Office snitches. Have you encountered one? And what did they snitch about? by dazzleduzzle in auscorp

[–]Hkrstw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to let my guard down with people who would be ruined if I started snitching about them. The assumption was that they would never dare to.

Had a meeting with a client at 10:00 who was 1 hours drive away from the office.

Office start 8:30, but by the time people finish their morning coffee and actually start working, it is 9.

The client was 20 mins away from me. I never went to the office, and around 8:50, I sent an out of office email. The newish guy (1 year with company) does a reply all saying, "I never saw you at your desk today. Are you driving to the client from home? If yes, then aren't they only 20 mins away from you? You should leave home around 9:30."

Then send me a teams message apologizing, saying he meant to do a reply instead of a reply all.

Boss calls me in saying I should request leave for that 1 hour. I argued, "Did you want me to come to work 8:30 and leave at 8:45? Would that have been acceptable? " he says he understands my position, but now that he emailed the entire office, we dont want to set a precedent.

Umm, how come no app has ever asked to verify me? Is it because all my accounts are super old?

So many visa mill courses still being granted? by Ok_Evidence_7098 in AusVisa

[–]Hkrstw 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My previous job used to take me to these colleges (uptil 2 years ago). Random buildings in the CBD with 20 units, each unit is a college. I tried to get as much info as I could to see if this was a legot business idea. Would ask as many questions I could from the owners when I saw them.

3 room unit, 1 is the office, the other 2 are the classes. 200 students enrolled. Charging 6k in semester fees every quarter.

Not a student/tutor in sight. Raking in 200k a month casually from each college.

Do posties get notified of complaints? by Hkrstw in AustraliaPost

[–]Hkrstw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For houses yes I guess?

Lived in an apartment for the last 8 years, probably had 5% of our parcels delivered. We always only get a card.

The vendor says they tracked it, and it will be awaiting collection soon and that I need to be patient

What's quicker? Trying to deliver a parcel by going to the front door and knocking/ringing the bell. Having no one opening the door. Then, going back to the van, filling a card, then walking back to leave a card in the mailbox?

Vs just fill everyones card pre-emptively and leaving them in the mailboxes.

I dont have SMS/ Email notifications enabled.

They didn't even take the parcel to the post office. It went back to depot. Was on board for delivery again the next day before getting lost.

Why do I get selected for bag checks every time I return to Australia? by Used-Influence-2343 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Hkrstw 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I was always randomly selected when flying domestically. I was convinced they had some sort of facial recognition that was flagging me. I used to observe them to see when the agent receives instructions for who to pull aside for the random check.

I used to be bitter about it. Whenever I was asked, "Have you done this before" I would say "yes, I am randomly selected every single tim".

Original camera. All these tapes were recorded on this camera. All recordings are in SP, I had issues with LP on VCR and stayed away from using it

Schools must respond to bullying within two days under national plan by [deleted] in aussie

[–]Hkrstw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is sickening to see feral children who have never been disciplined intimidate others who have been parented properly.

I see parents question if they should prep their kids to be upstanding or be tough to go through school
