How do you feel about gaol?suzisausage said:How come more and more people are saying 'jail' when they surely mean 'prison'. Isn't jail an american term for a prison? When did it change? Is it monopoly's fault as I think that says jail? I may be wrong and both could be acceptable, but it really grates me.

So I've been on temporary promotion for 3 months after my boss left. This week a new permanent boss has come in and I've returned to my previous role in the team.
She's already made it clear to me that she expects me to carry on doing everything I have been doing for the last 3 months (for 45% less pay) while she "oversees everything, leads the team and worries about the people management side of things". Because "it's great experience and exposure" for me!
I.e. you wanna do nothing all day while I do all the work and you take all the credit for it. Leave me to be doing 11 hour days all week while you knock off at 4.

And I'm pissed because I wanted to be able to take back some of my extra hours worked today to get to the oval and see the trophy presentation. But I couldn't because she expects me to do two jobs and she is fucking useless.cantersaddick said:So I've been on temporary promotion for 3 months after my boss left.

Explain to her you’ve had the experience and exposure you need over the last 3 months and you’re not prepared to continue with the extra responsibility/hours required without being paid for it.cantersaddick said:So I've been on temporary promotion for 3 months after my boss left.

My son had an issue like that. He just carried on doing the bosses work quietly and efficiently until his annual review meeting. Then the sitting in the meeting with both his boss and his boss's boss, he read out a list of everything he'd done that was the other fella's work. Somebody left that meeting a lot less happy than the other two.cantersaddick said:So I've been on temporary promotion for 3 months after my boss left.

Don’t let her take the piss. Some people thrive by taking advantage of others ... nip this in the bud now.2 - Sponsored links:

Large organisation. Very much a case of do your time then get promoted. I've only got two year experience and was basically told you're welcome to apply for it (I did) but you were very lucky to get it even in a temporary basis. How well I did whilst in the job isn't taken into account.ForeverAddickted said:

I've applied for a promotion elsewhere in the organisation so hopefully I'll have a little more luck with that. And I'm due a rotation to another part of the organisation in March anyway so not stuck with this forever.1 -

Mamma Mia the eventim produced ‘immersive experience’ is over £150 a ticket and then they apply a £25 booking fee per ticket and then £1.50 charge for allowing you the only option available which is to print tickets at home.

And having been strong armed into getting four tickets for September 2019 in ‘prebooking’ know full well I could sell them for twice as much closer to the time.
Seen Ed sheeran 2019 have gone ticketless and if you don’t have the bank card that paid for the tickets to tap in, you won’t get in. Wouldn’t tempt me to Ipswich though0 -

Cheers mate. One of the many frustrations I have with working in such a large organisation. Still it's one of the best grad schemes in the world and is an opportunity to actually apply my studies to work....ForeverAddickted said:

Yeah can definitely relate to that... Have worked for small organisations as well as large and the opportunities to progress within those companies can be even rarer though so you cant really win whatever you docantersaddick said:

Look for positives @cantersaddick at least you’ve still got south eastern to get to work1 -
Also, as you must be in your twenties you will have years and years and years and years and years and years to rectify your present situation only to realise at some point in the future someone younger will get the opportunities as they have potentially longer service left than you. But at least by that time you will know what the game is.SheffieldRed said:

I've just taken on a new management role at a large organisation.
The previous incumbent had taken the role on temporarily and whilst he is a pleasant individual, his quality of work and attention to detail was sadly lacking as evidenced by all of the mistakes I'm discovering.
He keeps giving me evils so I've tried to appease him by giving him added responsibilities with the the old 'it'll be great experience and exposure' bollocks but he still mopes around like a five year old who's had his favourite toy taken away.
I wouldn't mind but he spends most of his working day looking at images of trains and the South Eastern timetable on his computer screen.24 -

....store em up out the back till they'd expired and then put em out to sell. Was hoping to kill a few customers with food poisoning by crisp, but turns out the sell by / use by dates mean sweet Fanny Adams when it comes to artificially flavoured fried potato snacks4
