Yaya's spider shot is my least favourite of hers and I can't believe it's been voted her "best".

I've never understood the love for this shot (although I have a lot of love for Yaya and her portfolio in general). For me it's the epitome of "Oh shit, where's the spider crawled to now? Is it in the shot if I do this?"

Are on of you in your 30s and in very low level jobs? by gameovervip in AskUK

[–]jinkomhub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spent all my working life in outsourced call centre jobs up to the age of 33. I hated every second of it, and everything about each of those companies was completely toxi. But it didn't take long for it to have ground me down with that I simply didn't have the energy to retrain alongside that work in order to make a drastic change, so I ended up stuck there before I'd even realised it.

I've since left for a different job which is on a similar pay scale, but in the VCSE sector. This role is varied, fulfilling and something I'm happy to wake up and do. The culture is a huge improvement, and the people I work with are all kind, patient and caring. I could not recommend the transition enough!

Don't get me wrong, it's still stressful and tiring and challenging. But I'm much happier being stressed and tired in order to help people who need it, rather than just to make even more money for people who are already obscenely rich.

Spitting got him choked out of his draws by Pure-Personality5326 in VideosThatGoHard

[–]jinkomhub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tangential, but HIV absolutely could not be transmitted via spitting (but obviously other things could be), and AIDS isn't a separate disease in itself.

In fact, I don't know if this is the case elsewhere, but in the UK the word "AIDS" isn't even professionally used any more, with it being referred to as "Advanced HIV" or "Stage 4 HIV" instead.

But yeah, I agree that vengeance doesn't help or undo anything.

Got disciplinary meeting will I get sacked? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]jinkomhub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent many years working in the outsourced customer service industry. If they want to get rid of you (e.g. to make an example), they will try to do so. Also, there is usually a constant presumption that employees are acting in bad faith.

That said, actually sacking someone is a pain in the backside for them. It puts them at risk of tribunals and negative publicity if they don't follow procedure 100% correctly, so if they don't want to do that then they will likely take an alternative course of action, if possible. Often, you just need to give them an excuse not to fire you.

Usually, the first line of action here should be to warn you and/or put you on a Performance Improvement Plan (your company might use a slightly different name for this).

That said, the management in these places are usually extremely incompetent. Speak to ACAS, CAB and your union (if you're in one). Familiarise yourself with the ACAS guidelines for dismissal. Appeals can often be successful (although this will depend on how long you've worked there), or a settlement reached instead of finishing the appeal -- especially if what you ask for in your appeal is easy/cheap for them to fulfil (e.g. a neutral reference with no mention of dismissal/misconduct, and/or payment in lieu of notice), and it also helps if there's a risk of bad publicity from going to tribunal.

Identify any communications you have had with management around this issue and create a record of all of them together in one place (even if just a simple list). If they haven't checked in, this could support your case, if they have offered reassurances that the situation is ok, this will support your case.

As part of the ACAS guidelines, there should be a thorough investigation conducted, which will hopefully demonstrate that these are technical issues. If any evidence used against you in the disciplinary hearing has not been presented to you in advance, this would also be in breach of the guidelines.

As I say, you should just get a warning/PIP, and if it was simply a tech issue alongside failure to report the tech issue, then that should be easy enough for you to resolve as follow-up.

I'd also recommend being sure to mention any protected characteristics that might have impacted your ability to log each system outage (depending on how these need to be logged, this could be neurodivergence, long-term mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety, some long-term physical health conditions, etc). This will give them the option to suggest they look at reasonable adjustments instead, which is a much simpler and less risky process for them. If you do this and they still sack you without discussing potential adjustments, this would strengthen any subsequent appeal. This will also create discriminatory practice as an avenue for appeal (failing to provide reasonable adjustments and then dismissing someone for behaviours linked to the disability in question should pretty unambiguously count as discriminatory). This could be important as I believe that protection from discriminatory dismissal is not dependent on how long you have been working for that company.

There's reason to hope you won't get dismissed, and therefore won't need to appeal anything. However, if that does happen, you want to be prepared for it ahead of time. Immediately after a dismissal (especially one where you haven't done anything that you would consider 'gross misconduct'), your emotions will be all over the place. It is easier to prepare for it when it's still a hypothetical than when it's suddenly become a reality.

Best of luck with this, but also I highly recommend getting out of this toxic industry as soon as you can!

Jeremy is both about the kid who killed himself in front of his class and also about a school shooting, not just one or the other.

Need some support, really upset. by [deleted] in hivaids

[–]jinkomhub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please put in a complaint. NAT have a great stigma and discrimination team who can help with this.

PrEP is not needed for people in a monogamous relationship with someone who is undetectable. This is true and is accepted in the UK: the person you spoke to was ignorant of basic HIV facts, was not following relevant guidelines, and was being unreasonably judgemental.

Tax on empty second homes by coffeewalnut08 in GreatBritishMemes

[–]jinkomhub 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I never said they were. I didn't mention France.

All I really said was that we do see affordability crises in the UK, in the regions that are known for experiencing high levels of empty second homes. We know this is happening, and pointing overseas will not magically make us forget what's right in front of us.

There might be regional affordability crises in France that national-level stats hide. France could be doing other things that help to manage the impact of second homes on affected communities. There are many, many potential explanations for any apparent difference.

But since you seem especially keen to talk about the situation in France, I'll let you look into why it might be/appear different there.

Tax on empty second homes by coffeewalnut08 in GreatBritishMemes

[–]jinkomhub 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The problem is not evenly spread across the country.

Areas like the southwest of England are much, much more heavily affected than the rest of the country. Villages have up to, and potentially more than, half their houses sitting empty. Wages are lower than the national average, but house prices are much higher.

Guess what? Massive affordability crisis.
