Faces By Grace #5

Redundancy is 2 wks pay per year you were there. My sister was made redundant during covid after 6 years. It may feel or sound like a lump sum but it’s not at all ! Unless you’re there donkeys years

That’s the law what you described but Airbnb is actually a sound company and paid a bit more than they were obliged to. They also let redundant employees to keep their medical insurance till the end of this year, and let them have travel vouchers as if they worked a full year. The employees get 500 dollars worth Airbnb vouchers every 3 months.
Not of fan of Chris and Grace, but I hope he finds a new job soon, Graces blogger days are coming to an end and they have to children to support

You’d wonder wtf she does all day wouldn’t you ? She’s either having me time , drags kips to the shops and or only ever seems to have one child with her Her days must drag in front of her .

No wonder she has anxiety all the time, she’s no structure or purpose to her days.

I’d love to see something set up on Insta to tell all these brands to stop #gifting #collab #spon #prpackage all these blaggers/influencers. It’s actually turning us off your brand, business, we won’t buy it, shop there or stay there etc. From reading several threads on here it’s the general feeling I’m getting from people. The amount of begging & #gifted I’ve seen since lockdown is so greedy & disgusting. They should all be ashamed.

She always does this - films one video and splits it into several smaller ones to do her for a few weeks so it seems like she is always flat out working and in turn, gives her substanance for lots of “chill time”.

She puts zero effort into content. Especially paid ones. Doesnt tell us anything about the product - price, availability, how to wear it etc etc you get my drift. Its just a crappy IGTV with a poxy song alongside it and thats it, job done

Doing a video must be real hassle for her, because she is used to just filming stories of her just opening freebies. We are lucky if she is not in her pyjamas and has washed her hair.
I think if she really experienced a rough patch in terms of her mental health, she wouldn’t be posting primary or Tesco ads in the midst of it.
if she struggles for so many years would she not be better off be completely off social media and doing a proper intensive therapy

I really think brands would be better off giving regular customers a good discount for a period of time instead of handing endless freebies to bloggers

 

[Okay!]

If they did pay more than they are obliged to pay then that would be taxed so they definitely wouldn't be coming out with as much as you might think. Unless it's a huge amount it won't get them very far with all they have to pay for.

Redundancy is tax free

no its not tax free.the statuatory part which is capped at €1200 for every year of service is tax free and anything outside of that is taxed.there used to be ways of claiming back some of the tax paid on a redundancy package the following year but that was all done away with a few years ago. redundancy is fine if you’re walking into a new job straight away with a nice lump sum behind you but that lump sum won’t last long if you don’t get another job straight away & need to live off it and pay all the bills.

 

[StopTheMadness1]

Isn’t that strange that Jen should include that in her stories - perhaps she is fed up with lies too

I was thinking the exact same thing. She is really boiling my blood. The f%&king cheek of her, does she think all of her followers are absolute thicks???? She must do.
Grace if your reading this, you should be absolutely ashamed of yourself, suffering with your mental health is not something to use for a few likes or sympathy. There are wards in tallaght hospital,10 minutes from your House where people are STRUGGLING every minute of the day. You said you are taking one day at a time. There are people taking an hour at a time. Or 10 minutes at a time. You wouldn't cope if god forbid you are as low as you are saying. You are disgusting.

I stand corrected. Thats good to know

Redundancy is tax free

Redundancy isn’t tax free I took redundancy in 2013 after working for a company for 10 years I paid a fortune of it in tax

 

[Boredofinfluencergram]

Grace lost 275 followers on Saturday and Sunday alone after her “worst breakdown ever”. She needs to realise she’s not a mental health guru and she needs to stop trying to be. I saw Roz Purcell had a post up about how she wasn’t having a good day and just wanted to remind people that those days are normal too. No big fuss, no big drama. Just being honest about how she has her down days too her, much like everyone else. I thought it was very nicely put. I find a lot of bloggers do it this way. It’s an aspect to their page rather than the source of content. Contrast to grace who comes on moaning every other day when she’s expected to adult. Her followers can’t relate to her and she’s losing nearly 2000 a month as a result.

 

[Rosehip33]

That’s hardly today it’s Baltic! And her tan is so bad!

She's a St tropez brand ambassador

You'd think they'd check she can apply fake tan before offering the role.

 

[Okay!]

Statutory redundancy is tax free but if they pay you more than that then it is taxed. So everyone is right in one sense.

Yeah I like Roz lately, unfollowed grace today just have no interest in her never really did though

 

[Mona86]

Unfollowed Grace today too

 

[Seeemm]

I’d say her Multiple ‘panic attacks’ a day are self diagnosed because there’s no way you’d be able to to film yourself describing how bad it is and post it on stories after one. Like someone said earlier you literally feel like you’re dying and it takes all the energy out of you. I think she probably just has regular old ‘nerves’ like most people do but she likes being mollycoddled and commended on how well she’s coping by telling everyone they’re panic attacks. I think she doesn’t want to cope with real life responsibilities so now she’s clinging onto the wellness, zen, incense and crystals thing as a way to ignore reality. Krisps must feel like he has a third child.

From what she’s said, I think her panic attacks are meltdowns. Basically she bursts out crying and calls it a panic attack...

 

[Carolebaskinsfurrball]

Her problem is the fact real life isn’t matching her illusions. She’s the spoilt child so when she comes in the pecking order now upsets her.

Ah I see. It was a possibility for me recently so I had been doing a little online research but obviously not deep enough. Ya learn something new everyday

 

[Kswiss2020]

I understand everyone’s MH issues are different, of course. But from someone who’s seen a therapist every week for the last 6 years , I just personally feel drained after a session and the last thing I want to do is take a selfie let alone post it for the world to see. My therapist always says, go home take a bath watch tv or read but stay off your phone.
I have bad anxiety but it’s not crippling, and you have to have methods to cope with it, if I wasn’t getting any better at managing it, I’d be changing my therapist. Each to their own, but I can’t relate to her ‘issues’ as I can’t imagine being able to just switch like that.

 

[LongTimeLurker84]

Real question.. Is there anyone that we could contact in regard to her exploiting MH. Yes everyone is different but she can't keep up with this pretense. Her young followers who could be truly suffering are seeing Jackle and Hyde. Adding pressure to them as they see her 'bouncing' back within a blink of an eye. She is supposed to be some sort of inspiration for her followers. I really really hope anyone one who is truly suffering, sees that this behaviour is not normal, this is not how MH should be portrayed. You can't be at rock bottom then out dining within hours a total different person. My heart hurts for anyone looking up to her. She is a shameful, deceitful, sly, self centered, uneducated person. She has NO right to do what she is doing. Shame on you Grace & for those encouraging her, I hope you re think what she's portraying to younger followers. Imagine if 1 person who may be suffering wishes they could be like Grace, who seems to miraculously recover and then they doubt themselves even more! No need to say what way that could end but by Jesus Grace, enough is enough. I'm livid at your smug face, laughing like you've not a care in the world. FORGIVE ME, it takes a lot to rattle me BUT Grace, God wasted an mole putting teeth in your mouth

I do agree with you mostly about how much she plays up her mental health problems but just one thing slightly problematic in your comment and if she is suffering with anxiety is that, you 100% can be rock bottom and then back out hours later like a different person. I suffer really awfully with anxiety and on my bad days I can't get out of bed but on other days I can have moments of both. There's been mornings I wake up and literally cannot function but that evening I can be out with friends who would be none the wiser. Over the whole of December I was really struggling and did not want to be alive at all and my friends when I told them recently were shocked because I'd be completely normal with them. While I understand and agree with you that her content could be damaging to younger followers who don't bounce back as quick and wonder what's wrong, mental health is a spectrum and just because someone is anxious/depressed/whatever doesn't mean they have to be glum always which is a common misconception.
The one thing I have a slight issue with is how much on her off days she can be on her phone and speaking about it all so rationally because believe me when I'm in the midst of anxiety attacks or feeling bad, I can't do anything/speak to anyone.

I understand everyone’s MH issues are different, of course. But from someone who’s seen a therapist every week for the last 6 years , I just personally feel drained after a session and the last thing I want to do is take a selfie let alone post it for the world to see. My therapist always says, go home take a bath watch tv or read but stay off your phone.

This is kind of what I'm getting at I'd be the same, haven't been seeing my counsellor as long but literally need a sleep after them and sometimes will be quite upset or more anxious so it does baffle me how after therapy she can be so on it.
