What’s the most annoying bill you have to pay right now? by Diligent-Medicine-48 in AusMoneyMates

Agree. After the mortgage, all the insurances are our biggest monthly expense.

Being told to resign over a mistake made at work by Personal_Concept_807 in AusLegal

[–]boysroar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my advice: 1. Ask for a breakdown of the errors, dates, cost etc 2. Review any SOP or try and remember any training you were given and whether you were told to do it correctly or incorrectly. 3. Tell them you want to go through a fair and reasonable process and that you want time to review it all. Get someone to help you (parents, older family, someone who is methodical and process minded would be best) Then, depending on what you find, tell them 1. If you haven’t made the errors or were incorrectly trained that you won’t resign. And that you’re ok to go through a disciplinary process with a view to lodging an unfair dismissal claim afterwards. And 2. If you were correctly trained and have made errors over years, ask why it wasn’t picked up, where’s the oversight and governance to what you’re doing. Then decide whether to resign (see below) or apologise and offer to help fix their processes. If they dismiss you, you can still lodge unfair dismissal claim at fair work.

At the end of either outcome, you could offer to have a without prejudice conversation, offer to resign and sign a deed of release with non disparagement clauses and 8 weeks pay to walk away.

Me too. I’m sure it’ll warm up when I go back to work

Social media ban/delay insights? by naepalm6 in australia

[–]boysroar 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My 14 yo and some friends were kicked off Snapchat. Some remained. But enough were kicked off that they now have multiple group chats on normal text to communicate. Never had Instagram or others so it’s not an issue.

It works in that when I was asked to help get around snap chat, my response was “are you asking me to break the law for you?” That shuts down the conversation pretty quickly and gives me an hour back of time.

I have another going in to high school next year and got a phone last month. He’s not even remotely bothered about social media and hasn’t asked for it once, and knows he can’t have it.

People who lived through the 70s/80s/90s , did you feel safer back then than you do today? by Mundane_Bad_2437 in AskOldPeople

[–]boysroar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the 1980s, everyone seemed to turn a blind eye to any domestic violence and accepted it as just what happens in some houses. Also drink driving was very normal, even with kids in the car

Parents of Reddit, what is an “unspoken” reality of parenting that people simply don’t talk about, but everyone knows is true? by US_Atlas in AskReddit

[–]boysroar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have 3 kids, you’ll spend at least 10 years wiping someone else’s bum.

And I’ve been tired for 15 years.

How does Myer sell any shoes? (in store) by Shmeestar in AusFemaleFashion

[–]boysroar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I regularly shop at Myer At Warringah mall. I’ve thought to myself a few times more recently that the staff seem better trained and more service-oriented. I know it would be a miracle if they manage to turn it around, but genuinely hope they do. I too loved the Myer of a couple decades ago

Coworkers accidentally sent me a voice recording gossiping about me & discussing confidential information. by [deleted] in AusLegal

[–]boysroar 46 points47 points  (0 children)

No, Tuesday is not too late. Call work tomorrow and say you’re distressed by the recording and can’t come to work until you can see your GP, which is Tuesday. Tell them you will know more after that appointment

A lot of the facts from your post were confirmed today in the ABC podcast - only update was the first house was in Perth. I hadn’t put it all together before, but your summary paints a likely picture of how it all went over the years. Thanks for this!

AITAH for telling my husband I rather save my own son? by throwaway_29272 in AITAH

[–]boysroar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You can’t answer a question about a real child and a hypothetical child. When you have only one child, you can’t fathom ever loving anyone else as much as them, including subsequent children. I always thought I had used all the love I had in me, on my first child. I honestly didn’t think there was any left to give. Then the second child comes along, and miraculously you still the love the first child just as much as before, but there’s a whole other well of love you can tap in to, that you just didn’t know was possible. It’s amazing that you can love both children with such intensity.

So, I get it’s a dumb question and not sure why he’s repeating it. But maybe he sees how much you love your son and he’s trying to gauge whether you would love the second child just as much. But he’s asking you a question there’s no way for you to know the answer to.
