    2 Jobs - tax handling and taking of dividends

    Hello, and I apologise that this might sound like a really dumb question, but I need exact advice (and yes I am going to speak with a tax advisor on this too - but not my accountant, they've given me a bum steer on so many things). Anyway, here goes. I have 2 jobs, one full time one paying 80k...

    Is it because youre attcking jelly that refuses to be nailed to a wall? To answer the question above about what my ask here is, it is this - what are my rights here against what the gov.uk website states. What it says is not law, it is guidance, Cyndy and a few others cleared up that i am not am...

    You make an excellent point on gardening leave. Put yourself in my position. I was blamed for the shortcomings of a v1.0 product that was the first of its kind anywhere to be commercially deployed (I did not know that, the confidence with which they told me that this was ready to go was...

    £200/hr is why you do that… Psycho barista is something I would like to see…

    That’s not nasty. I get what you’re saying and please accept my apologies. If you want to see what nasty looks like, try being crossed examined by a psychotic barrister when you are representing government and therefore by definition “the bad guy” - they don’t pay you enough to weather that sort...

    The money is not the issue. I am well paid for my work and am grateful that I am where I am. Working up the front end of brand new technology has me like a kid in a candy store. The point you make about the agency loving me however is difficult - on the one hand you suggest to be (and correct me...

    Why bother even posting nonsense like this up here unless you were just asking for some equal degree of nonsense back. Or your woke mate Jeremy who struggles a bit with English was egging you on. if you’re going to post something here, stick to the point, not just randomly attack someone who you...

    You nailed it. You’re not there for your glowing personality, save that for the BBQ with your mates. You are there to deliver, so keep your head down and do exactly that. And pray that St. Shenanigans doesn’t single you out for a prank or two. I know many people who fit the description you make...

    I've had a conversation along those lines with the agency. Only wrinkle is that I dont want to push too hard on that - as I want more business with the agent and the agent and I get along pretty well. But even said to me that what they did is just plain nasty - listening to one side of the...

    It contains clauses under which they can dismiss me immediately for. Comes under pretty standard "gross misconduct" definitions. I did not trigger any. But looking at what both yourself and Cyndy above say - I'm not an employee, and therefore do any of those clauses have any effect anyway. Under...

    I'm sorry but do you know me? Maybe put a mirror on yourself and ask what this narrow definition of racism is that you need to beat in to other people. I'm not from the UK, and I have lived overseas and away from my home culture for more than 20 years. I grew up predominantly with the indigenous...

    Lucan.... shhhh. Don't tempt him.

    Yeah, trying. Judging by the comments, without much success. TBH I worked many hours with the guy to help get him up to speed, and have told him he's welcome to call me any time after I am gone if he deems it appropriate, to get any piece of knowledge I have that may help him. It felt to me...

    As an expert witness for government Cyndy, I work with my senior legal to push buttons and extract all kinds of snippets of info that we may have overlooked. In all 35 or so cases I've been on the winning side every time. You've done well. Now can we kill it.
