Back in February this year I started working in a care home as a Care Assistant for the elderly. For context I’m 18. At the start of April I was pulled into the managers office for a “meeting” — where there was lots of questionable things asked and mentioned by the manager. They told me that due to my age my pay was being reduced. Is this legal? Carers, in Scotland, UK, get extra pay due to delivering direct care and the job being hard and heavy. I’m trying to think if I should escalate this?!

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
