General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Presenteeism is such bollocks. If you don't trust me to do the work then I'll work somewhere that does.

It is and it's not even about whether the work is being done well or not, it's about showing fealty to your lords and masters. If you want to check the quality of my work and give intelligent and constructive feedback, I actually appreciate that and it helps me to gain confidence and do a better job (regardless of *where* I'm working from).

Granted, based on my experience, it's probably a minority of managers who actually possess the skills to constructively appraise someone's work, so for most of them, just shut up, keep out of my way and let me get done what needs to be done.
