No redundancy for me, confirmed today.
Lucky to have a job I suppose but that payoff would've been lovely.

Bit of a ying/yang isn't it. I was made redundant twice and the first one after nearly 13 years service was nice. Big deposit on our first house. Second one with minimal pay-out and the stress of finding another job. Would rather have a job in these conditions

I just fancy a change really, and after 16 years of service it felt like the right time. A pay off would've helped the job search after a decent summer with the kids.
But on the plus side, I've had a good payrise to ease the blow...which should hopefully pay the gas bill.

When you get a nice pair of golf shoes in the sale, you receive them the box says UK 11 but they are actually a 10. Contact the company "sorry sir we are right out of 11s now" wtf!

The protesters blocking the tankers meaning garages not getting fuel deliveries and now people panic buying again.

Theft and damage to the oil tank at work, again. It is in a locked compound, they have climbed over, snapped a pipe off and taken 100-200 litres. It is not just the theft of the oil but the cost of the damage. We need to get someone out to repair the pipe, the pump may well be damaged from running dry. Throw in the oil that poured into the bund which is stinking the outside out. CCTV doesn't pick them up, too dark to see when they took it.

Just what you need right now :mad:

Surprised no PIR sensors on floodlights!

That may be something we have to look at, the floodlighting aspect. Sensors trigger activity on the cctv but it is not much use when the screen is black. I'm also looking at radiant heat tubes to replace the oil heaters. The tank is outside, it is a weak spot despite being fenced in, and so it is vulnerable to theft. We were lucky for 12 years or so but the last couple of years has been a problem.

Some guy who allegedly harassed women suffered severe shock and stress.

He managed to get into a psychiatric hospital immediately when 6m people are on The NHS waiting list and many more deserving cases.
Is this the same person who liked the white stuff? PR default no. 1, claim stress and personal problems, check into rehab or equivalent. Very, very irritating.

People applying for jobs when the interview date is stated on the advert, get invited to interview, only to then not be free to come to interview on said date and request alternative dates...

No.. and you've just lost the opportunity too for wasting my time.

Yes, that may ring a bell.
So sorry to hear of your problem at work. It is not the cost of the theft but the hassle in getting everything back to normal plus additional measures for the future.
