    [Help] How do negotiate a job offer salary?

    He's ****ed:D but he can be a complete and utter **** so I dont care. He's been taking the piss out of me and tagging me along for over 2 years with false promises. Me and the wife have been saving hard for 10 years and have £50k in the bank for a house deposit but have been unable to buy a...

    [Help] How do negotiate a job offer salary?

    No call today:down: I had a very good chat with Goldstone1976 today after i "reached out" to him knowing what he does from reading on here... (yes I know thats a term from the bellcheese at work thread) and he gave plenty of very good advice. If I havent heard from them by 3pm tomorrow then a...

    [Help] How do negotiate a job offer salary?

    Thanks for all the replies everyone, its all really helpful stuff. :smile: As long as I get the follow up call of an offer that is, I may well be jumping the gun here and its all a pointless exercise. I've spent hours on their website researching them, what they do, where they're aiming to go...

    [Help] How do negotiate a job offer salary?

    Over the last 6 months I've become ever more pissed off at work and unhappy. Luckily in these stressful times I am reasonably secure (as can be working in engineering/manufacturing) so I've been casually looking at options and saw a job advert 6(ish) weeks ago that I could do in my sleep so...

    [Misc] 20 Mph Speed Limits

    Its a difficult one tbh. I agree with 20mph limits around schools and heavy pedestrian areas like town centres but I think the real issue with accidents and people being run over isn't speed in those cases although it does help to mitigate a toddler running out between parked cars as the...

    [Misc] Hoodles - The Real Issue

    Oh yes, I wore one as a young teenager in the early 90's, fashionable at the time and great for winter fishing if it wasnt raining. I'm 42 now and still wear hoodies. Got 4 of them, 1 for work and 3 casual ones..... the pub isn't that far away so wearing a coat is overkill but a hoodie fits the...

    [Misc] Jehovah's Witness

    Its a shame this thread wasn't posted a week ago. Last week we received a letter addressed to "Dear neighbour", but from the postie with stamps.

    [Other Sport] Lewis Hamilton the greatest living British sportsman?

    Agreed. When Schumacher was dominant with Ferrari team orders also played a massive part in his wins (remember Barrichello having to give away a win to keep Schumacher top of the table?) Hamilton has done it the fair way. He drives for the best team because he's the best driver and gets gets...

    [News] Loan Charge - another tax avoidance scheme

    I've only read the first page but I have to ask why its backdated? What they did was legal at the time.... HMRC closed the loophole so from there on in tax is payable. Backdating it seems such a shitty thing to do.
