I get where your coming from but I'm just thinking that a company that desperate for free Labour and ideas would have got them to waive that right before the start of the "interview" I think anyone would be absolutely correct in being outraged by that behavious, I just suspect anyone that devious for free work would have closed the door before the horse bolted. I could be wrong of course I'd be sending them steaming turds in the post for sure 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we ask teachers to write mock lesson plans, they're told in advance that they are kept. I don't think it's a problem as long as everyone knows in advance what the deal is. What I was (possibly over)reacting to is the idea that they might just decide to pinch an idea because it was better than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget that and clearly the bladder is saying welcome to middle age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this problem until I told people to text me in my OOO. Works for two reasons. Firstly, they have to actually think about what they want to say and half the time they realise it can wait. Secondly, because it's a text it's up to me when I reply. If anyone does call it goes to voicemail which has the same effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a separate mobile which is switched off and stuck in a drawer when I’m taking annual leave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just leave, I often have my OOO on whilst doing training courses or on an audit. I'm on leave now and no way I'm checking work messages. I did use to be bad at that though and remember checking them at 3am whilst on pat leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do say they can text me on my personal phone in an emergency and i'll respond when I can. I don't want someone spending hours trying to work something out when i can give them the answer in 5 seconds. To be fair, I'm very rarely contacted now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, to be fair my main colleague has my personal number and I said he can contact me if he needs to. I trust him to only do it if he really needed to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance now, I’ve realised nothing is so urgent it can’t wait. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen Eastenders in about 15 years but people always had jobs like market trader/barmaid/cafe worker/taxi driver/mechanic, yet they all lived in three storey houses in London which are probably worth £1m. No-one ever appeared to work in 'the city'. People just hung around the square all day. And they "look out for each other" despite most of the time trying to murder, attack, double cross and generally bring down one another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
