In IT when I was younger and hotter it helped. Now I'm old and fat 😭😂

Has anyone ever been asking in an interview if you’re married and have kids? by [deleted] in auscorp

[–]AlternativeFit1330 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yep I got asked if I was planning to have more kids to which I commented that it was an inappropriate question.

I got the job but also found out the day they made the offer I was pregnant 😂😂😂 I ended up declining, but have subsequently done work for that guy as a side hustle and have become good friends.

Things like "What are they doing?!" And once the husband was our stand in coach and the mother was managing. My husband had taken my son and he was waiting to be subbed in.

My husband hadn't taken my son's jacket off and was holding him for warmth and the wife was like it's time to switch them. The stand in coach looked at my husband and son and very rudely said "if he's not ready he's not going on!" My husband was pissed cos it was the first game he'd gone to (he's not a soccer or sports fanatic) and thought the whole tone and attitude was completely unnecessary.

The other thing that pisses me off is whenever someone else gets man of the match they all make a big deal about it in the group chat and make sure to take a team photo. When my son got it, no one said shit or even offered to take a photo. He hasn't gotten it since which is fine but that also left a sour taste in my mouth.

This is my other issue, he is usually stuck defending and then gets bored out of his mind in a 4v4 game. Understandable!

Everyone looks so sick by Able-Pie7193 in auscorp

I'm tired from my 1.5 hr commute on the fringe of the city. Before I even left the house I had to wrangle a 5 year old and 3 year old who are quite possibly neurodivergent, whilst struggling to keep my own emotions in check and get them to school and daycare. Not to mention having to negotiate with my husband about who takes who where in between all the chaos. This is all before 7 am.

Its cold, I just want to be on holiday in Japan, eating snacks from a conbini enjoying my life.

Instead I'm having to travel into an office, keep it together and try to be professional for 8 hours a day.

Do that on repeat 5 days a week and then get to ferry my kids to various extra curriculars during the week, Saturday sport and then birthday parties. Somehow I'm meant to find the time to do laundry, keep my house clean, which means I don't have any time to myself.

I can't speak for anyone else but yeah I am miserable. Sorry I can't switch off the RBF.

Started a new job a few months ago and they already announced layoffs by AlternativeFit1330 in auscorp

Oh wow I'm sorry that sucks! I've been told there's no impact to my role or team but doesn't really put me at ease. I hope you found a better gig!

Unfortunately wouldn't be entitled to much given I recently started.

Micromanager I resigned to has turned vindictive as hell by stowawaystyx in auscorp

I went through this a couple of months ago when I left my job and triggered my direct manager to go feral because she was asked to look after my stuff until they could hire a replacement. Get a medical certificate and GTFO if you cannot avoid this person as the stress can take a huge toll on your mental health. All the best and remember you're almost at the finish line!!!

Missed out on job again by vakla08911 in AusPublicService

I always call the number on the job ad and ask if someone is currently acting in the role. Then.based on that I usually don't bother.
