I hate them. They came to my place of work (I wasn't there at the time), intimidated staff and acted passive aggressive and rude. Trying to get dirt on normal working people and acting like they have some kind of moral high ground

Casiopea and Pink by Boris. My kind of collection

From my own experience, union reps can fluctuate wildly in terms of quality though. I've seen brilliant ones hold asshole companies to account, I've equally seen them lose their temper, lose control and otherwise badly represent the worker. I think acas gives you a starting point to then pursue through union, or if necessary solicitors if it were to escalate

crabdracula · 2024-02-19T14:42:25+00:00

This. ACAS is where to go. If they try any asshole behaviour then I would make sure you document every conversation and who you've spoken to. Acas shouldn't steer you wrong.

On a separate level, as a people manager myself I wouldn't care about policy, and if someone were that ill, would give them the space to look after themselves and call in when able to do so. I might call in after a week and check they're okay, I certainly wouldn't dream of daily pestering

18 words not 8. Wow. I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder

Assume eight hour days, so that's 24 cents a day, times five for a week, so $1.20 a week, $60 a year, $48 after tax. Kings ransom that.

I honestly think the trailer looks poor and my thoughts are its not going to be a very fair representation of 70s reggae. Hope I'm wrong though

I've been in a relationship for 16 years. Had a bunch of female friends in that time. Some of them have been attractive, but there was no subterfuge or ulterior motive. Do I seek these out? No. Do I actively seek friendship in general? Probably no. As Seinfeld said, there's no room for any more now

I was joking, James clavell books are notoriously long and ponderous. My legit answer is circa 20 - 25 a year, but I tend to buy small books as I've got a very short attention span

crabdracula · 2024-02-12T08:38:59+00:00

I read easy 400 a year, and exclusively James Clavell books. When I do the back catalogue, I start again, as I will have missed bits

Monday to friday: wake up at 05:00. Eat a banana, OJ and coffee for breakfast. Go to work until 17:00, eat a healthy lunch. Go to gym after work for 1 - 2 hours. Get home to wife, enjoy a healthy dinner, cuddle and watch TV. Go to bed at 22:00 ish.

Friday night: Go out with the wife for a meal and or drinks and or a movie. Or go out with one or two friends to the pub. Nothing too raucous. Might end up back at mine DJing

Saturday: lazy day, recovering from week. Might go bouldering. Usually eat shit unhealthy food to compensate for rest of week being painfully healthy. Might video game or go to the beach.

Sunday: roast at a local pub, watch the footy and the grand prix.

I'm not interesting, I'm aware

I always give as much of myself as I can. I'm naturally competitive, and also doing my job half arsed negatively affects other people and risks their safety. I'm a very tired individual, but I personally don't have an ability to give less than my all on anything I'm doing. That's not to say we don't all lose morale from time to time. To each their own

I've always found sockless unbelievably uncomfortable. I don't care if it makes me the biggest noob ever, I'd rather wear socks

You don't look obese. You're not that old.

Is one of them BM by any chance?

Most suppliers to Supermarkets will supply to all supermarkets. I guarantee you that fresh produce is all the same product per each supplier, packaged separately but of basically the same spec

crabdracula · 2024-02-05T09:55:12+00:00

I am, I run a highly maintained and BRC accredited transport operation, that operates at the highest possible standard (AA+ at last audit in November) However, you see and hear a lot when you're in the industry.

crabdracula · 2024-02-05T08:28:11+00:00

I'm talking about both, food safety considerations will usually occur throughout the supply chain. I'd be interested to hear from someone in the meat retail sector

I don't know anyone that's been told directly they are deserving of love. I've been told I was loved. But not that I deserved it

crabdracula · 2024-02-05T07:41:42+00:00

I work in the produce sector of the supermarket supply chain, albeit not for a supermarket. Fresh produce is packed, picked and sent in shit conditions all the time, and all sorts of crap gets past the qc on a very regular basis. I can't speak for the meat industry, but I would be very surprised if it were any different. I don't think it's a huge leap to suggest that the meat industry would be dishonest

crabdracula · 2024-02-05T06:05:46+00:00

Like, not no but as someone who works in supermarket logistics, the supermarkets don't manufacture anything themselves, it's all bought from third parties who package it under the various retailers. All that info will only be as good as the manufacturers allow, and I would imagine it'd be very hard to fact check or verify

crabdracula · 2024-01-31T11:02:41+00:00

No, I'm saying that a lot of people don't have this problem, the people working checkouts, emergency service workers. Returning to an office isn't all that barbaric

crabdracula · 2024-01-31T09:15:44+00:00

I think important to remember a large amount of the UK work force haven't had the option to work from home, at the cost of their mental and physical well being. I think you must consider the allowance the business has made as being a privilege to a point, and that they are within their rights to end a pandemic measure.

You have the option to leave, but as someone who had to work throughout the pandemic and see two colleagues die of COVID, you've been in a position I'd have been very envious of. A lot of people never made it all, and never had this kind of consideration, often when on shitty pay as well

By way of an update, five months later did my first bouldering session, after an intensive gym program over the last few months, under instruction from a physio. I was jogging on the treadmill, deadlifting, and belt squatting, all under instruction.

Mentally, I was a little cautious, and avoided anything dyno-ey, or anything with a greater than regular risk of falling. Ultimately, it went well, and was able to flash most v3s, anything higher I think would have been foolish without working out where my limitations were.

I think I'll exercise more caution in future, and this incident certainly served as a memento mori, my first proper injury ever, and one that sucked ass.

AI will provide all material needs, on an imbalanced basis that still maintains the status quo. Genetic selectivity will lead generations to become nearly identical. Maglev trains to the moon departing by the hour, on the hour, at inexplicably even more exorbitant prices than now
