A couple members of my crew were underpaid due to what I assume was an issue with the payroll software. The annual leave loading was calculated incorrectly due to some people’s annual leave going into the negatives.
So, I had the pleasure of writing up an email to my manager and payroll staff. Basically saying that I don’t want to point the finger, but you guys stuffed up. Here’s the numbers we are getting, verses the numbers on their payslips. Please fix. Now. I was a bit more professional than that, but damn I was tempted to get the bold and italics formatting into that email.
Being short changed $20-$25 per person, and this probably happened to multiple people across each crew. That’s maybe a couple hundred bucks the company might be running away with. Really grinds my gears, that does.
Rant over.
Yeah that’s bad, nice work on getting it corrected!
This happened at my company, also. Specifically around leave loading.
Only the difference is nobody noticed it. The company had simply in the process of dilligence hired an auditing company to go though the books. It was the auditors who noticed that some employees were getting short-changed on their leave loading in some subset of circumstances. The CEO made a big thing to us all about it, telling us they’re now engaged in a full review going back years to find any discrepencies and correct them.
The weird thing is: It would be cheaper to just give everyone a couple hundred dollars. That’d more than cover it. But accountants need to pay their bills, too I suppose.
Yeah, maybe they wanted to make big deal of it. “Look at us, we care for you!” Just pay what’s owed and be done with it.
Cynically, maybe they made a big deal of it so they were not reported for the muckup?
I was a bit more professional than that, but damn I was tempted to get the bold and italics formatting into that email.
Crikey mate, settle down. Manager and payroll staff don’t know the bullet they dodged there.
Kind of reminds me when I play Civilization VI when launching a nuke.
I tried posting my super radical video of the snake eating the baby mouse in our backyard to Reddit (cause it allows video upload, which Lemmy doesnt RIP in peace) and they removed it for “Mods encourage conversation but comments like this add nothing.”

Are the current mods of that subreddit the same OGs are before the API drama, or is it people on crazy pills now? I am somewhat concerned for the mental health of whoever is replying to my mod team query because they appear to be speaking in tongues.
Perhaps I will YouTube it instead. I thought it was cool - like a nature documentary in the backyard! Pretty sure David Attenborough even made an appearance at one point.
but comments like this add nothing.
Who’s gonna tell them it ain’t a comment 🫢
Been a while since I have been on r/Brisbane, but that mod name seems real generic, no? Perhaps they were a bit squeamish about nature doing nature things. Cool video though. I’m not a fan of snakes, so happy for someone else making a videos of them. That’s as close as I will get to them, through my phone and computer screens.
Turns out they just chose the wrong reason. It’s because it’s “low quality drama” because people might get offended by a snake eating a mouse.
Also they aren’t real happy I delete all my old comments on Reddit. That part I don’t give two shits about.
trk’s song of the day - Texas Plant - 2s, 3s, and 12s.
Not real sure what genre you’d call this… Maybe Folk Punk?
Sadly no longer together, but some of the former members are now part of Phossy Face which is very similar, but I don’t think quite has the same punch as Texas Plant did.
Spotify link. Now that’s an interesting genre. Have to say it is catchy though.
Phossy Face on Spotify as well.
