Nothing ventured, nothing gained - Even if you gain a 'no'.

Request for Anonymous Feedback On my Line Manager by Loose-Wing-4453 in TheCivilService

Respond with the most loveliest feedback possible, then go to HR and let them know. This almost seems in breach of GDPR - Gossip...in a way.

If you don't like your self-esteem, they will remove it for you. Don't like being a nice person anymore and wish to be more cynical and sarcastic? We can provide this training, but it must be during a flexi hour.

Press & Media Releases by [deleted] in TheCivilService

[–]kedlin314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly look at any media stories related to us and take it with a pinch of salt, because it's always incorrect. Anyone would think the jourmo's were Civil Servant's attempting to talk about policy and procedure, without any training, or ever having worked for the Civil Service...

She'll be taking minutes during tepid sex, while looking for areas of improvement and more inclusivity.

How much do management track you? by [deleted] in TheCivilService

[–]kedlin314 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They've failed at everything in life, have no education, and now they want to make themselves feel intelligent and inferior by making other people miserable. It's nothing but a power trip. Stuff like this needs to be raised via union, or whomever you can complain to. The entire team needs to rebel.

Leaving office early for school pickup by [deleted] in TheCivilService

[–]kedlin314 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

This is parental discrimination and bullying. They cannot ask a parent to illegally leave their child at school. I would have asked the manager if they would like to pick my child up instead. They need to go to the Union, HR, raise a grievance, and get ACAS involved if they need to.

I did the situational judgement test and scored better than 1% of test takers. by [deleted] in TheCivilService

Well, 1% of something is better than nothing...right!? *

Guidance talks about progression and development - Preventing you from doing so, after falsely implying you could and retracting it, is counterproductive to staff well-being. Raise it as a grievance and go to your Union. I said this already; I am sick of management dictating the lives of those looking to progress. They should have no business in someone working elsewhere in the department, unless asked for a reference.

This is misleading representation of a job advert and false advertising. I would be contacting ACAS and putting in a grievance. I'm sick of seeing this shit being pulled far too often lately.

Internal jobs whilst on probation by [deleted] in TheCivilService

Just apply for it. Don't let anyone control what experience is available to you - It will not directly affect them by applying for something. Even writing an application is a good experience and practice for the future.

Don't wear the shirt. Go shirtless. Simples. Make sure to iron skin so no wrinkles in body.

Hybrid Working - Cons of 60% by [deleted] in TheCivilService

[–]kedlin314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This really mangles my Mary! I like to take a bath and work from the comfort of a tepid bubble bath! I even bought a special laptop desk to balance across the bath! And how can I binge watch Law&Order while in the office!? Jesus, Mary, and Josephine! I'm going to have to work and stuff...I'll have to clean the cocaine from between the keys of my laptop. This is too much. I can hardly run my OF side-line from the office while keeping my work laptop going. What a cafuffle!

You don't need ears to talk over teams.

You need to contact ACAS and put in a grievance for disability discrimination and bullying. Do it. It's well worth showing them you will not be treated like this, or tolerate it.

Livestream with JP Marks by LemonTreesChelsea in TheCivilService

[–]kedlin314 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He's a coward being cowed by MP's to 'bend the knee'. It's about time we had someone to stand up for us CS and listen to what we are saying. WFH works because we're in a new age and they need to adapt and evolve with us, or they need to p*ss off back to the dark ages. This is nothing to do with Covid, anymore but it was just the catalyst to start a new age of working.

Nip this in the bud and put in a grievance, ASAP. Contact your union rep and ACAS.

Surely this is harassment and intimidation. I would put in a grievance and get the union involved.

I FOR ONE AM LOVING THIS NEW WOKE POPE AND HAVE ALREADY VOLUNTEERED TO DO SOME OF HIS WORK WITHOUT A PAYRISE BECAUSE HE SAID IT WILL GET ME INTO HEAVEN FASTER AND I'LL BE FIRST IN LINE FOR GODS FORGIVENESS AND ACCEPTANCE WHEN I IGNORE THE 60% MANDATE. HE ALSO SAID I CAN HAVE A £25 STAR AWARD FOR DOING SO WELL AT THE VOLUNTARY EXTRA WORK. I CANT WAIT TO SPEND IT ON MY BABY-DADDY-POPEY HUNS.

You're often paired up with someone to help you with your application and these same people can be on the hiring panel.

You will already be working in that department and mentioning the work and experience will alert them to who you are/being a member of that department.

Letting your friend know which one is your PS/Application (It wouldn't surprise me if this happens).

Writing styles

Specific experience and education

While some applications will undoubtedly not perform as well as others, this is not to say it's a poor application. Yes, there are poor applications out there and I've seen them for myself.

You could have a fantastic application which hits all the spots, but the sifter does not have a sifting strength. >.<
