Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

I am guilty of this.  But as Throbber points out, not everyone reads their emails on the day they were received (ignorant c**ts), and some people are that stupid that they wouldn't read the sent date.

I’ve done it before as well when I know it’s a thick c**t that I’m sending it to.

Do you get these a lot Rugster?...

Arseholes who send an email referring to tomorrow and put the day in brackets, eg I will be in the area tomorrow (Friday) would it be possible to have a catch up.

I fucking know what day tomorrow is and so no, it won't be possible to have a catch up you fucking w****r.

That would grate a bit, but tbh I'd find it acceptable if they went "I will be in the area tomorrow (DD/MM/YYYY)"

Have a word!  You must work with some thick c**ts as well, shirley?

In addition, we have offices worldwide, so one email could be going to a colleague in Shanghai who probably won't pick it up until tomorrow, whereas the next is going to Trinidad, where they'll still be in their scratcher.

PTTGOYN - misleading news articles.
 
Today on the BBC - Gender pay gap: Men still earn more than women at most firms
 
Yet the first line says - 
 

The majority of medium and large companies have a higher wage bill for men than women, according to the latest government figures.

The disparity, known as the the gender pay gap, reflects the breakdown of a firm's total wage bill, as divided between men and women

 
What a load of bollocks. It doesn't show if there are more men than women. You might have a landscape gardening business with ten male labourers and one woman in the office doing the accounts. The labourers will be on minimum wage whilst the accountant woman will be on a lot more but according to this utter pish this company would have a gender pay gap in favour of men. 


Yes it is a nonsense.

I find it astonishing that such terrible data is a requirement for disclosure in accounts these days. It’s actually patronising and insulting to women IMO.

I've never heard of him/her before seeing a headline on the news. I've heard of Stormzy (who was mentioned in the same headline) but don't know any of his records.

 

I only knew who stormzy was because of him being pictured with jeremy corbon and the news going on and on about it.

 

Was he no pictured with lukaku in america as well?

Don't think this is correct, it's the total pay for male employees / total number of male employees vs same for female. There is (unsurprisingly) a gap between this figure as rightly or wrongly the majority of senior positions tend to be held by men. easyJet and TUI have large disparities as they employ mostly male pilots and mostly female cabin crew. In your example the company would have a gender pay gap in favour of women (I suspect most of the 11% that came out this way are relatively small businesses).

i notice that the hysterical media are not using the example of the Haitian prostitutes that these Oxfam herberts were all throwing money at to illustrate this so-called "gender pay gap", eh - selective reporting at its very worst

i imagine this same furore would also illustrate the (again) so called "glass ceiling" that female workers reputedly come up against - or maybe that'd be "glass topped coffee table" - one or the other, anyway...

I found this image quite interesting regarding the gender pay gap:

Image result for pay gap doesn't exist graphic

Basically when men and women are judged on doing the same job at the same level in the same company then there is virtually no pay gap. Jordan Peterson is a guy I've found recently (thanks to his absolute murdering of Cathy Newman) and he seems to talk a lot of sense on these issues.

Every post you make is laced with some sort of sexual deviancy. Can you not go and find a deviants forum to post on?
