#fixedterm

2024-01-31

I was a #RussellGroup #fixedterm #Researcher and I loved it. It made best use of my #skills but there's no guarantee of the next #contract. Even if likely you'll get another you can'tbe sure. Approaching 60 I realised that the risk was high as a different #job would be hard to get. #Ageism is rife in #employment. So, I took a permanent lower #pay role for #financial #security. I miss #research every day.

Don't own a house? 'Don't forget how lucky you are. #Renting is largely risk and responsibility-free', according to this article in the #Telegraph

Yep. I'm sure millions of people are thrilled about paying #rent that ends up in someone else's pocket, #landlords who refuse to fix things and refuse to pay back your #deposit over the smallest of things, the #increases in rents that happen all the time and the risk of being chucked out of your home due to the prevalence of #fixedterm contracts.

Very lucky indeed.

It has become incumbent on #tenants to at least be aware although rights are very limited...
For instance, I am with Paramount - all their leases in N.S. are "fixed term" meaning they can give me 4 months notice before my lease is up, to get out. This allows them to rent my unit for a much higher rent.
I have no appeal. This needs to be fixed in law.

I’m so excited about this project! Been involved as Chair of @CILIPSW but #LibrariesOfSanctuary is a personal passion. So much progress this year with #Librarians from #HealthLibraries, #UniversityLibraries, #PublicLibraries, #FELibraries, #SpecialLibraries Great opportunity! Interested in removing barriers to #Libraries for new arrivals? Are you organised? Capable of managing a project? Want to help embed the concepts of welcome, safety & inclusion? #FixedTerm #Vacancy swrls.org.uk/post/project-coor
