They did. Also Kipper, Lamb and mint sauce, curry, tomato sauce, and sweet and sour. Clearly the Research and Development team were a bunch of pissheads. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hails her amazing yogic intuition for getting her out of the situation. The same intuition that only days earlier convinced her that her car was parked deep into the forest and that she should keep heading in that direction. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were sued under the trades description act, lost, went to court, and won after changing the flavour to actually taste like real hedgehogs. Which taste rank, so the company folded. Allegedly. I think "novelty crisp loses novelty" is closer to the mark personally. But they tasted okay. https://www.doyouremember.co.uk/memory/hedgehog-flavoured-crisps?page=3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerosum 234 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I read about that meteor that dumped over sea at Australia other day, apparently with as much force as a small nuclear blast. Just seen this clip of footage. Good job it was over the sea! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17079 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 ATTENTION TT MEMBERS! 😯 I've been offered a job today via email after an interview on Monday. At the interview they asked my salary which I told them: a. my basic b. what I actually earned (6k more than basic ,overtime etc.) They said at interview a. salary is negotiable b. no scope for overtime They've today offered me just under my basic. I'd normally ignore it but I really fancy the job. It's also less holiday by 4 days and I'd have to do every other Saturday (but I wouldn't have to do a week of 24 hour call outs 5 times a year) the lad who's been doing the job has had a van provided because hes been doing a 3 hour commute. I live 10 mins away. Am looking for advice on how to start negotiations. instinct tells me to go high but that might make them go to no. 2 on the list?

Rayvin 5176 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I think you can make a decent case to them and say that your current basic + overtime affords you the standard of life you're accustomed to and while you're really keen on the position, it's going to make things difficult for you to have to tighten your belt for it. If you want to hedge, I suppose you could go in and say that you're prepared to meet them half way on the overtime, get a £3k payrise, and they can offset that against the cost of fuel for the van. Maybe you could stretch it to £4k. They're unlikely to blow you out completely over that I would think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 4181 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Be very surprised if they walk away to number 2 without negotiating, especially as they have offered you the job. When I hire I get some mental wage demands from newly qualified people, if we want them we will generally negotiate to get to a point where we are both happy. Is the job worth a pay cut? If not personally I would go high and see what they say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30266 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Time to walk into the board room with a ‘this is what I think of your offer’. They'll double their offer before you leave the premises. Trust me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44390 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I would tell them that you're not looking to move for less than you're currently on as you couldn't make that work financially. Tell them that hopefully the fact that you won't need a van will allow them to stretch to meet your current salary. I would really play on the "I have financial commitments that would literally make it impossible for me to leave my current job for the money you're offering", but tell them that you are very keen on the role and you're not playing games. Be prepared for them to ask how you can have financial commitments that need overtime for you to meet them in your current job - just make something up in preparation. 'I've been working there long enough to know that this level of overtime is unavoidable for them' or if you haven't been working there long 'I took the job there on the understanding that they were expecting a certain level of overtime from me'. Good luck anyway, hope it works out. I wouldn't worry too much about them going to number 2 unless you want this job enough to accept a chunky paycut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4371 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 The only way I'd take a paycut would be if my commute was eliminated altogether - I think they've got a nerve undercutting you by that much (your ot). I'd argue the case but be pretty firm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
