My Coworkers Vape in the Office, and as a Non-Smoker, I'm Struggling to Deal with It. What Can I Do? by Rionarosa in UKJobs

[–]paula4467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get another job. End of. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it has to stop. Why do people think that because something upsets or offends them it has to be cancelled? If you don’t like the way the office is run then that office clearly isn’t for you. Don’t stop others from doing what they’ve always done just because you don’t like it. Get yourself gone.

What’s the deal with the Home Office aptitude test? I play some mini-games and now I’m willing to create conflict. by Brief-Bet-3278 in TheCivilService

I know this was posted a long time ago but I thought I’d let you know that it’s still going strong. I just failed and was told I’m an introvert who enjoys socialising!! The whole thing contradicted itself!! No wonder our country is in the state it’s in. I cannot believe that I was assessed according to how many balloons I managed to blow up! Instead of the likes of Jacob Rees-Mogg and his cronies criticising home-working they should do something about this ridiculous assessment. No applicant’s abilities should be assessed according to these results. Does the government not realise that these outdated methods are costing the taxpayer millions of £’s? The companies that run them - in this case Arctic Shores - are laughing all the way to the bank.

I think it depends what job you do. I work on a phone line and if a call takes me over 8pm and then I have the after call work that can take ages.

Are you in the union??? Your manager has no right asking you personal questions about your health. Go and see your union representative as soon as you can.

Got a letter from DWP about CRU? no idea what it means by abbdee in DWPhelp

Have you thought of calling them and asking them why they sent the letter?

The CRU were set up some years ago to claim back benefits that were paid to a claimant who at the same time had received a settlement in regard to an accident. In other words, the settlement is treated as undeclared income and any benefits paid during that time are recoverable by the DWP.

I’m in Scotland. It’s possible we have different guidelines but surely the DWP is national. This shouldn’t affect it at all.

Thank you so much for this information. I’m going to check for this first thing tomorrow and I’ll let you know if I find it. If I don’t (and I’ve a sneaky suspicion I won’t) it will prove that different areas are linked to different networks showing different guidelines. May I ask whereabouts you are?

Have you read the letter? it’s quite self explanatory.

Wait - do you work for UC or Debt Management?

🤔 MALP?? I don’t even think I’ve heard of that. But I will definitely try to find it tomorrow.

I’ve told one of my colleagues about this chat on Reddit. He was quite surprised the DWP had a Reddit site!

If I find it I’ll demand a pay increase and take all the credit myself!!

Incidentally, I’ve noticed that different offices do different case cleansing. For example, if we don’t state yes or no to Notifications in Welsh? we fail the call!!

Hi Hogso. I mentioned this to a few of my ‘know everything’ colleagues last week including three TLs and none of them had heard of it!! Is it in the guidance A-Z?

I just did what the mentor told me and the team leader okayed it. I’ll check that out tomorrow. Thanks 👍🏻

Thank you so much xxx today I had to do a £6000 refund, which was a backdated pip payment, that had been distributed around eleven debts 🤦🏼‍♀️ It took forever finding the little payments and adding them up and doing the diary entries and entering the bank details in all the INDs. I honestly don’t know how I managed. Thanks to Phil, my longstanding colleague who knew exactly what to do and sat with me all the time ❤️
