My job just said I need to attend 8 training sessions on anti racism, on Mondays or Fridays 10am-1AM. And we will be paid at the training rate which is about 1/3 of our regular rate. What the hell?

The whole idea of a 4 day work week is to work less for the same pay. What are the politicians doing? Implementing a 4 day work week with the SAME FUCKING HOURS.

The problem started with the advert itself – the title stated “'Head of Sales”, the description was more of a technical role with a salesy element and that was what I was looking to do. I love nerding out, so that was ideal. I prepared like fuck – 2 pages of questions and talking points, I read articles, all of it. The interview is a face to face with the Chief Commercial Officer. The CCO, however, thinks he's interviewing for a more senior role. When he realises his HR team fucked up, does he then pivot and interview me for the role I was actually applying for, given he's the ultimate decision maker anyway? Does he fuck.
