People who have an iPhone and or an IPad and cant refer to them in any other way.........  "Is that my iPhone 10 ringing?"  -   "I was watching porn last night on my IPad 6" just fecking call them a phone or a tablet.  

I have an iPhone, iPad, and iMac. I refer to the phone simply as my phone, no need to bring the manufacturer into it. For example, ‘can’t find my phone’.... my iPad I never refer to as a ‘tablet’. For example ‘can’t find my iPad’.... my iMac I simply refer to as ‘the computer’. For example ‘can’t find the computer’.... to which Mrs Poz always replies ‘it’s still in the wee bedroom up the stairs that we use as a study and storage room, it’s been there for years, you daft p***k’.

So, for me, it’s ‘phone’, ‘iPad’, and ‘computer’.

I’m late to this conversation but the reason employers have to have policies and standards is to protect themselves against legal action. If you were best mates with your manager and they let you off with a few dodgy sick days but someone in another department was binned for the same the they’d be able to point to that if they took the company to court. The whole thing is a hoop jumping exercise.

I worked with a woman who was let go because of her sickness record. She had severe mental health problems and in the four years I worked with her she was probably in the office a total of eight or nine months. The process as I understand it is that the firm has to show they had given her every chance, they had tried to accommodate her and they had her examined by occupational health doctors. She went to a lawyer who basically said she didn’t have a leg to stand on. The company offered a pay off, effectively redundancy and she took it. She died a few months later, really tragic, extremely sad.

Would that not count as a severe health problem?

I can only use in-ear earphones, and I'm certainly not using wireless  versions of them. I'd be constantly paranoid about them falling out, and I'd look like even more of a twat than I already do.

Why can you only use in ear ones, and why would wireless ones be more liable to fall out than wired ones?

I don't like things covering my ears, and if wireless ones were to fall out I might not be able to catch them.

This isn't to mention that if I'm out and have earphones in I use my old Nokia phone which doesn't have any wireless capability, so it's a moot point.
