I'm in.

In now

Morning all! Good to see everyone, including RocketPanda

Have we had more resilience bingo wise?

For the bingo card 'the network survived'

Sorry to hear what you're going trough RocketPanda

I was wondering last night whether part of the capacity issue is the amount of work for the clerk(s) as they seem to let people in and out individually and then go through muting us all.

Some git just disconnected me.

CM - Caragh Molloy, Group People Director 2019-23

Starting today

IIRC in the remedies hearing Maya's resilience was used against her in terms of amount to pay out (i.e. she managed to reinvent herself and didn't end up destitute or having a mental breakdown after being illegally fired.....) so really, either way women lose.

It's ridiculous, someone without resilience would not bring a case.

Have you been ID'd by the clerk? If you haven't, they let you in and then disconnect you.

41 in the remote room today.

Morning all 👋

and 5 in the lobby

I thought this too. The fact it didn't all just fizzle out shows how much some men hate women IMO.

Still forever catching up with this tribunal, could not let this pass me by.

I've seen him in other stuff where he was unrecognisable clean shaven and smart of hair. I forget what in, but I remember being surprised when I finally figured out how I knew him.
Assuming he would want the part in the movie? TV series? Play? I think he would do the grooming.

I was ID'd the first day - frightened the crap out of me. Back in the waiting room.

Thank you for the well wishes everyone

Cup Down, no one collecting it.

💐

How many in now? I'm still waiting to be let in.

same

Dodging questions already. They really don't like the word 'discrimination' do they?

Caragh Molloy.
No longer at the OU!

This is mega frustrating. I've been let in on all previous occasions.

If you are still waiting to get in the remote room, ring them.
