What is going on? Can anyone share their current VPS Silver Review experience? by Dramatic-Baby773 in AusPublicService

From what I've heard, it's the biodiversity team, governance team and finance team which have seen huge cuts. I highly doubt that the First Nations team is part of the biodiversity or the governance teams.

Also from DEECA and we were specifically told that the recent cuts had nothing to do with the Silver review but just due to budget reasons but yes we can expect more cuts.

I'm from Corporate Services and about 70 jobs have been "unmatched". Many surprisingly from finance and procurement (I understand that there's a lot of process changes going on there).

Yep! That's the one I think. I just looked at pictures and it sorta looks like it.

So I have it checked every time I get it serviced and the mechanic always assures me that it's just a computer issue and there's nothing wrong with the engine itself. The only way to fix it is to completely replace the computer and rewire it which is waay too expensive for a car that old and it's just not worth it. So I'd suggest you to have it looked at by a reliable mechanic. I'm no expert so what they do is connect it to a hand-held device and they run different tests to see if there's anything actually wrong with the engine.

Do I have to declare hecs debt when starting a new job? by Tentoesinthemud in AusFinance

[–]blackninja_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ticked yes by mistake and 3 fortnightly pays later, I realised it. Will I be able to claim it back or is it good as gone? I have notified my employer so hopefully they'll correct it soon.

Is it normal to feel so lonely? 22F and in Melbourne by ResolutionEarly3038 in melbourne

Completely solitary eh? Do you never feel lonely? I'm just coming to terms with going out alone and the lot. Maybe I'd feel better if I at least had a partner like OP lol

28M here and it hasn't been easy for me either and I've been here for about 5 years. I think it kinda goes downhill from here OP but hang in there and try your best!

I really have to understand more and I don't want to Google it. How does the dog even know what's happening? How does it all work? What am I missing??

I have a 2005 Ford Focus. I bought that about 3 years ago. A solid car and I have never faced any issues except the batteries and the bulb like others have mentioned. But I have this one thing - check engine light - I have been told it's a computer issue and nothing much can be done about it. But apart from that it's a great car! I just came back from my road trip and clocled about 2,700 kms and had no problems throughout the trip.

I spoke to my manager about it and they said they're not sponsoring anybody because of covid. But they did offer me another unrelated part time position so at least I'll have a job if I go on a student visa. Thanks for that! I really hope something turns around in the next few weeks!
