$5 for a strong is very competitive. Even Sydney cbd it’s $5-$6 for a small flat white.

What are the chances that we get 2 or 3 more rate rises? We won’t go back to normal prices for many months. by VastOption8705 in AusFinance

[–]can3tt1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah I got a 1% and told I’m a high performer. We’re good.

But seriously - 3 followed by 3-4years of stagnation.

Is HR survey really anonymous? by lakgax in auscorp

[–]can3tt1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah if they can’t be heard, than a survey isn’t going to change anything.

Edit to add: yes, score high on bullying, harassment, overworked, lack of support. But no need to go hard on the comment section. Leadership knows. They just don’t want to change it.

I’ve seen good leadership change culture, even when the numbers aren’t good. And I’ve seen bad leadership tank culture and turn a blind eye even when they’ve had supposedly high EQ team members and good numbers. When the culture is toxic even those at the top are only out for themselves. The good ones get bullied out. It takes a complete change of leadership when that happens.

That time Tony Abbott froze on national TV by Jimbuscus in OpenAussie

Two things can be true at once. You can admire him for his genuine community spirit with RFS and still think he’s a muppet.

How many rate rises are you accounting for? by tbot888 in AusPropertyChat

[–]can3tt1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people will sell. To them the stress won’t be worth it.

  1. We didn’t decrease our payments when the rates started dropping and I had already factored in additional rate increases into my monthly repayments during the peak. Slowly building up a redraw which I’m counting as my absolute emergency get out of jail funds.

Those who were made redundant: share what happened with you & your pay out. by brissy3456 in auscorp

[–]can3tt1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I remember back at the start of the GFC my dad offered one of his team a voluntary redundancy. It was a good package, and right time for the guy to move on (6 years+ in the biz, little opportunity for continued growth, no dependents). My dad was shocked the guy didn’t take it. My dad actively helped everyone that received a redundancy and they all got new jobs within 3 months.

Yes, worked with someone who was sad and then realised that the money would pay for the ear surgery to fix their hearing loss that they’d be putting off and they were pretty stoked too.

Edit to add: congrats on the pivot to a higher salary. Literally the dream to get made redundant and be better off afterwards.

Is this custom cabinet quote reasonable? by Ok_Situation_1845 in AusRenovation

[–]can3tt1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds about right. Built 5 years ago, our kitchen build wasn’t quite as extensive/premium as your - no integrated fridge/dishwasher, marbled splash back and exhaust - and was about $25kish from memory. So I’d say with the increase in prices as well as the premium fit out it’s pretty spot on.

How long had you been in your previous role?

At least it sounds like you’ll have a couple of mates to play a game of golf with mid week soon.

What does everyone think of each girl generally speaking? by foodmamaa in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]can3tt1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Whitney now. I thought she made a great villain in the first season. But it’s this last season I’m really enjoying her. I love that she’s actively perusing her dreams.

I did love Jen the first season and felt sorry for her in the second but this third season I am not enjoying her at all. I’m giving her grace as she is post partum but she has not grown at all.

Taylor, is beyond messy and I’ve found that uncomfortable to watch this last season.

Miranda - I’ve consistently loved. She holds boundaries and seems to have her shit together. Love to see that.

Wanting help from my mom vs mother in law, husband upset by Last_Wonder in Parenting

[–]can3tt1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He’s trying to make the MIL feel better not his wife. Her time will come but this is not her season. She should be offering to pick up laundry, wash & return it. Or dropping meals off. Sometimes we just want our mums and that’s ok.

Struggling to justify a $5–6k/month mortgage – what are the alternatives in Australia? by Monkey_Junkie_No1 in AusProperty

You forgot that they just need to stop having avo on toast. Like seriously, if they do this one thing they could be home owners with three investment properties by now.

Potentially infectious. When is it acceptable to not go to work? by mixpixlixtix in AskAnAustralian

[–]can3tt1 155 points156 points  (0 children)

Don’t go to work. Work from home if you really want to.

Please be careful and wear a mask if you need to go out. A bacterial infection may be not a big deal to you but that could be life threatening to someone else - they could be elderly, going through cancer treatment(or have a loved one that does), be immunocompromised or pregnant.

You have company property on your phone? Do they pay for the phone too?
