If Ireland wants the extension to avoid a hard border and checks I really can't see the EU siding with someone (Hungary?) over Ireland. (Yes, theoretically any member state could veto it, but I'd imagine the EU is a lot more persuasive than Boris)

justcola posted:From a few pages back, but if you were curious you could send a subject access request to the company and request all your data from them, especially regarding any e-mails or messages containing information about you - if you had an e-mail address there you could BCC yourself in as well, so if they say they had deleted all that stuff you can say the e-mail is still active therefore they're fibbing. If you suspect they are you can request a data audit from the ICO. Thanks, I might look into that. Had some more time to think about it and I think I might have sussed what did me in. It’s really really stupid and petty, but apart from from someone else they really wanted suddenly becoming available it’s the only scenario that explains everything. My former line manager is one of those very middle class and middle aged women, with a very haughty and judgemental air about her and married to a man two decades older than she is. An entire wall in her office was completely covered in printouts of those godawful inspirational quotes (compete with jpeg compression artefacts). Basically Maude Flanders, and I think I would have genuinely offended her if I had ever used the mildest of profanity. So lunch had been ordered in as an external visitor was onsite and the conversation turned to TV shows - specifically The Bodyguard. From there she got onto her soapbox and made it known that she didn’t like the show because it had sex in it, and that she can’t stand any sex in any show regardless of how mild it is because it’s unnecessary and teaches “the children” bad morals. She hates the character of the Home Secretary in The Bodyguard not because she is a power hungry tyrant in the making eager to trample on everyone’s civil liberties, but because she sleeps with her bodyguard. I should point out for those who’ve not seen the show that the HS is very traumatised having just survived an attempt on her life and gives in during a moment of vulnerability with her bodyguard, who is having trouble at home. The scene is not explicit in the slightest. It is apparently all down to “what we are teaching the children these days”. She also hates this “politically correct obsession of depicting equal numbers of women in high up positions compared to men when it’s not realistic.” I think my first mistake was commenting that she’s probably not into Game of Thrones then. My second mistake was asking if it was ok if it was a key plot point, using The Terminator as an example. I was informed that it was not ok and that it shouldn’t be necessary to show anything related to it at all, because of what it teaches tHE ChILDreN. My last mistake was commenting how such things don’t really bother me and that often shows/films/games with this kind of content usually aren’t intended for children anyway, often ending up with an 18 certificate. The other folks in the room agreed, which probably didn’t help. Apparently though it doesn’t matter because ThE cHiLdReN can still watch these things. This lunch took place right before the training session that I ended up getting sacked during. Frankly I can see her being the kind of person who doesn’t want someone like that working with us and the general manager going along with it because heck what else is he going to do? It also explains why I got such a poor and evasive explanation because it’s absurd and would be called out as such and fed back to the recruiter. It accounts for the comments I had apparently made along with her general demeanour toward me and why it came out of the blue. Tl:Dr - Former manager is a massive pearl clutcher and I accidentally offended her delicate and outdated sensibilities with my modern ways. Or alternatively a goon encounters a mumsnetter in the wild with predictable results. Should’ve asked her opinion on transgender people, bet that would’ve been a hoot. Apologies for the wall of text.

Honestly it sounds like you're well clear, she sounds like a goddamn nightmare to work with long term. Like, if your concern watching The Bodyguard is that we're teaching The Children bad morals because they might learn to gently caress consensually... I justcannot fathom how deeply you're missing the entire point of that show.

Jebus, I know not having a job sucks and all but can you imagine having to work with someone as insufferable as that for more than a week? I feel very lucky to have largely worked in public sector type jobs where having the darkest, blackest sense of humour is the primary coping mechanism. Also I have zero ability to manage my facial expressions and am 100% sure that I would also have been sacked for the look of utter disgust and bemusement I shot her way even if I managed to keep my mouth shut. Good luck getting yer old job back for now!

Sounds like whoever they get in to follow you will have the same problem. I don't suppose you managed to get any info on the person who last had your job (or was it a new job)? I worked somewhere once where one of the board directors had an extremely high turnover of incredibly good PAs who cost a fortune to recruit. IIRC he went through 5 or 6 in two years before it started to dawn on HR that maybe, just maybe, the director needed to go to reeducation camp on how to manage/delegate etc.

Gary Younge is legit one of the best assets the Guardian has and I don't know why they don't push him more. If you look back at his articles there's definitely stuff I disagree with but even then he makes his points so well compared to most of the op-ed slime. Honestly if you have a spare hour it's worth reading through his Guardian credits, he's that good mix of forward-thinking but not complacent or catastrophising but also grounded in what is actually provably happening right now. I've got his 2011 book in my read-this-soon pile and need to get on it. It just baffles me that mediocrities like Kettle and Malik get more column inches than him the Guardian is so loving determined to be poo poo it's mindblowing.

I replaced a much older woman who had been there for nearly three decades who left something like six months prior. I was the first new hire in over nine years and the youngest by far (I’m 32 and the next youngest person was over 40). Incidentally the recruitment process was going to take far longer than it did; I got shortlisted the start of July, first interview was mid July, and the second interview was mid August, and a final decision made late August. Originally the second interview was supposed to take place mid to late September, but the recruiter advised them that good people don’t wait around and would get snapped up by other companies if they take too long. Just goes to show the sheer amount of time and effort thrown away in less than three days. I was in the words of the company and the recruiter by far and away the best candidate, which shows the difficulty they’re going to have.

At work I have an excellent poker face and dialogue filter, but not good enough it seems. The other staff don’t share her sense of morality judging by the shows they watch, but they’ve probably learned when to keep quiet over the years. If I’d known this was going to happen I could’ve gone in singing The Red Flag.

Why on earth would a recruitment process take that long? I can't conceive of why it should be PLANNED that way! (I guess for CEOs of big multinationals yes it might, but not for regular jobs). Most odd. I think you've had a lucky escape. Our CEO caught me whistling the Red Flag in the lift lobby once - he grinned. And, most surprisingly, he backed me up when as building H&S rep - our offices were on the 11th-15th floors of a tower block - I was doing 'guided tours' of the fire escape route which was NOT obvious as it involved going through another floor lower down the building and then over the roof of an adjoining building, and some of the senior managers thought they were too important to go. He overhead them muttering about being too busy and demanded they get their coats and follow.
