    Let's talk billboards!

    Thanks everyone, didn't realise we had more posts :) so sorry if it's a bit belated. It looks like we have a majority consensus for the big style billboards then - brand awareness, not useless, just perhaps not appropriate for my scale of operation, I haven't tried email marketing, just...

    Let's talk billboards!

    Thabks everyone for the input so far, I am mulling it over. Billboards might *not* be the answer, but some of the suggestions particularly pistonheads and similar forums might point in a useful direction. The only thing is, I think, and its years since i used pistonheads - it probably is a bit...

    Let's talk billboards!

    Thanks for the responses - I am not *dead set* on billboards, it's more something that jumped out at me as I was musing small business marketing, I am not full of marketing ideas, but thanks for the input. It looks like billboarding has it's place but might be some other avenues to consider. If...

    Let's talk billboards!

    Hi all! Employment issues aside (other thread), I've enjoyed because of my extra time availability a bit of an uplift in my side hustle work which is making me a good income and is better than it has been. It's not enough yet, but it's been considering quite good and I am eyeing up the...

    Neurodiversity and getting people disciplined

    You're fine, it's a perfectly valid discussion point and as it can affect people running businesses it is not something that i have any issue with discussing. I just want to make it clear I don't go around abusing or threatening staff xD I'm actually quite a nice chappie! Some complex things...

    We're wandering a bit - I mean it's a fair conversation but I don't think this applies in my case. Whilst people have said I've been agressive, the company haven't actually been able to provide any examples, in fact one of my appeal points has been in response to the point 'do you acknowledge...

    Neurodiversity and getting people disciplined

    I don't think anyone has an issue with people with a disability being accountable. I think the issue is when it's unfairly biased against them. I'll give you an example of where I feel things go a bit unfair - in my own disciplinary outcome it was found that whilst they acknowledged I needed...

    Should also add that because I have a side hustle that is quite technical and high value service that a lot of people do as a full time business, if I could just be a bit better on my business accumen there's absolutely no need that I would have to even replace the job, I mean I always preferred...

    Neurodiversity and getting people disciplined

    I'm glad you've raised that, I've had the barrister report and it states that whilst an appeal has good grounds, a claim is unlikely to succeed due to not meeting the thresholds required. So might be a case of deciding whether to go it alone, or not to bother - but I do want to digest the...

    Neurodiversity and getting people disciplined

    Thanks, just a quick query on that - because I started early conciliation befor ethe outcome, now we have the outcome, is the deadline to your knowledge extended as a reslt of acts of discrimination continuing? Its likely a moot point as we should file in time anyway, it's a good question...

    Sorry a bit of a delayed response - so yeah to tackle the points: I won't be filling in the ET1 or any of the paperwork myself, as I will instructor my solicitor to do that for fear of making errors and not following process but I am already looking at the form, as I do want to oversee it (bear...

    I never ever got a response, I sent a complaint email and they've sent me a formal complaint letter - they haven't actually acknowledged the reason for the complaint as of yet, they just sent me the forms so I could. I've submitted but heard nothing - because of all that drama I've thrown...

    I am sorry you can't do this. You don't have to. You focus on value but you've intervened a few times so far and I can't see any? I don't want to be accusative here, it's just lets start this at home - I know this aint your type of thread, and I know you don't see the point. That is fab for...
