Fun Fact:

I had the best Eggs Benedict ever in my loving life today down at the Como marina cafe. Not super cheap.

Sitting with my friend just next to the water. Looking at the rich peoples boats moored. So quiet.

The cappuccino was good too.

I was up at Airlie Beach a few years ago when a cyclone hit. Think it was 'only' a Cat 2-3 from memory, but it was fun enough.
Knocked the power out, and all my ex's family could think about was making sure they could watch a live stream of some Chinese New Year TV special, so out into the storm I went and got absolutely loving drenched looking for dinner.

Found the only takeaway in town that still had power because they installed a generator a few years before. Had a yarn to the owner while waiting, and it had apparently paid for itself the number of times the power got cut due to a storm.
Old mate triple bagged all the orders so they didn't rip in the wind while I was carrying them back to the motel. Onya mate.

Going out the day after and surveying the damage was fun. A good 2-3 boats in the harbour ripped from their anchors and just obliterated themselves against the shore.

My manager has been a trendsetter working from home for years. I've seen her about twice in the last 2 years.
I definitely don't miss the hour trip into Melbourne. That poo poo loving sucked. Traffic is already bad at like 6am.

I do 10.5 hour stints at a time though and one thing I miss is chatting to my coworkers. My work is boring as gently caress and I hate it.

One of my bosses has been working from home since the Pandemic started, due to health concerns.
When asked if I could do the same, as I get sick super easily, I got told I hadn't worked there long enough (1 1/2 years at that point) and hadn't earned the right.

Full time desk jockey.

It's just lovely that the option isn't on the table. I'd honestly look for new work but 'in this economy' I'd rather just be covered under Jobkeeper.

Start looking anyway. If he finds out you're looking they'll either start treating you right (win) or they'll start treating you like poo poo and there's your sign they're poo poo people.

That is hosed. You should be able to contact fair work Australia or a union leader(if you have one for your job) about it. If they do fire you because of it you should be able to claim unfair dismissal.

Yeah, no. They're on thin ice justifying it on length of employment.

What evidence can you present that you "get super sick easily"? You're not entitled to information about your boss's health, but it is possible that they are medically vulnerable rather than working from home as a perk of being higher in the food chain.

My previous employer told me we couldn't work from home at all, except the two directors and the sales guys, switch to covid and suddenly it's no issue for anyone to do it except the storeman and fitter (which makes sense)

Like my old job was literally just production scheduling, purchasing and customer liaison, all of which was done via email and NetSuite which is 100% browser based. No way I could do that from home right?

My daughter's NSW government employer was the same before covid.

They do need some people in the office but the current arrangement of admin staff WFH two days a week and in the office for the other three could easily be made long term.

The way we had it running was quite good. It's better than the current iteration of bootstrapped SAP that we use at ANSTO, from a learning curve perspective anyway. It's taken me like 4 goes to work out the loving purchase order system just to place a req then I can't find the loving thing

This is what I'm doing and it's absolutely sustainable long term. It lets me cook up a lunch feed on Fridays as well which owns, and is one of the things I miss about Toowoomba (going to visit my mates at the home brew shop for Friday lunch)

The thing I'm finding with working from home is it's so much easier to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Even if I work late I can still walk to the shops and then cook dinner and get back to it.

Not really missing the interaction with work colleagues but if I want to I can just video call them for a chat.

It also helps with my job if people start slacking it is immediately obvious to everyone so we're all working just as much as we did in the office.

It extracts money from businesses by giving them software that looks like it does things and gives the money to SAP. It's like Bitcoin mining but works.
