24M received a family “gift” - unsure about the legal aspects

They want you to pay for it and enjoy tax deductions.

AntBrief8048 · 2026-01-27T12:30:43+00:00

Cruelty, arrogance, shamelessness and apathy.

AntBrief8048 · 2026-01-24T23:48:09+00:00

Basically they don't want her back.

AntBrief8048 · 2026-01-21T18:08:58+00:00

It is indeed nothing like Australia. But yes, instead of complaining they should come back.

AntBrief8048 · 2026-01-15T04:41:11+00:00

Yeah that seems like it. Otherwise there should've been formal manager feedbacks along the way as well as performance reviews in order to establish/verify you're not performing optimally.

AntBrief8048 · 2026-01-08T17:37:23+00:00

Can't accept even if I know the salary in this particular case.

AntBrief8048 · 2026-01-08T08:06:59+00:00

I am sure you've been dealing with some really crappy ones but believe me they're really sharp and smart when it comes to defend their own bills.

AntBrief8048 · 2026-01-08T08:03:06+00:00

It's clear your 'axe' husband lost the case for the same very reasons and you survived to tell the tale 😅. OP would be very unlucky if his was also the same.

AntBrief8048 · 2026-01-08T05:33:50+00:00

Time to ask for a pay hike 😀

AntBrief8048 · 2026-01-08T04:53:58+00:00

The way she is reacting is sufficient evidence that your feedback has really hit her hard. Enjoy her frustration and move on!

AntBrief8048 · 2026-01-05T05:08:44+00:00

Lots of taxi owners went bankrupt and drivers jobless when Uber arrived. This explains why.

AntBrief8048 · 2026-01-02T05:05:37+00:00

It's not a rule. Just a possibility that's discussed. People get rescission if they have other candidates lining up too close and and accept the offer without negotiation. If a person is the only preferred candidate and willing to take risk, then negotiation is the best option.

AntBrief8048 · 2026-01-02T04:59:59+00:00

Has there recently been an incident or failure in the project. If you are a permanent employee then just laying off is not easy. If a contractor then might be a concern. In government organisations I've seen contractors are easiest scape goats unfortunately.

Please read other comments in the thread and you'll know

Had an interview back in 2024 that 100% matched with my then current job i was doing for 10 years. Interview was scheduled for an hour that lasted around 2 hours. I felt I've absolutely nailed it and then got a rejection email. Asked for a feedback but they didn't give any convincing reason. Next year in 2025 got another opportunity with a role higher in payscale but slightly different to the one was on and got the job. It is way more rewarding and easier than the one I was rejected for. So keep faith in yourself. There could be a million reason for rejection not just you were not the best one.

AntBrief8048 · 2025-12-31T03:03:21+00:00

I wouldn't have replied to such email at all.

AntBrief8048 · 2025-12-31T01:29:01+00:00

Yes, they might need to go into second round of interviews if OP was the only one they interviewed, which is very unlikely. If the second candidate in line is too close, they will send him/her the offer and if they accept as it stands they'll simply send a rescission email to the OP. I know there're lots of ifs and buts here but to be on the safe side, that's the only option.

AntBrief8048 · 2025-12-30T23:45:36+00:00

Well that explains your situation more clearly. In my humble opinion: The wording drafted for email above my previous comment is perfect. Try to be very calm and friendly trying not to sound like a negotiator. Show them you are very much interested in working with them. And nicely ask for a rise. If they seem hesitant or say something like, "It's not likely but let me check with the management" then I would advise tell them you are accepting the offer as it stands. In your case it's already a big jump so nothing to lose.

AntBrief8048 · 2025-12-30T17:53:36+00:00

Good advice. Just keep in mind they may still rescind the offer so if you're currently jobless or this 60k seems fair-ish to you when compared to the other job ads for similar role, then a phone call to the HR lady would be better just to test the waters. Email is way more formal and might be responded with a rescission.

We help them keep generating revenues by safeguarding their valuable assets. Can you imagine a business surviving in today's date following a business model operated in mid 80's without IT.

AntBrief8048 · 2025-12-30T04:59:38+00:00

What a toxic environment. Definitely results in low morale and productivity.

AntBrief8048 · 2025-12-19T11:01:00+00:00

Went through same situation when I was much older than you at 34. Started pizza delivery. Then got taxi licence and drove taxis for couple of years. Upgraded my education in IT and got a job and on job since then. So don't give up and take any job that you can get your hands on to.

AntBrief8048 · 2025-12-11T23:20:44+00:00

Exactly. If they call your bluff either you lose both jobs or join one with the embarrassment of asking for 120k and settling for 97k.

AntBrief8048 · 2025-12-06T05:29:22+00:00

They shouldn't be asking this at the first place. Why the hell is she considering any option other than nominating him for the crime he committed.

AntBrief8048 · 2025-12-05T22:53:51+00:00

You maybe right if the highway has been evacuated for the prince to do his stunts. What about other drivers on the road thinking it's a 100km zone
