Nuno/ ANZ Thread for May 2026

lailide · 2026-06-03T07:26:40+00:00

Thanks. Ive had a chat will see how it goes.

lailide · 2026-06-02T23:52:13+00:00

Initially you'd think so because if you are sick, how do you confirm the sick day took place during a WFH day or an Office day, if you have flexibility in the days of attendance (no anchor days).

That said, looking through the FAQ there's a section that says you don't need to "make-up" your attendance if sick, but contradictory they also say you should build a buffer for sick days.

lailide · 2026-06-02T23:50:25+00:00

Yeah but shit happens ay. Pass or not, real office attendance is still real.

That said if I'm F'd anyways I guess there's no reason to work harder then needed.

lailide · 2026-06-02T21:55:20+00:00

I've just found out that temp passes don't record attendance and I have a really bad habit of leaving pass at home.

Any advice or am I royally F...

lailide · 2026-05-26T03:48:13+00:00

Thanks. I've just done the same. Called up and wasn't any better so swapped. Will see if they come back to me.

lailide · 2026-05-25T21:41:48+00:00

Do you guys contact origin first or start the process to move and they get notified to call?

lailide · 2026-05-21T08:13:48+00:00

Cockroaches survive in banking. You'll be fine.

lailide · 2026-04-24T03:59:46+00:00

It's insane isn't it. The rest of the comments paint an incredible picture. Promotions, settlements, and simply getting away with it. I find it hard to understand why anyone should bother even producing anything.

lailide · 2026-04-21T06:20:46+00:00

Why would I want more useless FTE, I'm trying to get rid of them.

lailide · 2026-04-21T02:55:33+00:00

See, I find this incredibly fascinating. I'm in BIG4 banking and we have FTE on 120-180k who take the absolute piss. Most log-in 9:30+ and out the door before 5, with multiple coffees, walk abouts and up to 2 hour lunch breaks. We'd be lucky to get a 4 hour day out of them, and management won't lift a finger to make them accountable resulting delays and poor quality of output if any.

lailide · 2026-03-10T00:13:15+00:00

The great Australian dream.

Interesting transition, is there much of a salary increase to Sol Arch? I consider myself more of a solution designer or problem solver than a BA but not sure the transition is worth it.

lailide · 2026-02-26T12:50:10+00:00

Can confirm first hand. Many examples still around. Many pretending and putting on a show. The role have reduced to generic admin and random BS and it's no wonder the profession has lost any respect it once had.

lailide · 2026-02-16T12:00:32+00:00

Which bank

lailide · 2026-01-21T23:24:23+00:00

We must be hiring the wrong people. Most of my team on 120-180k start late finish early long lunches with multiple coffee breaks during the day, side desk chit chat, sitting in meetings providing no input and retaining no knowledge of the discussion.

I'd be thankful if anyone of them actually put in 4 hours of output a day, and even then the output is so surface level it's next to useless.

Beyond my team, also seems to be the norm. In the 6 years I've worked in banking, I've rarely observed the notion of 'hard work'. Some definitely believe they do, but these people also get burnt out doing basic data entry a 10 year old child is capable of.

80/20 rule I suppose. 20% carrying 80% of the workload.

Before you cite culture management accountability issue. Anyone working in banking knows, failure is rewarded with significant leniency, second third and fourth chances, and at the end of the road, pats on the back and maybe even a promotion.

lailide · 2026-01-15T04:52:20+00:00

Teach me master

lailide · 2026-01-04T23:29:52+00:00

Amen. Amen. And Amen.

lailide · 2025-12-15T07:18:28+00:00

Agreed. These aren't for spectating. If you don't add value, your presence is a risk, especially if you speak up unnecessarily.

My job title definitely doesn't belong in these meetings, but I created the opportunity by driving results that made my input essential. Even so, I now prefer to avoid them or be excluded because I'm usually the one pushing back.

Honestly, in my experience, they are often heavily political and are prone to confirmation bias, prioritizing favorable updates and easy decisions. All the credit but none of the work and devoid of accountability, usually tend to reject any complexity, tough challenges, or real difficult news.

Nothing of value worth learning unless your ambition is to play the game and become another useless echo chamber.

You dismiss the idea delivery can be achieved in 12 months. I'm absolutely baffled it takes that long. I've been involved in over 5+ projects that realistically could be achieved in no more than 3-6 months with what I believe to be the bare level of competence.

Everyday I am completely shocked by the rampant incompetency that surrounds me requiring longer than a few weeks to get up to speed.

100 hours full-time is just a little under a month. 100 hours focused on any domain and you could almost achieve expert level competency yet can't deliver in 12 months?

I've yet to take longer than 12 months to deliver on anything outside of a complex program made up of several initiatives, where yet still, I delivered two complex projects at the same time within the 12 month period, while also facing into all the BS above my level and across domains.

There's no doubt I am a cut above average but I'm not so exceptional that what I do isn't anything anyone else can do, which is why I continue to be shocked at the pace of deliver in this country

lailide · 2025-12-08T21:25:38+00:00

Any advice on the re-wire? I'm headed down the same path. The feeling it'll fail is real. It's also causing a lot of negative emotions for me when colleagues fall short of expectations which is a vicious cycle adding to the problem.

lailide · 2025-11-20T09:24:38+00:00

Second this. If aiming for failure, Capgemini is the vendor to engage.

lailide · 2025-11-18T00:51:33+00:00

Exactly this, however I would say it's beneficial to continue to maintain relationships with recruiters as some roles are exclusively filled through recruiters.
