@brolls crazy beehatch, still awake?!
-
Ssssh. You’re not legally allowed to talk about compromise agreements ;p they are the best though!
I’d say most are lgbt friendly, but to varying degrees depending on team / involvement with the community etc.
Just find somewhere / something that makes you happy.
For me, after years of struggling with the 9-5 office life, I’ve now come to realise remote contracting is right for me, and I wish I’d started sooner. -
@Brolls Only if the company stipulates it (and even then questionably), mine were too stupid!
Yeah I do freelance and could live off it, but for me doing part-time and freelance is the best of both. Tempted to try Monzo. -
@nate they seem cool. Hard to get into apparently though. But always worth a shot!
Avoid:
KPMG
Cornhill
Poq
I’ve “heard” bad things. -
@nate Yeah I've not done any Go so need to put myself through a crash course. I'm an early adopter and know some of the team, maybe that'll help. I think I can do it, but not really sure what pay to expect which is important for me (although I try not to make it obvious).
Thanks for the tips, although surprised at KPMG. Not that you could comment 😜 -
@nate Wow I mentioned myself in my own comment 🤣
-
@nate less the lgbt, more general satisfaction and handling of staff... even though the guy that headed the lgbt group was a complete narcissistic cunt that tried to grandstand Lenny Henry (yes, that one) by getting shirtless on stage with him.
Or so I heard anyway. -
@Brolls The people that front LGBT in these large companies I don't trust. Fame hungry imo. I just don't want to be shaded for checking grindr.
-
@nate nah. I find most of the fags are secret ones anyway. Once head tale *ahem* of managers having sex in the toilets. But I wouldn’t know anything about that 💅🏻
-
@Brolls Yeah I'm sure there're closeted (cubicle-d?) ones higher up, but the fame ones definitely put up the front. They think equality is a fastpass to $.
I wouldn't wish to shame for doing it in the toilets ;) -
@Brolls WAIT... were you trying to get a promotion 👀 😂
-
@nate haha. Nothing like that. I’m sure whomever was engaged in such behaviour was just bored and enjoyed the fun of it.
-
@Brolls "whomever"
-
@nate I’m classy on and off my knees thank you 😂💅🏻
-
@Brolls I like that haha 🙌
I've just got in from bar* work, a little drunk*!
My last dev employer actually offered me my old job back, but as HR are so awful I said the situation was past that and demanded compensation. A nice payout agreed for me, for not taking it to tribunal 👍
Now for the new job! I thought working the night scene would be fun, but it's not well paid and the freelance I have is but it's hard to juggle the two.
I might have a break or a month or so doing this, then look for another job.
Anyone recommend good companies LGBT friendly in London?
