Lemonade Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 People who make the broad assumption that anyone acting like a twat in a bar is associated with the oil industry.True. They're usually rugby players in my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 More Facebook fun. I gave some "feedback" today on the horrible new photo viewer, which was "I HATE IT. Get rid of it". And they responded:Hi,We are aware of the problem that you described and apologize for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, we do not have a specific date for when this issue will be resolved but hope to fix it as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience.Thanks for contacting Facebook,The Facebook TeamNice to know they actually read the feedback / problem reports!

Chris Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I tried to do similar but when I submitted my feedback it just returned an error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Facebook is much bigger than previous site were though. I certainly don't see it becoming the next bebo.New profile thingy is shit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I hate it as well, it feels like with the new profile and photo viewer that facebook is meeting the end of it's day. Social networking sites seem to have a 2ish year lifespan before going down the tubes and being replaced by another one.Facebook launched 7 years ago.

Paranoid Android Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Facebook has infiltrated society as a whole much more than Myspace ever did. Numbers of users aside, facebook is huge compared to what MySpace is or ever was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain burrito Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Myspace has about 70 million users, Facebook has around 600 million. That is a massive chuck of the world population accessing one website.It's not going away anytime soon. There isn't even a cheeky little upstart in a position to take its place, at least not to my knowledge and I study social networks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I wanted to delete Facebook after seeing that film but it's still too damn handy for keeping in touch with people damnit.I still don't know how they make money though. Has anyone ever clicked on one of their adverts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Getting a 15% paycut. Also not being told about said paycut, and finding out about it by checking my bank balance and being short changed. Also finding out the decision to give me a paycut was made back in October last year. Knowing I could have been applying for new jobs this whole time, but didn't because I was left in the dark is a kick in the dick. Also the fact that I've taken on a whole new workload since my colleague has retired. Getting paid less for doing what is essentially 2 jobs is also a kick in the dick.So, paycuts. and the Council.

Soda Jerk Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I'm fairy certain a "suprise paycut" is certainly very illegal.The legal action wheels are already in motion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with a step-ladder I have to reach. This was an emotional rollercoaster for me.After the first sentence I was like "She should post some examples of her work" and then I read on "Wow, it'll be like murals and installations, I'd really like to see that". By the end I figured "It's probably to do with redecorating..."Is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 That's exactly what i thought. Only thing i can suggest is walking out of your job. Get on job seekers, and take speed before every interview you go to. That's what the guy from Trainspotting did, and hey, they all turned out alright didn't they?The nack is to get sacked, not quit. If you quit you wont get hardly any money off of JSA. But if you're sacked you get more. I might get my gf up the duff too. Seems to work. Pet Hate: People complaining about facebook layout changes.

Shaki Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I'm fairy certain a "suprise paycut" is certainly very illegal.The legal action wheels are already in motion...I would imagine at the very least they could be convicted of buggery. Do you know if your treatment was down to horrendous communication problems or a "let's see what we can get away with" attitude? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if your treatment was down to horrendous communication problems or a "let's see what we can get away with" attitude?Well, my manager and supervisor know nothing of it. The agency who employ me were contracted to pay me less as of February (though they told me this morning the decision was made in October, but wouldn't take effect until the contract renewed), as instructed by the staffing department. It seems to be the staffing department who just haven't told my department, or even me. From the brief legal advice I have been given, it seems pretty illegal to just axe my earnings without my consent, or any sort of forewarning. But I don't know how legitimate that is yet.

Bigsby Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Hmm, could be complicated I guess by the fact that you are agency staff, do you have a contract? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I do have a contract with Manpower. I don't know if there is small print in the contract between the council and Manpower stating they can change the rate of pay as and when they please. I'm sure they've got their backs covered somewhere, but I'm still being led to believe that temp or not, they legally can't do what they've done. I guess we'll see.

ca_gere Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I'm a bit late but, It's a bit dickish to ask for a taste of an ale/beer. However, any barman worth their salt should offer before the customer needs to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
