Sadly, yes. I think in the last few years, the number of conspiracy theorists has massively increased on social media. Electing a **** crazy tinfoil hatter as the President of the US has probably had some sort of impact on that.

My dad has fallen down the conspiracy rabbit role in recent years; flat earth, plandemic, Bill Gates, the new world order, the fake news mainstream media etc.
However, he did day Qanon was a stretch too far for him, so it’s reassuring for me know that he’s not completely mental.

I'm the scumbag outlaw. You're the pillar of justice. Neither of us like looking at ourselves in the mirror. Do we have a deal?

Hope everyone is doing well! Been lurking a bit recently, re-read some of the goldmine stuff, when I re-read the time QWOP broke his laptop with Tuna Juice/Oil I was in hysterics

Hope all is good with you and yeah those goldmine threads are well worth another look.
Shame there's not many threads like those these days

Going to decorate the Christmas tree tomorrow afternoon so I've kicked off a load of baking. Making a few batches of Lebkuchen, a small batch of mince pies - stuffed with dried cranberries, cherries and blueberries soaked in Amaretto, almonds, chocolate and Madeira cake and then topped with an Italian meringue.

Re: Pavel's eBar
After almost 12 years with the same employer (numerous name changes), from Monday I'll be working for a brand new corporate owner. Spent a fair whie transitioning towards this change so it can take effect and to be honest; when my company sold the product - I was basically included as part of the inventory with the sole option of agree or lose your job.
Still not even 50% sure of how i'll fit in with the new structure as so much has been hidden. I built this product from scratch using SQL, Excell and Viseo. From a simple strawman to the full product ive been behind the push to make it viable, to production and then constant improvements.
From Monday. f*** knows what will happen or where this will lead.
No choice. No vision.
Gave me a nice new laptop though?

Same pay? If you’re the one with more knowledge of it than anybody else then you’re still in a good position.

Re: Pavel's eBar
Same pay, keeping all my duration with one company so not losing holidays. Have to move to a different pension scheme etc.Bodacious Benny wrote: ↑Fri Dec 11, 2020 7:12 pmSame pay? If you’re the one with more knowledge of it than anybody else then you’re still in a good position.
I just feel as if ive been kept in the dark during the whole process and when i ask about the future; its only half answered. Literally on Monday i have a url to click and that should set me up with my entire remit on thier system?
Nothing has really been communicted to anyone making the move across.
Re: Pavel's eBar
My work just did it's annual town hall. Their plan is to have us all work remote for 2021 and will consider having us back in the office by 2022.
Yay?....

Re: Pavel's eBar
Sounds good to be me. A lot of businesses don’t need physical premises to operate effectively and could save a fortune by downsizing premises and keeping more remote working in place.
I’m just as effective working from home, it saves me £85 a month on the cost of my commute and I’m far fresher with a better work-life balance as I’m not spending 10-15 hours a week needlessly commuting.

Re: Pavel's eBar
That's all true, I tend to work constantly when I'm from home. The line separating work and home blurs until there isn't one. Even Xmas feels less festive this year. Maybe that's covid fatigue?Bodacious Benny wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 1:56 pmSounds good to be me.

Re: Pavel's eBar
I’d agree with that too. Though I find it works both ways. I’m not tied down to Mon - Fri 9-5 now. Yesterday was a quiet day so I wrapped up at 2pm and went to the gym. But then on Wednesday night I worked until 7pm so it balances out.Hjl wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 2:03 pmThat's all true, I tend to work constantly when I'm from home.

I’m off for 2 weeks at Christmas but will still have to login every couple of days. I manage medical trials and sadly they don’t stop for Xmas so I’ll need to keep an eye on any urgent things that come in but hopefully not too much.
