    Who gives a fuck if they're paying you? Not that an email from a recruiter means all that much anyway, they've sent the same one to hundreds.

    I would give Boeing a 7 but they seem more negligent than evil.

    I got my first ever job offer on LinkedIn today. The bird said it’s mine if I want it. Local to me, £50k + “excellent benefits” + car. Seems a decent package to offer without an interview. It’s not even in my specialty.

    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.

    She's messaged me again. We've got plenty of mutual connections including one of my good mates and she's local so someone I know must know her game.

    Someone at work doesn’t exist. I swear she’s AI. So much so I made an AI video of someone claiming to be her and how much they were looking forward to the staff night out at the end of the month. I shared this with 3 people. If it “gets out” I’m surely done for.

    Today we had 'Lloyd' from Jamaica in the office, in full rasta hat and not using phone or email or disclosing his surname, on a complete cold visit trying to get discounts on gear for the tractors on his uncle's peanut farm. I didn't get saddled with him thank god, but the guy who did had to sit there while Lloyd put his uncle on speakerphone in full patois, and rather than translating it just kept saying 'Y'heeeaar th'maaan'.

    Naturally, the Arab bowled in ultra-confident and asked him if he liked reggae. Lloyd didn't like reggae but he did tell the Arab about Jamaica, breaking it down into 'd'peeeaanut farms' and 'd'paaaarty place', which turned out to be Montego Bay. Then they started arguing about whether Kingston or Baghdad was home to the world's best smoked fish.

    I got this job from an agency ffs.

    Also had a major thing I wanted/needed to do *this year*, and we might’ve just gone and done it on day 2. If it works, I’m coasting the rest of the year.
    Worked a charm. Added about 7.5% capacity to the plant in the short term.

    Now I actually feel paid appropriately by the company and don’t really worry about a “career” I actually quite enjoy work.

    Had my first week of 3 office working days and it is completely unnecessary. On the plus side, more chips.

    Has anyone on here completely changed employment type? I'm looking for a new job, but the idea of stepping into yet another office / wfh job is knocking me sick.

    Ideally I'd like to do a "propper" job, on a building site or digging up roads, but I have zero experience and a family, so the likely entry level wage would make that difficult.

    Anyone know of any courses etc. That could run alongside full-time work and possibly lead straight into a decent paying manual job?

    Alternatively, oi @Foe, can you get me a cushy Oil job?

    Happy Blue Monday.

    I thought about electrician/plumber courses during past meltdowns as I hear they get paid solid figures but never did look into it. I assume you're still looking at a solid couple years of training and work exp, no?

    I imagine so unfortunately. Which leaves the question of living off savings until I start earning more, but that's a bit high risk considering I have no idea how long that's likely to take.

    There's loads of major infrastructure jobs going on in and around London at the moment, we've had to bump wages up to stop men leaving. Have a look at some of those (HS2, Crossrail, Tideway etc etc), they'll all have tons of jobs going. Depending on your office experience you might be able to get in at a decent level (basically there's more jobs than qualified men right now). It's always paid well but the shift patterns can be a twat if you're permanently on site. It might be not for you at all so I might be pissing into the wind but it's one of those industries where once you're in and willing, you're in for life. Some companies are so desperate at the moment that they'll even train you up and pay for the tickets.
