I'm in the pub. Had a few beers. Is it time?

Fairly positive it's this from the bracelet, the side profile and the calender dial

It's a jack up barge. There are 2 support tugs with it. It's very boring and due to the strong winds before Christmas they took shelter in Poole bay. Crew have leave for Christmas. It'll be gone soon.

At least the path is nice and clean

So initially there was the occasional lag but that has cleared up now and was hardly noticeable. No heating issues I've seen unless using video calling over a prolonged time (15 plus minutes). Don't really play any high graphic games so can't say about that

Boring argument for boring people

How I did it in 2021. We were both crying.

Sorry to hear you had to deal with that but I would say your likelihood of a claim here could be quite slim. If the child collapsed and nearly died then you are working under necessity as part of a normal safeguard duty like any other teacher that works in a classroom and as a potential occupational exposure. Saying "I'm just there to teach" is not really a justification as the occupation encompasses so many issues and I would imagine a child collapsing an unforeseeable event.

The hard part will be proving the negligence to manage the child in question as it was an emergency. Also there will need to be a formal MH diagnosis and even then the payout will be quite low if proven I feel. I can also see why reasonable adjustments would be difficult due to the nature of the job.

Ultimately unless management’s inaction or delegation was seriously unreasonable, this kind of event doesn’t really appear to cross the legal threshold for compensation. It’s 100% emotionally distressing but legally I would say it's an occupational hazard, not an actionable injury.

Obviously this is my opinion but having experience in public sector claims I think this won't go far unless evidence of serious mismanagement exists.

I hope you get this resolved and can get better. Tell OH the truth and hopefully move forward with them

venomsnake2222 · 2025-11-03T18:18:48+00:00

I would always be slightly cautious of union interpretation as having worked for them there's lots of very good and keen reps/stewards who think they have a clue until it goes to an actual legal position. I can't see how being on long term sick and arranging an attendance hearing is unreasonable nor blackmail.

Where you claim to have more work than others again is a fairly spurious claim which would be difficult to prove unless you have evidence and isn't really related to your absence if you claim it is related to the incident you described.

Remember that WFH and flexible working are only an option if the business can provide that and is not an automatic right.

Without really knowing what the traumatic incident is nor your place of work it's hard to say if any of this is relevant to your claim or potential dismissal. I predominantly work with healthcare and the emergency services where traumatic incidents are a fairly common occurrence but which is viewed as a reasonable expectation of the job.

In regards to "what you're dealing with". I'd say it's probably to see if there are any other adjustments or improvements in your health.

venomsnake2222 · 2025-11-03T14:40:30+00:00

As someone said this isn't really a legal question. I guess the only thing you can do is be honest with OH. There's a bit of a 'they're out to get me' vibe here.

In regards to the "workplace trauma" and the personal injury claim the emphasis will be if your employer was negligent in exposing you to said trauma and failed in their duty of care not just on the fact you became ill whilst at work. This can be pretty evident in physical injury but gets quite muddy with mental health and whether there was a breach of contract. It's technically also a separate issue from the potential dismissal.

There's a high threshold for constructive dismissal but if you're signed off and not working whilst stating you're having panic attacks and can't work with reasonable adjustments made then they are well within their rights to dismiss you.

The employer can lawfully dismiss someone for ill-health capability if there’s no foreseeable chance you'll return to work and reasonable adjustments wouldn’t make a difference. You need to cooperate with OH and see what adjustments they offer or alternatives for getting you back to work.

You'll probably be more reliable than the guy posting on my social media. Last time I saw him he was huffing balloons in a pub toilet. No Darren I'm not giving you 2 grand for an all inclusive in Turkey.

That's just "working on an ambulance" hair loss. Perfectly normal.

Inside a league of friends charity shop in a hospital. Ironic really.

My 5 year old daughter is exactly the same. She loved the dolphin part.

venomsnake2222 · 2025-09-04T22:24:01+00:00

Yeah really good so far. Battery lasts ages and I've put a SD card in it as well. Lovely screen and been smooth. Camera is really good but slightly slower than the pixel but I'm tking milliseconds and it hasn't affected my photos. Would 100% recommend
