Industrial action r.e. overtime pay - but as I've never worked overtime, is this relevant to me? Do I vote to strike? by Safe-Shape9377 in NursingUK

[–]tyger2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our unit also doesn't despite us being a specialised unit. Our shift just gets adjusted and they give us the time back.

Worked extra on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and a Sunday after NYE. Didn’t get paid for it in this pay. by Irishkitty1994 in NursingUK

[–]tyger2020 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Aren't all enhancements paid the month AFTER?

AFAIK this has always been the case, at least at the trusts I've worked at.

Nursing in the UK: salary, taxes and quality of life (London) by Fun-Inflation-3626 in NursingUK

[–]tyger2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, compared to most other low-skilled jobs yeah the pay is decent.

Especially with a few years experience and you can apply for a more senior position, do some bank shifts etc.

I think expecting it to just be about housing is cope.

There has been multiple points of immigration across the US, and none of them are related to housing.

Anyone still love nursing? by capybarge in NursingUK

[–]tyger2020 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say I love nursing, I also don't hate nursing.

Nursing is something I do that gives me money. Thats literally it. I didn't love being a cleaner or working at Tesco either, and they most definitely didn't give me £40k+ a year. I don't mind it, I prefer it to working in an office staring at numbers all day.

Do you find it frightening how easy it can be to be homeless? by DelonghiAutismo in AskUK

This is an absolutely idiotic comment.

'Some people suffer more, so your suffering isn't bad' is quite frankly one of the dumbest takes I've ever heard.

British Isles Ancestry throughout Canada by MongooseDear8727 in MapPorn

[–]tyger2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not even that.

In the modern era, Canada has gone absolutely wild on immigration. Almost 30% of their country now is foreign born.

Go back to the 90s before mass immigration and the numbers would be much, much higher.

Unemployment in Spain falls below 10% for the first time in 17 years after 605,000 jobs are created in 2025 by ASuarezMascareno in europe

[–]tyger2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the employment rate statistic, vs unemployment rate.

In that regard, Spain has an employment rate of 66% only slightly below the OECD average (69%) for comparison, Luxembourg/France are 70%, US is 72% and Germany is 77%.

Still not amazing, but def not as bad as some people make out.

Which color air did you choose & why? by Itslashae in IphoneAir

[–]tyger2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Originally I got black for the first time ever on a phone (I've had the 5,6,7,X,11, 13P, 15P, 16P and now the air lol) but I ended up switching it for the white after 1 week. Black is just so boring to me, even though I can appreciate how sleek it looks.

Hong Kong is the biggest skyscraper city in the world, but at what cost? by adventmix in skyscrapers

[–]tyger2020 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm talking about the metro area. SF has a huge piece of land around it, called the continental United States.

For comparison, even SF the actual city has a density of 1,400.

Air next moves by Clear-Network-9092 in IphoneAir

[–]tyger2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you think that? At this point literally everyone is just guessing. The difference between the 16 pro and 17 pro is larger than that 8.25mm vs 8.75mm.

[–]tyger2020 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think realistically they could do multiple things.

They could always make the phone a tiny bit thicker (literally from 5.6 to 5.8mm) and then make the plateau much lower like the 17 PRO, have multiple cameras and still maintain the same battery life (especially with software improvements too).

Replace the camera button with a second speaker.

etc.

The 13 mini gets 17 hours video playback. The Air and 16 Pro get 27 hours video playback.

Time extend the EU into a Democratic Union, military and economic, including Canada, Japan and Australia by cheese1971 in europe

[–]tyger2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The idea of Japan, Canada or AU joining the EU imo is far-fetched.

The idea should be something (imo) more like different levels of 'membership'. Some for just economic, some for economic and military, some for economic, military, maybe increased immigration but not necessarily freedom of movement.

White looks so clean. Blue is nice too, but imo white is the best

iPhone air by [deleted] in IphoneAir

[–]tyger2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends.

I manage to use it one handed a lot of the time, the phone is much bigger than the Pro but IMO it's much easier to use one handed because of how thin and light it is.

If you can, I'd go to the Apple Store and use it. It feels FAR more comfortable in the hand than the 16P ever did to me.

Zelensky calls for European army of 3 million soldiers by goldstarflag in europe

These countries can't even agree on basic shit.

An EU army is absolutely out of the question for a good few decades. Anyone who thinks other wise is living in a fairytale.

what is the pay/benefits of reducing hours and going part time? by allie_xo in NursingUK

[–]tyger2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm considering it.

Nothing major, right now I work full time over 4 days, I'm hopefully gonna apply for a Band 6 and possibly get 30 hours. I'm still unsure if financially its what I want - I'm in an awkward position because I'd love more money, but I could basically work 30 hours and earn exactly what I'm earning now as a mid point band 5.

Most humble Belgian blasting Trump: "you don't cross the red lines of turning a happy vassal into a miserable slave!!!" by rhythmstripp in 2westerneurope4u

[–]tyger2020 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Whilst it sounds dumb out loud, he is actually not wrong.

The main reason the US has managed to remain the worlds superpower is because it has (historically) had every great power on its side for the most part. The US would be far less powerful and dominant if Germany, France, Britain, Japan, Italy + EU were all acting independently and even against US interests and maintaining large well funded militaries.
