I feel tracked enough by the use of my phone, credit cards, car and CCTV. I don't want invasive spyware on my phone, thanks.Each to their own but I don’t get not using the NHS app.
Your employer sounds quite ‘special’.It depends.....
I can tell you that most of my work colleagues aren't using it. At the start everyone did and actively encouraged others to.
The change came about as "cost savings" measures during covid resulted in us now losing shift pay when we are off sick, shift pay separated out from pay so it no longer counts towards pay rises and many more things. Our shift pay is a significant part of our pay.
Then anyone who was off due to covid isolating because they'd been told to by NHS or because actually had covid were treated and subject to normal HR sickness management.
As a result some with kids have had multiple isolations or caught covid.
They've lost significant wages and been hauled through the disciplinery process for their sickness record.
More than ten days off or more than two periods of sickness (regardless of length) in previous 12 mths triggers this.
When challenged on this company response has been "no exceptions".
A new rule was also brought in regarding sickness reporting.
I'm next on shift Saturday. Previously if I knew today I'd be unable to go in due sickness I'd let them know today. As a small unit it can take time to organise cover so we give as much notice as possible. One of us being missing can have a dramatic impact on the company.
This was acknowledged and sickness always counted from the day you were rostered to work.
Now it's counted from the day you make the call.
So using the NHS app, protecting others and how you react very much depends....
Well done, mate. You'll be working till you're about 99 anyway, so you might as well go for it.Went for a job interview today at 12 noon.
Not had an interview for 12+ years.
Guy rang me back approx 16-00 hrs and
offered me the job. Now it's decision time.
I shouldn't really be applying for another job at my age, but i'm pretty chuffed to come 1st out of 89 applicants.
Sorry my mistake at a glance it looked like it was attached to the gutterIt's only a vent. Nothing flows through it at any point.

Not really...Same job'ish, but less political in house bullsh@t...No meetings, no fire safety involvement, no managers pecking ones head...bit further travelling and a £5 grand pay increase, reviewed after 6 months probation then another pay review that could be increased by a further £5 grand.They obviously as mad as the people in present job!
