Wednesday wrapped

We're on our way home from London :(

I had a shower a day in London and omg I was filthy. I don't recall being that dirty in most cities. Is London extra dirty 🤔

Lucy is from there so yes. FILTH.

When I used to live darn sarf and go to London for the day I'd come home with black snot. Yes, it's filthy.
 
SACKED CHIMNEY SWEEP PUMPS BOSS FULL OF MAYONNAISE.
 
The shower tray each morning I got out was grey, it was so grim 😬

Also, some of the tubes are really grotty compared to others. I think we did the district line (the red one 🤔), that was horrible. Jubilee was nice.

The red one is the central line (very deep and noisy in the centre) goes overground from Stratford out north east to Essex and past the West End too. District is green, slightly more pleasant, very slow going!

Ah yes it was central. Not at all pleasant, seemed very old and covered in graffiti.
 
Also for any Celine Dion fans, Titanique is a lot of fun :disco:

We made friends with what seemed like the whole of the News Quest team who were on a work night out.
 
OT: This might require a thread, but not sure where to put it...ANYWAY.

I want to create an employee wellbeing package for my team to launch in the NY. I want it to be not too gimmicky, but something to make people really feel valued for. I'm providing access to gym membership, a wellbeing app, volunteer days...any other ideas?

(I realise there's tax implications for certain things and also I don't have a huge amount of money, so I can't quite be Google and offer all manner of shite, and I also don't want to sign up to a corporate benefits provider type of affair).

What would YOU value?
 
Taking care of things like gym and travel probably go down best in my experience.
 
That, train fare or whatever, but doesn't sound applicable.

Been a while since I looked, but the packaged ones are all wank. 5% off one nandos a year? THANKS BOSS!

They don't care about me with my 5 team members either. Once you start giving away a meal/ a coffee etc., it's definitely all taxable too, which is shite. Again, quite like the idea of doing that otherwise.

Hot drinks aren't taxable benefits at work and you can also do a Chrimbo party worth up to £150 per head providing all employees are invited (even if some choose not to go).

I meant giving them the opportunity to go get a coffee from a chain or providing them with a meal voucher- as I said, that's all taxable. Only one of my team works in the office, the rest are remote.

And yeah, we already have a Christmas party on the go!

My work gave us a free sub to the Calm app and I actually really enjoyed it
 
Oh God the dreaded CONSULTANTS are coming in at work. TIME TO DUST OFF THAT RETIREMENT SCHEME
 
We get a free sub to Headspace.

The volunteer day is great, I wish my work would give that. Instead I have to use my annual leave up.

Oh we get our birthday day off work!

I don’t actually want to do that at all, because you risk ballache if someone’s birthday is, also, say, their child’s and you can’t let them ever have it off cause you be other person is off.

For a small business, it can be a pain in the arse.

I don’t let anyone have anything off automatically as we are a 365- day a year business. They have to use annual leave to even book Christmas Day off, though I obviously give them the right amount to cover that (and more than statutory, I might add). It also future proofs anyone from a different ethnicity who might not be arsed wanting Christmas Day.
 
We also have a health insurance thing which work pay the basic level, then you can choose to top up if you wish.

Same for me, we're closed Xmas/ boxing/ new year/ easter Sunday. If my working day falls on these then I've got to use annual leave for it.

Again, will probably be prohibitively expensive at this stage for me, but in the long term plan for sure.
 
Mr Ag got me out of my bed rot for a bit of late night shopping, a drink and a burger. It's done me the world of good.

And to look at the WORKFLOW of all things

I AM the fucking WORKFLOW. And what use is a consultant-optimized WORKFLOW if there isn't any WORK?

If I find out who's behind this they're going to get an EARFUL
