  • Don't buy a median house or move somewhere else then.

    Here I often hear of people move to London "for the jobs" complaining they can't afford a house and they are working retail. Just move, you can get a retail job anywhere.

  • The top 5 regrets from people that are about to die. Stop worrying and just touch the grass.

    Not having the courage to live a life true to oneself, instead of the life others expected.

    Working too hard and missing out on life.

    Not expressing feelings.

    Not staying in touch with friends.

    Not allowing oneself to be happier.

  • Oh I absolutely expect morale to tank. We barely have parking at all, the office is large enough for about 25% of the company, the parking is enough for 5% of the seats in the office.

    I am hoping I can get it down to once a month, at that point its no worse than commuting into town for retail every day as far as total commuting time each month. The pay I get is barely over minimum wage so that is hardly a benefit compared to retail. Full WFH is pretty much the only benefit that is worth anything.

    Then at once a month hopefully avoid coming in for a few of them. Plan holiday for the days we were going to be in, that kind of thing.

  • Bought a house a couple of years ago, just as Truss fucked up the economy so my mortgage sucks. 2 year fix ends soon though so hopefully the rate will drop. Tempting to keep paying the same amount though as I know I am able to and then cut many years off it. Or perhaps even aim to pay a bit more and cut over a decade off. Reducing the size of the debt faster also should mean I can extend the payback period if I have financial issues and its not as much of a problem as there would be more time to work with.

  • Scrolling through indeed right now, its not great. Maybe just give up trying to find anything I have skills for and find something unskilled?

    But I think my contract states once a month in the office so if I can argue that its probably worth staying and just going through a shit commute once a month. Still not great but probably slightly better than taking a local retail job.

  • And I just found out I need a new job as we are being ordered into the office after they moved it 50 miles away.

    Things are not looking good. I think they will hit us with another round of redundancies after some people leave too.
