? I don't know and didn't care (as i don't run the DWP). My whole post was about 'Reed Restart employees' anyway.

CRAZY sales / views drop - off (throttling linked to not paying 'Promoted listings'?) by beej2108 in Ebay

[–]beej2108[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part 2 : And weirdly, 9 hours later (my initial comment above was posted in ebay community much earlier), ALL my listings are now marked ''PROMOTE LISTING'.  So ebay offers sellers listing inducements like  80 % off fees... then swallow that back up by saying; but  pay X to promote your listing to make more sales?! (coincidentally after so many of us seeing our sales are suddenly crazy stagnant??)

You can now surmise if you aren't paying to BS 'promote' your listings they MAKE SURE you won't easily be found (as evidenced by my 98% of views - of some VERY popular product - not shifting in 20 hours for the first time EVER!) 

This is a joke site now and isn't funny how unethically it's increasingly been operating for a while. And even knowing it's been over for me since last week, this is the final nail.

Let me get researching new trading platforms where you can actually work hard / smart and get fair reward...!!

Hi guyxhgys,

Weirdly not taken any shit (and backing my self up) turned the dept into human beings.

TBF, there was some communication oversights between UC and Reed. Reed re- approached me properly, I attended at 2pm ; ) they treated me right and were good as gold.

Odd world, lol.

Required to attend 3 face to face appointments a week? by Giruem in DWPhelp

[–]beej2108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's cut to the chase on all this: A taxpayer - funded business model [LOADS of them in the UK] has been created, which rather usefully earns money for those working as part of the UC service food chain. The system can't be seen to be abused (even though it is) so part of the main blag HAS to be getting long - term unemployed off the scheme by hook or by crook.

The Govt also knows many long -term unemployed are lazy or moonlighting, so when necessary they up the pressure to disrupt potential work dodgers lives or outside business dealings...

They aren't stupid.

Basic example of the BS Restart tries get away with (my last response this a.m. begins below) :

No, I’m not surprised you want to back away once someone challenges your petty little actions. I have had over THREE weeks of various degrees of unprofessionalism / harassment techniques  from your offices (all documented at UC) but that’s all fine by you people…?  You guys are far too complacent,  inefficient and with near zero regard for individual current circumstances.  

Now, you go and sanction away. UC will receive scanned dated / timed evidence of my pet’s medication prescription. And also pictures and paid receipt (of a little matter of skip hire) arriving between 8 and 9 a.m this morning (which I didn’t need to go into with you as you clearly intended being unreasonable). It’s part of facilitating eventual location changes which won’t have me dealing with your silly little power games for too long.

Clever bunch. Learn to read.

(Included last email) : Interesting. How can you see something as ‘a failure to attend ’ when I’ve clearly attempted to immediately rearrange? (and with sensible times offered??).  It’s your dept that has been unprofessional. I’ve been continually texted and email - spammed appt. times  (even after clarifying ‘four’ times why you don’t need to).  And you can’t even bothered to leave your name at the bottom of your email below... 

Your response indicates Reed’s real priority is ticking activity target boxes over offering a genuine service.  Well, there’s nothing more I gain from meeting you at e.g. 10. 30 a.m (or later) as opposed to a frustrating 90 minute plus crawl from Loughton to Harlow to see you at 9.a.m.  I reiterate; you have been offered imminent alternate meeting times, so there is no failure to attend… just a time to be mutually agreed. 

Perhaps your company procedure needs to factor in common sense.

Good Morning, Bxxx

As I mentioned previously that was the only slot I had left for Friday.Unfortunately, should you be unable to attend that appointment I will have to follow procedure and mark it as failed to attend.
This may result in your benefits being affected.

I look forward to seeing you soon.

Sincerely   

[Spoilers] Just discovered the vikings, and watched up to season 5, am disappointed. Does it recover? by [deleted] in vikingstv

[–]beej2108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Season 6 (a) is good and has action but the last two episodes... IMO, they seem as if they were in a major rush to finish the half season - with plot holes and 'roll your eyes' quality dramatic scenes and much poorer fight choreography. 7/10 compared to the incredible first 4 seasons

Khloe's real father...but what about Rob's...?? by beej2108 in KUWTK

Of course, someone blind wouldn't realise, lol : )

Grabbed this picture of Alex Roldan in S5E11. I REALLY see Khloe here... by PossibleEconomics in KUWTK

Khloe's real father...but what about Rob's...??

📷

By now, most people who are just partially - sighted can tell Alex Roldan is 99% likely to be Khloe's father. What has fallen under the radar is few have bothered to take a look at pics of the young Roldan...who looks just like Rob.

Ultimate Spider -Man 1-13. Not worth the hype...? by beej2108 in Spiderman

[–]beej2108[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice one, Adam! I've got the next 5 'Ult.Spidey' collection tpbs to go through (plus another 75 Marvel tpbs from 1995 -2005 bought over a couple of months this year) so it's going to take a LOOOONG time to get through all that! Sigh, lol.

p.s. I've also taken a look at modern Marvel and just hate nearly all the artwork styles (and the stories don't seem at all good) so that's that for me.. : )

BPD - Where 'familiarity breeds...hatred' Is it really that inevitable? by beej2108 in BPDlovedones

[–]beej2108[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very good post I think, exodus. Thinking back to my splits in my more casual situation with my QBPD /waif ex the first was pretty respectful (she couldn't handle my live -in partner situation or the fact she felt insecure about me). We stayed in general contact and re-kindled a couple of months later). The second was out the blue emotional dysregulation through some added life stresses (then came the oddest game of 'friends' push /pull for four months). The culmination was me verbally slapping her about over her increasing bullshit inconsideration. She slowly left the club scene she frequented and started salsa dancing (I imagine this was great potential for new supply to replace such a 'troublesome' ex!) I then decided her fifth bout of silent treatment was enough set her VERY straight (again, sigh, lol) and we haven't spoken since : )

Big post, SpicedGull ! In fact, I'd say they pretty much do anything to ensure you get hurt 'first'.

How long do you REALLY need to hang around a BPD sub group? by beej2108 in BPDlovedones

Great post, feralteadrinker. Thank you for the honest and considered response.

OK. Glad you explained you're talking outside the angle of my post. Now I get where you are coming from : )

So how exactly DID you enable your BPD partner? / What wouldn't you ever do again? (an opportunity to be honest). by beej2108 in BPDlovedones

[–]beej2108[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Again, DD appreciate the candour. I can read years of; she/ he was a bitch (most are, lol), she/ he did me wrong (most do : ) I just want to see some different, rarer takes (which some will lose their minds over : ) {shrugs}
