You set a time limit, e.g. 2 years to build or planning permission is revoked. It's not hard to understand, except for someone like you. Also, most builders don't directly employ a lot of tradesmen. They use contractors or subbies, and drop them as soon as there is a downturn.
I make no judgement in this case, but I do feel that the government needs to grow a pair and stop worrying about whether they're love or hated on social media. If something important is needed infrastructure-wise, then unless the nimby's concerns are very real and valid, they should grant the permission. Far too much pandering nowadays.
You'll probably find it wasn't contractual. Hewlett Packard had similar enhanced redundancy terms in the UK, but it was entirely at their discretion and not contractual. I believe IBM UK used the threat of reducing the enhanced redundancy terms as a way to get rid of those reluctant to take VR, a few years back.
A tiny 1 bedroom flat, with ground rent and service charge (amounts conveniently not mentioned), only 67 years lease left, plus it's in Redcar. Hardly a bargain, you fool.
I agree, that's not a great question. Too specific. But something along the lines of "How much do you know about our company?" is OK - if a candidate gives a coherent and concise answer that's a good start.
Yes, job interviews can be stressful, but regardless of age, if you can't be arsed to research a potential employer then you are setting yourself up to fail. With the internet, it's very easy to get the information, there's no excuse.
TBH, isn't most major Christmas spending now done in November? That's when most of the "deals" seemed to appear, it was like a month long "Black Friday". How do the November figures stack up?
I agree EV's are the way things are going, for some good reasons. However, I'd be interested to see the prices at these chargers - the ones at service stations that I've seen work out more expensive than petrol or diesel.
