Do you lot get to take the leftovers home for tea, or does it all have to go strictly into the bins because of company policy? It always breaks my heart thinking about all those lovely bakes potentially going to waste
I had a really rough period last year with severe anxiety and completely buried my head in the sand regarding my tax return, so now I am facing some proper hefty fines. I want to explain the situation to them but I am terrified they will just dismiss it as a poor excuse. Has anyone had any leniency?
I noticed they introduced The Detour alongside this series. For those who've watched it, is it actually worth it, or is it mostly just extra chat and recycled clips? I really like the main show and don't want to ruin the magic if it doesn't add much.
Worth sticking on after each episode?
The dangerous myth that the government will just take your pension
I hear this one constantly from coworkers who refuse to opt into the workplace scheme because they think the state will just change the rules and steal the money when they retire
I am looking to apply for promotion soon because I need the salary bump but I am terrified of losing my work life balance. Most of the grade sevens in my current area seem to be online at all hours of the evening answering ministerials
For me, it was paying for a really good quality pet bed. I remember wondering if it was a bit over the top at the time, but seeing how much my pet actually uses it every single day, I don't regret it at all
A regular tea feels a bit too heavy but a cold fizzy drink feels wrong against the hot cheese. What is the best beverage to balance out the richness
Every month I see the notification about the ten lucky customers who got their salary doubled just for getting paid into Monzo via Bacs. While it's obviously amazing for the people who win, it feels a bit too much like a gambling app gimmick for a major financial institution. I'd much rather they just offered a flat one percent interest rate on basic current account balances instead
I am in my 30s and my pension pot has just hit a really healthy milestone after some aggressive compounding and high contributions. When do you decide that the pot is large enough to just leave it to grow on its own and pivot your extra cash toward bridge ISAs or paying off the mortgage early. I am struggling with the anxiety of stopping the tax relief benefits vs having too much locked away
Yesterday I spent nearly three hours reformatting a document that had already been approved because someone wanted the headings in a slightly different shade of blue for a meeting. Nobody discussed the content, nobody suggested any changes, and I'm fairly sure nobody even read it
I’ve recently been offered a new role with a 20% pay rise and better remote working flexibility. When I handed in my notice, my current director immediately matched the salary and promised they would review my hybrid schedule next month to keep me here.
I genuinely like my team and the commute is easy, so I am tempted to stay. But the standard advice you always hear is never to accept a counteroffer because the underlying issues rarely change and they will just start looking for your replacement. For those who actually took the counteroffer, how did it pan out for you six or twelve months down the line?
I am trying to decide whether to upgrade to the middle tier plan or just stick to the free account. The extra interest on savings and the custom categories look appealing but I am struggling to justify the recurring monthly cost. If you are already using third party budgeting tools it feels like you are mostly paying for a different coloured physical card. I would love to hear from people who have kept the subscription long term
Our right-back could be in action tonight as Scotland take on Morocco in their second World Cup group game. Facing a top-tier side like Morocco is exactly the kind of high-level experience Patterson needs to kickstart his development. Do you think a strong performance tonight helps his case for a regular starting spot at Everton next season, or is his future already decided?
