worked seven days a week since March, didn't really work from dec 2019 until then though, was nice to have some time for the occasional drink and smoke and made a new kid too

when motivated, I am an exceptional worker at whatever I do

When unmotivated I can sack off something that pays life-changing money with no regrets
 
i have a 9-5.

i love my job and would genuinely do it even if i didn't need the money. but, i'd do like 25 hours per week. i genuinely don't believe its really possible to work 8 hours per day in anything mentally taxing consistently forvever. which is why i'm on BL when i was supposed to start at 9. i work from home which helps me feel more in control of my life.
 
I have worked for the vast majority of my adult life. Although it did take me a while to stabilise my employment situation immediately after uni, and I had a few more employment gaps many years later due to my drug use, but other than that I have always worked.

I did once quit a steady, cushy, and fairly well paid job, mainly so that I could go devote all of my time to taking more drugs and getting more deeply into the scene. After a couple of years of doing that, I was still of that mindset, but I was forced to get back into work due to having spent all of my money on drugs!

At that time I was not in a fit state to hold down jobs. I got fired from my next 2 jobs directly due to my drug use. I have never been fired before or since.

In general I used to think that working affords a better balance of life, by seeming to give your free time more value and meaning than it would have if all your time was free. Although I changed my mind about that during 4 months of lockdown furlough in 2019, when I found that I was very happy not having to work for 4 months, while still getting paid 80% of my salary.

I think I've figured out what this work may have been.

Sessions with one of the biggest widely known total wreckheads / genius singer songwriters of our generation, and having met other known celebrity smack heads on several occasions too? It doesn't take too much figuring out.

I didn't know that Shane McGowan won a scholarship to the famous and prestigous Westminster school. Coming from the middle of nowhere in Ireland too. That was amazing. Saw it on a very interesting documentary about him on You Tube. Hilarious in a sad way too at times, with Shane kicking off about wanting to go to the pub, when he was already in the pub!

Its kind of hard to imagine him there in that school amongst all the toffs, allthough I beleieve it has now become a school for the more artsy or media type set. People like Louis Theroux etc.

my sister went out with a guy from Westminster. he was a total arsehole, severe ketamine addiction, extreme sense of entitlement.

i went to private school for 5 years, nothing like Westminster my parents aren't that minted, but they use those scholarships- 1 or 2 per year- as an excuse to have charitable status and thus avoid tax. imo they should have to do a lot more than that. my best friend at high school and the only person i'm still in touch with was on one of those places. we didn't fit in at all.

honestly i think private schools should be illegal. they do so much to further entrenched hierarchies that are not based on merit in the slightest and we all suffer as a result.

but this is the job thread..... so maybe i should stop ranting.

I wonder if Shane MacGowan went through similar things at Westminster school. I wouldn't be at all surprised. Maybe that contributed to turning him into such a wreckhead, although it was possibly also in his genes and destiny that he would end up that way.

I went to a small comprehensive school in the middle of the countryside, and so maybe I was able to fit in better overall and more of the time than if the school had the school been bigger/rougher/more socially challenging etc. Or at the other extreme I'd probably have struggled more if the school had been private and more elitist and snobby. I started to struggle with things like that at Uni as my Autism mask began to fall off due to the increased social demands that I was not able to keep up with, and at the same time as my anxiety began getting out of control. THis would have been due to struggling with the social demands, and I began to know what it's like to be socially shunned. This wasn't something I experienced in the community that I went to school in.
 
I thought we were going to get job listings in this thread.

Link me to some good jobs yall! Preferably starting at zero skills £400/hr 3hrs per week max
 
Well, after spending some time drinking in bed on company sick pay (and waiting for my next mental health appointment), I had a disciplinary a couple of weeks ago.

It was a conflict with one young member of staff who's frankly up her own arse. Rather than making an informal complaint and leaving it there, or even just talking to me, she kept a diary over a year or more and presented it to my manager after an episode where she shouted at me, I calmly responded, and the office burst into laughter at her expense.

Highlights of the hearing were 'sexual harassment' because I was part of a conversation about somebody wearing gym clothes to the office and it not being appropriate or pleasant to look at. But I'm a heterosexual male and obviously I want to fuck every woman on earth. Best bit? The employee in question had left months ago, well before the comment.

I was also 'disrespecting Islam' because a Muslim friend was explaining that the paper cups in the toilets were for genital hygiene. I joked about rinsing myself under the tap when possible. The Muslim colleague laughed and in his witness account explained he wasn't offended. Then? I was admonished for using the word 'knob'. Yes, 'knob'.

She called three witnesses from her small circle of friends and a couple that were sympathetic to me (which she didn't expect). But most of this shit happened long ago, and it's amazing that people would remember the incidents, let alone the nuances. But apparently these people (her training room buddies) were also intimidated by me, despite all interactions being pleasant.

There were more bizarre things on the list. I was also asked if I washed my dick in the work sinks. They're set back about a metre. I'd either have to climb up and crouch over the sink or have a dick so big it'd be down to my ankles.

One formal complaint in seven years. One person and some vague witness accounts.

About 95% of the office is pissed off, and the hearing was a sham as a decision had blatantly already been made if you look at the tone of the findings.

I have an appeal, but not till early March. I'm not hoping for much.

I was down the Job Centre for the first time in eight years yesterday. It's not as bad as it was when I briefly claimed in 2018, but they now have an aggressive Asian security guard who made his contempt for me pretty clear. I left a bag on a chair for a minute at most and he took exception. Maybe thought I was the RA in 1985. They've assigned me to my 'nearest' Job Centre, which is about a five hour round trip on foot. I don't mind the exercise, but there's one which I could get to much quicker with a bus ride and a short walk.

Self-confessed white degenerate with a skinhead, vs mixed race Miss Piggy. I wish I'd rinsed them for more time off now.

Sucks to be going through such a thing. I take it you don't have a union rep to help you?

It would seem extremely excessive to be fired over such an account.

A colleague I worked with in my previous work place, came out with a line along the lines of "Nice tits! They'd look even nicer with my cock between them/ my cum on them" (one or the other) to a female colleague on a works night out, at his previous workplace.

Unsurprisingly HR were informed, and I think he was outright fired for that, IIRC.

And then when he was in the same workplace as me, when he was presenting one of his regular update meetings with his clients, and they were not pleased that he didn't have certain information that they wanted, he responded "What do you expect me to do? Pull the figures out of my arse!?"

Unsurprisingly that client group immediately left our business, and that guy was fired very soon afterwards.

It doesn't sound like you've done or said anything anywhere near as inappropriate, and more importantly, to the wrong people, so it would seem a gross over-reaction to get fired over what you've said happened.

I hope your appeal goes well.

Are there any other managers, or senior, well respected colleagues. or HR people who you get on particularly well with, and could go into your appeal with you, and help you present your side to best advantage? Not that I don't think you're capable of doing that, but I would imagine it would help you to get someone like that on your side.

That's if you'd want to keep working there anyway after all this. It mightn't be easy for either party to forgive and forget, and move on, if you end up keeping your job, and possibly getting some kind of warning only.
 
The hearing manager has admitted he's autistic and has no empathy (most autistic people I know DO have empathy) and my condition was treated like an afterthought despite being back under mental health services. I bet he'd cry if they treated his autism like that.

We'll have to see what the appeal bloke is like. I went the written route to the main hearing, and apparently I showed 'no remorse'. I'll talk this time.

Don't you think it's weird to keep a diary on someone rather than just speak to them or their manager?

I'm especially sorry that my ex isn't around. She would've dealt with the accuser, despite being 5'2" compared to Miss Piggy's 6'.

Bitch deserves to get kneecapped. Toxic.

It depends on many things.

I was advised to do that by a pretty sensible colleague after the deputy manager began effectively bullying me with certain extremely aggressive and inappropriate remarks, at somewhere I worked in the 2010s.

So the next time he did that I said out loud as I wrote in my pad "February 6th. 2016. 2.15 pm X said such and such to me."

His immediate response was an even more aggressive remark, but a ridiculous and childish one, but there were no more such incidents after that.
 
But you're letting him know there. Not keeping a secret journal.

I'm going to ask whether she had dates, and if they're before my referral back to mental health services, we'll see.

I've let the appeal bloke know how we deal with a 'grass' here and in Glasgow, which explains why I didn't keep a record of her being a dick.

The best one?
I was talking to a colleague about the Union flag dress affair, saying it was a blatantly provocative act.

Miss Piggy joins the conversation and assumes I support the flag dress. I very politely explained that I wasn't in favour.

What I should've done is said I'm from an Irish Republican family, so fuck off before I remove your teeth. But I decided to be an adult and just leave it.
