Labour turns its back on workers’ rights
“Labour has undermined the principle of universality that underpins its entire programme for employment rights. This means a tiered system of rights and entitlements will remain in place and makes the pledge to give all workers the same rights from day one impossible.
“When the New Deal was originally developed, the Labour leader, his cabinet and the party’s affiliated trade unions shared a vision. They sought to build a dignified workplace in which workers – from the moment they took up employment – would have the ability to take time away after the birth of a child or a bereavement, to enjoy a decent work-life balance and not to be arbitrarily dismissed.
“The document was a recognition of the fact that the tiered system is one of the key drivers of low pay and insecurity, responsible for 3.7 million being trapped in ‘insecure work’ who do not know when their next shift will be or if they will be able to pay their bills ... The New Deal was designed to end the most exploitative practices in the gig economy – where workers are often paid below the minimum wage, made to work in dangerous conditions and denied rest breaks. One such example is Amazon delivery drivers, who have been forced to drive through exhaustion and urinate in bottles ...
“The lack of rights and protections is not just a problem for those in insecure forms of work. It is a problem for workers and the economy as a whole. These practices put a downward pressure on wages and terms across the board, making us all poorer and facilitating a race to the bottom that is partly responsible for Britain’s poor growth and productivity. 
“The expansion of the gig economy in particular demonstrates how exploitative employment practices threaten once-secure jobs. The assault by Royal Mail against the terms and conditions of posties, for example, is a response to gig economy parcel delivery companies undercutting the postal service.”

Not much to report from my little corner at the bottom of the world. I am still returning weak positive COVID tests and isolating at home. We can get out and walk if we go early. We just stay away from other people. It is not hard to do that where we live. I have also been keeping myself busy reading, crafting, taking care of my houseplants and trying a new kind of quilting. More on that later when I get my tech to catch up. I am still felling less than average but will work from home tomorrow and Friday. It should be quiet, I hope it is. Now I need to find my work laptop and hook it up. It is probably as flat as I fell.

"Employees will have the legal right from Saturday to request flexible working from their first day in a new job.
Previously, it applied only when someone had worked for their employer for 26 weeks or more."

Starting to work in an office and realising a 9-5 in which you get an hour lunch break, flexible working hours and WFH options and great coworkers you go out for pints with after work is actually a dream come true

The empathy gap!
This morning I have been reading two different reports from ‘businessolver’, their 8th annual report on the state of workplace empathy. The report is based on more than a thousand participants (HR professionals and CEO’s) across six different industries in the US, and yes, corporations in the US operate in a different HR environment than countries such as New Zealand and Australia, but maybe it…

I need more jock! regulus fics like he was also an athlete okay and he’s a black so he never does things in halves. I need regulus being buff or if not at the very least having the biggest sleeper build of all time. I need him to appear all calm and collected until his favourite quidditch team/football team is on then he goes crazy - he yells and screams and has zero filter. I need him to do workouts at home cause wdym he’s going to slack in the holidays he’s a black - just jock regulus guys

One of my favorite parts of eah is that there is so much ship potential. Literally everywhere. You throw two names together, I'll have a list of headcanons on your desk by Monday.

for the sake of the question, assume that each option is scheduled (ie, you weren't asked at the end of your shift to stay late)

current dilemma: very badly wanna go to new york in october for one last Sleep No More (unless they extend it again, lol) but cannot really justify the $$$ of 2 nights in a hotel
in theory I could just stay overnight but if I’m going all that way I wanna do Life & Trust too, so that means 2 nights
I was hoping going midweek would make it semi-affordable but. nah
