“Hi, work here, we know there’s a lot going on, and we still haven’t fixed the building that flooded - no timescale on the floors getting put in again btw - and you’re already wrestling with trying to keep on top of a bunch of Pointless mandatory things we make you do, but by the way there’s Another One that you knew abour but we’re going to start chasing about without actually doing anything to meaningfully help with it, sounds like your responsibility byyyyye~”
‘Weeeh, Public Sector workers have it so easy-!’ types DNI, I will not be held responsible for what, justifiably, happens to you…
Usually IT workers that work private sector jobs that get them paid 300k a year work a 26 hour work week where they show up for 3 hours in office before announcing they’ll continue working from home (they will play video games at home instead) in my experience
In the Netherlands I’m quite sure, if you ask any working conditions and wage related questions on Dutch social media platforms you will see all of these people come crawling out of the woodwork
There’s apparently lots of jobs like this because they can all change job every couple of years with even better conditions every time!
the video of the riot in southport yesterday is horrific, yet the one glimmer of hope is the racist idiot approaching the barricade ahead of the rest of the mob and getting absolutely obliterated by bricks from his own side
if you watch it in slow motion he actually gets hit by two bricks at the same time in the first instance, one to the chest and one on the back of his head
the final brick going directly for the groin being the hat-trick that really polishes the whole thing off
The thing though is having watched the video, and having lived in that area most of my youth, I can tell you that the guy probably already has about 7-10 kids from various mothers.
My mum owned a shop in Southport for about… fourteen years. Right in the center. And she swears that the people there are utterly ridiculous and can be horrible. On the surface it seems a nice place, but when you get to know it, you know what’s so bad.
I did deal with a lot of people there, too. Not saying all are bad, but it can be terrible.
