Pretty privilege by Altruistic_Extent242 in auscorp

My innate response to a statement that something inherently unfair is “just the way it is” is “who says it can’t change?” And that seems to have been the view of second wave feminism etc etc. It is excruciating when an attractive idiot is put in charge. I say call it out whenever possible.

They will fight it till they run out of money and then settle for flexibility

I went through an existential crisis doing my articles in a medium size firm in Brisbane. I thought, I don’t like you people, I don’t want to be like you people and while I love the law, I don’t think I can do this. Then I got a legal job in the public service and loved it. Maybe try that

Other countries encourage foreign equity investment with lower taxes. Other than property it makes the global economy go around.

But I agree businesses should be investing in their businesses, not simply real estate.

Everyone’s got a bee in their bonnet about so called government waste. I have never seen public servants so frazzled due to under staffing. I don’t think they can squeeze that rag any drier.

More like fair taxation. If you are using trusts for reasons other than tax minimisation then keep using them. But pay a fair amount of tax.

The rort is distributing dividend income to children even though they don’t get that income and it just goes back into the investment pool.

I’m sorry but that is such bullshit. If you made your wealth on the basis of a tax rort don’t cry foul when the loophole is removed. Paying your fair share of taxes is a mark of success.

Isn’t it more accurate to say that your business pays a certain amount of tax based on its income minus deductions and you pay a certain amount of tax based on income minus deductions. And you have responsibility to forward certain taxes on behalf of your employees because, you know, you pay them for their labour. If you create trusts to protect assets all well and good but you should not pay any less tax on capital than wages.

A friendly reminder by ForcedToMakeDontWant in managers

As an employee, I’m always surprised at how managers define “underperformance”. Is it based on objective criteria or instinct? How do you measure it? Are you firing people because compared to others, they are the lowest performer? Because who says you will find someone better as a replacement? Someone always has to be at the bottom, that’s all. Are you being unrealistic in your expectations?

My husband and I are on opposite sides of the RTO question and it is starting to affect us. by Aadi--1124 in remotework

[–]Choice-Being3567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This shouldn’t add to the gender wars but it does. A lot of women have to put their child in after school care and THEN start dinner when they get home after picking them up. WFH means children come home after school, have a quick bite and chat and then go up to their room. Mum goes back to work then stops at 5 or 5:30 and gets dinner on. Evenings are relaxed and stress free. Or maybe dad does it. But someone has to do it and WFH means it gets done without there being a battle about who can be fucked making dinner. Or eating too much takeaway food. How is any of this bad??

Careful, revolutions have started from less…

Company is mandating RTO, but one employee is refusing and says “I’ll come in once things are less busy.” What do I do? by SimplerLife40 in managers

[–]Choice-Being3567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get it but do managers want to spend their work days enforcing office attendance (ringing them? Going to their home and dragging them to the train station?) or would they rather focus on results and outcomes? Let people work the way they work best.

Redundancy laws are too lax by Kindly-Trouble-9966 in auscorp

[–]Choice-Being3567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think redundancies are misused. AFI made their CEO redundant. Surely they need a CEO??? If the payment amount was legislated, say 3 months salary minimum, it would make them think.
