welshbairn Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Quote Labour’s promise to the business community includes scrapping business rates and more public investment in sectors like the green economy. Reeves also announced a range of proposed policies designed to help startups and small businesses, including greater independence for the British Business Bank to invest in fast-growing companies. “The French are starting to eat our lunch when it comes to investing in startups,” she said. “I want us to get a slice of that action.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowsdower Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 During a presentation to the the entirety of my organizations leadership, someone stuck a word cloud in the background of the first slide, which contained multiple variations of the word f**k on it. Not deliberately. It has broken me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdcal Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Was in a meeting with a client about zoning up our customer services response times and call handling. We had 3 missed calls during this meeting, 2 of which complained to the client who forwarded on with all cc'd in regarding it. Still awaiting the response to my email with a screen cap of the call times and a screen cap of my calendar with the meeting showing all available staff on said call. The other moan was the bounce back email giving 3 working weeks for a response, again I don't think they appreciated me showing the dates their 3rd party are providing important factors to be used for the month being nearly the 3 working weeks into the month and the explanation that we can't go quicker without this and they are pointing their ire at the wrong place as we are only trying to manage the expectations of the response.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
