A fire extinguisher

I used to work above a guy who had a reputation in the company for not really taking direction well from anyone (hence why he ended up in our section) and he was about double my age.
What I used to do was mention two things that needed doing and ask him which one he wanted to do. Most of what we did could’ve been done by either of us but in letting him pick what he wanted he had more inclination to actually do it. The rapport that came from this did allow me to jump on the few things that I wanted and get minimal backlash because I was fair most of the time.
Treat people with respect and make them feel like their opinions are valued.
If it comes to personal stories and life experience in conversation - try and take a lot more of a listening role and acknowledge their experience. They’ll feel valued in that space which will translate over to respect in the working space.
It’s not interest it’s indexation. It’s tied to inflation. If you knew about it then it was easy to see coming, but obviously if you didn’t then you didn’t.
It is possible to index negatively and reduce the balance but pretty unlikely with todays economy.
It’s applied once per year at the start of June so any voluntary repayments are best made before the last week of May. The repayments you make through the year as wage deductions aren’t put against your balance until after you do your tax return.
I’ve fallen victim to this a few times. Fox didn’t have the rights to the recent Ashes series so they just played replays of old series. Walking past it was easy to be deceived if the venue hadn’t switched over to 7.
It was only when I came back and the score didn’t make sense that I picked up on it.
thanks for using Leebra!
