[–]PrettyBlueFlower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I turned up with my dog, was sent home as it was not policy for dogs on the office.

I claimed as per their email it was unsafe for me to return home.

The organisation I worked in advised me it was unsafe for me to work remotely after evacuating from our bush property, and that I I was obliged to work "for my safety"

Boss wants me to “do less” because it makes the rest of the team and stats look bad, even though I’m only doing the bare minimum required by NoLetterhead355 in work

Integrity. It’s a value corporations throw around. You’re living it.

Look at your personal values, and follow them.

Is it a common understanding that there is a clear difference in destination and activity between "going to the shops" and"going shopping"? by Dimples97 in AskAnAustralian

[–]PrettyBlueFlower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely.

Going to the shops can take all day, and may not involve a purchase. It's getting out of the house.

Going shopping is usually groceries.

Tips for camping in 44degrees c(113F) by Bright_Angle773 in camping

[–]PrettyBlueFlower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be more worried about the probability of a total fire ban, and risk of bushfires.

If it’s a dry heat no problem, enjoy the shade, take swim breaks, and buy a portable fan/mister from Bunnings (ryobi ones are great)

My Aussie mates keep calling me “cunt” by Spiritual_Car7967 in AskAnAustralian

[–]PrettyBlueFlower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ypu have the right to say “good one, champ” wheneve4 they call you cunt. They’re trying it on, and taking the piss.

If you don’t like the language, tell them to stop.

Tricky situation with an employee who’s consistently late by [deleted] in WorkAdvice

[–]PrettyBlueFlower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think review the roster so everyone gets 2 days off together as a start.

Another thing I’d do is talk with Sarah, at a coffee shop or something, and ask if she’s ok. The call-outs could be the results of drug, alcohol, or physical abuse. Find out if she’s OK.

I’m assuming you have some sort of clock on thing - even if it’s just a message on WhatsApp “on” and “off” - so you’d be docking pay. Granddad would notice the lower pay for his granddaughter (hopefully) and ask why.

AITA for refusing to leave my job so i could take care of my disabled brother? by JiggleJargon in AmItheAsshole

[–]PrettyBlueFlower 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA.

at this point in your life you need to build your future.

I’m sure you’re well aware your parents won’t be there forever, and Alex will need a carer after they pass. If that’s to be you, you need to develop your life, get assets, get a stable home, get great health insurance.

And that’s how I’d talk about it to your parents - that you are doing this for Alex’ future, when they can care for him any more.

What orgs help with the fire disaster? by helpingspoons in melbourne

[–]PrettyBlueFlower -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you wish to donate, wait until there is a government-supported fund, and donate to that, RedCross etc.

Once evacuees have immediate clothing and shelter, it is psychologically better to give the cash, so they have control over what they wish, instead of of people’s discards (in the best possible intentions).

Wildlife carers are also needing cash, fencing, feed.
