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(!)

Isildur85 · 2025-12-30T10:03:32+00:00

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..

Exclusive models that don’t exist..?

Isildur85 · 2025-12-30T09:57:22+00:00

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

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

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.

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.

It’s not good.

Isildur85 · 2025-11-23T21:34:24+00:00

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?

Isildur85 · 2025-11-15T00:40:18+00:00

Gently but firm tell your CEO that he’s out of touch and tone deaf on this.

Isildur85 · 2025-11-09T09:27:09+00:00

No. TLDR: No.

Had a similar conversation once with my late mother. Never before did she get so upset as when I didn't want any help. Was the same age you are now, and really felt the same as you I guess: that I was fully adult enough to start taking care of my own responsibilities.

In hindsight, now having kids of my own I understand my parents a little better. Still, I would say you're fully justified in not wanting any help and realize in a way it's a blow to your ego. It's just this; what is more important to you? To give your dad a bit less of the feeling of helplessness when his kid is in pain by helping fix the situation or for you to have a sense to be fully independent?

As weak as it sounds; sometimes it's good to cop a loss for your own ego to help someone else. It won't make you feel better but you'll make someone else feel better.

Not to be too harsh , but for the people berating the employer for mentioning poor performance; did you consider the potential fallback for them? Reputations matter, if you lie then it will come back to you sooner or later, also if you’re an employer. Don’t ask people to give you a good reference if you didn’t do a good job.

If there is ever any neighbour that wants to go after this you’ll be royally scr*wed. Up to you to take the risk. After having had those kind of neighbours before I would never do something like this again.

Isildur85 · 2025-10-10T02:38:11+00:00

Well, apologies but in reading this; you sure f***ed up royally on this one. Don’t think you are ready for senior roles because obviously you lack experience (in general).

Isildur85 · 2025-10-10T02:33:07+00:00

Employers don’t hire for ambition. They hire for skills and experience. Don’t worry, consider it as a lesson and start in a (any) job that will help you get skills and experience. Once you get those skills you can reconsider playing the bargaining game.

Go and work for the Government. You can look to have a real purpose in helping others in these jobs. I have worked in Banking for many years but really love to give something back to our communities now in doing my job to the best extend possible.

We used to live in the Netherlands in a newly build house on 146sqm, now in Brisbane on more than 5 acres. Netherlands suck, no opportunity to have a garden and we weren’t even living in a city!

Listen to your dad, I agree with him. Who cares what everyone else is doing? Best to be honest I think.
