Then the global head of IKEA is a fool.
Pretty handy with an Allen Key though.

And it can't be much better locked away in a room with someone that is the complete opposite.In a typical Turner style of speaking he said something like he could think of nothing worse than being locked away in a room on your own.
In my case, the Y-only travel policy officially stated that you are entitled to a "recover" day. And in general that means overnight before you needed to front to an office for work. But in practice, I have fronted for work the same day as arrival, but that is an exception and probably more my choice than an expectation. I have chosen to meet up with local work colleagues for lunch, dinner or drinks on the day of arrival after travel to USA or Europe from Australia, but have not been expected to step off a long haul flight and be productive at work the same day.Microsoft also require staff to travel Y, even long haul. Personally I think it's ludicrous to expect staff to step off a long haul flight and be productive at work the same day if they've travelled Y.

No thanks.
Isn't the most complete of opposites someone of the opposite gender:mrgreen:.

agree, and a nasty chap I have read.

The problem with this policy is they are saving their money and seeming fair, but at the same time keeping you away from any family for even longer. I'm sure they get most people doing what you do and not electing to stay the extra night.
Yes, there are problems with the policy. But that is what it is. Not negotiable except through resignation and seeking another job. If you want the job, then that is the policy. If you don't like it, don't travel or find another job.The problem with this policy is they are saving their money and seeming fair, but at the same time keeping you away from any family for even longer.

Is it OK if I buy BioFreeze from them?
Amazon service is really good and for a company that makes bugger all profit their performance on delivery is first class.
Pump should be ok. Is it any good? Must be, I guess.I will check the banned list before I put it into a container. It is over 12 months since my last shipment as we went 32 ounce pump action dispensers as our warehouse staff love getting rid of aches for a few hours.
BioFreeze is pretty good for freezing an ache that's for sure. It lasts for about 6 hours in most cases and you have to use warm soapy water to get it off your hands after you apply it.
Don't get it into your eyes nor any special bits.
