    It's genuinely crazy. I'm not sure how the boss managed it but he's a legend for doing so.

    Did @Raoul Duke move to Amsterdam yet? I want to hear how that's going.

    What are you up to these days, @Boydy? Have you sold yourself as well to corporate slavery?

    Mine is more about the whole structure and roles within it. It would be a long boring story to get into it here but my gut feeling is the only good outcome is me finding something else.

    History originally. Then did a masters conversion in software development after not having any luck trying to get funding for a phd.

    Although originally originally (when I was 18) I started a degree in computer science and dropped out. So I've come full circle now, really.

    What are you up to these days?

    Corporate slavery for the most part after dabbling in startups - I’m in corporate strategy (focusing on financial services) at a consultancy. Currently on a secondment in NYC with a global NGO, though, which has been a nice change of pace from the consulting grind.

    Finished at 4pm. What generosity. Even helped out during the office move. My old manager's desk is a bombsite.

    Took the Y2 football team to a tournament at the Liverpool Academy today. First time I've been, it's pretty impressive, was really well run too, we got through the group stage, winning the opening game 8-0 and lost in the semi final.
    Bumped into Yasser Larouci, who was happy to say hello to the kids, they also thought Remi Savage was Mo Salah for a bit.

    Wasn't a bad afternoon though, one of those that makes you realise how odd my job can be.

    I had to Google Yasser Larouci there to be sure you hadn't just taken pride in some random, unfamous man taking an interest in a group of children.

    Year 2s are notoriously racist. Year 3s are ok but 4s are proper cunts.

    I've just accepted another job, hand my notice in on April Fools Day (lol), go on holiday for 2 weeks, probably be on gardening leave for the other 2 and then start on May 1st.

    I get 6 months guaranteed commission to get me up and running, and a better basic wage, and an established territory. That should see me through the Corona period.

    My other choice was facing still being with this shit company, having a terrible basic, having reduced commission for not hitting one of my targets (despite getting 200% on the other one, with no bonuses), and not being able to sell because of Corona.

    Done pretty well there I think. All within 9 days of approaching the new company.

    Edit: well done Magic

    I was on interview today for a Second in Department job - got cut before the final interview (reduced from 4 to 2) but the two they kept were Heads of Department looking to step down, so think I would have to be fairly hot shit to have beaten either of them to the post. Annoying but got some feedback to reflect on.

    Question now is, do I go for another job; it's Head of History and a job I interviewed for last year. Got the feeling at the time that something was a bit off there and the fact they're advertising again raises some questions (plus if I didn't get it again that would suck). I guess I'm not desperate to leave my current place and money isn't an issue, but I wouldn't mind a change of scene.

    Checking in with the emails. We're anticipating more guidelines to come which will probably push our remaining workload off a cliff.

    The BA refund equates to a month's wages. Six weeks off That's how it'll work, I'm sure.

    I thought I'd nailed the timing but looks like it's too late. Think they'll redact the offer based on coronavirus?

    It would be poor form if they redact and surely a sign that they'd be unlikely to look after you in the future anyway.

    Indeed, but it's not those massively at risk industries. Even on our acceptance call they were totally fine with my start date being 01.05.20, with a further 6-8 weeks of internal getting up to speed.
