I am seriously uncreative the day after watching us lose - people should have more sympathy

[Monty91]

though, shouldn't they?

[Berni]

the “field of menstruality”' or the fact that the company is called 'Coexist' and predominantly employs women.

[Berni]

You don't get time off for your normal biology doing its normal biological thing, I'm afraid.

[7evens]

nightmare scenario tbh.
I wish this was an excruciating generalisation but it really isn't. Women don't appear to need much encouragement to f**king hate each other..

bleedingfannyitis?

[Brentwood]

I'll give them 6 months before they go bust

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Ladies who are on the blob are rarely 'doubled up in pain', in my experience. A couple of nurofen and a cup of tea is the way forward here.

[Berni]

But, faced with the situation, I would almost certainly insist that, if she's suffering period pains that are genuinely debilitating, that she goes to a doctor, since that isn't normal.

[barrybueno]

Days off for periods, months of for babies, I'm surprised anyone wants to employ these c**ts. No wonder they don't get equality in wages, the stoopid slags!

[Monty91]

I knew you weren’t a monster really :cloud9:

[Luis Anaconda]

than pulling together like sisters should in my experience 7. Most of the fallings out I have witnessed have been between women who were previously friend

[Brentwood]

but the result will be that companies are put off from hiring women altogether. I mean, the candidate has to be pretty damn incredible for a small company to hire them if they have to take into account absence through maternity leave, and now monthly rag week leave

[Berni]

pay, making them take it as holiday and - if need be - make it a disciplinary matter.

The point is that it isn't fair on other employees and sets a bad example.

I was reading that earlier on here http://www.hrgrapevine.com/markets/hr/article/2016-03-02-com pany-to-implement-period-leave-in-attempt-to-improve-product ivity (http://www.hrgrapevine.com/markets/hr/article/2016-03-02-company-to-implement-period-leave-in-attempt-to-improve-productivity)

whatever next..?

[Brentwood]

A woman only spends an average of about 15 quid a year on the things

[Monty91]

through seeking medical advice, I'm sure you wouldn't be as harsh on them as you suggest.

[Berni]

I take it you are a trained educator in "the field of menstruality"?

greater or lesser extent).

perhaps the boss in question in Bristol should embrace her own menstrual cycle to adapt her month-round behaviour and http://www.hrgrapevine.com/markets/hr/article/2016-03-02-stu dy-consistently-rude-bosses-make-for-happier-employees (http://www.hrgrapevine.com/markets/hr/article/2016-03-02-study-consistently-rude-bosses-make-for-happier-employees)

You know, the one where you have a tranny demanding time off for sympathy mensturation.

It's almost as if you guys arent #periodpositive

[Jake]

How would you take it?

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Pretend they are one of these new fangled gender freak things and claim they feel the pain.

God help the narrow minded f**ker tells them to f**k off.

punishing us by banging on about it? :cry:

[Classic Jorge]

[Berni]

[IUFG]

you can take an absence due to menstruation every month and it not count towards your absences - sort of thing.

I wonder how the pain level / threshold is objectively calculated.

f**k you, wheely, dont give me that look, I have debilitating period pains!

[Berni]

before driving home, for another it's usually the only one that doesn't look like something Mad Max would regard as uncivilised and and for another we don't have any actual disableds in the entire building, so I don't have to feel guilty.

Also, there are loads of handgrips everywhere and my knees aren't what they were.

[IUFG]

by that I mean use all the currently available, legal excuses not to be at work

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Yes I am.

I couldn't think of anything else to say.

The jacks are up about 20 steps, the ripple ones obviously none. There really is no decision to make for your average boy about town suave Irishman.

Then came the knocking on the door!
