The Cellar - What's upsetting you today?

What glatt said. When you threaten to quit and they don't hand you your hat and coat, they don't want you to quit, which means leverage. Make the most of it to create an environment you can work in. Good luck!

If you are going back in there tomorrow morning, it's the perfect opportunity to explain to them just how much you are willing to put up with, and that you are willing to walk away.

You have a lot more power than you may think if you talk to them in a clear way about what you will put up with.

I don't want leverage. That means that I have or they have an upper hand. I want TEAMWORK. Too much to ask?

You have the leverage to ask for teamwork.

Gratitude is noble but can't come before your health, physical or mental. Take care of yourself. :chill:

Driving Licence renewal.

Every ten years UK Driving Licences have to be renewed with an updated photo.

Cost of photo to required spec: £6.99. They come in sheets of six and, of course, I only needed one.

Cost of renewal: £20.00

Postage: £0.62

Total: £27.61 or $46.84.

Rearrange these words into a well known phrase or saying: Off, Rip.

One is not a happy Englishman.

Even by the usual standards of driving licence or passport photos, it was a real horror. No, I mean a REAL horror.

The remaining prints are under lock and key.

I'm warming up the shredder.:thepain:

Thats nothing. In Aus, you renew every 5 years and it costs almost $200. Stay in the UK. Haha
