    Bit of a wild swim in that wind. Very choppy waves hitting the beach at 45 degrees (usually they’re parallel). Ended up 80m down the beach in a few mins from where my kit was. Certainly wasn’t a south easterly as per BoM but nth. easterly.

    So no wave tonight just sand in the wind:

    They denied my raise. Apparently doing 45 hour weeks isn’t enough. Go fuck yourselves. Give me insanely difficult clients and then tell me the relationship isn’t great. Pretty much what I expected.

    The relationships were damaged significantly from issues between respective leaderships. Very little could be done and none of them had anything but praise for me.

      Silver lining is you know exactly where you stand with them. When you move on, it won’t be a shock.

      What a bunch of fuck heads. Losing staff left right and centre and then refusing to accommodate you is so stupid. They know the place is going down the toilet.

      That really does suck. Time to stick to the job description and use that time for other applications

      What a bummer. Especially when this place had such promise when you first started. Sounds like you’ve exhausted every avenue and it’s time to move on… Hope you manage to jump this sinking ship soon, seems like nothing but bad news all around.

      Sooner you get a new role the sooner you can think about moving house too.

        I honestly felt this was the best job I had. Of course, I get anxious thinking “am I overreacting”? But then I remember that we’ve lost close to a dozen people in less than 3 months.

        I’ll be out soon hopefully, I’ve got interviews this week.

        I’m trying to move house ASAP, but I don’t think I can swing it just yet. But we’ll see.

    I’m not as active on here on the weekends as during the week. It’s easier to write something when I’m not worried about two toddlers wrestling on the couch compared to when I’m at work.

    I still dip in and out to see what everyone is doing

      I’m similar, in that I just lurk sometimes because I either don’t a) have anything to contribute b) am too busy or c) have nothing to whinge about haha.

        Too busy’s a big I’ve for me. I don’t understand people that tweet all the time, even just shooting out a tweet takes time.

        And even though you can put anything in here, no matter how mundane, sometimes I just can’t think of anything

      Yikes. Yeah, there is apparently something with the algorithm that tries to send you down that rabbit hole.

      I used to watch canning or gardening videos (ok and maybe a few self sufficiency videos) and started getting recommended religious preppers

      Also gaming in general can be a pipeline.

      It’s just YouTube. I saw someone share a profile just for their kid to watch videos and there was just a Jordan Peterson video in the recommended.

      I see the same thing at work. My work account only has videos related to work and it’s trying to push conservative political shit on me

          It sucks. I saw some clips of Asmongold and thought he’d be mildly entertaining to watch, and then it turns out he’s just a massive chud as well. You can watch a bunch of neutral or leftist content and Youtube won’t recommend anything similar, but watch something with even a hint of a rightwing crossover audience and it fills your feed with Daily Wire type shit.

    Met the new neighbour down here. Dude was born here but moved to the US as an equine vet. Now he’s moved back. Turns out he went to the same school and grandparents lived next to mine. Small world. Seems decent so that’s good. He’ll apparently be back and forth and renting it out as a holiday place in between so might get a few partays to crash.

    He’s not in today. Will know tomorrow.

    I’ve already accepted it isn’t happening. So either way I’m out.

    I’ve never seen such incompetence in leadership before.

      I have.

      A very large and rich cult did a board coup and bought out the multinational my husband worked for, and who I was just starting a job for ( i was sacked ).

      They replaced all the exec suite and put in unqualified but trusted friends, employees were only allowed to buy from a list of trusted vendors ( that’s called racketeering ) . The execs weren’t placed for business expertise, they were like mafia execs, only knowing how to scam.

      company tanked, they did not care, they weren’t there to keep a business running , they were there to spend the goodwill and take all the money they could asap

          the british branch tried to openly sack the execs there , saying they were not the right religion, they forgot that in Europe workers had rights

          the law suits were magnificent
