Stevo985 Posted December 11, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 11, 2017 Just don't have kids. Problem solved. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I’m a teacher in an independent school and our principal took great delight in sending an email to us all stating that any days we couldn’t make it in due to snow would be unpaid. Absolute mother-****. It’s not so bad for me but I have colleagues who live in the Valleys. I’m not sure what he wants people to do if they can’t even safely make it down to the bottom of their road. No way they should be penalised for that. Or worse, encouraged to take what should be unnecessary risks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is a massive word removed so I’m not surprised. I would definitely have looked into it if it affected me.I doubt he would chase up docking his own pay if he couldn’t make it. All staff there are salaried as far as I’m aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Yes, I won't get paid for those days, and it is a bit shit on the run up to xmas. The thing is, all the office staff will still get paid, as they are salary. One of the lads who works with me will still get paid, because he's the son in law to the gaffer, and he's proper up his arse. You'd think they would still throw us a few quid, but I doubt it.

Mozzavfc Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I know I'm at fault here for reading it but BBC 'have your say' section In todays news article about organ donation being potentially made opt out, there are numerous comments of 'im a donor now but as soon as they change the law im opting out. Its my body' So why are you a donor now? Just to spite the government?! This change to to help more people get the help they need 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I was vehemently against organ donation, then I saw on BBC news a family that donated the organs of their baby, I thought if that couple can do that, at their lowest ebb, who am I to say no to something that will have zero effect on me whatsoever. I now carry a donor card and my family are aware of my decision to donate organs. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This change to to help more people get the help they need The horror that comes with everytime you give in and scroll beyond the end of any article. Those people are f**king idiots. As long as the option is there to say nope, then both wishes can be respected, which is great, no problems with those who definitely say no. But the default option should be to help more people. 'Once the body is cold, your organs are gold.' etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to remain intact as I saw a report on organ harvesting so that put me against organ donation. If I read it now it wouldn't even register but I was fairly young at the time.
