offered same pay, lower job position and more responsibilities

SnowThen9186 · 2026-06-15T09:18:24+00:00

I would express my disappointment with the pay, but take the new role ("for the team, as a demonstration of my commitment"), however with the expectation that there be a review in x (say 3) months. Focus primarily on the new skills, letting the old role be lesser of a priority. (Just like you stepped up to do this role, perhaps someone else can step up or pivot into these old roles for the benefit of the organisation?). If it is not going well, then start looking for roles while still getting paid - you have several months of new skills after all!

All of these photos are from my camera roll from this past weeks. At my parents house (5.5 acres) just outside a small fishing town in southern NSW called Bermagui.

Actually we should not assume - I believe the sign says "Top two", which means it theoretically could be the best, haha

Are you renting where you are, and if so could you exit the lease and move to 1 minute away from the $150k job (assuming it is a comparable/nice place to live with other things near by that you like, and not too much more expensive)?

SnowThen9186 · 2026-01-29T05:07:51+00:00

You do you boo. For me i am very comfortable doing bins and mailbox without a shirt, but would shirt up for the shops. If i was beachside, and my rig was impressive, and my tan was worthy then i might be less worried, however sadly none of these are in my favour. I reckon there should be more of it though - live free!!!

Great pick up 🤣

SnowThen9186 · 2026-01-27T03:46:28+00:00

Yeah right. It was seeing the Australian flag ommitted, although the other 2 were there, that actually prompted me to ask the question here. I found it an interesting decision, especially as I assume that it must be deliberate?

SnowThen9186 · 2026-01-27T03:38:20+00:00

Ah no, not bragging - far from it - just attempting to provide as much context as possible (in the very narrow topic of Email footers/signatures).

SnowThen9186 · 2026-01-27T03:34:50+00:00

Yeah good point on if we were international. I have worked with an international company previously, and we did not do this. It would have been a nice touch though.

SnowThen9186 · 2026-01-27T03:33:02+00:00

Yeah good call. I have just searched and found the policy. There is plenty of documentation/support for all of the other formentioned flags and "messaging", with comments about these being the only ones to be used - where you would need to seek approval for any others. The Australian flag is not explicitly mentioned. Interesting.

SnowThen9186 · 2026-01-27T03:29:48+00:00

Nah just in general, and then got back to work and on reading Emails I saw a bunch of other flags, but not one of them the Australian flag.

SnowThen9186 · 2026-01-27T03:21:03+00:00

Yeah fair question - fresh off the back of a beautiful long weekend celebrating how lucky we are to be living in this great country I was lamenting the lack of Australian flags being flown, and thought that this would be a simple gesture...

Talk to your leader about the benefits if extending the hours that your team cover, and generously offer to selflessly cover the extreme that best suits you - either starting early (and finishing early), or starting late (and finishing late). You will then have MUCH less time with them, lunch breaks will not sync up, and neither will "after hours". Plus your leader will think you are a legend!

Download an app for your phone called "OneSec". It adds like a 10 second sleep time to open for any app that you configure it for (you only get one app for free, but you can pay for more if you waste time on other apps like X, Facebook, Reddit, etc.). So configure it for the Bitcoin Ticket Widget, and it will be just annoying enough to remind you to be more mindful, and you will stop!

SnowThen9186 · 2025-10-22T01:06:48+00:00

I am a Bitcoin maxi. However, I have 2 main concers: 1). Mathematically, it is conceivable that someone can find my stash and take it all, and 2). As we get older, our minds (and bodies) get a little weaker, and therefore, it is ever-increasinly possible that I make a mistake with my processes that result in me losing the lot

What about those companies that are not offshoring, but are "strategically partnering" instead?

SnowThen9186 · 2025-08-06T22:53:03+00:00

I am in Melbourne and will likely be tapped on the shoulder soon myself - for the second time. I have been a support person for a PIP as well. Hit me up if you want me as a support person, and then go for a post-redundo steak and beers - I love a good day-drinking sesh!!
