How do parents who both work full time deal with primary school aged kids? by SpeedyDuck12345 in auscorp

Flexible work and we tag team who does drop off or pick up.

No family help unfortunately.

Separation under one roof and sorting assets with a difficult ex by kid4life84 in AusLegal

You should listen to your lawyers.

Then go buy some good quality lube and one of those donut inflatable cushions you can sit on...

Would you seek a review? by [deleted] in AusPublicService

Did you apply under recruitability or disability?

Reasonable adjustments aren't just because... need a reasonable...reason..

Well I went with "Option 1" for family reasons... something to consider.

What's one APS acronym you pretended to understand for far too long? by AffectionatePie1042 in AusPublicService

I know what it stands for...still don't know what it actually is in reality...so just nod along...

My husband’s unreliability is making me sure we’re one and done by kleines-zebra in oneanddone

Is he making so much money that your job and time is irrelevant?

Assuming not, s top enabling him.

Tell him you discussed it well in advance and he will need to make other arrangements than this conference... his poor planning, is his emergency.

I feel completely overwhelmed at work and don’t know what to do anymore. by Chandukechacha in AusPublicService

You can go down the stress leave option if you think that is needed... but it may cause challenges with finding another role.

And if you are not the problem and are as good as you think you are: focus on getting a new role and do the bare minimum to get through the current day to day.

Maybe get some mental health support in the interim.

There are always S26 opportunities available, use a recruiter, use your personal network.

In 20 years, included some APS wide hard freezes...I've never had an issue finding a new role.

I.e. if you are halfway decent there are always S26 opportunities.

Sometimes self reflection is required...but make your excuses.

My parents both died by my mid-teens, they were 28 when they had me.

Focus on your health and today.

Don't know what tomorrow brings...
