To be fair, at the age of 11 I was regularly getting terrible headaches and I was told to give up those three exact things for 3 months (well, Coke instead of caffeine but the same idea). You'll be pleased to know that it didn't stop the headaches so I got right back in about the Big 3 C's again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 People who feel the need to discuss wages and other personal financial matters. This can range from people bluntly boasting about how much they earn to people fishing for information relating to your own affairs. I used to work with (I know I know)a woman who was terrible for this. She started working in the company on the graduate scheme and when it came to bonus time she asked the other graduate in her department what she’d got and, with some hesitation, the other grad told her. Upon hearing the figure the woman refused to say what she’d got, brass necked.She always used to ask questions about tax, as she was trying to work out what tax bands we were in and therefore a ballpark figure for how much we got paid. Strange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The OP Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 To be fair the enthusiasm for being private about earnings is generally to the employer’s benefit and the employee’s detriment. Not true in all cases but true tor the majority of people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I'll disagree with that. I've tried mushrooms on numerous occasions but have never taken to the taste and texture of them.
