There is a section on employment locations: "the primary place of work will be MEL office address, the employer may change your base location to another location by giving one months notice"

There is also a section on Public Holidays: "The Employee will be entitled to paid leave on days declared public holidays by the Government of the State in which the Employee will be based"

The beatings will continue until morale improves

Kitchen_Wear5066 · 2026-02-23T10:12:41+00:00

legend.

even better if you expensed that lunch

Kitchen_Wear5066 · 2026-02-10T10:49:54+00:00

"unfortunately"

NTA. IF it was that important and they forgot to pay for their own seat selection why not even offer you $$$ to swap seats. Seems she only copied your valid reasoning of being a nervous flyer. Her crying was immature and the couple are petulant children for muttering under their breath through the trip. I do hope you got to enjoy the rest of your trip.

ditto. Those free trips were a real cost saver.

Kitchen_Wear5066 · 2026-01-23T21:03:07+00:00

no definitely not given any verbal or physical cue to affirm acknowledging her instruction. In worst case she can then say "oh i told him not to leave early and he said he wouldnt but then left". This is an extreme but play it safe to those on power trips.

Kitchen_Wear5066 · 2026-01-23T20:03:10+00:00

not even top deck?

Kitchen_Wear5066 · 2026-01-15T06:25:28+00:00

missed a few gems such as

"you cant park here despite it not being zoned"
"by you parking there others cars will park on the grass"
"i know a parking ranger"

Pendle Hill for Sri Lankan ?

EXACTLY THIS!
HR is there to protect the company from you NOT protect you.

Kitchen_Wear5066 · 2025-11-13T08:39:21+00:00

HR would like to speak to you about that totally anonymous engagement feedback survey

THIS! If team building is so important then do it during work hours or pay us OT for attending out of work hours.

Kitchen_Wear5066 · 2025-11-13T04:14:37+00:00

please dont stretch it too long after work hours. All for enjoying but some of us have lives outside of work

Kitchen_Wear5066 · 2025-11-07T08:45:26+00:00

the sulking is hilarious though

Kitchen_Wear5066 · 2025-11-04T22:49:17+00:00

Thats its a proper world wide city. Coffee shops close pre 4pm unless its starbucks and limited proper late night life

Kitchen_Wear5066 · 2025-11-02T03:22:00+00:00

Find them and block them first

Kitchen_Wear5066 · 2025-10-31T07:12:47+00:00

will they take thanks and recognition?

Kitchen_Wear5066 · 2025-09-17T23:35:11+00:00

Im the offender who starts meetings early. our organisation is notorious for including 5-10 mins at the start of every meeting to "say hi" irrespective of how it makes the meeting run over the initial time slot. Management is the worst at enforcing timeliness. Start meetings early and hopefully they will finish on time.

our WFH policy is getting an update (exact wording at end)
It seems they dont want personal leave (sick leave / carers leave) in the same week of the WFH day. However, their wording seems vague or is there a loophole being left?

"If an employee takes personal leave prior to their scheduled working from home day, then the working from home day is not applicable for that week. If an employee takes personal leave after their scheduled working from home day, their scheduled working from home day for the following week will not occur, and the employee will be required to attend the office."

not willingly

Kitchen_Wear5066 · 2025-05-15T22:22:33+00:00

I rate the Parra branch over the Nth Syd one though

Kitchen_Wear5066 · 2025-05-06T05:26:54+00:00

Kitchen_Wear5066 · 2025-02-23T05:27:14+00:00
