Bobstar posted:And presumably "not nominating managers for an award to show your displeasure" works just as well as not voting, likewise? I think the scheme was quietly wound down after a year, unsurprisingly. Now we get regular management surveys to vote in, but the questions are always phrased so that the answers reflect on the team, so any negative responses make the one answering the question look bad, or else they ask questions that they know they'll get good answers for (e.g. as a white man in an all-white and English team, why yes, there are no issues with managing people from other ethnic groups in my team!).

My dehumidifier makes about 8l a day of theoretically potable (though I'd want to zap it with UVC first) water from our wet rear end air, so as long as there's electricity I'm water safe [grid collapsing sounds intensify]. e: gh0stpinballa posted:lol at ped enabler and apartheid profiteer hodge being promoted as a voice of wisdom in the guardian

10 yr old Ardbeg for me please. Pretty sure my company doesn't do gifts, cos we're small and the head honcho will use Covid as an excuse. I used to love Christmas time at the plc I worked at previously though. All the corporate gifts get pooled into the Christmas raffle, and there's enough booze and chocolate that virtually all of the 1000+ people in our office got a bottle of wine at the very least.

I have to assume the electricity will collapse before the running water, right? All this for me is a prelude to buying a generator and solar storage. On the Xmas gift list, I have the Joseph Joseph nesting bowls and they're pretty satisfying tbh. But whiskey brings its own sense of enormous well-being

I'd get one of the kitchen things personally, food processor or panini press or those precision Shovel looks good too tho. e: ^^^ Yes I assume electricity and gas will collapse before water, but if the electricity supply is really hosed then there could start to be water interruptions too, and fuel disruptions which is bad news for most generators.

My work R and R scheme gives out vouchers of £25 to £200. As far as I know it basically wasn't used pre pandemic, there was a big push in May/June as our offices opened up, including appointing 'champions' to promote the scheme and regular updates on how much was being handed out. I got £300 total for developing new covid secure procedures and being first back in to office. Last update was in July, about £200 total was handed out across about 7 offices and 200+ employees.

I'm sure you can make your own pointy spade out of a flat spade with an angle grinder. Also where are you digging that you need a special pointy spade?

It's the UK, water supply isn't going to be an issue anytime soon. I think there's some work on connecting up regional water systems so they can redistribute at need to London/SE but that's about it.

(An aside - I feel like this genre of joke will age poorly as this kind of thing becomes more real. It's basically an eco-fash premise in the first place. But in this case, I am encouraging you to start your cannibal rampage from the highest income bracket and work your way down)

My workplace signed up for a decent discount/cashback website, which has been infinitely more useful than occasional £20 vouchers. If I wait a month or two for stock to stabilise then I should be able to get 8-10% back on a PS5. There's also an employee portal where you can give people 'high fives' for a job well done; I have never been on that website and did in fact forget the login long, long ago.
