Most of our sick days at work the last two years have been migraine or RSI related -- too much computer, need day off. I don't think anyone here has actually had a cold or flu in that time.

You mean this in the sense of "Labor won't win this federal election, but they will win the next one", right?

Right?

Is there a goon sufficiently versed in Fair Work that they can help me with act references to defend myself and my colleagues against a new demand from our micromanager, who wants us to be at work 15 minutes early to do our setup in unpaid time because "We're adults, it's the adult thing to do", and anyone not doing it will face repercussions? We're all on the Clerks award if it matters.

Our micromanager is really dialing up the absolute bullshit to try and recover our numbers and her position, after months of her incompetence doubled and tripled the workload, which also doubled and tripled the metrics that are our KPIs, for no increase in actual output, because she refuses to learn a single thing about what our job is, how it's done, or recognise any of the difficulties whatsoever in 24/7 shift work.

She also doesn't like me, and has already been targetting me in the weeks leading up to this new policy, because she's the kind who thinks that being relentlessly, saccharine dipped positive about everything all the time overrides all problems, and anyone who is ever lesss than that is a threat to maintaining that fantasy. Her idea of keeping people wanting to come to work is a newsletter and an employee of the month award with no actual prize, while all feedback about things that the people here actually care about is thrown into the bin.

The SA branch of the ASU was going to send me an email, but it hasn't arrived yet.

The long buried call-center worker in me just laughed at this entire post. If you're covered by an award instead of an EBA you might be in luck, but personally I would just find a new job.

I don't know anything about Perth, is that area a sex worker hotspot? Or a homelessness hotspot? Or just a series of very unfortunate incidents happening to people who are indigenous?

stop being a dickhead

i would prefer to simply be told that indigenous people are being vaccinated at way lower rates than non-indigenous people -- because it's important information that people should be aware of and so that something can be done about it -- without it being wrapped in a smug sandwich

an "i care more than you do" attitude doesn't do anything more than toot their own horn, it certainly doesn't get people on board

Dandrews won’t admit it but I think the end game here is to stop cases blowing out too much in the month or so it takes to hit the vaccination targets. Once the virus gets into certain communities it becomes extremely difficult to eradicate and almost impossible with delta unless you get onto it very early. We’ve missed our chance at that and NSW have well and truly blown their shot at it so we’re stuck with the virus now.

He's been saying this consistently for days. What makes you think he "won't admit" it? We're not going for covid zero, we're going for 70%-80% vaccination as part of a national strategy

The only faster ones in range of me are the AZ ones and I don't know if that's a good idea. My vasculature is all hosed up so the second I hear blood clot I nope out.

There are specific things that they screen for, it's worthwhile checking with your doctor to see if it might cause issues with you. Also, Moderna is coming next? week.

Ignoring the fact that you're a golem hewn out of bad faith arguments:

Yeah except obese people can't spread an airborne potentially fatal condition to others by walking around, and aren't deliberately coughing in the faces of people who are asking them not to do so with the intent of making them sick.

A better analogy would be "should we give the liver transplant to the unrepentant alcoholic who regularly announces their intent to keep drinking? Or prioritise others?"

Back of the loving queue with them.

I agree that it was pretty hosed up of us to give Hinch that liver
