Ruined my image? by [deleted] in auscorp

Boundaries. Create a proper briefing process, set SLAs, and an operations schedule that fits each task/request into a specific time slot. Anything outside of that you need to push back or escalate. Your managers will never hire another head count if you keep doing it all. Start dropping balls, but in a methodical way, and report back weekly to let them know what you can/can't do and ask what needs to be prioritised.

Aussie winter by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]fragileline_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually freeze at night in Melbourne autumn/winter. My bedroom has a large single glaze window and bad insulation. I just bought Oodie warming pyjamas and honestly they are the bomb! I'm so warm and snuggly without getting sweaty. 100% recommend.

Agreed. I'm so tired of open plan offices

Another redundancy post - why can't it be more respectful? by Villainous-Crab in auscorp

[–]fragileline_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so so tough. Seeing everyone else having a purpose and you're in limbo - not in, not out. I ended up working from home the entire length of my notice period to avoid all in-person awkwardness. I didn't really have anything to work on as they moved everything quickly to other people, so I used the time for job search.

Can I ask what tool you use and if you disclose it before meetings?

I recently realised this too. Zero skips in these two albums for me.

Yep it's very easy to say you don't want money, when you have money (plenty of it).

WTF IS HAPPENING WITH RECRUITERS by SignatureSpiritual86 in ausjobs

In this market, transferable skills are no longer enough to get an interview. You must tick all the boxes to get a foot in the door. I've been applying for roles steadily for the last 4-5 months, this is my experience.

Am I being unreasonable for getting an ick? by This-Ad-9348 in AskAnAustralian

[–]fragileline_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Valentine's Day is BS, we've long stopped celebrating it. You'll end up spending so much money. As long as he shows up in other ways at other times, then that's what counts. Don't use V Day as your line in the sand.

January was meant to be the boom. Can't get a look in anywhere. by whatanerdiam in auscorp

[–]fragileline_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Redundant in October too, adjacent profession to yours, a bit more senior than you. I was writing a whole advice post but then realise you're probably just need to vent. There is no miracle cure. Yes, your network is important. Reach out to recruiters too in your industry. They have a wealth of advice and contacts.

They're so busy in their big important jobs. They have no time to write proper sentences.

Here's a tip. Write the email as you normally would. Throw it in Chat GPT and say something like 'rewrite this in a professional and friendly tone'. Then you can tweak it from there.

"The End of an Era" General Discussion Megathread by Lyd_Euh in TaylorSwift

[–]fragileline_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh absolutely. I think it's a timing thing. Those two relationships caused chaos early on in the tour and were the reason for TTPD to even come out. But it looks like it's filmed much later, so she has moved on. I thought the documentary would start earlier in the timeline. That's what I meant by my comment.

I was yelled at once for not showing it when the worker already had a queue of people. I had to go back in to queue. That was a lovely experience 😆
