I can't get the first opportunity though. It's a fucking dumb situation. I'm too good for the bad shit and too bad for the good shit. It's absolutely absurd.
Sign me to a non-compete if it's that much of an issue.

That just boils down to companies despising recruiting.ore than anything else on Earth..I've never seen the money side of it, is that why? Or is it just because people hate interviewing?
The amount of shit cunts I've seen get waved through their probation because people would rather suffer an utter shitheap of an employee than do more recruitment blows my mind.
Keep plugging away and eventually the ball falls to you.
It's the whole thing. The cost of advertising a position, time for interviews, comparing interviews according to the bullshit grading criteria, background and reference checking, waiting for the successful candidates notice period, setting up new log in details, freeing up staff for training, etc. It must be a pain in the arse.Originally Posted by Ian

I think he wants to earn some actual money.
Any money > no money
Also ‘some money for very little work’ > ‘lots of money for lots of work’
I sent six email requests on Friday and classed it as a productive day.

He's working in a pub. He's already making Civil Service money.
After 3 weeks off I cannot bear the thought of being back at work on Monday.
I’m pretty lucky then, because I went back last Monday and I was actually quite looking forward to getting back to it.
Both for the routine and the fact that I don’t actually hate my job.
Yeah, first day back tomorrow since 16th December. Sleeping pattern in the mud.After 3 weeks off I cannot bear the thought of being back at work on Monday.
My work has decided to add photos of staff members to Teams / Outlook so you can see what the person you are talking to looks like. Or, atleast, that's the theory. In reality, you can see what the men look like. For the women (especially the under 50's) you get a heavily filtered version of who you are talking to. Most of them are genuinely unrecognisable.
I'm tempted to raise it as a concern just to watch the meltdown.
Wrong approach - the correct idea is to use their weapons against them. Make yourself look like an glow-in-the-dark satsuma or some horrific Legion Of Doom maniac
Just use your avatar, Spikey.
I genuinely do not understand the widespread use of filters, they look absolutely dreadful.
Are we talking, like, instagram style filters? Sepia tone or what have you? Explain to an out of touch cunt.
I assumed it was more the ones that slim your face/smooth out your skin/whiten your teeth etc.
There's a company wide meeting later today (not that we're a particularly big company) that I assumed was about us getting our first customer signed (it's been in the pipeline for weeks now) but just been told by my manager here that it's because the CTO in the US is leaving. Even better news. He's a pain in our arse. That's made my week already.
Company wide meetings are always a hoot.
We were all coerced into joining our last one (remotely) with the promise of being entered into a draw for a Ford Mustang E. The CEO then dialled the winner live on air and was told, via a Czech-German translator, to fuck off because it's obviously a spam call. Nobody gives away free cars.
There only are about 16 of us tbf. And four of those are contractors.
But still, I'm delighted.
What Boydy said. Flaw removal. Perfect teeth, thinner face, no second (third or fourth) chins, etc.
I might get them to restore my hairline actually. Brb.
The sort of shit lots of people use on dating apps.
I didn't even know that sort of thing existed. Pathetic.
Can we not just use chatGPT to generate AI images of what perfect employees look like in our new dystopia.
The Arab's brother - who does our IT - turned up today looking about 4 stone lighter than he was before Christmas. Turns out he has had an operation to remove most of his stomach in order to stop his 'larger than life' proportions (he is/was about 6 foot 5 and massive) from destroying his back and leaving him paralysed. He can now only eat liquids or Huel, until about a couple of months' time when he says he might be able to eat half a cheeseburger, and that's the most he will ever be able to eat again.
Anyway, the main discovery from this event was that our company's MD believed that humans have two stomachs. 'What about your other stomach?' he said, in all innocence. 'Can't the food go in there?'
And they’re an MD.
It’s great running my own meetings now rather than just supporting someone else. What would previously have taken at least 40 minutes, and often upto the full allocated hour, is now done in 15 and I’ve 45 minutes to do some actual work.

okay this post might be the one to make me do a full Manc style heel turn
Is it some sort of clumsy insult, calling him a cow?
Someone I went to school with went to Turkey to get a gastric band put in. He's lost an absolute fuck tonne of weight, but his occasional dinner photos are depressing beyond words. Here we have mash potato and carrot.
They have four stomachs.
I'm sure I saw on QI that one of our pointless organs (possibly the Appendix) is technically stomach, it's just shrunken and unused because it's a throwback to when we ate nothing but leaves.
I think the most likely explanation is that he'd confused it with intestines, of which we have small and large.
That's your dick m8

I get useless shit like that all the time. I end up always reading my sent email back to myself to see if I actually made sense or not. Always the same conclusion: people are idiots.
I am finding increasingly that people just can't deal with more than one query at once.
"I haven't heard from you since we last spoke in November. Has the noise from your neighbour improved? Have you been recording the time and dates of disturbances as I requested? With regards to your repair, I can see that this was due to be completed yesterday. Is everything OK now?"
"Hi, he had music on last night."
I blame WhatsApp.
There's a consultant who, whenever I email them about a patient, will reply about a completely different patient and answering a completely different question.
I start all my emails about patients with their name, hospital number and date of birth.
Just had a recruiter pitch me on a job that requires a security clearance. On a scale of 1-10 how evil are Boeing?
Who cares if they’re gonna pay you?
I'm a twit
At 105k a year for 40 hours a week. I'd require like a 14.
You ain't Will Hunting, son.
Worry about that if you actually get the job.
This is the worst humble brag I've ever seen.
You people are so miserable. If a ray of light came through your window, you'd shut the curtains.
You are not a ray of light. More like a tsunami of shit.
Jk we all love you.
Can't believe you'd give up the pint game for Boeing.
Ray of light.
Meet shutting curtains.
Not really sure what you expect, phonics. You seem to come here and post something then have a bit of a strop when we don't all fall over ourselves to suck you off these days.
But:
1. A recruiter contacted you about the job, it's still far from certain so my advice on not worrying about it until you get the job holds as a recruiter contacting you about a job doesn't mean much.
2. You had a good career before and you now seem to be languishing in some sketchy pub after moving to the UK again. I'd take whatever to get back into your field before that gap in your CV gets big enough to be a concern for potential employers. Boeing are probably evil but if you get offered the job, I'd take it and then look for something else once you've been there a while if you find it corrodes your soul too much.
I’m just lightheartedly posting. I really don’t mind. Think what you want. As I said to Baz it could be a 14 and you act like I’ve said no to the job.
