Also, depending on your office size, your boss may start gunning for you for standing up for yourself and try for a unfair dismissal. Its not pleasant and something you need to be aware of. The legal support you'll get through a union will help you and keep you in place. You'll get what you're entitled to, but you need to know you may get stressed, coworkers may try politics behind your back etc. You are in the right, and its a great feeling knowing you don't have to be the one slugging it out with the company. The company has a legal team and you should too. You've taken the most important step by asking for help, a lot of people don't.

BCR posted:Short answer is you need to lawyer up, and the cheapest and best way to do that is through the relevant union. Because it's very likely you'll get hosed around and its great to hand it off to someone else and take that stress away. Permanent full time AFAIK. Contract might say otherwise. I work for the local branch of Office National, in the service department which holds the contracts for the work within my area for Fujitsu, RSS, Diebold, Glory Global/Talaris and ITS as well as some smaller ones I can't remember right now. I primarily do Fujitsu and RSS work but on occasion will do Glory Global/Talaris and VERY rarely Diebold/ITS. I work 8:30-5:00 Mon-Fri, 38 hrs/week. Super is paid by my employer but I have no idea the workings of it, or if it's the amount I should be getting. From my recollection it is being paid into the LG Super account I had when I was working for the local council. Dante18907 fucked around with this message at 10:41 on Mar 19, 2015 |

Re: the schizophrenis murderer in Melbournequote:About 11.20am on Thursday, Mr Price allegedly sexually attacked a woman on Harvester Road in Sunshine, just minutes before going to the police station. HOW WAS HE NOT IN CONTINUED JAIL FOR MENTALLY UNSTABLE VIOLENT AND DANGEROUS OFFENDERS? This is boggling my mind.

Jails are warehouses for the mental ill so it is p weird he wasn't there, since he's clearly mad as a loving cut snake. He must have had a social worker assigned to him so it's not just the court and health systems that seriously hosed up.

Liberal guy at work laughed when he heard the story and said 'it's her fault for walking in a dark area at night' He is ex military so there is no way you can win an argument with a logical argument. Edit: You guys have a good argument against 'the government should be treated like a business'? I have a friend who voted liberal in the QLD election because they got scared about the debt thing. auzdark fucked around with this message at 13:35 on Mar 19, 2015 |

Reminder for people who don't read the good thread: I got backed up against a wall and threatened with rape and murder and then pissed on in a crowded bus stop, beside a busy road, next to a shopping centre, in the middle of the day, while stone-cold sober and wearing jeans and a long-sleeved t-shirt and no make-up, and I wasn't even wearing earphones or playing with my phone or doing anything sinful like that; and also there were at least half a dozen grown men within three metres and not one of them did anything to get the guy away from me.

Most rapists are known by their victim, so just because the guy and the girl know each other isn't a good reason not to step in when someone's being loudly and graphically threatened with rape and murder.

the one time I got assaulted in public I didn't realize it was happening until after the event, possibly because the dude trying to mug me was a super drunk bogan and I couldn't understand a word he was saying. my point is I would hate to be in a situation where someone was relying on my intervention because I doubt I would even notice.

CrazyTolradi posted:.......you're kidding, right? No? You go outside in public places, right? You see two people talking in the corner of the bus stop. People don't usually have a conversation unless they know each other. Most people ignore these conversations and don't eavesdrop in, because hey hey it's probably none of your business. The fact that something horrible is going on can very very easily pass under the radar. Or are you the sort of person that creepily leans into every little chat in the hopes that you will get to throw the superhero cape on?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bystander_effectquote:The bystander effect, or bystander apathy, is a social psychological phenomenon that refers to cases in which individuals do not offer any means of help to a victim when other people are present. The probability of help is inversely related to the number of bystanders. In other words, the greater the number of bystanders, the less likely it is that any one of them will help. Several variables help to explain why the bystander effect occurs. These variables include: ambiguity, cohesiveness and diffusion of responsibility.

Yes, that's the gist of it. But usually the bystander effect gets painted as this awful dreadful thing, the product of an apathetic and selfish society. It's really just an extension of pretty basic social rules. Is it my place to intervene? What if it's not a big deal, what if I'm just interrupting a normal argument between a couple?
