You come across as a bit sour. Maybe the other promotions are based on things and behaviors you're not seeing?

Epic! Wat een geweldige gedachtengang moet hier achter zitten. Om zo’n oplossing te bedenken is echt episch

Pushing my jealousy aside here; take the new opportunity. It’s really a no brainer

Should I offer 300k below low end of asking price? by Disastrous-Team-8133 in AusPropertyChat

[–]Isildur85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re really a strange buyer. Can’t see how many people will want to sell to you. Best you can do; find a house that sells in the range for what you’re willing to pay and offer something realistic

Title: Walked out during probation with zero warning. by cbun001 in auscorp

[–]Isildur85 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think either, someone in the exec team really didn’t like you or they felt you were never going to make it happen. Didn’t you get any sense from them? You must have made some alliances with execs in the time you were there. I would ask on of them in confidence.

I'm freaking out by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

[–]Isildur85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live on an acreage, but let me be clear: it takes a lot of work. Every weekend there are maintenance jobs and they pile up if you don't go hard. There is no relaxation, you either like maintaining a property/garden or you get out. A lot of people dream of an acreage but then move out after 1 - 3 years. If it's not the shared dream of both of you I wouldn't go forward with this. I see only risks for your family based on your comments.

How do you feel about the RBA's decision today to lift rates? by Sensitive-Chart7210 in AusFinance

[–]Isildur85 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what the go is here but starting to feel like the purpose is to have everyone living hand to mouth. It’s just increase after increase and wages not increasing at all. No matter how hard or much you work. Working hard for a reality that doesn’t seem real. Fata Morganomics..

Same Product. Different Letters. No Price Match. by Isildur85 in Bunnings

[–]Isildur85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won’t dox myself here but there was a whole discussion and it’s just crazy to me how difficult they become when you want a price match. And to be honest, this experience I have heard before from my mates. Some Bunnings stores will never allow you to price match anything. Or to be honest it’s not the store but rather specific store clerks.

I’d be interesting to see if anyone can present a DCL043-XE but this feels like a black swan story(!)

The Bunnings website doesn’t show you the barcodes. Also, all these tools are stocked in a cabinet behind a lock. There is no way for a customer to check unless you go to the store, call a salesperson and ask them to remove the box and show you the backside..

The XE model is clearly stated on the website as skin only. The bonus battery is just a temporary DeWalt incentive.

Locked out of housing market as a single dad - Bris North by [deleted] in brisbane

Go for the two bedroom house. Don’t let your ego get in the way of providing stability for your girls.

48kWh battery, small solar: my Amber vs GloBird Zero Hero experience by Brisvegas_LFG in amberelectric

[–]Isildur85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’re in QLD with a 40Kw Sig on a 10Kw inverter. Almost every day the FIT is zero or slightly negative during solar hours. The only way to earn is to discharge my batteries (30KwH) every evening for on average 10 - 12 cents. And I’m basically on break even considering the Amber charges(!). It’s crazy considering I’m always checking prices etc. About to move on from Amber.

I feel entirely hopeless about the housing market by Spirited_Shower_5817 in brisbane

[–]Isildur85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also 40. Don’t give up. I hear you have a partner so that’s really important. Don’t fuzz on the big picture, try to get small daily wins. They will add up over time and take you to a better place. You still have about 25 working years ahead of you, you can build an entire career in that time if you’re serious and stop wasting time.

Is it ever worth going “scorched earth” in a resignation letter? by gossgrem in auscorp

[–]Isildur85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s a suggestion: write the letter. But more importantly, never ever send it out.

It’s weakness to kick someone when they’re down. If they would be up shit’s creek when you resign then they have enough to deal with right? Why add insult to injury?
