    Speaking of which; there's plenty of jobs going in my place all of the time. We were 8 handed when i moved over 2+ years ago, and now we're 60+ and have expanded right across the floor where our offices are situated. We're also opening an office in Barcelona in 2019 and we'll be able to stick about ~100 soldiers in there too!

    You'll get a €2k travel allowance to use heading off wherever you want, a €1600 wellness benefit to use at gyms and looking after yourself. Lots of freebies from time to time like Bose Headphones, Kindle Paperweight, company branded gear, memberships to beach clubs, tickets to see top gigs like Pete Tong (and Faithless this Sunday) and other perks. Not to mention the all expenses paid trip to Cancun in April! Next month, a guy that's been working with me closely in the company for the past 3 years remotely, is making the move with his wife and 2 kids to join up on a full-time gig.

    Might interest some of you looking for a new challenge. Check out our (in need of some love) website and let me know if anything here interests you and i'll be happy to help where I can

      Yeah Flushie, I didn't want to say it as I'm nice but those job descriptions make the company seem like the bastard lovechild of David Brent and Noel Furlong.

        Ha, I don't think those job descriptions are that bad! It's just par for the course trying to recruit those darn millennials, who want to work somewhere cool and won't even respond to old-fashioned job specs. Or so we are led to believe.

        I had to write a job spec today, always fun to fill in this template line:

        "You don’t need to be the Cincinnati Kid to join us, but someone with XXX will fit right in."

        Replace XXX with something boring like actual candidate requirements and what needs to be done day-to-day, you know, what makes work work and what we pay people for!

            Need to replace Cincinnati Kid with something the kids understand! Fortnite streamer or something. There is great value in simply having somebody on your team as a meme creator. If you don't know what a meme is then you need it all the more.

                  lol. No that’s the joke! I own the Nissan Leaf parked behind it.

                  I didn’t get to ask the owner if he bought it on PCP unfortunately as he was just leaving as I arrived back. Looked like a software developer type so he may have been Tars buddy.

                        Yeah I don't like it myself, but it's a HR decision and they think it works well in Malta. They won't be there in a few months anyway because like i said, it's on the 'need some love' list.

                          Hey guys, I recently got given the task of relaunching all the Fitzs weekly tournaments. Details here: http://www.irishpokerboards.com/foru...d.php?t=23901#

                          Starting this Sunday at 7pm with a new round of each tournament. To celebrate and talk about the changes I'll be having a couple of beers on the balcony, feel free to drop in.

                                  €50 a head - we'll go on the honour system

                                  Winner is first team to 15 EPL total goals at the end of a match.

                                  If more than one team reaches it in the same matchweek it will go on -
                                  A) which match was played first
                                  B) minute the 15th goal was scored if matches kicked off at the same time

                                  If your team goes over 15 during a match your next target will be 30.

                                  5 teams not included - Brighton, Watford, Huddersfield, Cardiff & Fulham.

                                  Think that's everything - glgl (sent Flushdraw a pre-randomized list as a neutral observer)

                                    Can’t log into the game at the mo but I’m nearly certain I entered it.

                                    EDIT - Ya it’s in my league list - must be someone else that missed out

                                      Would you not get much more carbon efficiency charging the battery on braking and cruising than pretending your not burning diesel and turf when you plug in for the tiny bit of battery?

Or maybe he's delighted he no longer has health insurance? Or he's a saint who realises that even though he's not gaining at least he can be delighted that the poor corporations that employ him are gaining? Or that pesky red tape stopping his water supply being poisoned is now out of the way?

He never yet considered whether any proposition were true or false, but whether it were convenient for the present minute or company to affirm or deny it; so that if you think fit to refine upon him, by interpreting everything he says, as we do dreams, by the contrary, you are still to seek, and will find yourself equally deceived whether you believe or not: the only remedy is to suppose, that you have heard some inarticulate sounds, without any meaning at all; and besides, that will take off the horror you might be apt to conceive at the oaths, wherewith he perpetually tags both ends of every proposition; although, at the same time, I think he cannot with any justice be taxed with perjury, when he invokes God and Christ, because he hath often fairly given public notice to the world that he believes in neither.

Premier league back so the dubs probably at home watching it and Galway hurling probably taking over the football tbf. They'll be out in force for watch the dubs stroll to a 4 in a row and be on about what great support they have. Yawn.
