So any-one know what working culture NAB is like?

about two weeks ago they forced win 7 onto all the desktops without telling staff overnight

then they had to restore crap from backups etc as people lost their data

1) poor strategy

2) poor comms

3) local data risk

4) v behind basic OS lifecycle schedule

but otherwise its probably good

i applied for a role there a few weeks ago

i know two other people who work there too

Unrelated:

Today switched from 50,000km old KU31 235s on the front and nearly bald R1R 265s on the rear to AD08 255s and AD08R 265s respectively.

Wow what a transformation. Those tyres are unbelievably good value for the $220 each they cost me. So much corner grip it's ridiculous; just turns in so well with the 255s up front. And finally a set of road tyres that can hold my 2nd gear all the way through - time to break out the G-tech again Leigh :P

Mind you, those KU31 are an incredibly hard wearing tyre. Still 40% tread left on these. Awesome value for a daily driver not pushing too much power.

Let me know how you go!

I wish we tried it again when I had NT05s on

interesting.

got an offer from them on friday.

not sure if I want to work at a bank tho.

Not if you pay enough money to AASA... There is NO WAY we'd be able to get insurance for 4 people in a car with no helmets and 30 on the track at a time... but they classify it as a Cruise Event and it's all fine apparently...

im glad people are doing it off the street (though i doubt many at the event save it for the track anyway), but surely there has to be a better way of holding such an event without damaging a racetrack.

Don't be silly, they've all practiced on racetracks while holding selfie sticks with go pros

Lol what a load of bullshit.

We have been rolling out win 7 for about 6 months now and it comes on a new laptop entirely. The few desktops that remain are still running XP.

Before moving to win 7 you get 11ty billion emails explaining exactly what to do, when and how.

Nab is great. Work/life balance is amazing and the culture is very strong. Most people stuck around for a LONG time. We do pay less than the other 3 however generally have higher bonuses

(Which kinda backfires when you we buy failing banks in England and have to provision hundreds of millions then cut bonuses lol)

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
