Jaeluni Asjil posted:£38k GROSS pay is the 73rd percentile (£38200) of income amongst those who earn enough to pay taxas at 20/21 (latest figures which seem to be available). UK is such a backwards country. 50k isn't even that much money. In comparison to the average cost of houses and cars and cost of living, you're comfortable, but certainly not rich.

forkboy84 posted:Whoever told Jerry he should wrench 5+ minutes of the worlds least interesting observational comedy into every 20 minute episode killed it. Thing with Seinfeld is you have to judge it based on it's time. "What's the deal with airplane food?" Is clichéd poo poo as gently caress now. But in the early 90s a fresh(ish) new take

Kin posted:I'm in the 50k range and my wife on thy high 40s and it did feel like scrooge mcduck money to us too as I was in the same boat going from minimum wage shelf monkey to head of dept over the last 20 years. This is exactly what I was talking about. In the top 15% of earners, yet still only just getting by. You'd think being in the top 15% of earners in one of the richest countries on earth would put you comfortably into nice car, expressive clothes and eating out regularly territory, but instead it's 'can afford a mortgage and raise children'. A standard of living that a couple of generations ago was achievable by a single earner with no degree Country's hosed

smellmycheese posted:Are they going to have time to actually pass these facist laws? Because a May election is pretty much confirmed as far as I hear, and that’s going to come around very quickly after Xmas Why may? Surely sunak knows he's on his way out, why not hold on in power as long as possible?

Fire the guy that sucks and give the goon a pay rise. People should be supported when they have health problems, but there has to be a point where it's not sustainable anymore.

Tigey posted:. Exactly this. Reasonable adjustments have been made, there's been a lot of leeway given in terms of time off etc. But there comes a point where you have to accept he's not suitable for the job.

Sucks that this guy is struggling with anxiety. He should get therapy, or do steps to wellbeing, or a PIP assessment. Maybe move him into an admin position, and not one where he's client facing If you're a CSM and regularly flake out on your customers, that's gonna negatively impact the customer's relationship with the business. If enough customers get sick of the service they are receiving and leave, then everyone will be out of a job - not just the person with anxiety DreddyMatt fucked around with this message at 15:16 on Jan 9, 2024 |

Microplastics posted:Moneysavingexpert has some good pages on car insurance in general, always worth checking those out. Just a warning on this. One of their tips is that different job titles can result in lower premiums. However, if you keep putting in different quotes changing your job title, it can result in some companies refusing to quote you at all, as they don't like people trying to game the system. YMMV, but it's something I've seen people complain about in car forums

Mr Teatime posted:I’ll drop the boat chat after this if it’s winding people up or not thread appropriate, but it really isn’t as clear cut as simply being Israeli owned/operated or whatever. The ships I’m on are on, like the Hangzhou are being targeted because our run across the world used to include a single port call in Haifa. That’s it. We don’t go there anymore but it doesn’t matter, the ships are now considered targets. There’s been ships attacked that never called in Israel but because they carried cargo that later ended up in Israel, they are now targets. The links in a lot of cases are pretty tenuous at best. Do more boat chat

The Perfect Element posted:Feels like we're all just talking across each other here. The 'dissenting voice' is the poster whose literal irl friends and colleagues are on boats being attacked by the Houthis, and even then they're hardly screaming for vengeance. Maybe goons itt could just have the tiniest shred of empathy and cool their angry online jets for once. It's his fault for having a job

OwlFancier posted:I'm not really convinced that it will make any difference who I vote for or that having Labour win the election will do anybody any good. I don't really think they're better than the Tories, their only complaint about Tory policy seems to be that they could implement it better, or seems utterly performative in the "well this is terrible, no we wouldn't undo it" sense. Is that another tally for cock&balls? Or staying at home?

Darth Walrus posted:There are, of course, a few people in constituencies where there is no good (or even tolerable) candidate to vote for. Yay FPTP! I don't have a clue who my local candidate is, but I'm voting green in the hope that at the following election they look at the metrics, see a sharp increase in green votes and put forward some better policies to win those voters.

TACD posted:Yeah seriously anyone not wanting to vote for anyone please at least go spoil your ballot to actively vote for “None of the above” Fair play, it's a totally valid point. I just think long term it's not great If they look and see lots of spoiled votes, they can easily write them off as dissatisfied people who they can never reach. If you vote for a single issue party, like green, then at least they can see an increase in people looking for more environmental policies in the future. Like farage never won a seat, but managed to turn ukip into one of the most influencial parties of the last decade
