People who are going to do that are not going to be stopped by GDPR. People who do that are bad people who do not worry about such things. I agree it is a potential problem but dying from Covid is a greater worry imo and at the moment track and trace takes first place in the list of importance.
Track and Trace and any system forced upon us must be secure, all avenues should be explored and measures put in place to protect peoples privacy.
These people you describe are already in these jobs.

They were the people quoted. How would GDPR stop them? It would not. I agree systems should be strong but bar staff taking a number off a sheet that has been filled in will know that is wrong already. Doing what they are doing is already gross misconduct imo and so it would cost them their jobs. Track and trace on this scale, with names and numbers written on paper in full view, undoubtedly comes with some privacy risks. No track and trace right now would be worse though.

Are you sure? Maybe the information should be not be in full view or the manager or a nominated person should be responsible for collecting and protecting the data.

Giving these people more opportunity to be misbehave as they are already misbehaving is not an excuse.

Not sure an assault or rape victim would agree with your last bit and it shouldn’t be a case of some things are worse than others.

I think that makes a great deal of sense although it is labour intensive. So far, in the places I have been, the sheets are left in full view to sign in, similar to signing in to a social club etc.

HID taking the day off for British Gas to come and service the boiler and getting a text at 10.00am saying they wouldn't be able to come. Surely they must have known before this morning so she's lost a day's leave and I've had to deal with her in a filthy mood since I got in from work.

Most likely the person due to visit gone sick. Most companies wouldn't accept you calling in sick the night before. So sounds realistic for them not to know. At least she knew all day and could do what she liked for the day and didn't need to hang about for em.

Get the frustration about using up leave though.

That's what I suggested. That was my first mistake. The second was saying at least you had all day to yourself. I've stopped trying to make helpful comments now and leaving it alone. Didn't realise she knew language like that

We had this last week , we have boiler cover that includes an annual service which they keep cancelling , When they phoned to cancel last week we asked about a rebate as we are paying for a service we are not getting . The reply was ok the engineer will be there tomorrow , and he was, job done , no fuss , social distancing observed .

Why is the world Formula One champion obsessed with race issues?


Because he's come from such a tough background, deprivation growing up, battling his way out of poverty etc. And now he wants to do everything he can including donating as much of his own wealth as he can, to making things better for similar people in the future.

OK so the irony meter has just broken.

Having a takeaway for the first time in a long while, and it being awful

:ROFLMAO: know what you mean! the idea of it is always so much better than the actual eating!

I can't remember the last time we had a takeaway, probably not this year. IF we ever do, its Pizza, there is a really good genuine pizza place near me, none of that dominoes or Hut rubbish! as for Chinese or Indian? Meh, fatty rubbish that leaves me feeling dirty and sick.:sick:

I just see this is a damning reflection of the takeaway restaurants near you, ha. Love a Chinese or Indian. We have a takeaway every weekend without fail.
