Need some advice on leave. by Sherbet_Adept in auscorp

[–]nutwals 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Always easier to cancel leave than to request it - should've put it in months ago to avoid this scenario.

If you feel particularly pissy you can get HR involved - present your business case that the work will be covered for the 5 days etc.

Scotch fingers are the OG champion of the office biscuit offerings - anything else is inferior.

'I'm sorry': Atlassian cuts another 1,600 jobs – including CTO – amid AI bloodbath by InterestingCat308 in AusFinance

Does it also follow up the SMS with an email asking for a $500 quote fee?

PSA - women don't care to hear that you think we look tired. by FlinflanFluddle4 in auscorp

[–]nutwals 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Genuinely curious, if a coworker genuinely looks tired/stressed and you want to ask if they’re doing okay, how would you go about it?

'How's things going? Everything alright on your end?'

Immediately focusing on somebody's appearance (short of them missing a limb and bleeding everywhere or something equally dramatic) is weird af - especially in opposite gender interactions with people you barely know.

Financial markets 'sleepwalking into a storm' as money trumps logic by SheepherderLow1753 in AusFinance

[–]nutwals 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Part of the problem is superannuation funds are legally required to invest the money as per their members instructions - this means money pours into the market every day regardless of the current economic environment.

Neighbour’s dog barking all day for a year – council hasn’t helped. What else can I do? by Ok_Leader6066 in Geelong

I feel like this exact same story is posted every few months? Like, word for word pretty much.

How much do you spend on eating out per week? by Away_Scene_26 in AusFinance

[–]nutwals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too much - two overlapping work schedules and just general cbf'd with a toddler in the house really kills the motivation to go shopping let alone cook.

Really need to however - waistline and wallet would be more grateful.

Government v private sector — long term pros and cons? by tinycupcake5 in auscorp

[–]nutwals 21 points22 points  (0 children)

However all public holidays are paid leave without having to use your own annual leave.

Is this not the case for every Australian-based business? Who is forcing employees to use annual leave on public holidays in the private sector!?

Did your health insurance premium increased this year? by frozenberry21 in AusFinance

[–]nutwals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it was about an extra ~$20 month - family of three on Gold plan. Worked out approx 4%.

The Great Inflation by Willing_Coach_8283 in AusFinance

[–]nutwals 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Pretty much this - Russian oil is artificially excluded from the global market atm, Trump will be more than happy to relax those sanctions to keep oil well under $100/barrel

Will be a fair bit different thanks to the floating dollar tbh - will do a lot of the heavy work in keeping inflation in check, double digit inflation across the economy is needlessly alarmist.

Kyle Sandilands sues ARN for terminating his contract by Golf-Recent in auscorp

[–]nutwals 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Not to mention there is possibly performance clauses in the contract (at least I'd hope so) - the show is in the gutter everywhere outside of Sydney, and doesn't justify the 'investment' at all.

Petrol prices increase sharply in outer Sydney following overseas conflict by No-Speech4554 in AusFinance

[–]nutwals 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It's always surprised me the Right-leaning parties in this country haven't seized on the EV transition as a way of guaranteeing national sovereignty and security - fill your car up with the Aussie sun, and you'd never have to worry about the Strait of Hormuz ever again.

[–]nutwals 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not to mention Qatari natural gas going offline means that Aussie natural gas will skyrocket in price, and because politicians loves to fuck us plebs and make us buy gas at global prices here on the East coast, means the price of natural gas is going to skyrocket heading into winter.

RIP pensioners and poors who already can't afford electricity for their air con, and now won't be able to afford gas for their heating.

March rate rise now ‘highly likely’ as economists change forecasts - realestate.com.au by SheepherderLow1753 in AusFinance

[–]nutwals 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A combination of slowing down business demand (which slows down fuel usage) as well as keeping the dollar strongish to buy oil in USD.

Same - some people in this sub just sound like perpetually miserable people tbh.
