Tank has reached that stage of the day where he’s so tired he’s sleeping standing up. 😴

The eyes are fighting for their lives.
The legs are running purely on muscle memory.
And the “Do Not Disturb” sign isn’t a request… it’s a warning.

Meanwhile, I pay the mortgage, buy the food, and somehow he's the one who’s tired. 🤷🏼‍♀️🐶

POV: You’re an HR consultant and employment lawyer… but before the disciplinaries, grievances, investigations and 13 meetings, you still have to find the PE kit, walk the dog and survive the school run. 😅

Gym ✔️
Oscar sorted ✔️

School run complete ✔️
13 meetings loaded 📅
Boxing tonight 🥊

People think HR is policies and paperwork.

In reality, it’s solving problems, preventing bigger ones, and drinking coffee while someone says, “Can I just ask a quick question?” that somehow lasts 45 minutes. ☕😂

Wish me luck… today’s diary looks like an employment tribunal’s to-do list.

Wow… blinked and somehow it’s already the end of Wednesday and I still haven’t summed up last week.

Half-term was a good reminder that life doesn’t have to be all or nothing. There was plenty of HR and employment law, client meetings, advice calls and problem-solving, but there was also time for a bike ride with Oscar over the Humber Bridge to The Tilery, progress on the building work at home, dog walks, and appreciating some of the smaller things that are easy to overlook when life gets busy.

One thing I see regularly in employment law is people waiting for the “big thing” before they’re happy. The promotion. The pay rise. The new job. The business milestone.

The reality is that most of life happens in the ordinary moments in between.

The walk with the dog.
The tea before the emails start.
The bike ride with your child.
The project slowly coming together.
The client who says, “Thank you, that really helped.”

Those moments are often where the real value is.

A good reminder that whilst work is important, it should support life, not replace it.

📹 Can your employer watch you on CCTV all day?

This is one of those employment law questions that people often think has a straightforward answer.

In reality, it depends.

Employers can use CCTV for legitimate business purposes such as security, health and safety, safeguarding, protecting property and investigating incidents.

What CCTV should not become is a tool for constant monitoring of employees without a clear and justifiable reason.

Like most employment law issues, the key question is whether the use of CCTV is proportionate, necessary and transparent.

Have you dealt with CCTV concerns in your workplace, either as an employer or employee?

Here’s to fewer workplace dramas, better conversations, and making work a place people actually want to be.

🚨 Can your employer read your emails?

It’s one of the questions I’m asked all the time.

The reality is that if it’s a work email account, you shouldn’t assume it’s private.

I’ve seen countless disciplinary, grievance and tribunal cases where emails have become key pieces of evidence.

So before hitting send, ask yourself:

“Would I be comfortable reading this out in a meeting?” 👀
