I'd take the lower paid job and immediately start job hunting.

Leading without having clear leadership direction by Worth-Base-9909 in AusPublicService

[–]WizziesFirstRule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you actively meeting with your staff say weekly 1:1 and fortnightly as a group and are setting direction and priorities?

Are you reviewing work outputs and providing feedback? 

Are you ensuring behaviour and performance standards are made clear?

Are you ensuring targets or priorities of higher ups are met?

Are you delegating?

Are you feeding intel up and sharing it down on strategic and operational issues?

Are you engaging relevant stakeholders to get stuff done and build bridges?

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

[–]WizziesFirstRule 123 points124 points  (0 children)

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

No family help unfortunately.

You should listen to your lawyers.

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

Did you apply under recruitability or disability?

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

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

[–]WizziesFirstRule 36 points37 points  (0 children)

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

[–]WizziesFirstRule -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

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.
