The woman at work that I hate, being an utter penis again.

Further to this, because it's still annoying me... It's when somebody you work with is such an absolute chore to deal with, and a pain in the backside every time you have to contact them, that you believe they must actually dislike you for some unknown reason. But you can't exactly ask them outright "do you have a problem with me or are you like this with everyone?" because if they didn't dislike you before they sure as hell will then. Don't know whether to say anything or not! She's just a complete tool with the 'Karen' haircut to match.

That's what insurance should do tho. You drive no claims goes up years of driving goes up

Risk should drop you should be offered a lower price

That's the whole point

Could it be age related? I've no idea of the age of people posting but does the risk profile increase as a driver gets older?

Document Controller?

Just ask her if she’s as much of a pain to everyone else as she is to you? At least you’ll know.

I'm the doc controller... she's the office manager (admin/secretary essentially). I have asked a few others and they say she is a pain to quite a few people, whereas others she treats like they walk on water. Probably just the directors and senior managers in the latter group. Every time I have to email her - usually just to notify her of my absence/work location as agreed with my line manager - she has to write back with some petty grievance about it. It's not even jobsworth it's going above and beyond that.

I know the type. One of our regional office managers left a couple of months ago. You could hear the collective sigh of relief.

Furthermore, I've just found out that there is nobody available in the business unit to cover my paternity leave, so they're going to get a temp. I highly doubt the temp will be trained in our system that I manage, and I won't have time to train them, so I will be coming back to a completely ruined project in March. Great.

What can you talk about when you have opposing views on most of the issues? Genuine question. If neither side will compromise then sitting around a table to drink tea and eat biscuits is a waste of time.

Problem is those who are suppose to sort it won't allow talks to happen to sort it by saying we will talk but not about pay or whatever they say

Then just try and change the rules and force through anti human right laws ....

Its gonna be a rough year I reckon.

First general strike since 1926 is it? Won't be long now

I'm honestly unsure of the end game with all these strikes. If neither side is prepared to properly negotiate (i.e. compromise), then what happens? As the blend of annoyance/dismay/worry from the public dependent on the disruption to their lives becomes a regular feature of life - (e.g. I certainly won't rely on taking a train in the next few months and will change my plans accordingly), and therefore the shock of it all becomes the new normal (just like we accepted new levels of service in the pandemic) will the financial impact on the strikers and their Unions drive them back to the table?
There has to be an end point eventually, it just takes some time for both sides to realise where it is.

The train strikes were due to be solved November until the government pulled the deal .. they turned up to sign it and network rail said sorry we have been told we can't offer that anymore

So until the bodies involved are allowed to fully negotiate without interference from above nothing will change

And this bill needs smashing into orbit

Sometimes Paul I think that is what the majority of train employees are hoping for.

As DS hs said people will get by without trains, probably not in large cities, and it will be a vicious circle. We will be back to The Beeching era.

Looking back now expect a few wish HS2 had never started

Really don't want a general strike
Feb 1st is the rumour which has just been announced for civil service so I'd wager it will happen then

Only 23 more months left until these shysters are gone
