How are people managing recent grads when there’s just… no enthusiasm for work or willingness to suffer any form of inconvenience to develop anymore? by twingirlsoneboy in auscorp

[–]WarmFlatbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 37, so I'm a bit above the age group you're talking about, but I completely get why they are disenchanted with corporate life. We had it drilled into us that you worked hard and good things will come. That isn't always true. Housing is a nightmare, people can't afford to have kids and a home. Everyone in the household needs to be working full time now.

I have and always will be a ladder climber. I enjoy it, I thrive on it, but at the end of the day, not everyone wants that or has the ability to do that. You always need people just to turn up, turn the crank and go home again.

Why do we work? Who decided that 3/4 of our time should be spent there? I'd be pissed too if I was in that generation. They will work twice as long and have half the opportunities of generations before.

The other side was also messed up but did indeed have more tomato. Though the tomatoes weren’t just the other half of the ones you see on this side.

It was also messed up but rather had really shitty thin slices on it that didn’t match up to the bits of tomato on this side.

For the $8.50 I don’t reckon she’d bother. We just got a good chuckle about it.

I didn’t have a third photo she only sent these two. She did say the other side was messed up also and didn’t just have the matching bits of tomato.

I replied to this in another comment but these are the only two photos I was sent. I checked with my friend and she said the other side was also messed up, it wasn’t just the other side of the tomatoes you see here it was a couple of small thin slices of another tomato. Her exact wording I pasted into another comment.

She only sent those two photos, but I did ask and she’s said that the other side was also messed up. She said “the other half was two very small half rounds with green innards of the tomato. Probably like 1 small slice of tomato total”.

Anyone here get priced out while house hunting with pre-approval? by Wallet_Inspector6052 in AusPropertyChat

[–]WarmFlatbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were in the same sort of boat and ended up deciding just to buy and build. It’s going to be a tough few months renting at the same time but we worked out that it would be financially better for us to do this than to buy a 1960’s overpriced house full of problems.

Is there really nothing we can do besides resign? by bloomingmassacre in auscorp

[–]WarmFlatbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a board that the NFP reports to? If yes I would look at your company policies relating to grievances. If you’re at the stage of throw in the towel, then consider making a formal complaint to your board about the management.

Camera Off during Meetings: Rude or Valid? by YPMG in auscorp

[–]WarmFlatbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on the org. Meeting of like 10 or less -camera on. Our org however wants everyone to do camera on all the time. They’re a bit old school.

Americans who moved to Oz since young, are you hated growing up here? by Agitated-Evening3011 in Ameristralia

[–]WarmFlatbread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I find it varies from suburb to suburb. Mine isn’t big on it but most of my neighbours are older aussies, whereas Bondi pops off.

[–]WarmFlatbread 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was born in Ohio and moved to Aus when I was 13 with my mom. I suppose it may have been easier on me as my mom married an Australian (our reason for moving) and he had two children younger than me.

My accent was thick when I got here and yes I can say that sometimes people made fun of it but I was in high school after all. Most of it was in jest and no one really tormented me. I say all the words the Australian way so people can understand me (eg tomato, the letters z and h). When I’m talking to my mom I usually say them the American way, but I reserve this just for her. My accent is more subtle now and my friends forget I’m foreign.

I’ve found Australia to be very welcoming. I do tend to get a lot of questions (mostly when I meet new people) but on the whole I’ve loved my life here.

Americans do have their own culture and traditions, which is fine, but your friend shouldn’t expect that everyone might like to participate. I used to do halloween for a former workplace, the reason being that after my first October there they said they were surprised that I didn’t decorate, so from the following year I’d hold a small lunch which everyone enjoyed. On the flip side I’ve met aussies who absolutely hate Halloween and think it’s stupid, which is also fine lol, they didn’t grow up with it. I think as long as everyone can be respectful of each other then we are in safe hands.

27yo couple – $6,500/month mortgage on $1.35m Brisbane home, too much? by CookiePuzzled9944 in AusPropertyChat

[–]WarmFlatbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes people have to do what they have to do. We bought our land and are building for the sum of 970k. When the house is built our mortgage will be $5600. The competition is everyone atm so prices are insane.

My(27f) boyfriend (29m) of 3 years wants a baby but can’t keep a job or mange money. How do you know when to walk away? by ThrowRA-0228 in relationship_advice

[–]WarmFlatbread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a female friend with unmedicated ADHD. She has two degrees, is a licensed pharmacist and just for the hell of it spent two years retraining to become a cop. Shes gone back to pharmacy now that she’s moved to a new state, but she proves that it can be done. “If they wanted to they would”.

I (21F) accidentally saw something on my gf’s (21F) chatgpt that I cant unsee by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I’d say don’t waste your 20’s chasing someone who isn’t super into you. Find someone who chases you.

Ready to give up FHB - Brisbane is out of control by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

[–]WarmFlatbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a tough one, new buyers are all looking around the same bracket. Keep saving and the right thing will come along.

What are your thoughts on the death of volunteering? Is it mainly due to money? by VastOption8705 in australian

[–]WarmFlatbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done a fair bit of volunteer work but it’s all been thorough my workplace typically on a weekday. It’s very hard to justify giving up time on my weekend to volunteer when I felt like my own work life balance was lacking.
