The thing is, and admittedly I say this without truly knowing you, I could see you doing absolutely stellar in a high-pay and high-responsibility role.

They seem to agree too, as they're happy to have me take on the role, just not get the pay or the post. It's like they want me to fill in the shoes but won't give me the boots -_-

[martinuzz]

What reasons do they give you for not being able to raise your paygrade? Obviously it can't be 'we can't afford', since they can afford hiring a new manager drone to oversee you.

[Frumple]

Shit mart, they're getting like three middle managers for the price of one line worker. Why in the world would they want to pay more for that, they've figured out how to get a discount on necessary duties and network with richer fucks at the same time. They're probably pretty sure they've figured out the price point it takes to keep LW there and still dump whatever crap they want to on 'em without causing their drone to leave, so what's their incentive to change?

But yeah, your boss figuring that out and deciding to abuse it is generally a sign it's time to tell the boss "fuck you" and find another job, heh. Probably not quite in that specific order, but yeah. Wage or promotion negotiation is possibly an option, but you have to consider that, y'know, they've already gone and done this shit, mismanaged the workplace badly and tried to heap an extra dollop of exploitation on you along with it -- they're going to keep doing that regardless of if you get a promotion. They clearly don't value you or the business in general, time to stop valuing them

[hector13]

Yeah, they seem to be pretty ridiculous. Why go to the expense of a hiring process and possibly training a new manager, risking a bad fit for the culture of the company in the process,  when they have someone they know can do the job already on staff?

Probably a good time to update your CV.

There are no good billionaires.

Have you tried braising in Worcestershire sauce?

[martinuzz]

Over here, if you are given extra tasks, even moreso when given extra responsibilities that were not mentioned in your original job description, you are entitled by law to get a pay raise, and that can only be refused if the company has legally valid reasons to deny it, like 'we cannot afford that, we'll go into red figures'. Ofcourse, there's still plenty of companies that weasel themselves out of it, or just trust that their average worker doesn't have much legal knowledge and is unaware of their rights.

Possibly the same in the UK. That new manager might just be hired so they can claim you don't have more responsibilities.

Sorry, but while you might expect the meat to be rich and fatty, I hear it is more stringy, tough, and oily. Kinda like duck or goose.

I would suggest using a jaccard on it, very aggressively, then applying a liber helping of salt, and slow roasting it. Preferably still alive.

[MaxTheFox]

Feeling unmotivated today... I should still update my forum game...

[King Zultan]

But what seasonings would go well with long pig if you cooked it the traditional way of roasting it on a spit over a fire?

[Il Palazzo]

Spit roasting requires ample amounts of strong spirits beforehand. Maybe some coke.

[Eric Blank]

Just pour a few liters of spiced rum in and let it soak through the meat before you begin cooking.

Can also replace the innards with sliced pineapple which will help tenderize the meat and add flavor. Pork goes great with pineapple.

I went to my Ping Pong Club today, and I'm still just getting my ass beat by everyone. I've been taking it in stride, but it really is feeling like I've been playing this game every Sunday for months, maybe a year or more, and I'm still just fucking shit and making rudimentary mistakes all the time, my stamina is so shit that I have to take a 10 minute breather on the bench after just warming up. I'm just so frustrated with my utterly shit physical ability and my complete dedication to being a half-assed loser. I'm starting to feel like someone that lives in their head all the time like I do just can't get good at any sport or physical activity.

Even though everyone there is really positive and nice, it just felt like there was a heckler in my head for my entire time at the club. I had to leave early cause I was seriously starting to lose my cool, and I didn't want to look like a sore loser asshole in front of the guys I've been slowly building up a friendship with for what feels like years now.

I haven't seen the comment you're replying to, so I'm imagining Rum Ham.

[Frumple]

Well, they're talking about spitroasting long pig, so I'm pretty sure it's actually describing an increasingly elaborate sexual act, for some reason.

At least they're suggesting to slice the pineapple before putting it inside anyone, which I guess is better than alternatives? Probably.
