It's already been paid though, hasn't it?

Wish I got a bonus.

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Thu Dec 04, 2008 10:34 am

me too!!! i would kill for a bonus the likes of what some of my mates get. i would actually be debt free

not that i am complaining really, happy to just have a job these days

my gripe - my work, i love my job, but seeing coroner's reports and photos of people lying dead on the road....it just gets to you. glad it still does affect me though as most of the lawyers have a great big wall up just to deal with it.

Indeed. Good for you Liz, good way to look at it.

oops.

maybe next time.

it is a prick of a thing though - they sell it as a big bonus/reward, when at the end of the day it's not really that accurate.

You'll probably get it back at tax time if that's any consolation.

Yeah your all right, thanks. Im pissed cos if theyd put it in as one payment seperate to my pay, most of it would have come to me. That they can do, not the tax obviously, but the method of payment they have a choice and they could have done it seperatly or actually printed a cheque and then it would be felt like the full bonus.

And thats it Scotty, its dressed up as a wonderful extra thing they do for you, pat on the head, thanks for being 3 people all through the yeah, rah rah, but doesnt really end up as feeling like a thankyou.

fents, no good tradey bosses in here im afraid.

But all of you, your right, I got something didnt I, and thats more than Ive had before!

I just expected something else, so my own fault for the expectation!! I will get the rest of it at tax time, which is still going to me.

Expectations, bluggghhh they create problems!!

Im calm now and smiling, greatful for getting something on top of what I earn.

Cheers guys!

gripe >
'friends' who are too afraid to confront anything real, who use you, then abuse you, then throw you away.

I know they were never real friends, but damn, people still suprise me with how shallow they are!

yeh sammy no way around that one. its income, so you pay income tax. boss is just following the law. you would have had to pay super out of it too, which is prob why it seems so low.

OR

Could also be

THE FARKIN!!! hahah (too brb perhaps tho

)

Kitty, its so dispointing to have 'friends' that arnt the same as you are. As in, you clearly speak your mind, answer a question honestly if someone asks you, and if a friends requires the ol, pull your head in, you'll call em on it. when they dont do that back, rather upsetting thats for sure. BAH!!

totally...friendship requires a certain amount of honesty and bravery, or it does to me anyhow...

even worse when they choose to 'cut you off' after they have borrowed cash, with no mention of it.

pretty pathetic imho.

Direkt · Post by **Direkt** » Thu Dec 04, 2008 2:36 pm

That's shithouse Kitty.

What's that thing they say about friends who piss off with cash? Best money you've ever spent, or something along those lines?

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Thu Dec 04, 2008 2:40 pm

hehehe yeah ive heard that.

over my lifetime, and through different 'friends' its more cash than is in my super tho....

pushover kitty.

Direkt · Post by **Direkt** » Thu Dec 04, 2008 2:56 pm

Don't beat yourself up about it. Being generous is a great trait to have.

Some people are just assholes, best to not have them in your life.

Maybe just be a lil' more careful with the coin in the future if it's a problem for you... or more the point, if it's looking like a problem for them.

Not a fan of griping, but...

BigPond DVD's can get fucked.

Pricks apparently sent me out a DVD two weeks ago, that never arrived. I contacted BigPond to inform them of this around 1.5 weeks ago, expecting a replacement to be sent out - nothing happened. Contact them again yesterday and receive an email this morning informing me that due to the "terms and conditions" a replacement disc will NOT be issued.

That DVD comes out of my monthly quota. I'm told if it happens again, I may be investigated for fraud. And if I have a complaint with the delivery, I have to lodge a complaint with Australia Post myself.

Get fucked.

I've paid for a "service", been inconvenienced 2 weeks as it is, and now you're not only charging me for it, but hinting at fraud charges (LOL) and telling me I have to take it up with Aust Post.

Cancelled account.
