What a load of crap, Joker by name...

Both are just fizzy yellow water, they should be banned from calling either of them beer.

I just don't like being "that guy", the one in every firm that always rocks the boat and says no when asked to do stuff outside of regular hours, because everyone just hates him.

Oddly, coffee makes me thirsty, I find it very drying. I usually have to follow it straight away with something actually hydrating which is why I don't drink it much, that and I can't stand it without sugar where as tea I can chug all day without sugar.

I can think of a few similar IRL scenarios. People who have been known by a nickname most of their life quite often don't like people using their given name. Same for people who prefer to use their middle name rather than their first. I went to a school with a lad that everybody knew as Scott...

Yeah that's pretty much how most of us see it, he will get it back elsewhere. We can't organise the jobs in any other order apart from most urgent first, we do try to get them in area groups but it's not very often, I regularly do 300+ miles a day driving and that's just to get to/from the...

Because it's just how the other two do it so believed it to be normal. Like I say when it's a small firm and a family friend you feel obliged to help out more than you would if it's a faceless OmniCorp.

I didn't have the skills to get my current job, boss is a family friend of sorts and just set me on as a 3 month trial a few years back, I'm just time served with no qualifications. Not much call for that these days, people want the right bits of paper not people who can do the job.

If I had any qualifications or skills I would, as it is I'd probably only get something on min wage or similar.

We don't get annual raises or bonuses. Overtime is either in the week or weekend. The 10 hours a week unpaid is because I'm a mobile worker with no fixed base/office so the boss classes an hour each way unpaid. Overtime is basically anything over my 8 hours in the week (10 hours in reality...

It was something that came afterwards, I knew we did weekend call out but my job didn't involve that side of things. Now as I've started taking on greater responsibilities and doing two different roles I have been dragged into weekend call out. No I'm paid terribly and it isn't worth my while...

I get no standing charge, I just get paid if I have to go out to a call. So I could stay at home all weekend (and sober, booo!) with no calls and no pay.

What is the opinion of overtime in the forum's opinion, is it purely down to employees desire/availability or are their other considerations? I don't earn much, so overtime to me is barely worth it, in fact when I do agree to it then it's purely just to help out the firm not for self interest...

Thanks. Fin.

I thought the done thing was trying to resolve issues before leaving negative feedback, obviously not.

I am at fault, no doubt. I listed something easily worth £125, expecting maybe £100. Didn't set a reserve. Item ended at £2 for some reason. So I sent a message saying I wasn't willing to let the item go for £2 and apologised to the winning bidder for wasting their time and that we could sort...

Can this be done as a seller? I've never had any so thought I'd ask here.

Currently using one of my 1070s but thinking of going back to a 1080ti.

Do these big maglites have wrist lanyards? wouldn't want to risk it being snatched off you and get your head bashed in with your own torch.

But surely if the 1600x is a bit of a bottle neck with current GPU then upgrading won't get the best from the upgrade?
