I don't understand a lot about this conflict but surely there can be no justification for this. Those poor people

Better than last week in that I feel almost back to normal. Never had a chest infection before (that wasn't Covid) but it was like being hit by a truck, wonder if having had Covid twice makes me more susceptible to these things now. Or maybe I'm just getting older.

I will know if I have a future at my work by the end of the week which is slightly nerve wracking. My job is safe but due to the restructure my salary is protected only until April, when it decreases by a fair bit. I am handing my notice in after Christmas if management don't agree to keep my salary at the same level as I've worked too long and hard there to be treated like shit salary wise. Hoping it won't come to that but we'll see. Meeting management this week and making my case as it's budget time.

Done!

I respect your policy above but you may run into declining response rate in the long term without some kind of feedback, as there will be a 'what is the point' feeling. I may be wrong of course (and hope I am!), just something I've seen at work. I completely get your reasoning though.

That must be incredibly frustrating, but it's also good to see the anaesthetists take their job so seriously. Hope you don't have to wait too long

Thanks for posting, it's really interesting to see what goes into running something like this.

Chucked a bit into the pot. It's not a lot but I want to contribute where I can.

We have the phrase 'every Tom, Dick and Harry' which is like that (UK)

If we're talking about a generic person it's usually Mr/s Smith or Mr/s Jones (near Wales)

This will have an impact on journalists who use Twitter to get tips for reporting. Seen some who were concerned this would happen

Great news, this is exactly what Oxford Street needs if it wants to keep it a decent shopping destination. Last time I went I saw way too many closed shops and dodgy American sweetshops

Not on your instance but it's so good to see unequivocal inclusion and support for the trans community. There should be no room for bigotry of any kind.

More folk than you'd think! We had an influx of Reddit folk recently (wasn't expecting them to be embraced as much as they have been, nice to see)

Ah I thought it was just me! Couldn't log in for a good couple of hours (which was good really as it made me do my work ha)

I like the name as it conjures up a cute image of a bee in a little cowboy hat. The icons are nice too, I like the consistency. More generally, I like that there's no tolerance for trolls here, people are generally friendly and it feels like it's easy to comment without worrying about the replies you might get. Plus it's transparent - I like the fact the admins post updates on bugs, finances, etc.

I'm on Lemmy.world as well and it feels slightly more like the old place in comparison.
