Spain. Interesting, I didn’t know you had credit scores in the UK

In Europe there is a Card Stop number you can use to block your card as soon as you noticed it’s stolen.

From the rest of the thread, it seems that US laws protect credit cards better than debit.

Interesting, thanks

I never did, because in Europe people don’t need to build a credit score, and it is usually advised to only use money you have.

Anecdotal evidence, but the only people I know that use them have a tendency to overspend.

That would be nice!

Blaze OP , to Personal Finance in [AskFinance] Where should we create our wiki?
@Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

The only mod on !personalfinance never posted, seems to be squatting communities, and there’s only one other post since mine about this one 4 days ago.

I would suggest to keep the community here, we seem to get a few answers in the comments, and lemmy.ml is federated with more instances than LW, which allows to leave the discussion drama aside.

Great to hear you are wanting an active PF community too!

It definitely is strange to see both sides of the coin at the same time

Blaze OP , to Personal Finance in [Ask PersonalFinance] Emergency funds, what is your "f*** you money" story?
@Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I answered in another comment above, long story short, they didn’t really ask me, it was not worth it to provide feedback if they weren’t going to take it into account

Alright, so here’s the catch: I was working for one entity of a group. I was reporting to the entity director, but the whole group was still owned (something like 55%) by a single person, with an egocentric personality, and that owner was vehemently against working from home.

I mentioned to the entity director that there was nothing he could change as the working from office policy was pushed by the group (he had mentioned that earlier to a lot of people, that we were not following “the group policy”). I did not have an HR exit interview where to report my issue with the WFH policy directly.

Just to give an example at how stubborn the owner was: it was okay for me to work in one office while every other person I was working with would be in a different one, but I wasn’t allowed to work from home. I would thus go every day from my hometown to that office, interact with no one, make a few calls with my team in the other office, and go back home.

To even add more context, one of my former reports who took my role left a few months afterwards as well, in his case the issue was the pay they were offering.

Long story short, this company was full of issues, and didn’t seem to bother to even ask for feedback. A lot of other people quit around the time I did.

Interesting feedback, thanks for sharing.

About the mods, I’ll probably post something else at some point, as it seems the only current one hasn’t been connected for a while
