Doing another trip this week. Only a two-dayer but suffice to say the overnight venue is the Premier Inn in Worksop, this is about as glamorous as it gets.
A colleague has died. :arry:
Sidekick?
Unexpectedly?
Propositioned?
Some bloke who's not in my team but I work closely with. Probably under 50.
Wife went for a walk with their kids, he wasn't feeling upto it. Came home and he's dead in bed.
Vaxxed?
Had some great fun with one of those shite recruiters who just clicks through LinkedIn.
I got an email at work from a guy offering to help me recruit for my department, the usual bollocks. About a day later I got an email from the same guy on my personal email saying I'm a good candidate for his specialty and he would help me find a better job. Sent him a modified CV for a bit of a laugh to see what come of it. Just now he's emailed my work email saying he's got an ideal candidate and attached the CV as his evidence.
These cunts don't even check the name do they? :D
Ask him to arrange an interview.

That’s glorious. Keep going until he figures it out.
I got a linked in mail for a senior international tax role (I do domestic US tax - I am already a senior) at my own company. From our own recruiting team. Summed up why we never got candidates for our entry level roles.
100% keep it going. Hopefully it's the same cunt that tried to strong arm me into an hour and 45 minute commute each way after the recruiter offered me the job but said I'd have to work from Biggin fucking Hill for 6 months.
"It's only an hour, I'm looking on Google Maps right now!"
I've just done it mate... during rush hour it took an hour and 45 mi...
"I really think you'll regret passing up this opportunity"
Fucking snakes.
Emailed back expressing my interest so let's see how this goes. :D
Bear in mind that I've not explicitly told this guy (from my work email) that there's a job opening. He cold emailed me and I basically said "let's have a look at what you've got then" in response.
Can you hire yourself and double your salary?
I'm definitely going to ask for more money than I'm on.
Obviously if this gets as far as HR they will lol it off as there's not actually a job available, especially when I indirectly give myself a pay rise.
:lol:
Is it wise to be publishing that sort of information online?
Recruitment agents really are the epitome of money for old rope.
The recruiter has messaged my work email asking for a job description etc. because his candidate is ready to have an interview and discuss terms. Lol.
I can do a fake one to keep this going, right? Or will I get a slapped wrist from HR if it came to their attention?
However, minor downside to this. I accidentally left my phone number in my email signature when replying and now he's ringing the shit out of me.
Is he ringing candidate you or hiring manager you?
Put your numbers in the email signature of the other one and see if he notices.
Hiring manager. I think he's desperate to tell me what a great candidate he's got.Quote:

The GMB has narrowly lost its historic bid for union recognition at the Amazon warehouse in Coventry.
Some 49.5% of workers balloted voted in favour, while 50.5% voted against. The union needed a majority to vote in favour.
If the GMB had won it would have been the first time Amazon recognised a union in the UK.
The online giant would have been forced to negotiate with workers on issues such as pay and conditions.
???
I would assume some kind of bribery on the behalf of Amazon there.
Don't they just randomly hire loads of people before those votes so the 50% threshold is much harder to get to?
I'm in a place very similar and yes. Usually an influx of agency, possibly even incentivised to vote it down.
RIP those who were outspoken against the company in the lead up to this hoping for some union representation on the back of it.
I've never been involved in such things, but if everyone who works there is unhappy then I've genuinely no idea how they've won that vote.
They know that big Jeff is a good man and has their best interests at heart.
They were threatened with no pay rises etc if it passed apparently. My wife has gone from a job where people scream and shout and bully people to a big corporate unionised job and she can't believe it, she was lolling the other day about everyone being worried about some notoriously stern woman that works there.
Just logged back in to LinkedIn and the first post was a recruitment bro mocking candidates asking for too much money and the video in the post was a guy running across a road getting hit by a bike.
I set up a Linkedin account in the autumn when we were all going to be fired but then actually promoted, I have trouble believing anyone on there making the promoted posts is a real person.
Broke up for the summer hols today but my own kids are in until Wednesday. Best bit of the holiday.
Job ad is up:

Embrace DIFFERENCE?
Definitely going to a soft arse like Potter or Howe then.
Rushing the process before Yev can get his Pro License. :nono:
Did Southagte have any of the non-bullshit qualities when he took over?
Howe ‘ruled himself out’ already.
I'm really hoping the wording in that job spec paves the way for Klopp, or at least the intention to land him.
Start date March 2025 would be the only thing that might get close to achieving this.Quote:

I know, I'm doing this in hindsight but it's that hindsight that informs the FA's next pick.
What sort of rinky-dink shit is that? How many joke applications is some poor administrator going to have to waste their time deleting?
As if anyone who just applies like that would even be considered. It probably all goes straight to the lol bin.
Tell me about a time when . . .
Any serious candidate walks out of the room. Graham Potter remains, jubilant in the waiting room.
They're probably hoping Klopp will send his CV in without them having to suffer the social awkwardness of ringing him up.
Do we think Klopp would be a good fit to international football? Seems more like a manager that grows with his squad.
