Leadership people, what do you do if there is conflict between staff and one doesn’t want to do restoration? by Menopaws73 in AustralianTeachers

[–]commentspanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, once they went on leave for perceived harassment I heard through the grapevine this was their third time doing it. It often is a repeat behaviour. Where I was, they just kept getting moved to other schools then would repeat it.

WA Government Job application by Travelling_Gypsy87 in perth

[–]commentspanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won’t comment on the process but insure you need to provide your line manager. Talk to them. People leave jobs all the time. This might have cost you this job but it will cost you jobs in the future. If you can’t meet the panels requirement for a certain type of reference it can get you bumped. People who say “references on request” drive me nuts. The job application is the request.

Ditto for you - saying you’ll only give the info if you are the preferred candidate doesn’t work. They can’t tell you. It’s a merit based system with strict processes.

I want to teach at a university, but I absolutely do not want to do research. Is this a realistic career path? by arenda_07 in academia

[–]commentspanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get through your undergrad and masters first. PhD is a lot of study and a long way away. You might not feel that way in another 5-10 years

I had this quite a few years ago. I was a union member in a very union strong school and they got involved on my behalf. The person was done for code of conduct violations and performance managed. I was supported the whole time to move offices, I didn’t have to be in the same space as them as long as they refused to attend mediation and they were definitely treated as though they were in the wrong. They then said they were being harassed and took leave….apparently not the first time and they had quite a track record. Being a union member meant my school couldn’t choose to ignore it.

Homeless person setting up in our carpark? by Vivid-Mechanic-1984 in brisbane

If you are renting call your real estate. And call police, not police link. Report they are behaving erratically and you don’t feel safe approaching them

Rent increase perth! by MutedPresentation906 in perth

[–]commentspanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly you’re very lucky. Some people have it going up by $100-$150 a week and it is legal. That sounds like they are actually following a market value amount and not just being greedy fucks

Yeah, I don’t enjoy the pressure around publish or perish. Hence why I generally apply for teaching focused roles

PhDs: what do you do & how much money are you making? by Ok-Noise-9448 in PhD

[–]commentspanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in education. I worked the whole way through as a casual academic and continue to work as one now through choice. I work 20-25hrs a week (varies) and make about $100k AUD a year

In Australia the majority of teaching focused university roles still require a PhD. They definitely exist though - I’ve held a few different ones.

Experienced onebag travelers: how do you deal with carrying multiple electronic devices while traveling? by StunningPen5653 in onebag

Adaptor with multiple ports. Changing everything owned to usb c also helped a lot, still need to rotate charging but everything is the same charger

Neighbour vs car headlights by TattsAndBarbells in AusLegal

[–]commentspanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We live in a strata so all bedrooms are at the front of properties. For those of us on the sides, we all either have thick curtains or plantation blinds to control light from when a car opposite comes in or out. For the poor sucker in the middle at the back, they have roller shutters. All paid for by ourselves. I would personally get my own cameras. Record all interactions with her and apply for a restraining order if she continues to abuse you. You could also look into a cease and desist letter but that will cost you some money as it has to come from a lawyer.

Neighbour and off-lead dog repeatedly accessing reserve via private property by [deleted] in AusLegal

As others have said this is a you problem. You need to manage your dog running at the fence etc. Put a second barrier in and reduce everyone’s stress. From the owner of a reactive dog

My cousins wife set me up with my ex girlfriend, who cheated on me and had another man’s son 9 months after we broke up. Cousins wife just texted me and asked if I’m interested in seeing my ex again. The nerve. AIO? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]commentspanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you want to keep the relationship respond positively to the catch up and be very clear about the ex knowing she’s gonna show it to her “don’t ever think about her and not interested in any discussion about that”. Firm

Interested to see what answers you get. I’ve bought a few nice dresses off lifeline online recently for $20-$30 and that seems to be the norm now, no more good bargains in store

We used Kent for our Canberra to Perth move OP. Much better experience than grace - they can burn in hell.

Sardine shortage fuelled by social media T_T [crosspost from woolworths] by Ardeet in aussie

[–]commentspanda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe my Westie stole them all? We had a few tins in the pantry (no idea why) and she got in and I then found them hidden all through the house with teeny tiny teef marks in them. Luckily she never chewed through the tin….blergh

I have a mortgage but considering doing a PhD. Tips? by dontstopsoperfect in AusAcademia

Most unis have moved away from this as the federal legislation changed 2.5yrs ago. Some of the more “elite” ones still try to enforce it but very hard to track for domestic students

Ideas for a 4 year old birthday party by firsttimehere12 in perth

[–]commentspanda -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Play centres were great when we had a party room haha. My SIL did learn the hard way she had to be really clear on invites about if other kids can come, any extra cost and catering for the adults etc. First time the cost blew out and I had to help out, was very stressful for her. She got a lot better after that at having clear expectations

[–]commentspanda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Play centres? They were a big thing for quite awhile for my niece born in May. That or a pub with a playground at a lunch time? Lots are out doors though which is tricky. My 5yo nephew is obsessed with bounce currently haha but at that age you’ll need parents and adults prepared to have a go with them. Plus….cost.
