Pay point 1 is only reserved for labourers and it doesn't matter if you have a trade or 30 years experience you start there. My lga's budget in 2019 had a massive influx of money from the V8 Supercars in Australia and all that partnered with a rapid increase in tourism and development. With this 10k pay decrease it is clear that it will trickle down but how far is currently unknown as the highest pay point is 25 which is 6k a fortnight more than 1. The union everyone here is a part of is basically a lapdog for the organisation and is currently barely fighting for us. I leave the council in 4 weeks and it won't be a personal concern but it is honestly sad for the for those left.

I'm a hard working 34 year old woman. I was employed at a non profit for about 3 years. It wasn't the best job or the best paying job, but I liked all my coworkers and I liked that I was helping the community. One day the marketing person is moving onto another job, this guy was old school, did things like put print ads in newspapers and actually recorded and put an ad on TV. I was excited because I thought I was a no brainer to take his place after he left. I have a degree in New Media and Graphic Design and have extensive knowledge in video editing software, animation and game design. As well I knew the in and out of the company. I had also gone above and beyond in my job, helping the marketing department with new media projects, getting videos on youtube, sound…
Hi all. I am a 27 year old female based in England, UK. I have good academic qualifications, the highest of which is a 2:1 in Law. I have worked from the age of 16. First 2 jobs were in retail alongside my time spent studying. First 'professional' role was as a Trainee Law Costs Draftsman with an 18k salary working 40 hours per week. The role itself I didn't mind but the environment was awful and my contract was terminated after 6 months after i declined to work through my lunch. All other Trainee contracts were also terminated. All termination of contracts was explained as being due to not meeting targets. I then began working as a Family Court Clerk within the civil service. I enjoyed the role but the environment was toxic. I was working in excess of my full time hours all of the time, rarely had…

The company will introduce the following new benefits starting April 4th, Bloomberg reports: Doubling paid sick days for both full-time and part-time workers. The days can be used for mental health leave and taking family members to the doctor. This change will give full-time workers 12 paid sick days, instead of six.

Part-time workers also will get access to discounted emergency backup care for children or elderly family members. Full article here
So yeah, that just happened and I need to rant. I work(ed) at a place widely regarded on reddit as a company that takes care of their employees. I thought I was working completely fine (in fact, I know I was, every other person I know there thought I was doing good), but I came in today and the manager took me away as I was walking to my work area and took me into an office and fired me effective immediately due to “slow pace”, despite working through all of the busiest periods of work. I really don't know why he fired me of all people, I started with someone else who makes mistakes all the time and she wasn't fired and there are people who do almost nothing all day who just get left alone. I sat in my car after as I was really upset and about…
