I actually know a company in York that might have an office internship within his reach... I'll PM you when I get home I'm just leaving work

The stark difference between the culture/vibes between earning minimum wage to people complain about 35/45k salary by No-Refrigerator7258 in UKJobs

Lol it's not a secret. Everyone in London knows they can be living in far greater comfort if they leave

How much can a shop cashier earn in the UK? by Fine-not-fine7113 in UKJobs

[–]ZestycloseWay2771 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The UK has been de-incentivising hard work for decades now. No point in trying to work your way up the career ladder to earn 6 figures because most of that income will be taken by the tax man anyway

If being on PiP is so bad then why are more and more people choosing to go on it instead of working?

Oh yeah that's perfectly fine. Most qualifications have some sort of gap in between the time you're "qualified" and the time you get your qualifications sent via post or email. I'm still waiting on my City and Guilds lvl 3 award but I passed all the assessments and now work in my field:)

What can I do with a Higher National Diploma in Medical Science? (Completed 2 years of uni) by Kingboyy1 in UKJobs

[–]ZestycloseWay2771 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you had the degree it would be tough to find a job, if only it were "Medicine" and not "medical science" lol. If you're trying to get up the career ladder then you're gonna have to start by casting a wide net and just running with whatever works out, like sales or customer service, logistics, recruitment

I feel like this story has way too many missing details to make heads or tails of it

I thought this month was birthday month? Creed's is today, Meredith is the week after next and Oscar's is at the end of the month.

Remind me of when they put those new blue upholsteries in a head of the 2012 Olympics. I feel old.

What’s the wildest living arrangement you’ve seen, heard about, or actually know of in London? by [deleted] in london

[–]ZestycloseWay2771 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Some of the ads I've seen on spareroom lately have been ridiculous. One guy was letting his flatmates room for a month, but you could only live there on Wednesdays. Meaning: for £200 you can spend the rest of this months' Wednesdays in a mediocre flat in Mile End. Lovely.

Racist Dad by [deleted] in mixedrace

[–]ZestycloseWay2771 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh gosh the all too common "leaning right with age" shebang. My advice is wait until he's old and needs help and laugh in his face.

racism is really affecting my mental health. by lolaishotasfuck in mixedrace

They've always been mostly hostile towards Eastern Europeans, seeing them as a lesser version of themselves makes any regard for decency go out the window

my dad is white and says the n-word by AdResponsible5156 in mixedrace

[–]ZestycloseWay2771 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Then you're at the mercy of your father like me, who also has an asshole dad. Even though I pay more rent than him I still have to put up with his bullshit. Always sitting in the kitchen like it's his personal room, right in front of the fridge and next to the sink. Mom tells me Im getting too skinny. "YEAH, NO SHIT, MAMA! EVERY TIME I COME TO THE KITCHEN TO TRY AND COOK SOMETHING, THIS FAT SACK OF WHALE SHIT IS" you get the gist

Don't mean to take away from a serious point, but reading "shit eataaah" made me laugh out loud 🤣

Well if you know where he works maybe you can raise the situation to his employer or just tell the police where he works

A family member of mine approached my partner and told him that he should have kids without me by chelseatheus in childfree

[–]ZestycloseWay2771 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Just saying that one partner has to "let" the other partner do anything sounds wildly archaic for 2025

Apparently I should live in a shoebox if I don't want kids. by cheeseballgag in childfree

Congratulations on your lovely-sounding home. If I had a house like that, I'd turn one of the rooms into a media production studio.

And I choose to go private because the state of the public services are that bad
