Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

What's the point of making a bullying complaint when it gets basically swept under the rug, especially when that person is on one of their last warnings? I need to get out of that company, they keep promising me work then never give me it.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

I feel knackered.

It's the end of our financial year at work, so as a requisitioner (purchaser), I've spent the last few weeks getting quotes for equipment, most of which I've never even heard of, and ordering it. We have to have all the deliveries today (a deadline I am already going to miss, as two suppliers have had problems with stock, and have not been able to deliver), and I have a pile of equipment in boxes in my office that I can't get rid of as the lecturers who have ordered it are not answering my emails asking where they want it sent. The reason for the panic? The Uni operating a system whereby any unused budget is clawed back, and the lecturers failing to realise they will have unspent money at the end of the year in reasonable time to get equipment ordered and in.

Thankfully, my line manager's boss has stated that next year, the last date for orders (to ensure we get any quotes and equipment in for 31st July) is the last day of May.

It's not even as though the equipment is anything particularly interesting.

I feel a bit the same way. Getting out of the company, I mean. My problem is not them not giving me work. There is plenty of that. The trouble is it's mostly administrative tasks (such as the requisitioning I mentioned above). That's not what I applied for my job for. It's also not what I did my degree for.

Regarding your own position, is it possible for you to move to a different building? While it's not an ideal solution to the problem of bullying, it would at least reduces the chances of you being bullied?

Sadly with bullying , discrimination , sexism and some other things it is often paid insincere lip service to Mark and often swept underneath the carpet but l do hope things improve quickly for you as its never nice being bullied.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

I can't move office sadly, my only option is to resign and then not be allowed to claim benefits. I have applied for some agency work today so hopefully that comes off so I can pick and choose my shifts. Must say, one manager has been brilliant. The one I had all the issues with last year, laid into a group of them who were teasing me last week when it was obvious I wasn't in the mood for teasing. She told them it has to stop, if they carry on then I can make a complaint about them for bullying and that it might be wise to not let that happen. A couple who were there that night and with me yesterday did apologise to me, saying they never realised it upset me that much. I told them normally it doesn't bother me, I love a laugh as much as anyone but since the whole thing with my Nan started my sense of humour has failed big time.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

As you may recall I thought I lost my engagement ring last month, hubby is just off the phone to me and my engagement ring and wedding band are going into the jewelers to be rhodium plated and taken down a size as he said we really cannot risk me losing them.

Why is this moan well because I will be without both rings for 10 days but the good news is they will come back all shiny and brand new looking. I'm looking forward to seeing them back to their former glory just not looking forward to not having them while the progress is being done.

You sure he's not just after a 10 day loan against them?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

LOL

That is what my friend said as she knows we have just had my engagement valued for insurance purposed and let's just say the report was a shock and so much more than we expected.

Well tbh she never said 10 day loan she said pawn shop.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

This wretched excuse for a Summer. We've been down here in Cornwall for nearly three weeks and you can count the days it didn't rain on the fingers of one hand.

It's all rain and mist now as I type. At least we're in that guaranteed oasis of the British pub.

Must be hell for those with kids on a camping holiday not to mention the strain on the wallet.

Except that it's not usually this relentlessly awful. Especially in July/August.
