You can take pets, children, a spouse and a suitcase, and obviously there's the post to keep in touch with your old life. You arrive on the bus, Robin greets you, and you step onto whichever farm you select. Your fate is entirely in your own hands but Grandpa is watching.

Would you take the chance? What would you bring in your suitcase? You've got 12 spots plus whatever clothes and books you want to bring.

Brief timeline: I was doing a job well for four years then took a level transfer within the same company - same pay scale, different duties, different manager. I had disclosed disability while in the first job, had received accommodations and was doing well. I left due to workload issues. Disability - specifically neurodivergence - was marked in my HR file. This apparently was not conveyed to the new manager when I transferred, and I had just tried to struggle on without rocking the boat for a few months, but I really was struggling.

Questions:

In the witness statement is it worth briefly pointing out that the job I was discriminated against was a level transfer from another area of the same business, and that having received the adjustments there, I had been thriving and doing good work?

I also need to know if I should include an example where I was directed by the manager to work on a process with colleagues; the colleagues refused to train me on anything to do with it or to check the work and give me feedback to improve. I had not disclosed neurodivergence to them or to the current manager at that point, but I had taken time off which they'd seemed annoyed by. I am neurodivergent and it really shows when I'm under stress - such as starting a new job.

The same manager had been very willing to give me accommodations for a physical disability that I have but seemed quite angry when I brought up neurodivergence and asked for accommodations, and they were refused on grounds of cost (it was agreed in principle but for the sake of saving £10 per month, I was asked to wait until Teams could provide meeting transcripts in a year or so) or not being fair to others. I have contemporaneous notes of those refusals. Without the adjustments or training, I struggled more and they wanted to put me on a PIP; it felt at times as though they were asking what I needed so that they could actually make things harder (I couldn't follow things in meetings so they scheduled extra meetings instead of letting me have things in writing, that kind of thing). Should I be including this kind of detail, with evidence, in the witness statement, or should I be adding more - how it caused struggles, how it made me feel?

Thanks so much in advance

I'm in Scotland where the tribunal seems to be much less busy than for some others. So I had teh PH in december, we're supposed to have a five day hearing in July - I had to chase to get a date for it because it somehow slipped off their list, and then they tried to schedule mediation for May.

We were offered a range of dates, said which we (R solicitor and me) could attend and teh court offered us a date. Then the court came back to us and said the judge hasn't time available on that date so do we want to just drop mediation? Obviously I've said no, I would still like to try mediation; R solicitor hasn't responded that I can see.

Can they just say "no, we don't have availability" like that though? The solicitor and I have both agreed to JM and I'm personally happy to push the actual hearing off till we've tried it - though of course I haven't said so.

Has anyone been through it already? What should I be asking for or watching out for? I can prepare my schedule of loss but I won't have anything for personal injury unless sick notes count. Should I have my witness statement and timeline/statement of facts on hand?

It's about disability discrimination that's been ongoing for two years at a well known university; I'm hoping to keep working for them in a different role and different department (it's silo'd enough that that is feasible).

I'm not experienced with negotiation and have ASD, which affects communication. I'm already kind of terrified of this so any advice would be appreciated

I had an impulse restart last night and am now playing as Esme on Weatherwax farm. What are the mods I can add here? I already have East Scarp and most of its options for The Herbs, and in due course I'll be adding goats and bees, and the witch hat after Spirit's Eve. I also have a coffee plant from the cart and an ancient seed growing already.

Does anyone know of any interesting new plants I can add? Any particularly good beehive mods? I have Better Beehouses but I'm nowhere near getting the greenhouse unlocked.

For anyone who's unfamiliar but might know of any mods, Granny Weatherwax was a witch in Lancre on the Discworld; she keeps bees and goats, does a lot of Borrowing (riding along in another creature's mind), works on the barter system, and appreciates black clothes, pickles and cakes. She was single and liked it that way and her cottage looked like an ancient pile of rocks (I might also be interested in a house mod if there is one, I have Italian Countryside for now)
