Yeah , 53 years young , north of 50 you don’t shout about it to much lol . But the awesome painting was worth a post , it’s a big’un as well , approximately 1meter sq . Print on canvas, then hand finished, from the pyramid topper it’s from 2015 which was my first year . I’m a very lucky man 

Happy birthday!! We're very nearly 10 years exactly apart. My birthday on Sunday was my 43rd. An Alice Hartfield!! Lucky guy.

Well that was a truly shite day at work . Let’s hope I can lift my spirits by helping to get you guys tickets for next year on the hallowed Somerset fields 

Aw no you have my sympathies I've had a fair few of those myself this year!! Hope tomorrow is better.

Cheers GP , all though I suspect tomorrow will be worse 😞

Oh no!! Hope it's not as bad as you think. I've been living with a bit of a shitshow at work for months so know what it's like. Mine has gotten slightly better recently so hopefully that's a way of knowing that there is usually light at the end of the tunnel even if sometimes it feels like it's totally black. 

Is it just workload,  workplace politics or both?? 

[vintagelaureate]

Sorry to hear that @Big durbs, I hope you're okay mate - it doesn't feel right when you're not! 

Take care.

Cheers buddy , after 26 years I could honestly take another jib given half a chance, especially as us working are working bloody hard to keep the company running for those on furlough to come back too , long hours unpaid of course 

All the best big d ... give me a shout if u need someone to rant to

Long story short , my ex md sold the company in feb , new bosses are keeping more of a eye on the bottom line rather than staff , just out of 20% pay cut , thinking we were now at 100% ( those of us that are still working and not furloughed) then got a email at 17:28 saying more pay cuts ffs . Starting from 1st July .... hmmmmm a bit late to tell us when we have been working for three weeks thinking and planning for a 100% pay slip . So angry..... grrrrrrrrrrr

 

That's shit. Check whether legally they can do that. ACAS helpline is usually pretty good for advice.

Cheers Welly Boot..was slightly better today , told them i am not willing to take the further cut ..

Good for you. Things are hard enough at the moment, they should be more appreciative. 

I know how you feel as I've been working all the way thru this and we've dragged ourselves in every day and you don't get any thanks or anything. There isn't a lot of support and its sad really. We've been let down the way we've been treated when all we've tried to do is our best. Sounds like its the same at your place. 

I know its easier said than done, but try not to let it get you down. Lots of love to you and Mrs D xxx❤❤

Good on you. If it's a smaller business and you can see them selling their stuff to fund things etc it's one thing but I think some businesses do try and take the piss whilst all those at the top completely maintain their own lifestyle.

That’s so close to the truth it’s scary lol .

thanks guys for you support and comfort, been a bit of a big girls blouse the last few days for which I can only apologise.

back to the normal Big D , positive and happy, if i waiver then feel free to give me a slap lol

cheers guys 🙂 

Oh believe me it's happening at my work as well!! Our multi-millionaire boss sends missives from his tax haven home about us all being in it together that don't quite ring true!!

My boss is flying up to St. Andrews with the sales director for three days of golf on the same day he sent the email, apparently decided to go to play golf because he forgot to put the heating on for his outside pool , he did remember to turn on the inside pool though , tough life eh ! 

Yep don't know how these people live with themselves. I suppose they say psychopathy is high amongst this group of people and that probably helps them. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night (I'm not the best sleeper without screwing people over like that). Hope now you have taken a stand it actually helps. I sometimes people like that actually respect the ones who stand up to them more in the end.

Sht that'll fly by in no time. One thing I have to say considering we've done nothing this year it still seems to be flying by!!

[Crazyfool01]

August is the time for the resale crew to spring back to life ... I really need to be focusing on something positive right now 

[Crazyfool01]

What’s people’s thoughts on when we get a decision on group sizes for resale ? 1 month to go ?

Early September I reckon. It's hard to believe it will be August in a few days and only 2 months away from T-day!

Yep that’s my thoughts now ... just gives enough time for them to have some idea how many tickets back in ... and for us to prepare our groups ready .... always a quick run from festival to resale ...
