    New Job Dilemma!

    I’ve recently started a new job in support work and I’m really not enjoying it. I’m just over 3 months in and work with victims of crime. Coming into the job I loved talking to people and helping them (worked in retail previously) but now it’s just becoming draining and my heart is just not in...

    Career advice?

    Hi, I'm stuck. I think I am a fairly employable individual (or soon to be, once I graduate), but I have no idea what I want to do or what is even an option for me. I am going to graduate with my master's in an integrated master's course next year. It is an MPhys in Physics with Philosophy at...

    Found this forum and I hope this is a good place to ask for some advice on my situation! First of all I just want to say that I accept my mistakes and I do not want to downplay them at all. I was recently dismissed from my finance company job for emailing sensitive data to my personal email...

    Trialling a four day working week

    Hi all, I'm in a fortunate position in that I've convinced my managing director to trial a 4-day working week, starting next year. It's based on 100% pay for 85% working hours (32-hour week) and, most importantly, retaining 100% productivity. The trial will be for 3-months initially, extending...

    Self-organized Team with Tensions

    Hi everyone I work in a small self-organized team within a much larger organization. For the most part we are doing fairly well as a team. However, it has become apparent that one of the team members is bending the rules to their advantage whenever possible. Among other things, they are...

    New WFH chair needed. Read other posts but still not sure.

    Hi Overclockers I'm working from home and will be for at least a few months. I'm in need of a new good, comfortable office/gaming chair. I currently have a stool and my back is starting to hate me. Years of recklessness and delivery driving have destroyed my spine and I feel myself arching...

    Is this bullying?

    One of my (24f) colleagues at work (25m) is being very unfriendly at work and it's starting to get to me but I don't know whether it counts as bullying or not. Some of the things he does: 1) Ignores me, pulls faces and moves away from me when I speak to him. 2) Calls me a b**ch and continues to...

    The working week - which is best?

    I've taken on a job that is very project based and predominantly my work. There's some interaction and dependency on others, but it's mostly asynchronous. Barring the occasional update meeting, I have no specific schedule requirements. Basically, I'll need to provide a significant number of...

    Job satisfaction

    Do you think that job satisfaction is more important than money? Why/why not? You would rather work in a job which you love or in well-paid one which is stressful, you don't have much time but you are loaded?

    How much do you spend on food at work?

    Up until recently, I used to purchase breakfast and lunch whilst at work from a cafe, supermarket, coffee shop etc.... I calculated that it cost me a fair amount of money often close to £10 a day which adds up over a month. I've now slowly weened myself have breakfast at home and to cook and...
