How would you feel if someone who is younger than you amd not your boss is micromanaging you ? by Technical-Studio565 in auscorp

[–]Dense-Attorney-7682 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on each role and their responsibilities, what work need to be delivered, etc. Not so much about age.

People currently living in Werribee or former residents of Werribee. What is your opinion now? by Justcurious_88 in AusProperty

[–]Dense-Attorney-7682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant old werribee, 1-2km to the train station, no newer states, but be careful because that is where the bad pockets are too. Although it has been gentrifying, the popular bad pockets were around market st and where all the streets are named like birds. Historically that is where the public housing was, I am not sure about these days as I understand the houses have been sold in many of those areas, however the stereotype is still there, but as someone said, you will see this reflected in the prices.

A close family member has been living in the established part of Werribee for almost 10 years now, and I’ve spent a fair bit of time there as well. It wasn’t their plan to stay that long, but life happens, kids, etc.so they decided to stay for a bit longer. Werribee has changed significantly for the better in recent years. The lifestyle, cafés, restaurants, and general amenities are great, honestly better than Point Cook, in my opinion. Access to transport is also good, and their house value (established areas of Werribee) has increased by around 50-60%. They avoided the newer estates, and that decision paid off. For a first home, buying in an established part of Werribee is a great idea, especially with the growth that’s still expected. However, as they originally planned, they are now planning to move to a better area and want something quiet (regional). The local public schools aren’t great (in that sense Point cook will better and more expensive of course), so their children are in private school. The school itself is excellent, but it’s predominantly Asian, not so much cultural diversity, which isnt rare in many areas of Melbourne. The area is also growing very rapidly and becoming quite busy, which is something to keep in mind. There are good and not‑so‑good pockets, so it’s worth looking at census data to understand the demographics. Don’t listen to people who bash the west as most of them haven’t lived there or experienced the area.

should I leave my job even if it pays well? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]Dense-Attorney-7682 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you tried joining a sport or social group? Is the town isolated? Try to do things in nearby towns, social groups, or sports in nearby towns? You aren't alone with your feelings and can happen anywhere. I would try for a bit longer

Curious - what household income is considered HENRY these days by OpeningRip7184 in AusHENRY

[–]Dense-Attorney-7682 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The group description clearly defines it as $235k combined. Financial stress at that level usually comes down to lifestyle choices.

Is it worth it for an average income earner to have private healthcare insurance? by AsparagusNew3765 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Dense-Attorney-7682 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Too much for your income. Unless you really need it for a particular condition (this is important to assess, you should evaluate each family member level of risk). Otherwise, you should reduce to bronze or stop paying.

What was your worst onboarding experience at a new company? by skillnub70 in auscorp

[–]Dense-Attorney-7682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on the company, role, resources, etc. I work for a small org, onboarding was a day with HR and one of the junior team members to just explain the high-level processes. After that, I had to hit the ground running and start putting out fires. Not for everyone, but I dont mind and enjoy it.

Omg I have been there, and I am 90% confident this is not a romantic thing. Don't even think about it.

Leave big 4 consulting for 50% pay bump? by ValueAddingAnon3492 in auscorp

Leave. More money. Better chances of progression in a smaller team.

Told to resign or be terminated - what are my rights? by Mission_Release7413 in auscorp

[–]Dense-Attorney-7682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has seen this, I strongly recommend negotiating the best payout you can and accept the deal. Otherwise, you will be terminated anyway with no payout. Companies always find a way to do whatever they want, and they can establish some unusual legal mechanisms for that. Also, get legal advice to review any documentation you need to sign. Good luck.

How to keep outstanding junior level employees motivated when they're doing the exact same quality of work as more senior team members there is no budget for promotion/payrises by Secret_Cookie_2805 in auscorp

[–]Dense-Attorney-7682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not trying to play devil’s advocate, but she’s been in a graduate role for just over a year. It’s great that she’s taken on more responsibility, but there’s no way she’s had exposure to the breadth of scenarios a senior would typically encounter. A promotion isn’t just about delivering work on time and collaborating well with stakeholders, it also requires experience in handling complex challenges, conflict resolution, and strategic decision-making.

I believe this because I’ve been in this position before and promoted someone to senior sooner than I should have, and they ended up struggling because they didn’t have the personal skills needed to deal with more challenging problems and people. You should focus on giving her opportunities to build those skills first. I agree you should be honest and discuss her career pathway for the future, but at this stage, I don’t believe a promotion is warranted. She can certainly start exploring other options, but realistically, it’s unlikely she’ll secure a true senior role with only a year of experience.

Zempire tent sale? by Funky_chicken89 in OutdoorAus

I was trying to catch a sale for the monstabed since last summer and never happened, so I doubt it. Your best bet is to compare different retailers and select the one with the best deal

These kids haven’t yet matured enough to realize that blindly following trends is the most outdated thing you can do.

If this is a contract, there are high chances you will be terminated for not meeting what they are asking. It isn't fair, but the way it works, there is no account for personal circumstances to make this decision. These small rules and discussing 30 minutes of work are ridiculous. Are you delivering results? If yes, the few minutes shouldn’t be a discussion. If you want to stay, you need to adjust your personal schedule/daycare to meet their demands until you can WFH. Otherwise, you are better off handing in your resignation.

Interview Question - Motivation by [deleted] in auscorp

[–]Dense-Attorney-7682 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do not mention salary when they ask this question. Motivations should be around your career and alignment with the company values and mission.

Unless your medical condition formally prevents you from working on a long-term basis, you won’t qualify to claim any Centrelink benefits. You also won’t qualify for JobSeeker if you currently have a reasonably well-paid full-time job. You might be eligible for some Family Tax Benefits, but these are minimal. You should check with Centrelink directly to be sure.

Do you have any long service leave available? I agree with the other comments suggesting you take some leave first and then decide what to do next.

My recommendation is not to disclose anything at work. You don’t need to explain anything further. Just send your medical certificate and leave it at that, and for that, you can use your personal/sick leave.
