    First tracksuit day of the year!!! Rest of the week might be too warm, but it’s nearly long sleeve time.

    Let us all rejoice.

    The 60 minutes bit on the CFMEU and ties to gangs was pretty interesting. As someone who has worked on sites for several years, it comes as no surprise.

    I really hope someone drops the hammer on the dodgy shit. Site culture needs a reboot, but that will take years and years.

    I receive a call from a random QLD landline number.

    Person: I’m [name] from [company]

    Me: What’s the purpose of this call?

    Person: I can’t tell you, first I need to confirm your identity.

    You call ME and can’t tell me why you’re calling until I divulge my personal information? I told this person you can say something very generic about the call reason just so I can confirm you are who you say you are before I hand over my PI, but she refused citing their stupid policies. So I ended the call.

      Nope, I’m giving nothing the caller doesn’t already have. I will confirm they have correct info if they provide it, however. This is just basic phone security - no competent company would expect a cold call recipient to start giving them information.

      And if they’re not competent, I have no business talking to them.

        That means centrelink is not competent. I have had them call and ask for my details

      My company has this too, pretty awkward. I normally already spoke to the person and I start with “Hi it’s Force, I spoke you last week about X - before I can go any further though I do need to ask you for X Y Z.”. Lots of ppl still prefer to end the call and call back on our main phone number though, which is fair enough

    I got to say it!

    “The chaotic situation your organisation finds itself in, is due to the decisions made by your leadership regarding my raise request”.

    God that felt good lol

    America has been preying on my mind. I am getting more frightened for the people there each day.

    It is safe here in Aust at least. That I know.

      My son and his wife and kid are now safe in Germany for which I thank various deities. USA is going to get worse before it gets better too imo. He mentioned in his last phone call that one of his neighbours went out to buy groceries, but came back with ammunition instead. And that’s in a fairly civilised part of a fairly chill city a long way from MAGAland. That was the deciding factor that made him and his wife decide to get out asap. Granted, there’s a military base there, and a lot of people who know how to NOT use guns, but still … If the ordinary decent people are starting to behave like that, anything can happen.

        The way trump maga is openly defying judges and the law scares me.

        The way they data mined the IRS and OPM is terrifying. They are getting info for a purpose and it’s not a good purpose.

    I got the boys down in time to watch today’s Four Corners on the childcare sector. I’m so happy my girlfriend found a job at a council run facility and that my boys are at a centre that seems well run

      I did’t watch the show, but have noticed in recent years many large very expensive looking new child care centres popping up all over the place. There must be plenty of money to be made if so many multi-million dollar facilities are profitable. I don’t live in a growth suburb with young families. I can think of at least 5 new mega places within a few km of my house. I know the workers get paid abysmally, so who’s getting the cash?
