Personally, I imagine it playing along to Mylo's Destroy Rock n Roll, but with the names (myself included) replacing those of "sinful" pop stars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t even sign it off Grimbo. I felt let down. He had a message about music venues read out on the bbc breakfast news show last week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'd rather skip the warning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be reasonable but if your boss is a dick and you don't get a move then watch your rear end 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it his company or does he just work there?Total company man or had a few other jobs?Personally, I see people I line manage as colleagues and if they want to better themselves either within or outwith the organisation then that’s a good thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He works there. I can go for months without seeing him and he's generally been sound enough when I have seen him. The more I think about it the more I'm not bothered if he's unhappy with it. All I'm trying to do is improve my job/circumstances. Companies aren't loyal so why should employees be?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistake or perfectly reasonable? I remember one old boss who hated the competition, he couldn't mention them by name and if anybody did they got a bollocking and it simply ruined his day. Obviously, if somebody wanted to leave to join the competition, that would send him into orbit. Fortunately, the competition knew all about him and if he said you were a useless piece of shit then that was seen as a sign of approval. In truth, by the time your new employer is checking on references, they have pretty much already decided to employ you and just want to check on the facts. For example that you are not claiming to be head chef when you were actually the waiter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-r-cfc Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Did a lot of agency work in the summer which totally fucked my tax codes so am currently being taxed 40% on my G4S zero hour contract even if I only do 3 or 4 shifts a month. Overall I'll be nowhere near the personal allowance in the year.Will I need to apply for a rebate or will it just come automatically at the end of the financial year? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure you will get it automatically but heard you can apply anytime for a rebate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Jagsfan Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 The agency should give you a P60 with your earnings and tax deducted for the year to 5 April 2018. You should get the same from G4S. HMRC should give you a refund of any tax overpaid, but not until about September, when the bigger-computer-system-of-life gets all of your income together and figures out that you have paid too much tax. You can chase this up after you have the P60s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A veggie pal made us some cucumber sandwiches recently and now I'm hooked. Also gives a good flavour to iced water. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
