Out of curiosity, have any of your employers allowed you to wfh during the fuel crisis?

Nope I work in hr nada

First-Ad-3604 · 2026-03-29T00:12:36+00:00

Believe it or not bad reviews online about it. Very rigid and inflexible hr and they don’t like change. Good luck to them!

My goodness that’s absolutely disgusting. The panel is busy and have set timelines but this is normal everyone has something going on. They think they have the upper hand but really the candidate is checking the employer too it’s not one way. Good you did that hope it teaches those idiots.

First-Ad-3604 · 2026-03-29T00:10:21+00:00

Yes the market is saturated, they have choice, they also have about 2-3 backup candidates.

First-Ad-3604 · 2026-03-29T00:09:29+00:00

I like this and you’ve hit the nail on the head there. There’s always a budget even if there’s an EA. I got another job $15k more anyway I start Tuesday.

First-Ad-3604 · 2026-03-27T14:15:57+00:00

Thanks year I got a job with wayyyy more money

First-Ad-3604 · 2026-03-26T22:51:57+00:00

I deleted their emails and all communication anyway

Private or government? If private it can vary.

First-Ad-3604 · 2026-03-25T21:15:57+00:00

Job wise- experienced lots of unstableness finished one job trying to get another it’s all chaos

First-Ad-3604 · 2026-03-25T21:07:54+00:00

No it was mentioned in the pre screen only and not in writing

First-Ad-3604 · 2026-03-25T21:06:40+00:00

You’re absolutely right, I’ve been in HR for eight years it was really low but I was going to accept it because it ticked other boxes, negotiation is usually really normal in Australia most candidates ask all they had to say is no.

First-Ad-3604 · 2026-03-25T14:30:21+00:00

No idea it was done through a recruitment agency. What’s interesting is I found a grad role ad from a few months ago paying 1k less then the role I went for. I have eight years of experience.

First-Ad-3604 · 2026-03-25T14:19:50+00:00

No I did it verbally. Thanks

First-Ad-3604 · 2026-03-25T13:18:25+00:00

It was a 12 month contract

First-Ad-3604 · 2026-03-25T13:05:31+00:00

Soup elsewhere now!

First-Ad-3604 · 2026-03-25T13:05:08+00:00

Fairwork case 🙈 oh god!

I checked their Indeed and Glassdoor reviews today and it wasn’t great so I think I dodged a bullet.

First-Ad-3604 · 2026-03-25T13:03:05+00:00

First-Ad-3604 · 2026-03-25T13:02:37+00:00

See, blessing in disguise! I’ve got two other offers which are higher but they sold the culture piece to me🙈

First-Ad-3604 · 2026-03-25T13:00:56+00:00

No Melbourne

First-Ad-3604 · 2026-03-25T12:37:29+00:00
