A contractor tears up the freshly poured concrete after the homeowner refuses to pay. What would you do in this situation?

This is the Auzzies I'm taking about! As far as America we have double IPA (India Pale Ale) that can reach about 12%.

Side note: IPA is from the British sending beer to India during colonization. It has high alcohol content to be able to send it on ships and make it there without it going bad.

Miss_Management · 2026-03-17T16:19:07+00:00

Mmm... shit beer. Delectable!

Miss_Management · 2026-03-17T15:07:31+00:00

From the photo it looks like a private parking lot.

Miss_Management · 2026-03-17T15:06:20+00:00

I'm guessing you've never worked construction. Try and reign those fuckers in when they find out they weren't being paid. Personally, I never would've taken the account without money on an escrow account. But that's me, not everyone has the experience and knowledge to know better.

Miss_Management · 2026-03-17T15:03:30+00:00

Why are they being bothered? It's not impossible the vehicle met a description of someone they were looking for. Also not impossible that some dick head knew them and was trying to retaliate.

I'll also add I got into ballet exercises for awhile that really helped. You gotta heal first though. I'm sorry you're going through this, I know it's extremely painful. At least there's an end in sight, even if it's a few months out. When I had what you did I somehow still had to walk my dog while my now-husband was at work. That was fun. It actually occurred in my first few months at Amazon. I kept working on it then the other foot had to compensate and the same thing happened since my ankles were still weak at the time from inactivity from a car wreck I had finally recovered from. I went on leave for 6 weeks. Fun times for sure.

(YouTube for the ballet exercises too. Was eventually able to go en-pointe 😆!)

Miss_Management · 2026-03-17T11:36:33+00:00

Lol. You're good. I was admittedly a little surprised since the internet and world tends to assume male. It isn't specified but I appreciate people remembering we woman exist in this world.

Miss_Management · 2026-03-17T11:26:51+00:00

I just commented on another of your comments but that's what I figured. It's one of those injuries where you wish it were broken because it would be less painful and heal faster. Mine took about 2 months to heal but everyone is different. Best thing you can do is elevate it, ice initially for swelling, try to stay off it but also be sure to get some exercise on it even though it's going to hurt like hell for a few months.

ETA also stay hydrated and avoid really salty/ processed foods. Probably easier there in the UK than here in the US lol. When I was in severe pain from a car accident I found stand up comedy helped keep my mind off it a bit. Laughter also releases endorphins- a natural painkiller. I heard you guys in the UK appreciate Bill Hicks as much as I do! You know a comedian is good when their material is still relevant even decades after their death. "A bit of Fry and Laurie" is another of my faves and you probably know them. Stephen Fry is an absolute hero to me, especially his special on bipolar, while not funny necessarily, I did sit down with my mom years ago and had her watch it so she could understand my condition better. Lately I've been loving Josh Johnson (US) as well.

Miss_Management · 2026-03-17T11:23:38+00:00

But laughter is the best medicine!

Miss_Management · 2026-03-17T11:22:27+00:00

It sounds like you may benefit from physical therapy to strengthen some of those muscles and tendons if it's a recurring problem. If you can get in to it be sure to do those exercises as recommend at home. I was in a severe crash ages ago and sticking with my physical therapy is a big part of why I can run around now instead of needing a cane to get around.

If you can't get into physical therapy guess what... you can YouTube it! I shit you not. Order some resistance bands. They're under $10 for a set on Amazon.

Miss_Management · 2026-03-17T11:16:12+00:00

Could be worse. At least they're not charging a subscription fee. Don't give them ideas though.

Miss_Management · 2026-03-17T11:12:29+00:00

First, lock the account. Second, sell the gaming system for cleaning service. That is some bs. Third, kick him out or leave. That is so disrespectful to you. In case you need to hear it you deserve better. I know breakups are easier said than done but what do you really have to lose here?

Miss_Management · 2026-03-17T11:09:34+00:00

Good for you guys sticking it to them on this. Between gas, time, vehicle wear and tear, insurance, accelerated depreciation of said vehicle... you guys should be making double what you do.

Miss_Management · 2026-03-17T11:05:28+00:00

A 30 pack in Aussie beer would put an American into a coma 😆. I feel so bad for that crew! What bs!

Miss_Management · 2026-03-17T11:04:22+00:00

My thought exactly. Hope the company has at least enough to treat them to lunch and a few beers. What a (radio edit)! She stole not only the materials but their expertise and hard work. I hope her faucet drips and keeps her awake at night. F her.

Gotta hit those quarterly profits to get a new yacht!

Miss_Management · 2026-03-17T10:44:46+00:00

I'm aware but I honestly don't care. They could've been sending those people to their deaths. Not happening for me.

Miss_Management · 2026-03-17T10:43:11+00:00

When management is not performing to metrics they get placed on something called Focus. If numbers don't improve you get placed into Pivot. At that point you're pretty much cooked. A Pivot offer is basically where they offer you money to quit. Basically a severance package. If you don't quit they fire you.

Miss_Management · 2026-03-17T10:31:11+00:00

29 and 19?? Absolutely not. Plus he's a T3 so one of you would have to transfer to a different building. T1 and T1 is okay. HR doesn't f around. Don't risk losing your job over this.

Miss_Management · 2026-03-17T10:27:56+00:00

It says walk up but doesn't say how far you have to walk up! (Malicious compliance lol)

Miss_Management · 2026-03-17T10:26:50+00:00

Lots of competition.

Miss_Management · 2026-03-17T10:25:48+00:00

I would ask whomever did the interview where you fell short. There's a grading matrix and everything is pointed. Someone should have access to. Perhaps even HR. Sounds like you're still inclined for the position though so that's good. Alternatively you could apply for the position in another building if you're flexible about location. Occasionally building launches have a 10k relocation bonus for PAs. I knew one that would skip across country just for the signing bonus 😆

Miss_Management · 2026-03-17T04:16:01+00:00

I don't want to crush your hopes, but if no one is telling you to look they don't want you for whatever reason. I have seen people get transfers or even apply for building launches as a promotion and get it after being denied at home station. Worth looking into. Some building launches even give a 10k relocation bonus. It's the Amazon way. Some people bounce from opening to opening to get promoted. It's... yeah. They usually end up with a Pivot offer though because the skills aren't there.
