    Opinion: Started job but can’t afford to travel to office?

    She must have known the jig was up, perhaps some time in advance and potentially sorted something else out? These people tend to bounce around :p

    Payraise.. how much do you expect? how much did you get?

    Surprised yet delighted to have confirmed a 10% pay rise!

    Does anyone else struggle day by day, week by week with work?

    The weather / time of year certainly doesn't help in my experience. Happiness in a job is of course another big thing, the job I am in now is the least I've felt the way you are describing but the cold/dark mornings definitely made it harder and I started leaving the house later than I used to...

    Payraise.. how much do you expect? how much did you get?

    Got 5% last year but can't see us getting anything this year, I work in IT in the Events industry. Constantly being told about how running costs are going up etc.

    How much has your council tax gone up this year?

    Incredible :D It's probably in your council leaders garden at this point.

    That ball from De Bruyne is delicious, if I could have the attributes of any current player I think it would be him :cry: in reality of course the only thing I come close to is his recent injury record.

    Opinion: Started job but can’t afford to travel to office?

    I know it's a bit of a tangent but since reading about over employment on this thread I am getting very cynical about certain members of staff where I work:cry:. I'd say there's at least one or two that I'd put at 90% chance of doing this, even if it's just gigs on fiverr on the side. Their...

    Sfp+ ports on switches?

    Yes some switches have what can be called by some vendors "dual personality" which means you can use a cat5 or a fibre and that counts as one port. Pretty sure the Unifi will be 24 rj45 and 2 sfp making 26 in total.

    Opinion: Started job but can’t afford to travel to office?

    Newbie has crossed the line now (if not before), undoubtedly! Some resistance may need to be offered though in terms of simply being told that they can't do these things. They have been given an inch but taken a mile. Is your OH registering these concerns with her own boss etc? Am sure HR are...

    Opinion: Started job but can’t afford to travel to office?

    Not a lot has been said about this employees ability to do the work set etc, this is surely the biggest question, in the first instance I'd have given the benefit of the doubt and let them somewhat dictate their working location and see how they get on. A lot of places operate on a give/take...

    service charges in restaurants

    Yeah, if there is a service charge I'm very unlikely to leave more on top of that. It's good in a way cos it gets rid of the awkwardness when using a card machine. More than happy to tip for a good meal / experience. I tip 95% of the time really.

    RIP Trevor Francis

    Rotten day yesterday to be a Forest or Sheff Weds fan, RIP both. Bart Williams' goal against Reading for us was the first time I cried tears of joy.

    solo holiday for the first time.

    Solo holidays/trips can be great, I found that I had to set a bit of itinerary for the day else I was at risk of wasting it, even if said itinerary just has you down as on the beach for 8 hours!

    Who's got the oldest PSU?

    Still using a Corsair AX850 from 2011 in my main machine with a 3090. I had a Jeantech thing knocking round still getting occasional use until lately, never heard of them before or since. It was blue! Think I got it from the Computer repair shop I did work experience with in 2006, it is surely a...

    BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion

    Have been warned by the purists about flat cables but never really had any issue myself with them, they can be a lot handier.

    Network cable not working

    It does just sound like the cable to me, best of luck!

    This Liverpool team really is some way below the team they have been in recent times, the chances they concede!

    best home delivery company?

    Well the thread got weird fast but I'd say Ocado or maybe Morrisons.
