I love this, it’s my favourite so far

Rant was fantastic, and I also agree wholeheartedly with everything everyone says about Guts.

Um excuse me the lyric is ‘hi kids, do you like Primus?’

I’m not sure I completely agree with your premise, but you’re articulating your point well and I value your passion towards the topic.

Many discussions need to be spread over multiple comments on a post instead of being crammed into an over-long single post that still doesn’t capture the point of view of the author as they intend.
Furthermore, often times people come back and edit their single comments into massive pages long diatribes and people just TLDR it, when they should have been part of a multi comment back and forth between the poster and their audience, and I think you’re doing the latter well.

Haaaaaaang on…

It wasn’t even that it was a generic zombie movie, it was a particularly shit zombie movie.

Electronic Funds Transfer?

Australia has 20 days annual leave for full time employees mandated by law, and it carries over year on year so you can build up a significant chunk of time if you work somewhere for a long time. Also those hours belong to you, not the company, so you get it paid out if you quit.

We also have a Long Service Leave program where if you work somewhere for 7 year you get roughly a week off for every year of employment with a company, it does vary slightly state by state.
The construction industry has made an arrangment that as long as you are working construction in some way, your long service leave entitlement carry over between employers and jobs.

Lot of companies also add carers leave on top of this, which may not carry over year on year, and sick leave can be fairly variable between everywhere I’ve ever worked has been pretty casual about it, if you call in sick a day here or there then they don’t hassle you, but for longer periods you might need a doctor’s certificate.

It’s pretty good.

I see zero issues here.

Really well written, you did a great job of conveying the inertia you and your team must have felt without making the reader feel bogged down, I really enjoyed it.
