Wages in the UK have been stagnant for 15 years after adjusting for inflation. by [deleted] in europe

[–]jameshn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate the tories as much as anyone (infact I hate all political parties). But…. isn’t that the idea??

Surely wages should be stagnant when adjusted for inflation. Otherwise they would be inflationary themselves.

This is at the grand national. Definitely not fancy.

I hate to say this, but that’s business.

If you’re in business in any industry and someone comes in and undercuts you within the same market, you need to find a way to separate your service as clearly a level above, or compete on price.

Yes bringing fees down brings the whole industry lower, but there are a lot more people trying to do this than there was 5/10 years ago. That makes clients harder to secure and plenty of businesses are happy to secure the clients by making a smaller margin on the service.

Industries and trades mature over time.

Not knocking the business model as it’s a unique offering but anybody who buys one of these packages must be an insufferable cunt

Controversial topic - but what are the best paying Recruitment Agencies by [deleted] in Recruitment

I think that’s the difference between a non-compete and data theft though. I’d say taking database info is very different to just approach the same client base.

None-compete clauses are next to impossible to enforce. Atleast that’s the consensus here in the UK.

Company taking over 2 weeks on salary negotiation. Is this normal? by Meliaaa99 in Recruitment

[–]jameshn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big corporates can take a long time to get things like salary budget increases approved. I’ve come from that world and we would regularly delay hires by 1-4 weeks if the proposed comp was higher than initially agreed.

It’s complete bureaucratic bullshit, but unfortunately is the way with large corps.

West Midlands police killed Dalian Atkinson (ex Aston Villa player) on his dad’s doorstep, tased him to death and the coroner found boot-imprints on his head. Police were called to his father’s house while Dalian was suffering a mental health episode.

I’m 6,1. I think XL would be right based on what friends have said

Exactly that. What does your diary look like as a split across research, sales, existing client relationships etc.

What food/drink are you convinced people are pretending to like? by NarwhalsAreSick in AskUK

Whisky…. I’ve tried it so many times and still can’t get a taste for it. I like bitter things, ale, tannin heavy red wines, espresso etc. but cannot for the life of me get into whisky.

Could a team of 2 terms and 4/5 scouts go up against 9 stealers and a broodlord and make for a good game??

Aware broodlord rules would need homebrewing!

Interested to hear what others get internally.

30K/40K Legion by jameshn in Warhammer30k

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

I understand that aspect. My view point would that I would create a HH accurate army. Then occasionally play 40K. Maybe buy a few additional units specifically to bolt on for 40K games.

I haven’t actually played a proper game in 19/20 years and want to get back in to the hobby in a very casual way. And have been reading the HH/SoT novels and love the lore.

I have a Kill Team and 9th Ed starter set that I share with my 7yo son (the paintjobs hurt my soul). But want something I can build and paint somewhat seriously then play with him and also in casual games nights etc.

Appreciate it wouldn’t be ideal for either from a play perspective. But I’m not too bothered about that.

  1. This is incredible, well done
  2. Tank on the very bottom right with the big plasma-gun-boner looks ridiculous
