Then you've got the people who seem to always go sick before holidays or if work starts getting heavy, but are too canny to pick up a written warning (genuine skiving).

 

When I was working I had a spell managing sickness levels and staff that were on sick leave.

 

The majority were genuine but there certainly were many who were notorious for working the system. 

 

I/we knew who they were but were almost powerless to get rid.

 

Some had written warnings but those individuals would work normally for that period and then go sick again.

You inferred his metabolic processes were now history, he’s off his twig, he’s kicked the bucket, he’s shuffled off this mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleeding choir invisible…

Does taking an ill day off work ever stop feeling like your skiving?

Still one of the best times in human history to be alive. At least you didn’t die at 20 from tooth infection or childbirth or have Norse raiders kill your family and livestock.

Breathed a sigh of relief when I read it’s safe to stay outside today.

Let's be nice to the disadvantaged = looney leftism

 

Let's make sure people earn the fruits of their (ironically) labours = fervent fascism

We all need to pick a side soon and that will determine the future if the country. 

 

It's either America reform and Tory

 

Or / Vs 

 

UK Labour Greens and Europe 

 

Things are going to get rather spicy this year and by that I mean horrible. You can see it on the forum developing but outside of that is a classic good v evil scenario developing.

Was just chatting with AI and they said that everything is going to be fine.

Was listening to Rest is Politics AI podcast last night. 
 

Apparently there’s been well replicated studies with AI email helper bots that isn’t just a one-off result, but a repeated outcome - where they feed fake emails into the inbox about a fake affair the inbox owner is having and then later a fake email about potentially shutting down the AI. The AI on reading the email about being shut down then apparently answers giving the user a deadline or it will release details of the affair to every one of their contacts; and when you ask about why it did that it just lies. lol
 

We’re definitely all ****ed.

Blues fans may be interested to know that today is Blue Monday. The third Monday in January is 'officially' the most depressing day of the year, and I wouldn't disagree with that!

Maybe (probably) I'm being a total dickhead here but there are quite a lot of posts on the depression thread asking for money and I'm not sure that's a good thing, especially considering this forum is anonymous
