Exam Results
euan2020 replied to Squirrelhumper's topic in Anything Goes - Other topics not covered elsewhere
exam results are worthless if everyone passes - no value to them my professional exams have a value because for the final series of exams the pass rate is only about 45/50% while we are at it - University is a shoe in as well - pretty much everybody passes and can be done without lot of effort -

Exam Results
euan2020 replied to Squirrelhumper's topic in Anything Goes - Other topics not covered elsewhere
I reckon teachers are to blame - they were looking to give all their students great marks - sometng like an average 10% increase sound like an old croc - but suddenly these last 10-15 years students are so much "smarter" - either that or the exams are easier ..................... -
We been working from home since March - Most people are ovewrorking, and not having a good break off from work time - rolls into the weekends as well - + losing a lot more time on "meetings" - whole day can be filled with meetings, but e can sneak off and work on the side on PC - we already have planned a back to work angle of working from homes on a friday if no meetings Although - I worked from home in Cape Town for 3 years also when they closed the office But for us just now - it's a downturn in industry so we have lots to do

Black Lives Matter... in Scotland
euan2020 replied to exile's topic in Anything Goes - Other topics not covered elsewhere
don't think about racism much lived in South Africa 8 years, and some of the afrikaners are raicist hoors - although Coloured in ZA can also be quite racist about blacks Been working in US now for over 1 year One of the Nigerian guys at work said something to me year back which i think i agree with. American black citizens do not have the same confidence, as the african black nationals. More i think about it - slavery etc is not that long ago - 150 years, and only a few generations for many people, and the 60's/70's are not that long ago - Then you get into, not been able to purchase property - incidents like below https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa_race_massacre This one turns your stomach, about Mary Turner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_1918_lynchings -

Furlough / Redundancy advice
euan2020 replied to ThistleWhistle's topic in Anything Goes - Other topics not covered elsewhere
My Company catches on cycles where they want to lose head count quick, and if guys are not familiar with you, due to being a big company, numerous geographic changes, and managements line changes, you end up reporting into people who don't really know you , so you can end up on severance list simply due to the people putting names on lists are not a sponsor of you. Anyway - twice they have tried to RIF me (Reduction in Force) these last 4 years,, and i fought with HR both times - still in same company now for 17 years (11 years prior company) - I would have been due around 18 Months pay due to contract, incorporating 1 month pay for every years service, based on cost to company - Both times they came back to me saying the process had begun in error - 2nd time around i actually jumped roles and got 40% pay rise - 18 Months pay would be good, but better to keep plates spinning, getting monthly salary, bonuses, & choose to leave when you want to leave - have friend in same industry, and he's only really worked 1 year since 2014 . My opinion is HR know jack, and you can dance around them often to delay or push for better offer. -
Advised yesterday we are to continue working from home until @ least 1st September (Could even be December ) - Been working from home since 16rh March Work longer hours at home, than office + more meetings
