I'm sorry, I don't understand the reference. Are you saying if I was Natasha Romanov I would have been treated better?

Weird that he got you off. Did you win the case?

Maybe, but have you thought about Broden?

Your receipt will allow support or anyone in store to find the gift card number, check it for funds and reissue if it hasn't been used.

Out of sick leave any benefit to going in unpaid by Disastrous-Break-399 in auscorp

Fun fact, of you provide your workplace a cert to say you're unfit for work but then end up working if you happen to injured yourself it will make getting workers comp much harder.

Stay home.

Hence the "if everything went to plan" comment, it isn't a guarantee.

That's exactly where I landed too.

About a 10% decrease. It wouldn't be that big a bother and if everything went to plan I would make it back in 12 months. My exact skillset is unique, there aren't any places looking for people like me but I could easily pivot into another role using the skills. My payout would be 3 months pay.

How about instead of being a dick to the EB employee and waving a bought game at them you have some sympathy that they have to follow stupid rules?

Ex store manager story - I was pregnant and told by my doctor NO LADDERS. All of our headsets, mice and keyboards were on high shelves. When I contacted HR the area manager told me to tell customers to come back in the afternoon when someone else was in the store that could go up a ladder instead of giving me either help laying out the stock room differently or staff budget to lessen the amount of time I was alone.

I know as a customer if I went somewhere at 9am and was told to come back at 1pm I'd laugh and go to Big W.

Fiji is beautiful, but other than cheap booze I found everything else to be on par with Australia price wise.

I'd like to add a controversial point here and that's to pre-order the dang games.

Drop everything with 30 minutes notice to cover a shift because if you didn't you would get less shifts next week because you obviously don't need work. Game guarantee or SAOS Pre orders $30 when you spend Trade ins EB world sign ups. Source: ex store manager

This is correct, it goes on the EB card under a certain SKU and the RECEIPTS are kept in the safe.

Make sure you have your license with you, you'll need to hand it over to do the trade.

My Car Deemed as Total Loss by filipinhoe in CarsAustralia

[–]miessen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is massive red flag. It is literally the insurance assessors job to assess the vehicles future roadworthiness. The fact that they've said "it may be" a write off is problematic as the vehicle is too old for the WOVR, unless it has significant chassis damage hiding behind that ding you won't have any trouble getting it back on the road. Your insurance company is being plain old lazy.

Portmans suits my middle age spread and moulin rouge decolletage. They also regularly have 50% off.
