The advice thread for random problems #7

Do you have a recordable box?. I rarely watch terrestrial TV but unbeknownst to me I had series linked TOTP2, the box carried on quietly recording eleven billion episodes, got full and took out everything .

Otherwise second check for updates.

I don't no, I actually don't watch TV, I mainly game an if am not then it's streaming services on the TVs apps like YouTube or Netflix I'll have on, there's no aerial ever been hooked up to it, only the pc an consoles are hooked to it

I've checked for update an it's saying everything is fully up to date, so done a factory reset an redownloaded everything, it's not even giving me a pop up telling me what's causing it like how you would get if a pc crashed

But honestly that's insane yours had been recording like that

I’m not asking for advice as such but is it just me who thinks it’s distasteful for our manager/head to joke about being broke when she earns double our wage which is well above the average salary and she knows we don’t earn like she does. I don’t know what she wanted us to respond to that. So strange and then it’s awkward when everyone goes silent yet a couple of weeks ago was boasting about how many properties she owns. So disingenuous.

I would call her out on it. I work in an industry where the main workforce (including me) get slightly above minimum wage. The management team are on 4 times that, and if one of them told me they were broke, I’d tell them they need money management lessons asap.

I won't tell them to take money management lessons. I'd tell them my wage and to survive on that for three months

Maybe it's me but I'd need to petty an embarrass her like "well maybe cancel your dildo subscriptions for lonely woman" or something

I get people earn different amounts but when people are on a higher wage than others an know this an then come out with things like that, it almost comes across like an intended gloat in order to flex but disguised as a joke

It’s bloody rude and absolutely disrespectful to the workforce.

Very early on in my career I was in a meeting with my Manager, a colleague and a family from our local community we were trying to support. This family didnt have 2 pennies to rub together and my Manager was talking away about her v expensive holiday. After the meeting colleague went ballistic with Manager and told her she should know better.
It never ceases to amaze me how ignorant people are.
