    Got it, so get to keep my role going into next year. Only drawback is it's another fixed term, so may have to look elsewhere for a more permanent step up.

    I can't even fathom the existence of a double keg of Carling. Where is the demand coming from? Who drinks that shite?

    Most people? I imagine it’s England’s most popular beer.

    How? I don't think I know anyone who drinks it. It's usually Stella or even Fosters over that.

    Stella isn’t in the same bracket, it’s a bit more pricey (and palatable). My local dive sells both Fosters and Carling (I think Carling is 10p more expensive) and still Carling is by far the most popular.

    Carling is 2.70. Stella is 3.80.

    I will happily drink carling following the demise of carling premium and often take shit for doing so. Generally from people holding multicoloured cans or who feel no embarrassment asking for a pint garden of iniquity or some other such shite.

    A landlord friend who ran the wankiest camra freehouse (also best pub) on the island always used to keep Carling on tap and said it outsold everything hands down.

    I think there's just a lot of demand for generic lager. I never find Carling to really be much different to most tap lagers. I can see a time for it although I don't have lager all that often (mostly as I go to the pub a lot more in the winter).

    I think canned Carling and Fosters are infinitely worse than their draft version which colours people's opinions of it. Carling isn't great but it's not Skol.

    Admittedly, I have only ever had the canned variety. Warm too. That may colour my view slightly.

    The only other sales guy in my team isn't going in to the office again after being shouted at (shit you not) at his weekly 121 performance plan review in which the HR person/PA takes notes.

    Neither of us have done any work this week at all; him through anger and dismay and me through...well I've no idea what I'm doing.

    So it's looking likely it'll just be me very shortly. And also they're not letting me take my Dublin holiday that I've already booked due to a company wide contract/project nobody told me about. I'm going regardless, obv.

    Hahaha they sent out a letter on my behalf to 91 companies within a 60 mile radius of my house and they put the wrong stamp on so people are having to pay to receive the letter.

    Already had one official complaint so far...

    My wife's employer originally told people they couldn't have thursday as a bank holiday as it was outside of their contracted leave, but people could request it as a holiday if they wanted to use their holiday allowance. Today they have told the admin department they are off thursday whether they like it or not, burn a holiday or take it unpaid. This company turned over Ł100m last year

    What companies like that don't appreciate, is that the morale lost when they act like that will go on to cost them more than just honouring the day would have.

    Yep, I worked for one of them firms and it was like it for years. Everyone time they did something semi-decent they would ruin it at the end by implementing five other ridiculous changes that everyone hated.

    Currently looking to move jobs. I've found two jobs which I'd much prefer to my current role. One is a fair bit better and the other is a 10/10 dream-level job. Let's call them 'better job' and 'dream job'. I could realistically be offered either/both of them.

    If I apply for both and am successful, I'll most likely get offered the better job about a week before I even interview for the dream job. If I do that, and accept the better job but then ring them back to cancel my acceptance if I get offered the dream job, am I complete arsehole?

    Both jobs are better than my current role which I really need to leave, so I want to apply for both to give myself the best chance possible of getting one of them. The better job starts in September so I'm hoping they'd have time to find someone else without too much issue.

    I feel I should be cynical and go for both and just have that uncomfortable conversation with the better job if it comes to it, but I'm curious to hear people's thoughts on it.

    Would a company still hire you if some HR cretins decided a few days later to change their minds and promote someone instead ? Like fuck they would, so treat companies with the same contempt they'd treat you with. Go for both and if you manage to get both then take what suits you best.

    I've just been unnecessarily sarcastic to someone at Brentwood Council, so I've achieved something, but yeah, productivity is pretty minimal.
