I'm sick of listening to my neighbours teams calls whilst working from home.

I work full time & commute to work. On my days off I like to sit in my garden & relax but I can't because my neighbour works from home, in their conservatory with the door wide open on teams calls all day. Its infuriating. Still can't even work out what they do because they just seem to chip in agreeing every so often.

The right underlay matters!

We moved in a couple of years ago & this flooring has always been super creaky. We've got an amazing carpenter helping with other tasks in the house & I mentioned this floor. He took a board up & spotted carpet underlay beneath. This underlay is incorrect as its too bouncy so the floors are bending too much causing the creaking sounds.

Theyve since took up the flooring and relaid half the flooring and the sound difference is amazing! No more creaks. Turn the sound up to hear the difference.

Now we've realised we need to relay the study floor too, but of course the previous owners laid the floor incorrectly, but added fitted wardrobes on top. So that's going to be even more difficult, but not impossible with a carpenter on board.

Noticed this on my chili plant. I've had scale before elsewhere and these insects are bigger and green. See second photo for a closeup. What are they? Do i need to treat the plant? Thanks

Employer refusing to provide evidence in a disciplinary case

This whole process has now taken over a year and I've been informed I'm being taken to disciplinary at the end of the month. I have received no evidence about what I 'inferred' or any evidence at all relating to the case.

Communication has been abysmal. I suffer from GAD and informed my employer and people involved and they advised they would keep me updated. They haven't.

I have never been provided an opportunity to provide evidence myself as I was asked to provide evidence whilst off sick, and I couldn't. I was also interviewed whilst mentally unwell.

When I returned to work I've attempted 3 times to provide evidence to have this declined each time & told I will need to wait until the appeals process. Is this correct?

My evidence also contains information from my GP, confirming health issues that could potentially have played a role. Surely this is disability discrimination?

Whilst I was advised i would be taken to disciplinary action at my grievance outcome meeting, I have now been invited to another investigation meeting, not a disciplinary meeting. I'm concerned that I'm being asked to defend myself against allegations again, and yet a year later I still have not been provided any evidence so i can defend myself properly.

My employer refused to respond to ACAS. I feel incredibly unsupported and mentally unwell. I put in a grievance about the length of time and lack of communication which was upheld, but then had 3 months of zero communication. My employer is one of the biggest employers in the UK so I expected better.
