I'm talking like over 333 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 5: fifty meters an hour, and people tend to be on 334 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 5: the freeway before they put their car in fifth gear. 335 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 5: I know this also doesn't really make a lot of sense. 336 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 2: You guys don't really know right now strictly an auto girl, that's. 337 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 5: So fair for my manual drivers being fifth gear, unless 338 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 5: it's like you're about to stall in fifth gear because 339 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 5: your engine is not working as hard, and you will say, Pederal, 340 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 5: it's my broke tip. Your broke tip is staying fifth gear. 341 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 5: If you can't thing to add to that, because I. 342 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 2: Don't even know what my caear does. No, I feel 343 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 2: like it's bad my car. It's so embarrassing. Absolutely aimately, 344 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 2: no idea. I'm embarrassed because they brought some things that 345 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 2: I feel. 346 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 4: Yes, because my sister got to learn in a manual 347 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 4: so she can drive a manual and I immediately like, 348 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 4: there are rules in life that are just like they're rules, 349 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 4: Like no one said that it was a real rule, 350 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 4: but it exists, right, Like how the number twenty five 351 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 4: that's a pointing number. Yes it is, Yeah, I would 352 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 4: agree with you, and twenty six round exactly. 353 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 2: Like I don't make the rules to a rule. 354 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 4: Another rule people who drive manual immediately cooler. 355 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 2: No manualism. Manual car is a big part of my 356 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 2: personal law. I don't know what is it true? Oh, 357 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 2: we're gonna suggest the law. So my parents insisted that 358 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 2: I learned to drive in a manual car because my 359 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 2: mom said, like, what if there's an emergency in the 360 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 2: only car available, asm manual car, what are you going 361 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 2: to do? Die? 362 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 4: Well, my dad used to say, like, what are you 363 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 4: going to do if you don't learn your times tables? 364 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 4: You're not always going to have a calculator in your pocket. 365 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 2: I sit down, Eric. So I started to learn to 366 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 2: drive a manual car. I hated it. I didn't like it. 367 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 2: I was not very good at it. And then one 368 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 2: day we were driving. We took a long road trip 369 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,439 Speaker 2: and we drove over train tracks and I stalled and 370 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 2: the boom gates started coming down, and I started to 371 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 2: have a panic attack, because I'm a normal person would 372 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 2: and at the time my anxiety was also undiagnosed, so 373 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 2: like I's like it was like curtains for me. I 374 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 2: was like, this is it I die by train in 375 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 2: this moment. Anyway, obviously we were fine. Mum got the 376 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 2: car going, we got off the tracks, it was all good. 377 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 2: But I literally pulled over to the side of the road. 378 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 2: I got out of the car and I looked at 379 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 2: dead in the eye and I said, over my dead body, 380 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 2: we'll like ever drive a manual car ever again. Wow, 381 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 2: I haven't touched one since. Wow.

Something shocking. Now I understand, 390 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 2: I understand. 391 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 5: I thought you're also going to say that like manual drivers, 392 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 5: it's like the whole identity like people people drink espresso's just. 393 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 2: Look everybody else, manual drivers are cooler, like they're just cooler, 394 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,919 Speaker 2: like they they've just got their lives together.

Now, let's take a 436 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 4: listen to this week's money dilemma. 437 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 6: Hi, she's on the money. I've just received an activity 438 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 6: statement through the ATO. I've never had this before. I'm 439 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 6: assuming it's because my bank interest was quite high on 440 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 6: my last tax return, which left me owing a fair 441 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 6: bit more tax than had been estimated throughout the year. 442 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 6: Because I've never had this before, I'm not really sure 443 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 6: what it is. I assume it's just to kind of 444 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 6: give the ATO tax throughout the year rather than having 445 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 6: a larger balance at the end of the year. But 446 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 6: all the information I can find about online is more 447 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 6: so directed at soul traders, which doesn't apply to me. 448 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 6: There wasn't really a lot of information shared, just an 449 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 6: activity statement saying I owed X amount of money by 450 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 6: the end of the month. I was just wondering if 451 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 6: you could sort of explain what this is and maybe 452 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 6: provide some information. Thanks. 453 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 2: I thought it was a business thing. I didn't know 454 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 2: it wasn't a business thing. So there you go. Highlighting 455 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 2: something today too, because I get activity statements and a 456 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 2: business activity statement are two different things, oh, which is exciting, 457 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 2: and they are used to kind of report and pay 458 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 2: like a number of different tax obligations, but then also 459 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,360 Speaker 2: business obligations. And what would have happened is if you're 460 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 2: an individual, like if she's a business, like same kind 461 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 2: of applies, but usually a BA or a business activity 462 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 2: statement or a BAS or whatever you want to call it. 463 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 2: It's a statement that you get and some companies pay 464 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 2: them quarterly, some pay them monthly, like for example, she's 465 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 2: on the money pays their business activity statement, Like I 466 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 2: pay tax every single month, and that to me is 467 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 2: actually a relief because I'm like, okay, cool, what tax 468 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 2: do I owe? I feel like I'm on top of it, 469 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 2: Like it's kind of like a little check in every 470 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 2: month I'm doing financials anyway, it's just like I feel 471 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 2: like my house is really clean. And I didn't like 472 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 2: this is just me personally, but I didn't like when 473 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 2: I was paying basses quarterly because I felt like it 474 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 2: was a really big chunk of money, Like I want 475 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 2: to just get rid of it, like if it's not 476 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 2: my money and it's in my bank account, actually want 477 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 2: to get rid of it sooner rather than later. Because 478 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 2: like it's sitting there and watching it going like like 479 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 2: what's going on. Anyway, you as an individual may get 480 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 2: an activity statement if in the last year your payable 481 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 2: tax was actually more than what your employer deducted. So 482 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 2: it's actually to protect you. And the same is for 483 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,719 Speaker 2: like the ATO isn't doing bass because they're like, oh, 484 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 2: we don't trust that you won't pay your tax. It's 485 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 2: so that you don't get a rude surprise at tax time. 486 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 2: And what might have happened, and it might be all 487 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 2: of the things she suggested, but more probable is just 488 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 2: that there was a discrepancy between what your employer said 489 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 2: you were going to have to pay in tax and 490 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 2: what they deducted and paid on your behalf, and then 491 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 2: you got a big tax bill. It's to actually stop 492 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,199 Speaker 2: that happening in the future because there must be a 493 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 2: reason why. So the way tax is calculated, and to 494 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 2: be clear, I am not an accountant, so you might 495 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 2: need to or you should talk to your accountant. But 496 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 2: the way tax is calculated is on an average, right, 497 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 2: So if you had a month where you earned heaps 498 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 2: of money and you are employed, your employer would deduct 499 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 2: a heap more but then the next month, what if 500 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 2: you didn't work or you went on unpaid leave. Then 501 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 2: when the ATO looks at your annual income, they spread 502 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 2: that out over all of the months and then go, oh, well, 503 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 2: you know if in one month, you know, let's pretend 504 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 2: you had a taxable income of thirty percent, which is 505 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,199 Speaker 2: the most normal in Australia, but one month you like 506 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 2: made bank and you jumped up a marginal tax bracket 507 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 2: for that month and your employer withheld more tax. Then 508 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,239 Speaker 2: later down the track, when the ATO is doing your 509 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,959 Speaker 2: tax return, they're like, oh, you didn't actually earn more 510 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 2: than one hundred and eighty grand yess like, you actually 511 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 2: earned less, but we taxed you at that amount because 512 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,479 Speaker 2: that's what you did that month, So we're actually going 513 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 2: to give you a refund. The opposite could be true, 514 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 2: and it could just be out of sync and they're 515 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,199 Speaker 2: just protecting you. And that's what an activity statement would do. 516 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 2: It's so that you check in more regularly and you're 517 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 2: not going to get a route. 518 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 5: So is it possible that the employer, say, for example, 519 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 5: they're paying you one hundred dollars a week and they're like, 520 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 5: we're putting thirty dollars a week to sent out a 521 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 5: tax but they only sent like fifteen dollars, but they 522 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 5: said that they're sending thirty. 523 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 2: Is that sometimes a situation like is that why? 524 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 4: Maybe yeah, they should not be doing that, but is 525 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 4: that possibly what? 526 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 2: It's not going to have the same ramifications. 527 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 4: It's business not paying tax, not using like yeah, that's 528 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 4: a whole difference. Okay, But it's very important to make 529 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 4: sure that your employer is paying their attack and your 530 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 4: super and all of that, which is why we need 531 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 4: to read our. 532 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 2: Pay slips and understand our pay slips. And I think 533 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 2: that there's actually going to be an episode coming up 534 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 2: of me just breaking down a pay slip. I know 535 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 2: that that's really basic for some people, but for lots 536 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 2: of you might be like I don't actually know what 537 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 2: these things mean, or like why does it say this 538 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 2: many hours here? I felt like I had it, Like 539 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 2: we're just. 540 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 4: Going to go through, line by line all the things 541 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 4: that could be possibly on your pay slip, and I 542 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 4: think that'll be a really good superful. 543 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's very cool. 544 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,719 Speaker 5: Also, if the in cases person you know, accepts their 545 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 5: fate and it's like, well I gotta pay this, you 546 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 5: can pay by installments. 547 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, you can always just call the ATO up and 548 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 2: have a chat with them and even ask them, hey, 549 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 2: what was the specific reason I got an active statement? 550 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 2: And they might be able to open your file and 551 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,719 Speaker 2: have a chat with you about it. More often than not, 552 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 2: it's literally just because that discrepancy exists. I know she 553 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 2: was like, Oh, it might have been because of this 554 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 2: or that. It could literally be because you're a good investor. 555 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 2: And like, let's say you were a really great investor 556 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 2: and you had a heap of shares that performed really well, 557 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 2: so therefore you went up a tax bracket. But your 558 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 2: employer they don't know your personal business or what you're 559 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 2: investing in. So you've only paid X amount of tax, 560 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 2: but at tax time you owe a little bit more. 561 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 4: Sure, it's a good problem to have, Like paying more tax. 562 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 4: As much as it hurts and it's not fun, it's 563 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 4: a good problem to have, and paying it more regularly 564 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 4: means that you're not going to get stune come June thirty. 565 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, should be into the juicy store. Are 566 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 2: you ready? Guys? 567 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 4: All right, I have a DM for you high queens. 568 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,199 Speaker 4: I'm currently doing a job that's draining me. Imagine a 569 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 4: consulting job where you were paid for thirty seven and 570 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 4: a half hours, but end up working fifty hours a 571 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 4: week to make sure the job is done. No one 572 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 4: forces you to, but everyone does it and expects you 573 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 4: to do it. I'm currently in the process of applying 574 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 4: for permanent residency. Exciting, and I can do so thanks 575 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 4: to one year working as a consultant. 576 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 2: Although I love my team and currently have. 577 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 4: Financial security, my mental health has never been so low. 578 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 4: I have zero work life balance and almost no time 579 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 4: for hobbies. When the weekend comes, I'm so tired, I 580 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 4: just stay home. Question is, would you quit and prioritize 581 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 4: mental health, although it would make it harder for you 582 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 4: to find another job as a not yet permanent resident, 583 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 4: what would you do? 584 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 5: I really am so strongly against this culture of like 585 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 5: it's expected that you stay back and you work late 586 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 5: and you work extra hours. 587 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 2: It is so bad. It's gross and where did it 588 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 2: come from and why is it there? Why does it exist? 589 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 5: Because if you're paying me for these amount of hours, 590 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 5: and you're doing your job that in those hours, if 591 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 5: you're severely overworked and you must work over time, that's 592 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 5: the problem with the company. It's not a problem with you, 593 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 5: it's a problem the company not actually hiring enough people 594 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 5: to keep up with all the workless you never ever 595 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,360 Speaker 5: ever falln any person to ever have to pick up. 596 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 5: So I don't like it, and I think you need 597 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 5: to get the hell out of there. But did this 598 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 5: person mention how long they have left until the one year? Okay, 599 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 5: well if you're I feel like, if you're close enough, 600 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 5: maybe stick it out and just like just honestly, like, 601 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 5: just deal with it for now. The feeling of like, oh, 602 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 5: everyone kind of hates me because I'm not doing more hours, 603 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 5: because honestly, they're the ones who will eventually be like deeply, 604 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 5: deeply sad about the fact that they wasted so much 605 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 5: of their free time, not spending time with their family, 606 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 5: not spending their time with their friends, not going out 607 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 5: and seeing the sun. Isn't it crazy that we don't 608 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 5: see the sun for most of the week. I don't 609 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 5: like it. You must leave. This is not a normal 610 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 5: way to live your life. We should not be working 611 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 5: more hours than we expected you every now and then, 612 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 5: of course, but at the same time, every now and then, 613 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 5: leave early. Just don't tell anyone whatever. So it all 614 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 5: comes out in the wash. If it's like I remember 615 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 5: one time my friend her boss said, the only criticism 616 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 5: I have is that you never work late. 617 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 2: What do you mean? What is that? Like? What is why? 618 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: Yeah? 619 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 3: Exactly? 620 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 5: Do mean? 621 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 2: I do my job? Exactly? Do you mean I'm efficient? 622 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 2: I do my job? And why why should anyone be 623 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 2: expected to work late? It's it's so bad. You see 624 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 2: our team at work late. There's literally nothing going on 625 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 2: except espresso martinis and totally Thursdays totally, and I regret 626 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 2: nothing for that decision totally. 627 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 5: It's like some people think that, like I'm shocked that 628 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 5: you want to go and live your life outside of these. 629 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 4: And it's up to the managers as well to be 630 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 4: enforcing that. Yeah, obviously that's I would assume being driven 631 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 4: by management, but like it's also up to management to 632 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 4: nip that in the butt and make sure that your 633 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 4: team have a good work life balance, because otherwise you're 634 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 4: going to burn them out. Like at the end of 635 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 4: the day, literally a terrible business decision, you're going to 636 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 4: see higher turnover, less engagement. Like and you know what, 637 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 4: I used to work as a culture and engagement consultant 638 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 4: and businesses see fifty percent higher shareholder reten when you 639 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 4: have engaged employees. 640 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 5: Yes, exactly right, I'm sorry for you. The only other 641 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 5: thing I was going to say was that because it's 642 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 5: thirty seven point five hours, I'm assuming that means that 643 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 5: you're not getting paid for your breaks, which also means 644 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 5: you're still in the area. You're probably still in the 645 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 5: office when you're taking your break. So you're giving them 646 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 5: x amount of time. 647 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, fifty hours of a week at least. Yeah, not 648 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 2: for your employer. It's ridiculous. 649 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 5: So like, Okay, you're not paying me for this amount 650 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 5: of time. So that's the extra time. That's the extra 651 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 5: time when I'm still not at home. I'm still not 652 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 5: seeing my friends, I'm still seeing my family, it's not 653 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:49,479 Speaker 5: doing things that I like to do. 654 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 2: So there's the extra time you have it. You're not 655 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 2: paying me for my breaks. 656 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 5: Don't do any even a nano second later than what you. 657 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 2: Have to get out of there, leave asap. What are 658 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 2: you doing? I think like there is you have to 659 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 2: acknowledge that there is unfortunately a really strong culture of this, 660 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 2: particularly incorporate Like I can think of two jobs that 661 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 2: I've had specifically that had very money. No, no, no, 662 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 2: but very much had the same culture. And similarly, I 663 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 2: had a manager talk to me once about the fact 664 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 2: that I always left right on time, and I was like, sorry, 665 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 2: like what anyway, what I don't think it's right. I 666 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 2: completely agree. Maybe it's a reflection of you manager. Yeah, 667 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 2: like it shouldn't be the norm at all. But I 668 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 2: think the risk adverse part of me says that you 669 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 2: should stick it out until your permanent residency comes through 670 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 2: because I know that there are a lot of hoops 671 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 2: to jump through. I know someone through someone that's recently 672 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 2: had like they left their workplace. They're having to leave 673 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 2: the country because like they couldn't get a job like Jerry. 674 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 2: I just think you've put in so much time already, 675 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 2: and knowing that it can be difficult to find companies 676 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 2: that are willing to sponsor or willing to do whatever, 677 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 2: it adds the layer of complication and stress that would 678 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 2: do you know what I mean, Like you've kind of 679 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 2: be trading one kind of stress for another. I don't 680 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 2: know how far you have left to go until you 681 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 2: hit your residency. I personally would make the decision to 682 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 2: stick it out until it was secured, and then I'd 683 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 2: be booking it out of there. 684 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm the same, And in most situations i'd say 685 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 4: absolutely not, like you are not going to stay in 686 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 4: this job that you know is depleting you. But there's 687 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 4: obviously a bigger picture in mind. 688 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. 689 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 4: First, never quit a job before having another job, especially 690 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 4: when you're in a risky situation. But then the second 691 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 4: one is, let's embrace this concept of quiet quitting. 692 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, Yeah's just. 693 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 4: Start enforcing the fact that, oh, I have to leave early. 694 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 2: You can lie like I'm going to let you lie. 695 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 4: Yes, say that you've got appointment, Say you've taken up 696 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 4: a hobby after work. Sorry, on Thursdays, I have to 697 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 4: leave it five. 698 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 2: Yes. 699 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 5: And also start taking your sick days because they don't 700 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 5: get paid out. Start taking them now. 701 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, and sick days. 702 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 4: I think lots of people just go, I need to 703 00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 4: take a sick day because I have a really bad 704 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 4: lou when I'm in bed. Your sick days cover your 705 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 4: mental health, Like if you need to go, all right, well, 706 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 4: I'm actually going to take a sick day today because 707 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 4: I just need the space mentally, because I cannot return 708 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 4: to the office on Monday without having an extra day 709 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 4: this weekend. 710 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 2: That is a sick day to me, and your doctor 711 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 2: can give you a certificate to cover that. 712 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 4: If that's quiet, Check your contract, like, this is me 713 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 4: maybe not being a good Employees aren't going to like me, 714 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 4: but I don't care. 715 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 2: Check your contract. 716 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 4: How often are they going to be asking for six certificates? 717 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 4: Like obviously if they're going to ask, And this is 718 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 4: not me saying abuse the policy, but sometimes companies are like, oh, 719 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 4: any sick days need a six certificate. Some companies will say, oh, 720 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 4: six certificates are required if you have more than three 721 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 4: days off, so just know that as well, just so 722 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 4: that you've got a little bit of flexibility, but using 723 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 4: your sick days, asking for some more accommodations. Can you 724 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 4: work from home? Can you do some stuff around that? 725 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 4: Also just going oh sorry, I don't have the capacity 726 00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 4: for that, Like you can also just stand your ground 727 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 4: a little bit more and it's quite hard to do, 728 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 4: but saying oh, thanks so much for that work you've 729 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,239 Speaker 4: just allocated me. Beck, You know there's so much on 730 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 4: my plate right now that you know with this additional thing, 731 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 4: I'm not going to be able to do all of 732 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 4: that this week. What ones did you want me to 733 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 4: prioritize and just like starting to slowly push back and 734 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 4: be like, oh, actually that's not feasible because I think 735 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,800 Speaker 4: in those cultures you just get a yes mentality. 736 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 2: You go, oh, yep, no worries, Oh yep, no worries. 737 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 2: But when are we pushing back? When are we saying, oh, actually, 738 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 2: like which ones did you want me to prioritize because 739 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 2: like there's actually not enough capacity, Yeah, you should have 740 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,320 Speaker 2: hired someone else. Totally, I will say, mentally prepare yourself. 741 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 2: It goes one of two way with cultures like this. 742 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 2: Either everyone resents it and you might find that when 743 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 2: you start pushing back, other people start pushing back, or 744 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 2: you might find that people are a little bit unkind 745 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 2: about it. Yeah, so would say just be mentally prepared. 746 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 2: That so true because yeah, if I think back to 747 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,359 Speaker 2: the job that I had where it was very much 748 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 2: the norm, you know, when I wasn't willing to participate 749 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 2: in those types of things. I was like, no, I'm 750 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 2: not coming out to afterwork drinks because I don't really 751 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 2: like you guys, and you can like the jive spent 752 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 2: enough time working and whatever you know or whatever. It 753 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 2: was like the reception was not like the nicest and 754 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 2: like that's not your thought's reflective of them, not you, 755 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 2: one hundred percent. It is, but it's just something I 756 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 2: wanted to say because I think, like, if you're already 757 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 2: not in a great space mentally facing, like additional adversity 758 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 2: might make you feel a little bit shittier. But that's 759 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 2: as exactly as you said, that's not on you, one 760 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,320 Speaker 2: hundred percent. Do we want to talk about what the 761 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 2: community had to say still it? Yes, all right, So 762 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 2: we asked the community what would you do if you 763 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 2: were in this situation. Twelve percent of you said quit 764 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 2: and prioritize mental health, twenty six percent said stay and 765 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 2: set boundaries, thirty five percent said stick it out but 766 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 2: start job hunting, and twenty seven percent said write it 767 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,720 Speaker 2: out until you get pr then reassess. It's quite a split. 768 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 4: It is a split, but I feel like the split 769 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 4: is really across like being a little bit more conservative 770 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,879 Speaker 4: than like quitting and focusing on mental health, which, as 771 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 4: we all know, like that's a privileged to do in itself, 772 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 4: Like not many people are in a position where you can. 773 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 2: Go, oh, just quit my job. 774 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I'm sorry, Like I wish that we were, 775 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 4: And that's why we have emergency funds and stuff totally. 776 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:13,399 Speaker 2: We're going to build towards that. 777 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,759 Speaker 4: But I would say ninety nine percent of people can't 778 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 4: just quit and prioritize their mental health. We have to 779 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:19,839 Speaker 4: have some strategies at play. 780 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 781 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 4: Next question we asked was, have you ever worked in 782 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 4: a place where overworking was part of the culture. 783 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 2: Surely it's like ninety nine percent of Yeah, sure, No, 784 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 2: it's actually eighty one. Eighty one percent of people said yep, 785 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 2: I definitely have. Isn't that so sad? So gross? I 786 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 2: know thirteen percent of you said no, I haven't worked 787 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 2: anywhere like that. You lucky ducks. Lucky.
