Haven’t so far.. I wrote them an email that I should be paid out at least for my notice period (1 week during probation).. was told as I agreed to leave immediately (well as it was untenable on my part and soul destroying to stay and didn’t make sense) I’m not owed my notice. Not sure of my legal rights.

Feel free to PM me if you want some HR advice. If not, I wish you all the best with your job search and hope you find something with a healthy culture.
I was sitting a few metres from our bench today and it was interesting to monitor the body language and expressions on players faces during the day.
Most just came on and off like robots.
Only few I remember showing a bit of emotion were Cripps, Levi and Ed.
Though Ed just looked dejected.

So according to our coach, we’re building resilience. Can we build a ******* game plan and a winning culture instead? FMD
Would've thought we built that for the last 18 months?

WWas at the game today guys and it was not a very good game for Carlton supporters and my friends mentioned it was way worse than what they have seen for a while due to the expectation being higher with the top kids and the average opponent being depleted with injuries to the better players.
What my friend said today that really made me think and thought i would bring it up here , He said not 1 ex GWS player on the carlton list would attract a pick better than a 4th rounder if they were put up for trade at the end of the year and that got me questioning has SOS been too focused on these players than what he should have been whilst some players might have been better not taken and gone to the draft.
Think there will be another 8-10 player clean out this year

We’ve had a decade to build resilience
What if we've all been too gullible?
What if we've been sticking fat with the positive guy talking green shoots, when in actual fact he can't coach for s**t?
What a waste of time for all involved.

I was at the game today. I had to endure the cold change that came through before half time.
I watched a team bereft of confidence. The ‘outside noise’ has smashed down the walls and we’re seeing a team that’s not willing to take a risk to get a result.
Good luck if you think sacking the coach is the solution. I think these players are struck with fear at the thought of the coach getting the arse.
This is the list that is the foundation of future success. Blink and it’s all gone.

Never Barker... he has no idea of what the hell he is doing!
Sorry to hear.
The trades are tricky to assess in isolation as we were taking so many kids at the draft at the same time. Without the Silvagni/injury discount/'playing with mates' factors, who knows whether we'd have attracted anyone else?
Kennedy, Marchbank and Setterfield played. I'd suggest you'd get offers on Setterfield (10 games in). Marchbank is struggling a bit. Kennedy has shown little. The GWS thing is a lazy argument, not the cause of our current issues.
If he has no idea how in hell is the guy still at the club and been at the club leeching off us.
Cripps' numbers are very concerning.
I did exactly the same thing this year. I took my maternity leave and then resigned from a job I loved, all because of bullying. And a top-down culture of nastiness and hypocracy. Women can be nasty, and it’s scary to think they’re in charge of schools and educating little children.
But, all power to us for knowing our worth and walking away from crap!
Maybe it is on the players. A lot of it probably is.
But more than half the guys who played today are 18-22 year-old kids who were probably the best player on every junior team they played for, or close to it. I remember what I was like at age 19 - no way I could have dealt with the pressure of being humiliated publicly every week like these kids. Putting it on them, every week, is going to crush them.
Fair or not, sacking the coach allows those kids a brain reset. It takes the pressure down for 4-5 weeks, lets them just relax and play footy again. Show some positives, tail away in our last month (we play basically hte top 4 teams to finish the year, so that's going in the toilet either way), then they get a new coach, new voice, new hope moving forward.
For the fans, it offers something. Otherwise, what else have we got? 11 more games of this rubbish?
Big benefit: it offers something for the players whose cards have been marked, who aren't Bolton's favourites, who might be out of form, and who get a chance to show their worth to someone different. Players who might just need a new voice or role to get going, but won't get that chance with Bolton. We've just seen it happen with Casboult, and previously Jones - injuries get them a new role, and suddenly their careers are save, but now I'm talking guys like Kennedy, Lang, Fasolo, Garlett, Polson, Kerr, Gibbons, Le Bois, Goddard, and even Ed Curnow, Thomas, Murphy. If even one or two of those guys find something, we're ahead.
It reminds me of the Brendan Fevola story. After a pretty solid 2001, his papers were stamped with Wayne Britain in 2002. As the team fell away, he was a scapegoat - only played 9 games, the last being a 3 possession disaster. He was too much trouble, didn't chase and tackle, etc. In his words, end of season came, he knew he was going to be delisted, and there were zero offers coming elsewhere - why would anyone want a troubled forward who had been delisted by the wooden spooners? When Pagan came in, he met with every player. Fev went in expected to be told he was out. Pagan instead, pumped him up, told him he saw the potential, and wanted to make him a star. Fev literally went into the players room after his meeting, fist pumped and yelled out 'the new coach loves me'. The next year he kicked 63 goals and became a superstar.
We need to give those players who are currently failing their 'the new coach loves me' moment. Maybe someone comes in and unlocks Kennedy and he becomes the next Josh Kennedy. Maybe someone unlocks Garlett and he becomes the next Jetta. Or maybe its Gibbons, or Lang, or Fasolo.... At least offer us something other than 'green shoots' and corporate speak, please...

Did Bolton really say the effort was there today in the press conference? I can't bring myself to watch it in the fear I will lose my s**t
