JeremoudCorbynejad posted:Camrath is going to release a new, gold-flecked fudge I already do one (gilded rose). No idea if this will even apply to me or not- tbh I have no clue as to my tax situation, which is bizarrely complicated and handled entirely by a family member who’s a terrifyingly good accountant. Should probably fix that, but every time I ask him to explain things my eyes cloud over and I start tasting blood.

Clapton always. Morrisseys bigotry never seemed sincere, just smart arse devil's advocate nonsense. Clapton is a genuine 'send em all back' racist.

Hmm. One of the people on my team is 'no longer with the company'' as of this morning. Was with us normal as anything on yesterday's standup. We're still mostly virtual so it's not like he could have come in and taken a dump on the CEO's desk. NGL curious what he did!

Who was saying about Plusnet before? I've been with them a while, this is the second time I've renewed my broadband contract and they've jacked the price up by mistake, exactly as they did a year back too. Three did it as well... why can't these companies just do this really simple thing without fooking it up?

Was fine for a while until 5 or so years ago when they got brought into the BT consumer division.

TACD posted:Why wouldn't they chance their arm at overcharging when there's no penalty for being caught? Weird that they never drop the price by mistake You say that, but Three are crediting my account by £16 a month instead of debiting it £22 a month! Since I changed contract last October! And when the May price rise hit, they increased the credit to my account by the requisite %! I will sort it out, but had other things to clear out the way first to make sure I have alternative internet facilities available and also make sure my mifi is fully cancelled before I do lest they cock it up (such is my faith in the ability of customer services of big organisations companies not to cock things up)

A 'Head of' at my work, who again was in meetings etc as normal this week, has just suddenly left with no notice and apparently is 'taking time to consider their future'. I guess in all likelihood in both cases it could be some kind of mental health crisis, so we shouldn't speculate and gossip. Hard not to, though.

In my experience its usually because something's been noticed about their work and they've been quietly told they should consider jumping before they're pushed.

And when the May price rise hit, they increased the credit to my account by the requisite %! I bet there’s an absolutely horrific behind–the–scenes story to your scenario though. Like, I’m assuming you’re paying via Direct Debit, and so I’m also assuming that this is happening because somebody added a - to the front of your DD amount, which 1) I didn’t know you could credit accounts that way and 2) how did that happen? Did somebody fat-finger the amount (implying they’re all being done manually, oh god) or do you have a hyphenated name that got badly mangled at their end? gah

The Perfect Element posted:A 'Head of' at my work, who again was in meetings etc as normal this week, has just suddenly left with no notice and apparently is 'taking time to consider their future'. Only time I’ve ever seen someone get pushed out the door unceremoniously like that was when a sales colleague who was already on thin ice for bad decisions got angry with a customer who was closing too slowly, and started yelling first at them and then at the department head. Otherwise it’s always been “congratulations, now you’re on a Performance Improvement Plan.” Theoretically could also be something wild like getting caught stealing trade secrets / spending company money without authorisation / watching porn at work. But instant dismissal is pretty risky for the company and pretty rare. And anyone leaving voluntarily usually has to give notice so it’s not that sudden. E: Oh I forgot one, the general counsel of a company was sacked effective immediately because (as he tells it) the CEO ordered him to falsify records and he said no.

People ghosting jobs is apparently becoming more common in the last few years, either after being there for awhile and so seeming entrenched but then just deciding to jack it in one day or if they've been very recently hired, 2-3 months in they just stop showing up.

There was a guy at my work who just left his phone and ID card on his desk one Friday and vanished. His family called the company because they didn't know where he was, he hadn't been in contact with anyone, and frankly after a week or two we thought he'd probably offed himself. A couple months later the police tracked him down through his bank account withdrawing money from an ATM somewhere in France, and since he was apparently still alive and it is perfectly legal to leave your entire life behind and move abroad without telling anyone that was the last we heard of it. We only even heard that much because the family wanted his nearest colleagues to know.

Depending on the business, and how high up the employee is, if they found another job at a competitor they can be immediately placed on gardening leave to stop them gaining any more knowledge of the workings of the company. I’ve seen this happen several times in my company and with my clients.
