Are you tree surgeons I asked? No they said, there's only two of us Edited May 22 by billysugger 1 2 1 Quote
Popular Post onesea Posted Saturday at 07:02 Popular Post Posted Saturday at 07:02 I need everyone to wish me luck. I have a meeting at a bank later and if everything goes well, I will be out of debt. I'm so excited I can barely put my balaclava on. 1 12 Quote
bonio Posted Tuesday at 22:43 Posted Tuesday at 22:43 If only retiring actually worked like that. The only fuss they made of me was to send me a letter saying if I didn't send my laptop back, they'd dock the cost from my pay. At least they paid the postage, I guess. 1 3 Quote

Now there's a novel idea, a company that provides you with a laptop necessary to do your job. I have to provide my own. 1 Quote

Grumpy Old Git Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago I had a work laptop and mobile phone which I had to return on retiring. I kept the mouse mat! 1 Quote
husoi Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago I worked for a company that will remain unnamed that the day I handed my resignation they asked me to handover everything and I wasn't working for them anymore. Got paid the notice period and managed to start with another company immediately 2 Quote
