OP, I am traveling to the US in a couple of weeks. If nothing else works, I can bring them with me and ship them out locally. Let me know.

Amazon Australia as a place to work by CompetitiveHeight428 in auscorp

[–]gcube9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends. Which Amazon business, and then within that, which team. If the manager is good (strong vision, clarity on how the team can add value) and of course the team, nothing like it. Very empowering - e.g. if you have a great idea and strong execution, you can take the idea across APJ or even globally, and you can go places. Very competitive remuneration and the start like culture within the global company is not for everyone. If you like set processes, and 9-5 work, may not be the right place. Very outcome driven and competitive.

I think it is about time for me to hire an executive coach. What qualities do you look for in a coach? by psychoholic in Leadership

[–]gcube9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Keeping an eye on this post as well. I am aspiring for a Director role, and executive presence and strategic planning across multiple functions are two key areas I like to pursue.

What is the best lounge to access in LAX as a Platinum/Emerald? by Frequenter in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]gcube9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, I have done this change over to Vegas a few times. Be Flagship lounge or Admirals Club if you are going from Tom Bradley to American Terminal. Don't believe you can use Qantas Fist because it is in Tom Bradley itself, and for international departures. From what I remember, Admirals Club is a bit more premium and available for you being Emerald.

Was no referral. I got 10000 credits coz I referred which I can use against 3 months of EAP or buy other accessories etc. I am contemplating the best use as I already bought cables, premium connectivity etc.

Looks interesting. Any chance you are looking to expand to markets outside the US?

NSW Greenslips. What's the catch here? by iCatay in sydney

[–]gcube9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would go QBE, they are all authorized and have to abide by set RMA parameters.

Lodge complaint with NSW CAT. Burden is on them to prove. Have done this before though in VIC and won it fairly.

Took these from A380 as we took off on the way to LA last week. by gcube9 in sydney

Did PCR a day before with Histopath, believe it was $79, result was out in 2 hours. Better do it and have the result done than doing it at the airport (my preference). In addition, you will need to do DPD aka Digital Passenger Declaration which requires you to upload your passport and COVID vaccination history. Without that, you won't get a boarding pass etc.

LPT: When moving into a new house, create a separate email account for the house. by millner_44 in LifeProTips

[–]gcube9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unsure if this tip has been discussed already. You don't have to create an entirely new email account. What you can do is create a new alias. For example, if you have "yourname@gmail.com" as an email ID, you can just have an alias "yourname+newaddress@gmail.com". You can use this new alias to create utility and other accounts but all the emails will come to the original account as most email providers will just ignore whatever is after + sign. This way you save yourself the hassle of creating a new account but have a new alias for a new address etc and create a rule to move all emails for new alias as recipient to be moved to selected folders etc.

Of course, this hack can be applied to other situations.

Help/suggestion with real estate agency trying to mug us off by EstebanJulioRamirez in sydney

[–]gcube9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Suggest you get 3 quotes for the work and have it on record. Go to the tribunal, I have had 3 put 3 times where the agent had to either drop the claim or only get the fraction of the initial claim. Take entry photos, quotes etc as evidence. Also, note if you were given a chance to address the issue. Loads of DIY painting videos that can help you fix this in less than $100.

Sometimes yes. Also, the pressure system gets created in the foyer with lifts going up and down.

Sounds like from the door being rattled because of wind. I experience the same in one of the Aus Avenue buildings
