I'd love to see someone challenge the apprentice wage.
Maybe space squigg reported a missing person as there has been no unboxing yet!
Jack wouldn't get out of bed for Ā£9.50 an hour. A 5 minute pundit interview on BBC is a Ā£75 appearance fee. Isn't that like Ā£900 an hour?! Big Maffs.
Obviously this isn't true, but does she not think before she tells these lies about how arse-invertingly cringe they are? How tokenistic to imply that the reason people get to know estates staff is so that they're prepped for a promotion.Oh my Christ Jack. If this is true (it isnāt) you would bet your last penny your beloved union would have something to say about it.
I am just imagining an internal interview where I ask them to name our cleaning teamAnd then the feedback on why they failed. Sheās been on the j1g.
The compulsive lying to go bigger and better is getting worse!

I know the lady who cleans the floor my office is on. We complain about my colleague next door because his office is a pigsty, and we have a chat every now-and-then if I've brought my dog in with me because she likes to come in and see the dog. I wouldn't dream of telling my department head about her holiday to Spain in order to get a promotion because that's deranged.
The fact that Jack is basically agreeing that the pay issue has been completely ignored until she came along is infuriating.
Itās part of her overall arrogance that sheās only one doing anything.
Reports to the rspca were not false, shame they didnāt investigate
Just back from my mini break, and I see she's still on her bullshit.
I work closely with local police and social services professionally. If the Police have done a welfare check, it is more likely to be someone reporting a concern for her wellbeing - this sometimes arises out of a report of potential violence/serious arguments from neighbours, or checking up on someone who is known to be vulnerable (e.g. serious MH/alcohol/drug dependency).
They take this particularly seriously if there is a child or dependent in the house with the person causing concern.
As ever, she will have taken something which has a scintilla of truth, and twisted it into a story with her as the hero. In fact, if you unpick it, it suggests that she is seriously unwell/at risk. Something which people here have been pointing out for weeks.

So PQA is the standard competency-based interview. Meaning there is no way they would ask you to name staff as thatās not in the Job Spec is it? Anyway what if I tell you Bob the cleaner has a secret love child and Doris has gambling debts. How you gonna check?
The lord's *sex* work?
If I know anything about bungalow design, itās that the kitchen is the new office; the hallway is the new bedroom; the bedroom is the new bathroom; ergo, the rug is in the new kitchen in the bathroom. Thereās nothing better than having a slice of toast from the non-existent toaster, dripping with lard as she canāt afford butter, while sitting on the loo and Tweeting some made-up tit about the police checking on her welfare
It is infuriating. Also itās just laughable that she thinks her kicking off on twitter will make more of a difference than investors with Ā£2.2 trillion in assetsā¦
She'll be wearing it next week as a potato sack dress. So gauche, pal.
I wonder if Deliciously Ella will be in on the #bigmeeting ( this isnāt THE big meeting btw, which I am fully expecting Jack at in July- to march with the unions and shout with Jezza).
This is such a good point
I have a simple solution for my company, I tell them to pay at least living wage at 23+ otherwise they wonāt get anyone for the apprenticeship anyway. It works for me!
āSo DisgruntledGoat, tell us the names and factoids about two of the cleaners who, in this instance, weāre using as some kind of bizarre, classist propā
āWell, Mike once gave me a Mars Bar for logging into his imprisoned sonās Facebook to write a post telling his pals heād been sent down, and Sheila once said that the chief exec looked like the mum from the Wild Thornberriesā*
*both actual interactions Iāve had in workplaces past.
Iāve always got on dead well with techies and cleaners and maintenance and security wherever Iāve worked because Iām chatty and to be quite honest theyāre always the people with the best goss and who can get tit done for you when youāve fucked up and forgotten/lost/broken something. They have a very particular type of power in workplaces. HOWEVER, the key identifier of success in the vast majority of workplaces is class, social capital and - in the fire service at least - being part of the secret handshake club. Jack can pretend as hard as she likes that Big Dave the Marxist insisted on doing a Mr Burns and asking how Bart, Lisa, and Expecting are doing or whatever, but itās just performative nonsense coming from a wanker in a five bed detached pretending that itās essential criteria for promotion.

The power comes from knowing where the source of the blue roll is.
This is Jack all over, sheās spent five minutes reading something in the Graun and now decided sheās a literal expert at it - and this week apparently itās employment law.
Surely she will realise people on her feed will work in this field and know she is talking absolute bullshit, as well as people on here with the diverse backgrounds we all have.
She absolutely doesnāt have a clue about the first thing to do with it. I work in HR and Iāve spent years getting to a competent level where I can interview and do all of the not so nice parts of HR. Thinking Jack can just walk in and tell such brazen lies is ridiculous.
