New title and moved in to a new salary band. Means I've got lots more scope for doing different things and getting more again if I do well at it.



More or less interactions on Teams do you think?

Grats Ad, I've heard that they're also going to promote the really loud crisp eater just so you don't feel lonely when you're all back in the office xx

His stories are strawberry floating hilarious too. The staff road test the prototype products, and he's got to sit and take serious notes on feedback about how good it was when some woman's boyfriend battered her up the arse with the new dildo he designed :lol:


I only just saw this, that is strawberry floating hilarious :lol:

That actually sounds really arousing. Did he ever wank at work?

Sweet. Are you able to leave some of your current responsibilities behind to make way for the new different stuff?

The actual role hasn't changed, but I can do more of what I want to be doing and probably be able to pass off some of the more menial stuff later on.

It was literally just credit control and then he left. So that means they've given up again, right? :lol:

During 3 hours Teams call:"Why Zilnad, look at all those flies buzzing around your head. You should come to work where it's much nicer!"

This time next year I'm going to be on a permanent 4 day week. Such a game changer to quality of life, having that extra day.

With my new house purchase I really need my full income this year. From January I'm going to be in a very strong position from a personal and professional standpoint to negotiate with work and get the best possible deal alongside a 4 day week. I don't want a 20% pay cut to accompany it.

In other news one of my most difficult clients ever got back to me this morning and told me they "absolutely love" the work I did for them last week 8-)

Here we go. Work still ordering me to return to the office full time, two weeks today. I'm not having it. Hopefully this other place I'm interviewing for will give me a second interview and a new job because otherwise it looks like I'll be in a pickle.
