When you say recently do you mean in the last 4 weeks? If your job role changes as a result of a restructure, you should be given a trial period in the new role, 4 weeks I believe. If the job is not sufficiently similar to your old role, you have a legal claim for redundancy. Sounds like if you’re out of your depth it’s not sufficiently similar.

The Trump effect

I will make a provocative post this time because I feel this situation warrants it. If you experience this with a lot of people have you considered that you do not know the difference between disagreement and ignorance. Again more than open for any examples (via PM mind to avoid continued thread derailment)

Can I at least ask you why you bother ever posting a viewpoint or engaging in debate if thats your attitude? It seems to me like you’re suggesting that dissenting views are not welcome which would make debate futile. I know people don’t like some of my views but none of my views are uncommon or unpopular in the wider world. You’re the first to quote me with a scoffing comment but always seem to take this approach, particularly when asked for examples or evidence. Maybe you should consider just using a laughing emoji to my posts like the others who want their view heard but aren’t open to debate.

In your last post. You said: How can someone who prefers Trump say no need for name calling 🤣

Whine? My post was a happy one, I’m glad Kamala lost. Im responding to people whining about my posts

When did I say I support Trump’s name calling?

Can you give 1 example of something I persistently and intentionally ignored? I may well have not replied to everyone that was engaging me, I have a life and am not able to commit lots of time on here and given pro Trump was the dissenting view, there was a lot of posts to respond too.

Dissenting views are obviously unpopular, no need to name call though, that’s more of a reason for a ban imo.

Can’t post in the elections thread as I’m banned for whatever reason but pleased to see Kamala lost!

Although I use it a lot i actually really hate the terms left/right as I think it’s wrong to base your view on one thing as a determined for what your view should be on another. I have some views that I wont post because it will cause uproar that would be deemed very right wing and I have some that would be deemed very left wing. I find the most black and white people to be those who blindly latch on to every view that falls within their wider political camp and won’t stray from them so as to avoid straying from the whole camp.

Don’t have any data on this and you might well be right but i think you’re conflating a belief that it is a problem but not the biggest decision making issue of their voting choices to a complete disregard of the issue. Having said what I said, there are lots of issues that are higher on my list for deciding who to vote for than climate change and that is largely down to the fact that I am responsible for my own carbon footprint (of which I’m convinced is lower than Greta Thunberg’s), an unbelief that we live in a country big enough to matter when we have the Asia problem and an innate selfishness that I think is prevalent in most if not all people.

Got a few Matt Haig books recently as was recommended to me. Read The midnight library which I enjoyed, read the Life impossible which was all right and just started How to stop time. I really like subtle fantasy/sci fi so these are right up my street in terms of concept but not the best delivery imo. Any other recommendations welcome, for guidance one of my fave books was Jonathan strange and mr Norrel
