Weirdly not being invited seems to have been the best outcome for him. I think at this point, none of us would blame him for being done with the whole shooting match.

Ed Miliband used to come to my house to see if he could talk to my dad because me dad was/is idk a member of the Labour party. No matter how many times we told him "dad's at work", he still thought 1pm on a weekday would be a good time to catch him

Private Speech posted:I'm curious if I should have one if I watch TV for genuine technical reasons during WFH for a major broadcaster - I expect they definitely have a business license and nobody said anything (&they also offer tv/isp to us for free, which I don't use because I don't want them looking at my Internet use) but it does make me a bit nervous. Maybe I should ask, but not sure who. I used to work for the Beeb, and in my contract it stipulated I'd be sacked if caught watching TV at home without a TV license This was way before WFH like now was possible though... (I can probably guess who you work for but I'll keep it out of the thread)

quote:During her inaugural address to departmental staff last Wednesday, Suella Braverman said a top priority would be stopping all Channel crossings. She has also asked all staff to watch “trashy TV” to help their “mental wellbeing”, a source said, specifically citing Channel 4’s Married at First Sight and First Dates as well as Love Island. hmm seems we've tried all the rough and tumble options except sharks, so I guess sharks it is

I thought Home Sec was supposed to turn you into a psychopath, not that you should start out as one. The actual best antidote for work-related stress is reducing work-related stress, such as not being forced to implement cruel and unnecessary policies.

WhatEvil posted:So like, the bank holiday is gonna be taken out of your standard yearly holiday allowance, right? So it's not an "extra day off" it's just "now you have one less day of holiday you can take when you want", right? Check your employment contract. Mine has the phrasing "x days annual leave per year, plus bank holidays" so while I won't know until I go into work on Monday I'm expecting to get that day as extra holiday, since they made it a real bank holiday. Whereas I could imagine a contract which didn't mention bank holidays at all, or had phrasing like "x days annual leave per year, which includes y bank holidays" would be poo poo outta luck.

Yeah, my contract (part-time) is (x days holiday + y days bank holidays)x hours on contract / 37.5 (ie we don't get whole bank holiday days off just pro-rata and as our normal everyone in the office day is a Monday and WFH the rest of the week, mostly we work the bank holidays and take our leave on days to suit us not some arbitrary former religious holidays).

My experience is that you don't need a TV licence for anything because you can throw any post from Darlington straight in the bin and shout gently caress off through the letter box at the inspector

So bank holidays. I work an hourly wage job (chef). We are generally open bank holidays, but always thought that they were taken into account in the amount of holiday hours I accrue? So every 8.8 or whatever hours I work I get 1 hour payed holiday? Surely an extra one changes this equation slightly? So 28 days a year is now 29, and as a percentage of a year at 9-5 that would have changed slightly? Edit: think it's 12.07 %. But an extra day will throw that off Ben Soosneb fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Sep 11, 2022 |

All this bullshit on the BBC tells me that she came up here to die in Scotland just so that it would lead to the events forcing it to look like we give a gently caress. Astute viewers will notice that most of the crowds are journalists or tourists. Edit: figuratively dragging her corpse down the motorway making it seem like it's a big city to city tour when it's actually just the main road from Balmoral to Edinburgh. Thank gently caress I live on the southern side of Edinburgh and don't have to deal with the faff this'll cause on the motorway. Kin fucked around with this message at 08:16 on Sep 11, 2022 |

We are generally open bank holidays, but always thought that they were taken into account in the amount of holiday hours I accrue? It depends on the precise wording of your employment contract. Some are flexible if bank holidays change (most teachers or civil servants will have that) while others assume 8, or just don't mention them at all and give a total number of annual holidays. My contract says 20 days plus 8 bank holidays, so guess I'm losing a day off for childcare :/

Convex posted:Fair way to own it. Mistakes happen Nah, gently caress that. loving up on live it requires that you apologise on live TV at the same time slot. You can't make poo poo up and then apologise on twitter where nobody will see it and it won't get covered. Newspapers do this poo poo all the time. Massive front page lie and then an apology in tomorrow' newspaper in font 3 at the bottom of page 19.
