Only 5 days bereavement leave for teachers = callous?

Ryan, I got 3 days when my parents died even though I had to arrange funerals etc and was principal dome mourner etc... what you do is get sick leave. (Then get called to HQ that Christmas for taking too much sick leave but that's another story)

He really does live in a parallel universe. He just dips into this one to steal a living !

Did he not slip in a mention of his cousin's hotel again? Hmm?

Stops watching a movie after 10 mins - not the first time that's happened I would bet. Same with a few books.

Also thought the movie was too depressing lol

No he didn’t mention it this time.

Who here is a guy in their 20s? You've been called out!

Does anyone here ever reference the age and gender of posters?

ButtersSuki

So I can tell you to your face why I don’t like you? Invitation accepted Bryan!

And I can be perfectly polite in my delivery.

Liberals love La La Land, but these guys were stuck in a traffic jam, going to jobs that would never satisfy their life goals. It makes them happy to think that workers were spontaneously dancing in the street and on their car bonnets. Never trust a person who bought into that movie. The film is about denial.

I've just tweeted the show, he's just upset me over that bereavement leave inaccuracy. He needs putting right.

And unlike you or me has the funds to buy most of them - in cash, lying around the house. Though to be fair he does work very hard, sometimes as much as 8 hours a week in between holidays.

No they don't. There was a substantial backlash in feminists circles about it. I believe it had something to do with Ryan Goslings characters gate keeping of "real music".

They probably weren't liberals though.

Every month? It’s certainly every week, and almost certainly every day. In fact, I can’t recall a show where he didn’t mention it.

It's the daily repeated themes in the show that make it monotonous and seem de out of content. Indeed the latter gets the most superficial treatment possible; as long as it can carry his favourite motif of kindness it passes for a segment in the show, as long as it can generate texts from listeners apparently balling their eyes out. Later he will likely totally forget about anything material the guest was actually on the show to speak about, eg when he said he had never heard of SUDEP (sudden death in epilepsy) after having somebody highlight it on his show. Demonstrates how he had not done any kind of research or he would likely have recalled it. He bears the hallmarks of a lazy presenter, supported by a laissez-faire broadcaster.

(7th April) Tubridy went on about ‘dead eye’ whatever that is? It seems fairly subjective. I was thinking the simple answer to the problem would be to wear tinted glasses?

He mentioned Linkedin has 'single mother/stay at home mother' now listed as a job.

https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/article/Stay-at-home-mom-parents-linkedin-16080398.php

I immediately thought of this Bill Burr sketch on Mother’s being the ‘hardest job in the world’

Tubridy mentioned teachers want more time off for mourning as they want more than the five day bereavement. As Civil Servants get 20 days for a bereavement according to article. (A Civil Servant texter was quick to .point out that this was untrue) So the TUI seem to be telling porkies?

https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/education/teachers-want-more-time-off-to-grieve-than-current-five-daysfor-death-of-close-family-member-40282783.html

My first thought was there are a lot of kids in each class that would surely mean lots of days off? No I was wrong it only includes close family members.

There was nice obscure fact that the leader of Kosovo,. Vjosa Osmani-Sadriu, is head of state aged just 38.

https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/nation-world/story/2021-04-06/kosovos-38-year-old-president-takes-office

I assumed it was the youngest leader in the world, but it is not.

That record goes to the Austrian head of state aged just 33 - Sebastian Kurz

Tubridy’s obsession with Trump continues, despite clearly not liking the man he seems to miss him. I am curious of this dynamic, so I looked it up.

There is psychology of groups/individuals hating another individual/group.

https://www.scienceofpeople.com/hate/

Apparently, opposing groups can strongly ‘bond’ over hating a particular group or individual. 'Mutual Dislike' it is called. It evokes a stronger response among a group than a 'Mutual Like' would.

'Negativity friendships'

https://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/10/magazine/10Section2b.t-7.html


In contrast to hate, there was an outpouring of love and support for the person who emailed in the previous day about her ‘dry drunk’ partner.

In the interview segment Áine Murray discusses her children’s book ‘A pain in the chest’

http://www.choicepublishing.ie/index_files/ainemurray.htm

https://thebookmark.ie/

The author is a trained psychologist and current teacher. The book tells children to talk about their feelings etc. She discussed a lot of practical tips for getting children to talk. Songs etc.

I noted that Tubridy did not ask Áine about the TUI looking for longer periods of bereavement. I suppose it would have been unfair.

After this there was a lot of heated discussion about the film 'First Man' 2018

I thought there was a few funny texts in (because of' The First Man' film) some fella was inspired to apply to become an astronaut on the back of it. Another person text in that they drove Neil Armstrong around Dublin.


The song played was Reuben (2008) by Cathy Davey.

She also released an as Gaeilge version of 'Reuben'. (Starts @00:40)

The as Gaeilge version is on an album called Ceol 09

Just on the bereavement leave, I think it is very personal, some may be ready to go back to work in a short time others may need more flexibility.

The circumstances of the bereavement, the relationship to the deceased, the state of mind of the employee are all factors that need to be considered.

In an ideal world wouldn't it be great if the default was "no pressure, come back when you are ready" ?

I don't know. Had two close family deaths in the past few years and in both cases, looking back, I think it was for the best that I had to soon return to work. Work gave me a focus (like mindfulness, almost) and crucially, a structure on my day.

In a different case altogether, I was in college in the UK in 2006 when an elderly grandparent died, and I wasn't even allowed come home. It was the best thing. I was amazed how quickly I got over it relative to siblings, and it was a good lesson: this tendency to dwell all day on grief is not doing our mental health any favours. By all means, allocate time to reflection and allow yourself to be sad, but also put your head down and get on with life. Too much wallowing is not conducive to resiliance.

Tubridy's ego is something else.

He's clearly trying to be the nations next Uncle Gaybo....the kind where people will be looking back in 20 years saying how great he was at the tough subjects, dealing with death and sadness and how he dealt with these things with such empathy.

I'd say he's dreaming about what they'll be saying about him when he dies...the late late show host of the time telling everyone how Ryan was all about kindness and how it was shown by Ryan taking credit for having the toy show charity event an annual event since 2020..

It's the only reason I can give for Tubridy's obessiveness over the word kindness
