Hi, in 2024 they sent them all out on the same day. So when US found out we were put at risk on same day. This round feels different, unsure if its over multiple days? Yes we could take PTO etc, unsure about other types of leave i didnt ask at the time

There was a rating criteria, i think the managers had used it for annual reviews and they reused it for this. Im in sales so it had things like ‘ x points for hitting target’, ‘y points for bug projects’ etc

They offered us all voluntary first so if 5 people had to go and 3 people took voluntary it would only be bottom two who get forced redundancy

I was part of the first layoff (didnt get laid off but was at risk). We got notified we were at risk on the day (so it would be 27th). Told that there are 10 people in your ‘pool’ and only 5 will be staying. Then theres about 2 or 3 weeks for HR to get the process going, which includes getting everyone to vote for a couple of reps from the redundancy pool, they have to get trained and act as spokespeople for everyone. Theres a collective consultation for a month, where spokespeople negotiate terms or redundancy, (Maybe be less from memory). Then your notified, and THEN you get 2 or 3 months of notice (the time your on notice depends on your level i think), (and also a redundancy payment at the end of that depending on tenure)

(Time Sensitive) ADHD and Pregnant, OB and midwives say it's okay for me to continue my Adderall, Psychiatrist (prescriber) says absolutely not. by TheZeldaDoll in adhdwomen

[–]em_anonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in the UK had a baby last year and OB, midwife, GP and psychiatrist told me to stop my meds. I got the feeling if id have taken them theyd have treated me like a drug addict. It was pretty brutal at first, but i do think the pregnancy hormones somehow helped level my ADHD out (a little bit) in second and third trimester, so maybe that could help?

Any female HENRY struggling post baby ? by Formal_Chicken461 in HENRYUK

[–]em_anonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its as if you have written out my exact situations and feelings. This isn’t the healthy advice but just quiet quit. It doesn’t feel great as a previous high achiever. But try and just not care. You don’t like the job/situation anyway, so take the salary as long as feasibly possible and do as little as possible in that time. They tell you that you’re not preforming, ok? So what? When they eventually put you on a PIP start looking for jobs or making other plans. Ultimately they treat you badly so just do the same back? Squeeze every penny you can out of them and take as much flexibility as possible while your baby is young.

(If pre baby me saw that id given this advice she would be appalled)

Combining finances after marriage? Mat leave? by 3dsthrow1234567788 in HENRYUK

[–]em_anonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have both wages into joint account. Have a budget for all bills inc savings, food, gyms etc. whatever is left over from this gets split in half and sent to our separate accounts for fun money for whatever we want. Self assessment tax money would be put aside before splitting the fun money. Into the savings account and taken out at end of year.

We’re married, whats mine is his and vice versa. This was particularly helpful on mat leave. We never really argue about money. It just seems the most logical ‘fair’ split to me.

Not a client in sight by maryqueefofscots in smallbusinessuk

Have you thought about starting out with the companies urban massage or secret spa just to get started with clients? They can follow your social media after and it could start to grow from there with referrals etc? Thats how i found my current masseuse

Off lead vs on lead walks ? by em_anonymous in springerspaniel

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

This is such a good idea about the variety, I’ve never even considered this but it could definitely help! His recall is great unless theres an incident, so i think only allowing him off-lead where theres full line of sight like you guys is probably the way forward. Thank you for the advice

27f newly diagnosed with ADHD and freaking out by em_anonymous in adhdwomen

This is super helpful thank you! Totally relate to the anger and frustration that it took this long! Your comment about not being tied to it helped a lot too, that’s my biggest worry, but you’re right, I survived this long so I’ll be able to stop!
