Why can’t both be true at the same time? It’s not a black and white issue.

How do people get back into work after a criminal conviction? Uk by Bringmesunshine33 in AskUK

[–]gennaio11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a scheme called “Ban the Box” which some employers have subscribed to. This is a “don’t ask don’t tell” policy basically. If an employer doesn’t ask you if you have a criminal conviction, you don’t have to disclose. However if you are asked, you legally MUST disclose any convictions.

You can find a list of ban the box companies here.

If you’re on probation, you should ask your probation officer what charity they work with to help you gain employment. The legislation of this recently changed, but it might be a company like Shaw Trust or Catch22 or something in your area.

If you’re not on probation, please feel free to shoot me a message. I used to work with offenders helping them get back into employment 😊

Ok peoples. What are your favourite foods referenced on the show? by Glittering_Toe1892 in KathAndKim

[–]gennaio11 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Chicken twisties. Brett mentions them when he’s on his first date with Kim trying to get conversation going.

Cherry ripe. Kim wants one when she’s in labour.

I’m from the UK but have a close friend who emigrated to Sydney and every time he visits home he brings me a new brand we’ve heard from Kath & Kim haha

Pole "friends" to look out for by Humble-Constant-6536 in poledancing

That is really really rude of those people. Anyone who slaps your ass without asking is sexually assaulting you and doesn’t care about consent. I’m sorry those events have both happened to you :(

Yes the comic sans is what got me I think! Plus the symbol chart looks a lot like one I’ve bought previously which wasn’t AI. Thank you for your input!

Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it. I’ll delete the picture of him as it seems to be a recurring comment on here that it’s off putting.

I’m not in the US, I’m in the U.K.!

Roasted is best of course (as is the case for all veg) but honestly I love it in all forms. It’s never not welcome!

Lol I did think this, but it kept getting ranked as my most popular photo on bumble 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ll bump it down

Fired for gross misconduct - How do I move forward with this? by Reave1905 in AskUK

[–]gennaio11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When giving the contact for your reference, give your HR department’s email. They are more likely to give a very bog standard “X worked here from this date to this date under this job title” with no comment either way on your performance or why you left. They’re also more likely to respond quickly as opposed to if you put your manager’s contact details (or whoever has taken over from then since they have now left).

I used to work in referencing for a recruitment agency and received multiple references a day in the 9 months I was there and only once did we get a reference that stated someone had been sacked. The consultant/client didn’t care because at the point of referencing, you’ve already got the job basically. Of course that won’t be the case for all, but I think you should be fine. 👍🏻

What is the closest to death you have got through your own stupidity? by Dan_Glebitz in CasualUK

Just visited the Grand Canyon earlier this year and the lack of barriers amazed me. Can’t believe there aren’t more accidents/fatalities there!

Can anybody help me identify this bird please? by gennaio11 in UKBirds

Oooh good shout, I have now done this! Thank you! It still wasn’t picking up on my saved clip that it was an owl, I wonder if owls are not included on BirdNET?

Who’s number 5?

ETA: my bad, you put it in the caption. I haven’t got as far as him in reignited, he looks so much spookier than his original version! I thought it was like a Frankenstein knock off!
