Plus they look lovely.

@[email protected] I just wanted to say I appreciate the effort you put into the titles of these posts. Often they make me laugh more than the comic itself.

Some interesting and relevant comments from the article:

Despite this bleak outlook, some do point out that the picture still looks far rosier than it did before the Paris deal, when a catastrophic temperature rise of 4C or more was foreseeable. Cheap and abundant clean energy is growing at a rapid pace, with peak oil demand expected by the end of this decade.

“Meetings like these are often perceived as talking shops,” said Alexander De Croo, the Belgian prime minister, at the Cop29 summit. “And yes, these strenuous negotiations are far from perfect. But if you compare climate policy now to a decade ago, we are in a different world.”

… every fraction of a degree is worth fighting for. If we can’t achieve 1.5C, it will be better to get 1.6C than 1.7C, which will be better than getting 2C or more.

That last one is particularly important, I think, as people can often be too quick to jump on the Doomer train and confidently state that as 1.5C is unachievable it’s all pointless and we should just give up.

Don’t forget you have to de-stone them as well.

Exactly what I was thinking!

As if that wank clown would even bother to turn up…

Shiny and chrome!!!

What does it say at the bottom? ‘Haroc Be’?

Huh, well spotted!

How does it affect maintenance of the track? I’d have thought it would require more?

Poor trees :(

I don’t see anything in the article mentioning the UK or France, only the US? Am I missing something?

Also, some of the comments to that article are… really something

I definitely don’t want Ukraine a burden further upon my taxes, nor the council sticking up Ukrainian flags on civic buildings, daft totally. I’m not interested in Ukraine as part of EU, or NATO, not impressed with Zelensky and his begging bowl any further. Good riddance to him and his arrogance, should he ever be replaced.

Have you ever fired two guns whilst jumping through the air?

It’s fashionable to have swords deflect up into my jugular!

About bloody time. Hopefully this will encourage other countries to do the same.

Stay positive, friend!

I mean it doesn’t sound like they’re seeking ‘extra’ work, because Anon is not doing any work at all. I’d argue there’s a difference between ‘extra work’ and ‘any work’.

They’re not meeting expectations either because the expectation for their role is unlikely to be ‘doing fuck all’, the expectation is doing whatever job is outlined in their JD, which they’re demonstrably not.

Again, I don’t really care either way. Do what you can get away with, but be cognisant of the risks, and how that might affect your future employability otherwise you may find yourself doing nothing because you don’t have a job at all.

Duh, they’re butthurt they fucked up, but also who cares if they’re sympathetic?

If you want to keep the job, you should.

Look, if this works for OP and others, great. More power to them. But the reality is that, in most situations this isn’t going to end up with the whole office applauding you for gaming the system and ‘sticking it to the man’ all whilst your manager looks on dispondantly from the background. It’s going to result in a lot of uncomfortable discussions with HR and you potentially losing your job, or at the very least be given a written warning. If that’s not a problem then great.

If your employee can go months doing nothing then you’re a shite boss who’s even worse than that employee, frankly

Sure, but that doesn’t mean that the employee is not culpable as well. They have a responsibility to inform their line manager that they have no work to do. If the manager still does nothing, then great, enjoy the free time. But they should at least try. Your company expects you to be working in exchange for payment. I’ve seen situations where someone taking money for work they were knowingly not doing was accused of fraud. Maybe that sticks in court, maybe it doesn’t, but is it worth the hassle to find out?

I’m from the UK. In most working environments there is an expectation of maturity and responsibility. If you don’t have enough work to do there is an expectation that you, as an employee, are responsible and mature enough to ask your manager for more as ultimately that is what you’re being paid to do - work, whether you like that or not. If you have nothing to do, and deliberately do nothing about that then your employer has reasonable grounds to at least raise this as an issue. If you’re not seen as a someone who takes their job seriously, then you may find yourself looking for a new one if your department needs to downsize, for example.

Also, regardless of whether your manager should’ve known or not, that doesn’t mean your not also at fault for not telling them. If you tell them, and nothing changes, then that’s a different story entirely.

Let me put it this way: if your manager turned around and asked what you’ve been doing for the last X months and your response was ‘nothing’ and then tried to pass that off as their fault, I wouldn’t imagine many employers would be too sympathetic to your arguments.
