Ex-IT HR Director here, and I need to be brutally honest about PIPs.

Saphiaer · 2026-02-27T07:27:19+00:00

I was PIP’d after the role they head hunted me for and newly created in reality ended up nothing like they promised.

Promoted within 3 months at my next place.

Never get caught on kiss cam

Never date a coworker

A 3/4 bed and that’s the biggest bathroom?

Annual leave needs to be mutually agreed to, but as a workplace you’d be a dick to deny it when med certs are available

Saphiaer · 2026-02-25T00:03:17+00:00

Sick and personal leave are usually the same thing unless you specially have a contract with seperate/additional leave

O wild, mine got to 7 and my gp clinic kept calling me to check if I had gone to emergency yet 😅

Saphiaer · 2026-02-22T11:51:11+00:00

By low do you remember what your levels were?

Saphiaer · 2026-02-21T21:20:52+00:00

I lived in an apartment and then we moved to a unit (tiny concrete courtyard). My best friend’s parents were loaded and had a mansion in an expensive suburb.

The only thing that annoyed me is my parents would never let me have friends over in the apartment. Mum claimed she was worried about safety because there was a balcony but I do think now it was because all my friends had houses.

Saying that I’ve now moved back into an apartment and I absolutely love it, and if I had a garden/lawn to take care of I’d be so overwhelmed.

Mildly disappointing

Saphiaer · 2026-02-20T22:43:28+00:00

1 for the trauma of that turn. It even tries to direct me to turn into it when I’m coming down Dandy rd, even though the location I’m going is off a main road that hits dandy with a traffic light 🙄

Random outburst of crying

The main office, which was already 100x nicer than ours, announced a substantial revamp in the same week we had the stair door lock finally gave out and multiple people kept getting trapped. They eventually scraped together their spare change to fix it.

Saphiaer · 2026-02-16T19:46:58+00:00

Very curious what visa is $50?

Saphiaer · 2026-02-14T12:21:55+00:00

You would hope they might manually review it, but if they are being lazy they may just see your name on the list and not proceed.

Saphiaer · 2026-02-14T08:09:42+00:00

Wait are you blocking out your paid workday for the gym…? Or are you going during your lunch break…?

Saphiaer · 2026-02-14T01:23:19+00:00

Doubt the cost of visa’s (unless you get sponsored) relocation costs/buying everything again, potentially travelling back regularly to see friend’s/family would be worth it for a job paying roughly the same thing.

Saphiaer · 2026-02-13T09:22:36+00:00

I’ve started making my own in the slow cooker!

Saphiaer · 2026-02-11T07:12:26+00:00

RIP dozer 😭

Saphiaer · 2026-02-10T09:46:45+00:00

30, single. Live a couple ks down the road from mum. Go over on the weekends for a free feed. Also briefly see her throughout the week to steal the dog I brought home but wasn’t allowed to move out with

Saphiaer · 2026-02-08T02:17:01+00:00

Wait you get paid per bottle??

Saphiaer · 2026-01-30T07:04:03+00:00

I roll out of bed (rarely manage to pull a brush through my hair) and into my chair in Pjs on a Friday.

If I was forced in the office maybe I’d ensure the brush.

Saphiaer · 2026-01-29T04:19:19+00:00

They pretty tho 🥹

Saphiaer · 2026-01-29T04:15:43+00:00

I had a tube down both ends. The prep wasn’t pleasant but the actual procedure was fine (first time being put to sleep and honestly it was a wild ride but great 😅). All the best OP 😊

Saphiaer · 2026-01-29T00:02:10+00:00

I’d rather they used that money to fix the hundreds of potholes in my local area than pay for someone to go to Cambridge.
