Don’t Come, Don’t Live, Don’t Celebrate England

Posted on by T. Maxwell-Harrison

Everywhere but England, please. The economy is in an awful state and is in the process of being ruined. Inflation or just some bloke in a suit telling us what the interest rate is at, and what inflation is at… based on his feelings. They wear wigs, suits, ties, usually expensive shoes too and travel in tax-payers cars, chauffeured from a to b and back again.

Avoid England for these reasons:

  • It’s not England when there’s no culture, or individuality, and is filled with propagandist ******** both left and right and centre. The country is more like a smelly flea market, and it’s extremely obvious in major cities and even smaller towns. The Royal Family do not represent the country well.
  • It is overpriced for an extremely poor quality of both service and product. Taxis being a major rip off in all major cities, expect to pay upwards of £30 for a ten-minute ride. Compare everything like rent, utilities and groceries to places in Europe or even in the Asia and England ranks as the most expensive. Not because everyone is rich, this is rhetoric, it’s because the companies and government are greedy. If you want a 2 bed flat look at over a grand a month, but in a major European city, you’ll pay a lot less, maybe not in Paris though, but in general it’s still cheaper.
  • It’s dirty and in constant state of disrepair. With the exception of government buildings who suck up all the public money on renovating instead of building new homes for people. The mass immigration issue has caused England to resemble India or even Bangladesh in many towns and cities and unsurprisingly all these ‘good’ migrants can’t speak English but somehow work in an English speaking nation. Sorry, but they are dirty and generally have poor hygiene.
  • Education is poor. I see a lot of Chinese students in Manchester, but I can’t figure out why. Most universities offer courses for high prices and usually require an arm and foot to join. But the product – tying nicely with the second bullet point – is terrible. Courses are usually poorly taught using outdated and boring materials. The university themselves have no care in the world, they just want the money. They usually ask students to pay for a lot of extras which should otherwise be included in the price of the course, so it’s very misleading.
  • Most people are narcissistic and rude. The majority of people don’t understand common courtesy nor do they want to. Expect rude English women to be both condescending and ignorant with a flair of self-entitlement, most women are like this in England. Sure, not everyone, but the majority. Expect men to be either drunk or on drugs most of the time, and usually full of self-entitled ego. A lot of younger people aggravate the issue too during massive protests.
  • The food is tasteless and lacks class. There isn’t anything unique about English food, because it doesn’t exist. That’s the truth. You’ll find everything else though like Indian food 🤮, Turkish,🤮Italian, French, even Armenian. English breakfast, nothing unique about it, they sell it worldwide under the same name. There’s nothing unique about eating food in England: I ate an apple from a store, tasty English food, no, tasty apple imported from Spain probably.
  • Public transport is broken, and will never be fixed. That’s enough words for this joke of a system. £100 to travel from Manchester to London? I can fly out to Spain or France for a week for that much.

I encourage everyone considering moving or fleeing here to not bother. You’ll literally have a better quality of life living in Uganda or North Korea. Even Russia, whom England hates because it’s popular now, is doing better. They have cheap natural resources and utilities bills cost next to nothing, along with varied and cheap food. Come on England, you’re letting the side down. I’ve seen the state of places like New York, and even they’re managing things better than England.

Unprofessionalism in the 21st Century: Texts and Social Media Apps.

Posted on by T. Maxwell-Harrison

One thing that strikes me as odd in the recent years is just how unprofessional a lot of companies and employees are to people that have applied to work with them.

  • Unsolicited phone calls from a company you don’t know but might have show interest in. Really?
  • Text messages from companies who would like you to phone them? What a joke!
  • In some cases they haven’t made any contact via email – usually the most formal and polite way – but simply text that you should call or use WhatsApp to contact them. FML.

Seriously? As someone who expects companies and their employees to work at a somewhat professional level, I also expect them to make an effort to email first. But then again, today we see all sorts of bullshit going on in the workplace.

  • Dressing like their at a girls tea party and it’s just another place to ‘chill out’… yeah, and stinks of incompetence, which they are for the most part.
  • Lack of manners and social skills. Why work in the first place if you don’t want to interact with people?
  • Use of mobile phones and other personal devices within the office space and when clients are present.
  • Attempting to shift the blame for incompetence over to the customer. This applies not only to corporations but many public services as well, such as the highly privatised NHS and rail network.

I don’t consider a company professional if the only attempt at contact is a text or unsolicited call. Email is and should always be the first port of call to potential candidates, and to clients. The exceptions exist, and include the need to converse over applications like Skype for long distance calls for example. There are also a number of online meeting applications one could use for this.

Has the way companies operate over the years changed significantly? Yes. Is this in part to social and ideological ideas and a general sense of entitlement? Yes. What is left when a company advertises a job, and requires you to use Whatsapp or similar to communicate with them? You don’t know them, they don’t know you, and using an app is like becoming ones friend in an instant without really thinking about it.

Do you think I’m overreacting? Is this unprofessional? I stand by my words. This doesn’t seem like a good trend, and everyday we are closer to becoming obsolete as computers and androids take over the work space. Peace.
