lads, which is quicker to claiom for delayed luggage: insurance or aer lingus?
or do you just claim from both and see which one pays out first?
A man well in his forties was flying out of Dublin today using a trunki - he had no children accompanying him.

Do you wear leisure clothing when travelling on business, regardless of whether meetings are scheduled that day?
J Crew stretch tech chinos are a game changer
Iād often head straight from a reformer Pilates to a meeting in them with savage mental clarity and at the same time dressed appropriately

Would you ever wear a suit and an open neck shirt to an international business meeting?
All depends on the client in which you are engaging with
Iāve always struck me as a look that screams after Sunday Mass Kilburn 1983.

Regulator - suit and tie
Client - chinos, shirt, spots jacket
Whilst travelling - never leisure wear because itās for bums
No.
In America youād look like a federal agent and spook the reception staff.
Itās all chinos or dark jeans, shirt or half zip or crew neck jumper and maybe a sports jacket/blazer if erring on side of formality.
Suits are more or less gone now other than youād sometimes see lads wear one to dress up for certain luncheon or dinner events.

Remote interviewed a fella last week for a scrum master (project manager) positionā¦ You should have seen the get up of this fella, worn ould T shirt, half shaven and couldnāt hear him either (no decent headset).
Standards have slipped savagely on the tech side. Spotted a fella in the office last week with a burst pair of ould white runners on him. Cunt probably earning 80k like.

Thereās a serious shift in the mood in the country of late Iāve noticed. People are much more abrasive towards staff merely working in retail outlets, abusing girls or boys about the standard of pears or carrots and then loudly condemning their (staff member) nation of birth.
A gentle inquiry for assistance online is met with a scornful assault or spurious efforts of assistance while tagging their little coterie of like-minded witless cunts that would cause you to despair for your grandchildren.

A growing intolerance and sense of entitlement, coupled with a lack of empathy. Itās bubbling away there alright.

I interviewed an Indian gentleman based in Ireland for a management role a month or so back. It appeared that he wasnāt expecting it to be a video call as when i appeared on the call with my camera on he hastily turned his on. He was sitting on his couch in a hoody with the tv on in the background as I could see it flicker off the pictures behind him.
While he has solid technical knowledge I had to waste 30 minutes going through the motions with him
