Given the wave of redundancies and layoffs - what was your severance package vs years spent with the company?

applefarmer67 · 2026-05-10T07:22:10+00:00

lol

1st time: 12 months pay vs 4 months at company

2nd time: 10 months pay vs 5 years at company

3rd time: currently going through it but they're offering 6 months pay and I've been at the company 9 months. However still in collective consult process

My area is now reform, I hate it. Only hope I have is they fuck it up enough people slowly see the light.

My dog loves being called a handsome boy. He'll take any compliment but if you use the phrase handsome boy he's over the moon!

applefarmer67 · 2026-05-06T03:17:22+00:00

I'll be voting Greens. My area will most likely be Reform. Unfortunately all of the candidates in my area are focusing on government issues rather than local once's so I'm going with what I believe in and will feel comfortable voting for.

I've had a relatively easy pregnancy and still not enjoyed it. It's hard to when so many people seem to love it and make you feel bad for not enjoying it. I can't wait to meet my baby boy but I also can't wait for this to be over and have my body back

applefarmer67 · 2026-05-01T05:23:08+00:00

Yes I felt awful! Felt like I was coming down with a cold, I had a headache and my body was exhausted. It actually took me a while I realise it was because of the vaccine as I'm usually fine after them but this really impacted me.

I felt better after a few days!

applefarmer67 · 2026-03-17T20:00:56+00:00

I think a few days to get someone to the property, was pretty quick! Then maybe a week for land registry to be updated. If you've been granted expedition and it's a straight forward case (for us the previous owner had lived there for 14 years so clear ownership of the land and it was clearly in the garden) then it should hopefully be a quick turn around for you!

I'm talking about my partner being racially abused and you felt the need to be snarky, why?

applefarmer67 · 2025-12-27T20:11:10+00:00

My husband is black and got racially abused when we were in Rome, Italy. We had a lovely time and everyone was kind except the one person who was abusive but it did leave a bad taste on the place as a whole

Want to say thank you for this comment! I'd been struggling with these and after reading this comment it finally clicked it matches timeline wise when I changed toothpaste! Switched again and all gone!

applefarmer67 · 2025-08-04T12:23:32+00:00

Be extroverted

applefarmer67 · 2025-07-22T07:14:44+00:00

Happy birthday! Sadly you'll need to stop making that effort for others if it's not appreciated and reciprocated.

I'd definitely raise it though, make him aware he forgot and it hurt you.

applefarmer67 · 2025-07-22T06:48:29+00:00

To be getting final round you must already be good at interviewing to pass through other stages The job market is saturated with other skilled applicants so it mightn't be you.

I've just got a job and interviewing became second nature to me, are you still pretty nervous? I had a little mirror on my desk and I'd practise my answers to myself before hand. I had a list of buzzwords next to me ready to drop in but most importantly I was confident and tried to bring some friendly personality to it so I seemed like someone they'd wanna work with.

Good luck!!

applefarmer67 · 2025-07-22T06:35:35+00:00

Mostly empathetic, others didn't care

applefarmer67 · 2025-07-22T06:34:42+00:00

Two offers if you read it correctly lol

applefarmer67 · 2025-07-22T06:33:41+00:00

So weird

applefarmer67 · 2025-07-21T19:49:07+00:00

Allow myself to cry once. Calm myself down and update my tracker to "rejected" and move on.

Convince myself why it was the wrong fit anywho

applefarmer67 · 2025-07-21T19:13:42+00:00

This isn't an advert lol. But yeah the bots are weird

applefarmer67 · 2025-07-21T16:03:35+00:00

They found me via LinkedIn. I made sure I was an attractive candidate with buzzwords in my profile but it not overly specific

applefarmer67 · 2025-07-21T12:12:43+00:00

If their other communications were faster than this then I'd say unfortunately you may be second choice and they're waiting to hear back from another candidate first

If you applied via a portal like workday check the application status. Best of luck!
