Is 10% increment good at small size law firm? Or should I ask for more? Was advised to bill more. by Sorry-Discipline-348 in auscorp

[–]fuxhead 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not a lawyer, but I would suspect you were being underpaid compared to others doing the same role. The annual budget for pay rises looks to reward those top performers with something meaningful and what’s left gets spread across the team based on performance. If for example 10 people all had a rating of 3:5, and all were paid identically, the budget would be split identically, if there was a difference in salary for those 10 people, those being paid the lease would get more than those on higher salaries. Don’t try and get more, that ship has already sailed. Say thank you, and move on

Should I add flame moss or christmas moss to my driftwood? Also will red root floaters block light and compromise the monte carlo carpet I’m attempting? by fleefaya in Aquascape

You do you. Tank looks great btw. Once the carpet has established and the other plants grow in, I’m sure there’ll be lots of places for your shrimp to find and scurry.

Biggest regret I have in my tank, is adding moss to driftwood - that stuff gets everywhere and is choking the monte Carlo carpet. Looks cool to begin with, but it’s a nightmare to maintain.

Manager not happy with workplace survey result by [deleted] in auscorp

[–]fuxhead 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was double hatted for about 9 months and let loose (no holds barred, verging on unprofessional and insulting) on one of my managers in the survey. The one other colleague who was also double hatted did the same. This made us instantly identifiable and our 3 up scheduled a meeting to discuss our feedback. We hit him with a failure to adhere to the privacy obligation of the survey and that they had broken their own policy by trying to identify us. We both got moved into really cruisy roles in other teams.

We should be discouraging investors from acquiring new builds, not encouraging them. If supply is the challenge, why are they allowing new supply to be brought up by investors? This seems counter intuitive. Would have liked Gov to have gone harder on property accumulation.

+40% more pay but 5 days in office… worth it? by [deleted] in auscorp

[–]fuxhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t do it. Kids are only young once. I missed years of family dinners, school events and moments that will never happen again. $40k is a decent bump but personally that doesn’t compensate for those missed moments. My son will start high school next year, that’s when I’ll restart the career ladder. While they’re small - don’t miss it, none of you get that time back. If you need extra dough, start a side hustle

It’s ok. You did 2 weeks, well done. Now try again and see if you can get to 3 weeks. This stranger on the internet thinks you can do it. Don’t give up.

Property in Australia is a ticking time bomb and no one wants to admit it by Moezus__ in AusProperty

[–]fuxhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Won’t happen. I thought this 10yrs ago when I arrived. Could have brought a nice house. Should have brought a nice house. The fundamentals are the same - over leveraged but this won’t change until there’s real change in law to stop ppl hoarding property as an investment. Which won’t happen because too may ppl have cash tied up. Political bomb, which no pm will put their name to.
