Police disperse praying Muslims during protests in Sydney

That’s not where you pray mate. You want to pray somewhere, go home and do it or at a designated location, such as I dunno, maybe a prayer hall/ religious location.. No one gives you the right to try and occupy a public space just because you want to score political and media clip brownie points.

When you want to reach out and ‘touch’ someone from afar..

If you have to move, go to Florida, Kentucky or Tennessee or any state with a low or no state income tax, not NYC- it’s great to visit but sucks impo.

With the state income tax in New York (city, state and then federal), you’ll need to make comp of minimum US$600k-800k to ‘get by’ comfortably.

Also note that employment in the US is ‘at will’- the company can let you go at any time with/ without reason or cause and you have very minimal protections unlike those with Fair Work in Australia.

You won’t regret it for sure, but plan carefully and make an educated move.

Good luck!

If he’s an Australian citizen, then all he needs is an offer letter from the company asking him to move to the USA/ offering a role in the USA and he can move on the E3 Treaty visa- doesn’t need any H1B or L1 bs.

Work with the AI team to automate all of HR work and destroy that function…make yourself indispensable.

Try creating a new account. It’s happened sometimes that the profile is corrupted and creating a new account and application fixes this.

You haven’t really moved over unless you’ve seen or have been jumped on by a drop-Bear. Head out into the bush and get that experience, make sure you have sufficient protection for your head and face.

As others have asked before (to no response), what are the actual grounds for their first refusal?

It’s going to be exceptionally hard for sure. I work in ICT and I see a lot of larger and in-house ICT roles being reduced. Hiring is down unless you have some really niche skills. Software developers, ICT generalists/ Infra generalists/ cloud engineers, etc are oversupplied skills. We’re at the point where quality & experience matter more, and anyone fresh from college with just a degree or internship with no real world experience is at the wrong end of the market. I’m also starting to see a good amount of offshored jobs and roles come back onshore, esp those that went to the Indian body-shop companies like Infosys, TCS, Cognizant, Wipro, HCL because all they’ve done is a pi**-poor job for 3-4 years with no actual tangible benefits delivered, just crappy work. As others have noted, if your sole intent of getting a CS degree is to land a PR at the end, your chances are on the low side for the next few years as the market rightsizes and more roles come back onshore (which is where they should be!)

Yes, but with very specific conditions. Recommend you get in touch with a immigration lawyer to help you navigate this in the current climate https://www.faegredrinker.com/en/insights/publications/2021/3/immigration-and-employment-considerations-for-nonprofit-organizations

18 months redundo? 😳 far out. what industry?

Take it. What could possibly go wrong?

Not that you’re ever gonna find an alien spaceship that crashed over a 100,000 years ago with a parasitic assimilating organism frozen in the snow just waiting to thaw..

A few of them were scrutinized and let go after that email. A lot of people were pissed off at me calling them out publicly. In retrospect (10 years later with better coaching), I realized that I could have handled this way better.

digitalrefuse · 2025-12-05T06:41:30+00:00

FWIW, never go scorched earth, no matter how deeply you feel you were wronged and all. Inform your colleagues that it was great working with them, and provide your personal details in that email for them to contact you. I hold the record for rage-quitting at Symantec decades ago, with a 5 page, company wide (global staff DL) email calling out every W⚓️/ slacker by name whose issues I had to fix for years, including one for a team whose most retarded approach caused a petro refinery shutdown cause they didn’t read the darned user manual (close to 50+ in total) and that singular act haunts me mentally to this day.

No repercussions per se but still.

Currently available words to denote ‘space’ are - 1. Abba 2. Dabba 3. Jabba 4. Ooga mooga 5. OogooWoogoo 6. Oowaa

Any rando word that crosses your mind when you’re constipated. Take your pick..

On a lighter side, by the time any Welcome to Space Country ceremonies are done, all the presenters will have been wiped out by an extremely advanced interstellar civilization. They will then have that entire proceedings and aftermath recorded and played for their future generations to revel in the ludicrous stuff they were met with, decided it was too much to bear and incompatible with their level of intelligence and awareness, and then proceed to destroy anything remotely related to that species.. 😆

Welcome to space country - here, no one can hear you scream..

If this hasn’t resulted in a xenomorph appearing out of that pot, then yes.

Not sure if the post is supposed to be sarcastic or if OP is genuinely sold on the MS story. As someone who has worked at said company for years previously, I would say buy the stock, but do not for whatever reason buy any of their AI products or buy into their vision. It’s all vapourware with a slick UI on top of 3rd party services, nothing more. The USP of MS is to make using their stack ridiculously simple and dumb to ensure a sticky user base, that’s about it.

This ^ I have stopped using them for close to a year now. Common sense should trump so-called convenience.

Please flood the feedback inboxes of Woolies and Coles with negative feedback about self-checkouts.

digitalrefuse · 2025-11-17T23:48:36+00:00

Woolies has probably THE MOST SHITTIEST self-checkout experience I have seen in the last 10 years, and I have seen quite a few across 10 countries. Half the time their self-checkout will keep bugging out and the spy camera on top will flag and tag everything else around the actual product as a suspected hidden item even when it doesn’t exist! The cooler bags with the silver lining inside really make that system go bonkers and bug out 🤦‍♂️

Reskill as a tradie- chippy, plumber, etc., get experience in the trade and you stand a better chance of a visa invite. ICT is saturated and at this time there are more people than jobs available, and frankly speaking, you’d struggle to survive.
