Translation - 'When we were briefly challenged about this we realised we had absolutely zero proof we'd tried to contact this person outside of the one email in the junk folder and swiftly realised it was a fuckup to even reject her in the first place.'

Pantsmaster Bill posted:I’m very confused by this, isn’t it normal for permanent workers to accrue holidays throughout the year too? Yes it is, which I guess means the article isn't clear enough on what's changing. I think it means a temp worker can't book holiday they haven't accrued yet. Ie you can't book a weeks holiday in Jan because you'd only accrue 2.4 days that month. You'd have to wait until March to take a week off. I'm not sure though.

Just as an FYI, we got word from our Freight partners that the big shipping companies are avoiding the Suez canal because of the attacks on cargo ships off Yemen. It wont affect anything in the run up to Christmas, but pretty much all goods east of the Med will get an extra 4 weeks travel time. I'd say it would affect clothing & electronics goods the most so we might get delays.

Pistol_Pete posted:Water companies are using up to 28% of their income from customers to make interest payments on their enormous debts, because of course they are: Saw ofgem are suggesting the price cap can go up £16 next April so energy companies can afford to write off the 2 billion in bad debt. I'm pretty sure if they didn't pay dividends they could do that without raising the price.

Wachter posted:High street landlords are also so desperate to find tenants to avoid responsibility for business rates that they're hardly going to turn down CRIME CANDY LTD You say that but theres been a shop on Poole High Street called Toast 2 Roast which has been empty for at least 12 years. Still got all the chairs and stuff inside, its like they locked the place up and just never came back.

Crust First posted:I have wondered if that place was ever open. There was also a traditional candy shop that opened, failed after a short time, and was replaced by a different traditional candy shop that also failed in short order. Plus an American themed diner that was basically never open with no posted hours that has, shockingly, closed as well. I remember Toast 2 Roast because I went in there when I first moved down to Poole. I went in the American Diner once too, again maybe 8 years ago. It changed hands a few times and was a milkshake place before going back to a diner. Its been closed since Tony and Guy moved next to it which is at least 5 years now.

I'm 4 weeks in to a new baby and yes the shock to the routine has probably been the worst thing for me. That and the sleep loss. The days of having 3-4 hours to do 'whatever' no longer exist. I came home from work last night and just took the baby until we went to bed, and then i got up at 4am and had the baby until 9.

Wachter posted:I'm sure the guy has genuine problems but this is a totally rancid way to behave towards anyone, let alone a colleague who's been keeping him afloat for a year. If anything him now making a lovely complaint about you will often be the final nail in him getting the boot as management will now be terrified you walk off to another company leaving them with the person that just never comes in as their only trained resource. It sounds like he came back to a 'we're going to do something about this' chat with HR and was reaching for things to fling at them to try and get out of it. 'My colleagues make it impossible to come to work' etc. It wont fly.

Marmaduke! posted:Trainchat: I'm looking up some slightly tricky train tickets for a friend to go home on Sunday, found some decentish tickets and then realised other friends are driving past the first connection point so they could drop her off and cut out some of the train journey. For taking this shorter journey, the price increases £13. If its a return you can break the journey at any point on the way back and the ticket is still valid. So yes you could get on a stop later than planned without penalty.

Bobby Deluxe posted:From what I can tell reading around, you need to go to court with all of that evidence to get the dog back, you can't use it to stop the impounding in the first place. And if they run out of space in the kennels before it goes to trial, they just kill the dog anyway. This is not what happens as routine procedure. This is what happens when you sign paperwork when the police seize your dog to 'hand' them over to the Police. You are under no obligation to do this, they cannot force you but they will often pressure you to do it. As soon as the paperwork is signed you effectively give the dog to the state. I recommend you read this link: https://wheldonlaw.co.uk/my-dog-has-been-seized-by-the-police-what-should-i-do/ If you do not sign the paperwork your dog will not be destroyed (Unless it causes serious injury or shows high level of aggression to the vets/dog handlers as to be unsafe).

Tigey posted:That's speculation. Unless you have access to their internal financial processes? Its not up to Tesco how long they hold onto the money for. If as has been reported they've had a systems outage and the transactions have been cancelled its entirely in the hands of the card payment system they use. Tesco more than likely operate an automated order process so if the orders get cancelled it sends an automated request to their merchant service to refund that transaction. Depending on what system it is, and what stage the payment was in when the cancellation request went through it can take anywhere from 24 hours to 5 days. If a transaction gets lost it can take up to a month for the banks to sort it out between themselves as well. If your order was placed on Friday evening and cancelled Saturday morning the funds will probably be back in your account already. The money wont have left your account and will be in that 'pending' state. The card system has put a temporary hold on it until the card payment system confirms the transaction and then it comes across. If it gets cancelled now your bank will just release the funds back into the available pot straight away. Again depending on what payment system they use this could be fine for orders placed up to Wednesday afternoon. Worldpay only process transactions 48-72 hours after they've been placed for example. I would think this would account for most of the orders. Orders before Wednesday will have had the funds transferred, this is where it can take 3-5 days to come back over. From Tescos point of view they will have already returned the customers money, and for the majority never would have had it themselves to give back. They could give out some vouchers as an apology for the inconvenience but im not sure what they could do to identify and help anyone in dire need quicker than the money will get returned to their account anyway?

Wolfsbane posted:This is how Ocado works. It doesn't seem to cause any problems, but maybe they have magic technology that just isn't available to Tesco. Huh, I didnt think any of the supermarkets still did payment on delivery anymore. Most of them stopped charging cards on the day goods were picked/despatched out years ago.

NotJustANumber99 posted:Lol, so if this: Probably? I would think certainly by Tuesday morning if the card company needs to have someone manually approve transactions going back. There will still be edge cases though. I once had a customer have their money effectively vanish for 3 weeks because their bank didn't allocate the money back to them correctly. I had to give them the transaction ids so they could locate it. But this refund was like 2 months after they paid for the goods.

NotJustANumber99 posted:PPE can also be a pain in the arse and doesn't even work anyway it's just for someone to make some extra money off a dodgy contract. The rules are written by dweebs that never did a day's work in their life. And health and safety is a job creation scheme. To be fair the amount of PPE you need to wear to remove certain types of asbestos indoors is bonkers. Cant imagine ever wanting to do that as an actual job. I took down a garage roof in June and it felt like I lost a stone of just pure sweat wearing the suit,mask and gloves. Also a bit of good news, energy prices are predicted to fall 16% in April.

Darth Walrus posted:The amusing thing about 'ninja swords' is that, like most pieces of ninja lore, they started out as theatre props. Real ninjas did exist, but they either used simple peasant weapons or the standard military weapons of the samurai clans (because the most prominent ninja organisations literally were just samurai clans who specialised in asymmetrical warfare and sold their services to any interested warlords). Easily-identifiable specialist equipment like their own special swords would go against the whole point of having anonymous spies and saboteurs. Ninjato, the straight shortswords associated with ninjas in more modern works, appear to have been completely fictional, and based on misdrawings of samurai wakizashi (the shortswords the samurai caste used as sidearms, which were both practical and readily-available for real ninjas). I love stuff like this.

By the point the election comes around Kiers utter nothing personality and consistent flip flops will have been really weaponised against him. I think they'll still win, but we'll have considerably more independents/green/lib dems and the Tories wont lose as much. And I would add to be very careful with what you say about Plymouth Brethren online. They are notoriously litigous, particularly the Hales.
