Other than that -touch wood- I've never had any major issues with employers. No bullying, or anything serious anyway. I consider myself lucky tbh.

Oh yeah and cats_09 not to make you jealous or nothing.. but a couple years ago at my old school, I needed a new desk chair.

I got a brand spankin new one- omg- was the best desk chair I've had. Was in the office the next day after I requested it. Very plush and had a huge backrest part.

Cop that Cats09. Plush and a fancy backrest.
You got the rickety chair with rusty screws sticking out of it.

Maybe it is the View. I dunno TBH. Celebrity women speaking sh*t.

It had one great moment. Carlin was on it and said he cheers for natural disasters so lots of people die. Wasn’t quite what they expected.

Can you imagine hotel rooms.

Yep, just don't think about it. That's how I deal with it too.

Am pretty sure I at least never go barefoot.

Always wear socks. And hope the sheets are 100% clean on the bed.

True, I've got Tinia a few times. Everyone always says to wear thongs in the shower and they're actually right.

 

[Shell]

Nah I dont do thongs in the shower in hotels.


At leisure centres 100%.
(altho i dont use showers in leisure centres, i go straght home)

I usually do. They have those shower heads where the water sort of stabs you. I love it.

Morning

Sorry I did see this at 6.30am, but I went back to sleep.


Good morning SC. How are you today???

 

[you pick one]

He gave me an "updated" contract - like my commencement date & when to return it by, but didn't really address the other questions such as meal breaks...apparently an official lunch breaks isn't a thing as the employer prefers staff to work through, though you can eat a sandwich at your desk

There was also feigned surprise about the broken chair which is apparently only 6 months old even though the other office member knew it was broken & informed me when I tried to adjust it, and mixed messages about the age of the desks

I told them it wasn't for me and offered to stay the rest of the week if they would like, and the reply 'what would you like to do' - so I said finish today and then all parties can start fresh tomorrow

He was trying to cry poor about being a small business owner, tight funds etc - When the new person starts in the office some stage shortishly, they will be the 4th office member this year. They also had a really poor filing system which meant I was able to see 4 offers of employment form 2017 & 2018, while they also had records showing 7/8 group certificates for the 2017/2018 financial period. Maybe he needs to ask why he has a high turn over of employees and address those issues rather than playing "poor me"

If you are honest you didn't resign you escaped.

I love my current at home desk chair - it came from Freedom, was like $200/$300 down to $50 on clearance and so comfortable

It's the padded seat, but a mesh covering other than the head rest area which is a vinyl - it's got really good back support and I can sit here for like 5/6 hours a day with no issues.

My fav thing about him complaining that the chair was apparently only 6 months old - if it's the one available at officeworks it has a 10yr warranty, so surely there's no outlay to have it replaced under warrant...unless he was just talking more shit
