Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

He could theoretically sue you, but I suspect that it is rare. There is a little known aspect to this. There is an unofficial blacklist that is operated by some staff agencies. I know that some large companies have problem employees put on this list. I owned a staff agency for a while and was offered access to the blacklist.

Can you be more specific?

I'm just fed of doing my job and have never liked my employer and feel like liberating myself instantly. Did it once years ago and have to say, it was the best feeling ever, that was along time ago and was wondering if I could pretty much still just do it... If being paid is my only real concern then its very tempting..

Employment law is a pain. I am in favour of increased rights for women, but it often acts against them. My experience is very common. I employed a woman who was an expert on Oracle and consequently was highly paid. She worked for me for a couple of months and then announced she was pregnant. I had to pay her for her maternity leave and keep her job open. She only told me she was coming back to work a week before she restarted. She worked again for a short while and was pregnant again. The same process started again and she wanted to come back. I could not replace her except with a temp at a higher rate while she was missing.

I have friends who just don't employ young women at all in highly paid jobs.

So after skimming through that I would suspect that I'd end up being sued for damages. One for dropping him in it and secondly as a warning so no one else got any ideas of doing the same...

Go sick with "stress"

they'll soon want shot of you.

UK current account deficit near record high at £22.4bn

UK exports fell 0.4% in the final three months of 2013, the ONS said

The UK's current account deficit was larger than expected in the final quarter of last year, official figures have shown.

The deficit in the three months to December was £22.4bn, only marginally lower than the all-time high of £22.8bn recorded in the previous quarter.

Thanks for the posts guys, funny thing is this company really needs me right now, more than in previous months anyway. I also know doing a runner right now timing wise would damage the company also...

Turning all of what you say right round....

You are not one of the best types of person to employ. But that should have been found at by your future employer at your interview.

Have you thought of becoming self-employed? That does sound a bit more like your barrow to me.

Commuters at Euston Station were surprised to see British Airways adverts encouraging them to fly to the Indian Ocean on the escalators today, days after it emerged the area is where missing Malaysia flight MH370 is likely to have crashed.

The depths of the ocean were shown on screens at the station, bearing the overlaid text: "Escape the commute and discover the Indian Ocean".

while we have not found them we should assume they are alive.
Keep the fait up

No. Miracles NEVER happen.

A miracle is an event not ascribable to human power or the laws of nature and consequently attributed to a supernatural, especially divine, agency. Such an event may be attributed to a miracle worker, saint, or religious leader. A miracle is sometimes thought of as a perceptible interruption of the laws of nature.

Therefore, they never happen.

More likely to find someone under mud in air pocket, but that would NOT be a miracle; just unlikely.

Agreed Haystack.
Let's think more positively and hope they can be found alive.

I hope some victims of the mudslide are rescued alive. As far as the plane is concerned, I am sure they are all dead. There is always the possibility that a life raft from the plane will be found with just the pilot in it. He will say, "my name is Jason Bourne, what happened".

I have thought about becoming self employed yes..... I doubt my current employer ever sought references or anything as I agreed to do a couple of weeks work for the company as a favour to a friend who places financial people and was struggeling to fill the role, they asked me to stay on after I got a longer contract with another company and have been here since... Got married, had kids etc, etc, its an easy life.... pays the bills kinda thing, and thats it really.
