They denied my raise. Apparently doing 45 hour weeks isn’t enough. Go fuck yourselves.

Ahh well, act your wage I guess.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Damn straight. Now they get an average employee.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Silver lining is you know exactly where you stand with them. When you move on, it won’t be a shock.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 months ago
That really does suck. Time to stick to the job description and use that time for other applications
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I’m pretty much applying on my phone while I’m at work lol
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 months ago
What a bunch of fuck heads. Losing staff left right and centre and then refusing to accommodate you is so stupid. They know the place is going down the toilet.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
These guys are a whole other level of stupid.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 months ago
What a bummer. Especially when this place had such promise when you first started. Sounds like you’ve exhausted every avenue and it’s time to move on… Hope you manage to jump this sinking ship soon, seems like nothing but bad news all around.
Sooner you get a new role the sooner you can think about moving house too.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I honestly felt this was the best job I had. Of course, I get anxious thinking “am I overreacting”? But then I remember that we’ve lost close to a dozen people in less than 3 months.
I’ll be out soon hopefully, I’ve got interviews this week.
I’m trying to move house ASAP, but I don’t think I can swing it just yet. But we’ll see.
tone212_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
That’s so bad. Really digging their heads in the sand with the chaos going around them.

I was working with one of my clients to sign a 1.5 million dollar contract.
Not anymore.

I’m so sorry.

It’s ok. I have other options

Today is a shut down and try again tomorrow day. Was not productive at all from tiredness.

Fuckers.

Get well soon. 🤭

I think guitar, Gibson time and some video games will help.

I’m not as active on here on the weekends as during the week. It’s easier to write something when I’m not worried about two toddlers wrestling on the couch compared to when I’m at work.
I still dip in and out to see what everyone is doing
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I’m similar, in that I just lurk sometimes because I either don’t a) have anything to contribute b) am too busy or c) have nothing to whinge about haha.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Too busy’s a big I’ve for me. I don’t understand people that tweet all the time, even just shooting out a tweet takes time.
And even though you can put anything in here, no matter how mundane, sometimes I just can’t think of anything
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Dentist today. First checkup in…a lot of years. Little scared about what my mouth and wallet are going to look like after
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Good luck! If there’s a lot to do you can stagger it over time

Yikes. Yeah, there is apparently something with the algorithm that tries to send you down that pipeline.
I used to watch canning or gardening videos and started getting recommended religious preppers
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 months ago
It’s just YouTube. I saw someone share a profile just for their kid to watch videos and there was just a Jordan Peterson video in the recommended.
I see the same thing at work. My work account only has videos related to work and it’s trying to push conservative political shit on me
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Met the new neighbour down here. Dude was born here but moved to the US as an equine vet. Now he’s moved back. Turns out he went to the same school and grandparents lived next to mine. Small world. Seems decent so that’s good. He’ll apparently be back and forth and renting it out as a holiday place in between so might get a few partays to crash.

I have gymed.
There will be soup and dumplings later, but for now I must pack my work bag
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I haven’t gymed for a couple of weeks and I feel it. Am going tomorrow. Need those good vibes
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
He’s not in today. Will know tomorrow.
I’ve already accepted it isn’t happening. So either way I’m out anyway.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I have.
A very large and rich cult did a board coup and bought out the multinational my husband worked for, and who I was just starting a job for ( i was sacked ).
They replaced all the exec suite and put in unqualified but trusted friends, employees were only allowed to buy from a list of trusted vendors ( that’s called racketeering ) . The execs weren’t placed for business expertise, they were like mafia execs, only knowing how to scam.
company tanked, they did not care, they weren’t there to keep a business running , they were there to spend the goodwill and take all the money they could asap

TW Functional depression, suicidality
Well, I’ve reported the trees in case they fuck up my house. Now to wait and see if I’m once more subjected to crazy aggressive behaviour in retaliation 😔 Melbcat is medicated and fed and resting her sore little self. She’s due her arthritis shot soon. I’m begging for her to perk up because this is scaring me. Life really kind of sucks and it feels permanent. I can’t even do my hobbies despite the desire to. It’s not even living. All I seem to ever do is struggle and suffer.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Watching someone so important to you as they get closer to the inevitable is the absolute toughest thing. Sending kindness and grace down the interwebs. Lean into the cuddles and the good bits. We are here for you.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Thanks. She’s genuinely like my child so it’s really hard to think about. I don’t think she’s there yet as she’s still walking to her bowls and eating but she’s not her usual self.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Alright. Let’s see what these captains of industry have decided.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Hoping for the best outcome for you 🤞🏼
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Thank you :)

On a whim purchased Balatro last week.
I swear it’s the most addictive game I’ve played in so long.
Duenan@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I’ve hit it on Switch as well. It’s so damn addictive at times it’s not funny.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Just one more run!!! Maybe you’ll get lucky with the jokers.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Really? Hmm. I’m currently hooked on a game called Slime Legion and it’s driving me nuts.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I paid $15 for Balatro, and it’s absolutely bonkers. Fairly simple but you end up facing some hard choices as the game goes on.
It won indie game of the year for 2024 and makes complete sense.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I was drinking matcha everyday for the past few years until I started getting the jitters. I have switched to hojicha and am still getting jittery. Last week, I had nothing at all and had anxiety at a moderate baseline, but not the constant chest tightness, tingling hands, heart racing and brain fog. So I guess it’s just water and herbal tea for me for now. Hopefully any future ADHD meds don’t make me feel like this.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 2 months ago

I feel like I have brainfog today and I’m on autopilot, I hope the work day goes quickly so I can get back home and rest.
I don’t think I slept very well last night.

Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 months ago
First time eating meat in a week. It was interesting to see what life was like without it.
Probably a bit more tired, maybe some brain fog. Could get used to it after a while I think.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Bleeeeeurgh. Mega ceebtown here today. Just switch my brain off now and let me try tomorrow

I don’t know what it is but the chocolate on the back of chocolate coated Scotch Fingers is much better than it has any right to be. It almost had that Cadbury taste to it, there’s something different about it than normal biscuit chocolate

Bit of a wild swim in that wind. Very choppy waves hitting the beach at 45 degrees (usually they’re parallel). Ended up 80m down the beach in a few mins from where my kit was. Certainly wasn’t a south easterly as per BoM but nth. easterly.
So no wave tonight just sand in the wind:
