Fk days in leiu... I take the monies

lol my GM offered me some weekend work saying I could get time in lieu for it...but my direct manager (below GM) is a stickler for that kind of extra curricular work just being an extension of your professionalism; i.e. you should do it just out of passion for work. I've attended trade shows on weekend etc. and this often comes without so much as a thanks.

Direct manager is somewhat of a bully who often tries to overrule the GM himself.

We have no HR manager or Patrick.

What do VWL?

Reply in email to DM stating that as per GM request you would like to take up the weekend work in exchange for TIL

my next weekend that I'm not working is after christmas.....

no cash, no TIL

All just part of being a professional at times.

I'm only one pay grade off that life again.

Next role will be no TIL no OT :/

All comes down to having clear goals at start of year. If the weekend work enables you to achieve your KPI/goals then its a tough situation as it can be used towards/against you at your performance review.

Weekend work tends to be classed as 'development opportunity' or as evidence in showing the right behaviours towards the business. (which again could be a factor in your performance review)

My boss told me from the beginning that if you want to achieve an "above expectations" ranking you would need to work on breaks if required. Days in lieu offered though.

The many differences & challenges between a job & a 'career'...

Ther eis that, when I was on a much lower salary then yes OT/TIL was always offered.

and I chased those Public holdiay/OT hard core for some extra $$

but yeah once to get to a point it kinda expected to be included.

I might not get TIL but I get to work from home often so when we not busy I'm avalible if needed but I can have a nice cruisy lunch with Katie, or work on the car so long as I answer phone if something crops up.

so it all works itself out over time.

Actually getting the TIL isn't so much an issue for me as taking the TIL and giving my DM the perception that I'm unpassionate / not a team player / unprofessional / not willing to put in the hard yards. A colleague in the same department as me concurred something similar and knocked back the work from the GM - he's scared to ask for sick leave let alone TIL, because our DM has these expectations that unless you're dying you should be working, you should arrive at work before the expected start time and stay long after the expected home time etc. and that your weekends should be spent thinking about work.

We really need an HR - there's not one person who has anything nice to say about my DM and most of these people do not work directly for him like we do. Company wide reputation as a bully.

I think once you reach a certain level of pay or role within your company then the title and remuneration fairly compensates all the extra work you put in and this is expected by both employee and employer - all part of that wonderful word "salary", unless you're a tradie...

But my DM is on about 150k a year and I'm quite far from that - if I was on his salary I'd fill my weekends with work no problems. But I'm not, so I have all the downsides of the professional career and hardly any of the perks (work from home, bonusesand reviews based on exceeding KPIs etc.). Staying until 5:30/6 most nights and that not being recognised if I'm 5 minutes late on one day doesn't sit well with me either.

actually from that I would be interviewing and moving on.

hostile environment plus that nah bugger that.

either that or knock off your DM and get his job (and ask for a pay raise over him)

could be worse. you could be chef again.

though by now you'd probably have a tv show.

my experience with HR is they provide f**k all. its a place to lodge complaints and handball situations, knowing they will never be resolved. and also good for subtle threatening for people who are not acting professionally.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
