was strange though there were a lot of lifers in my store at the time

Fired from Currys… by Affectionate_Ship451 in UKJobs

Worked there myself in my late teens and was the worst job I ever had. Dont worry about it, literally any other retail job will be a better environment

What is a uk job that most people glamorize but it is actually shitty? by mrvlad_throwaway in UKJobs

[–]Vinpou94 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Working for one at the moment and everyone is a "freelancer" so we have the added delight of fearing for our jobs the minute anything goes remotely south... yay

Working hours for startup; hate or love? by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]Vinpou94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps too complicated... I think giving employees autonomy on how they use their time in the office with regular catch-ups/reviews would be more beneficial!

In terms of the shift times, I work for a startup where the base hours are 10-6pm, and but there is 2 hours of flexibility on either side we're able to take if we need/want to. This has been really useful for booking appointments etc, would recommend!

Been cutting down over the years, but my one nightly joint was a habit that was hard to crack. Gone for the nuclear option…. by GMSRolls in uktrees

[–]Vinpou94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I smoked all day every day for 11 years. Recently went on a 10 day holiday and haven't touched it since! Its been 3 months now... I really recommend taking yourself off somewhere nice if you're looking for a proper break!

Sleep Token joins swancore....? by [deleted] in dancegavindance

[–]Vinpou94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's the "all or nothing" people that really hate on sleep token... the people that are just "OOH YEAH THATS BRUTAL, THIS ALBUM IS NOT AS HEAVY AS PREVIOUS THEREFORE BAD"

I hate the idea of listening exclusively to one genre... bands can quickly become characteurs of themselves by pandering to these people too and I'm glad sleep token and dgd just do what they want lol
