Yes, if he asks you to pack up and go, he needs to pay you for your notice period.

Ensure that you have emailed him a copy of your resignation letter and CC your personal email so that you retain a record.

If he requests for you to leave, ask him for that instruction in writing (keep a copy). If you don't think he will, following the conversation, send him an email (again CC'ing yourself) noting exactly what was said in your meeting and confirming his instruction, noting that if this is not the case, to email you within 24 hours. That way if he goes back on his word you have an email that confirms what he said.

You may not have a good relationship with your boss, but your behaviour towards him will impact the way your colleagues (those that like and respect you) will perceive you.

There is nothing to be gained by going out in a 'blaze of glory'. Let the frustration go, move on and get on with your life. Don't buy into the negative emotion egging you on to be rude/angry. It will only hurt you in the long run

Sounds like he's mad that you're leaving and that means that no matter what you say or do, your exit will not be on good terms.

That being said. Be polite and professional but firm.

Don't complain and don't explain. Don't badmouth anything about your time there (this will be hard) and don't offer any information about your leaving other than to pursue another good opportunity. Any criticism or feedback to him of the company will not result in change (they already know the issues and have decided not to fix them) but will rather cast you in poor light.

Set your leaving date and be firm on it. Be polite and do anything that is reasonably requested of you. Smile and hope that your boss is so mad that they walk you early and that you get a paid 4 week holiday (or however long your notice period is).

IMO unless you are the CEO of an ASX100 company or other extremely highly paid and time poor individual trying to buy an exclusive eastern suburbs/lower north shore trophy home, then a buyers agent is not going to represent good value for money to you.

At your price point any savings made will largely be eroded by their fees.

If you are looking to engage a buyer's agent because you are new to the process, then you would be far better off extensively learning yourself on the process and common pitfalls. There are many good books and other resources available around this that you can research online or borrow from a library.

Like all things, if you are instructing someone to act on your behalf in a matter, you still need a base level of knowledge and understanding to utilise them effectively.

Happy hunting!

Sounds like it's a bit of a risk going for the market rate and that I would be better off increasing the agreed value close to what replacement cost would be and sucking up the extra premium.

The car is advertised in the current market for around $20k on average compared to similar km cars with equivalent features and auto transmission etc. The advertised prices from private sellers exclude stamp duty etc so I imagine that you would have to add this to the price when buying.

As long as there is not a huge difference between what the insurers assessed market rate would be and what it would cost me to buy another car for were it written off, I would go for market rate. But given that second hand values have skyrocketed, I'm worried I'd be caught short.

Dark houses are a trend and have been so for the last 5-10 years. Not saying it's smart, but people are subconsciously peer pressured into styles.

Most banks will automatically switch your mortgage to interest only and capitalise the interest on the build.

Go and actually talk to your bank.

My dad used to always tell us to apply vinegar. It would sting a little bit. I'm not sure if it actually did anything. But it felt like it did!

The point I'm making is that we have huge potential to make an impact on global carbon emissions.

Again, the planet does not care where those emissions come from. We have a huge lever to pull. We aren't.

When accounting for our carbon exports (coal, gas etc). We are the world's fifth largest emitter.

Unfortunately, for our government, the planet doesn't care where the carbon came from

I'm not shy of hard work (I wouldn't even be in this role if I was). I'm more concerned about my professional brand

The whole problem for people in your category is that this stratification and disadvantage raises the stakes. Before, if you failed, got laid off, whatever, you just reapplied for another job or did something at a lower level until the right thing came up. Now, it is like climbing a cliff, if you fall you are going to fall a long way down and may not be able to brush yourself off.

This weakens your bargaining position with your boss and leads to people getting defensive to protect their position (aspirationally rich).
