‘Must be cool': Aussie bloke reveals jaw-dropping salary
An Aussie bloke has revealed the staggering wage he takes home from working as a supervisor in the mines. The app Getahead, which works like Tinder but matches people with careers instead of romantic partners, runs an incredibly successful series on TikTok, where they stop and ask everyday Aussies about their salaries. Recently a man was stopped in Brisbane and explained he was taking home $250,000 working as a supervisor in the mines. 'I was fortunate to go to school and live up North Queensland. I was kind of in the region and played footy for the right people and that was my way in,' he said. 'I became a truck driver and I worked my way up in the mines for 16 years.' According to job search platform SEEK, the average wage for someone working in the mining industry is between $120,000 and $140,000. The man said it took him roughly eight years to work up to becoming a supervisor and he works fly in and fly out. 'You miss a lot of things, you also gain a lot of things, because you only work half the year. 7 on and 7 off is my roster' he said. The man argued that if he moved and worked in a major city like Brisbane, yes, he'd never be away from his family, but he wouldn't get the same amount of time off. 'To come down here and earn what I'm on now and I'd have to work in a high management role and work twice as hard for less money,' he said. The Aussie bloke also mentioned that when he's working away, everything is provided for him, including food, accommodation, and gym access. Online people were pretty stumped by his massive salary, to the point that some Aussies were even in disbelief. Someone said it 'must be cool' to earn that because their brother-in-law does a similar job but isn't earning that much, and another said that the man's $250k salary 'seems like a lot' for just a supervisor position. Others debated the pros and cons of working away from home, but someone argued that it is a 'family friendly roster' because of the time you get at home. While another argued that they find themselves 'saving a lot more' when they're working fly in and fly out, but added that everyone's experience would be different. Someone else pointed out that you get more 'quality time at home' than the average 9-to-5er that doesn't have to travel. Someone else defended the man's salary and pointed out that the $250k number probably includes 'leave entitlements, superannuation and other benefits like shares or bonuses' and said the money is 'typical' for that position.

UAE: Why Gen-Z is rejecting performative work culture in the age of AI
I have worked hard to offer as apolitical and well-rounded a viewpoint I can, but it's harder and harder as time goes on to remain so aloof. This is because I have changed and, readjusting my views on journalism and my role in this industry, have a desire to centre problem solvers on the ground rather than the bloody leading story of a given topic. How I'll be doing this here is focusing on what you and I can do in our day-to-day lives wherever we are and whomever we're with. With that in mind, this week I wanted to look at the workplace for the under-40 crowd, primarily those professionals like me with a degree and desire to work in an environment that no longer exists. AI is eating up entry-level jobs, or they are simply going to someone who will do the job cheaper or under more stress, while for many of us the urge to perform or put on a face has lost all meaning. One clash is the junction between work responsibility and the importance of feedback. At one of my jobs, it's not often my direct supervisor and I communicate; trust goes both ways, I'm punctual and they treat me well. When we do check in, it is prompt and I receive feedback unbidden, because relatively early in my work when a line was drawn between management and the workers over a cascading series of mistakes, of which my failure was only the result of a manager's failure, my supervisor— who also hired me — offered a shoulder to cry on and an explanation when management had already forgotten. In recognising my fear and anxiety, a wall between us fell; often-times, older managers and supervisors see those of us younger than them, even millennials now older than 40, as children. They speak to us like children, they expect us to shut up and be seen and not heard like children, and they expect us to deliver unto them respect they didn't earn as if they are our parents and elders. I've encountered this beyond age and when they are much closer, and though I haven't heard my peers and friends with bosses younger than them describe similar problems, but with a similar ease not unlike my situation. Why I mentioned outlook is here; we as people need to ascend the work ladder together, but dispel the notion we have to or are even capable of coordinating. Under 45, or simply a millennial or younger, the problems that Gen-Z experiences are not exclusive to us. Many of the expectations put upon Gen-Z surrounding culture, technology and communication stem from those Millennial, Gen-Y and Gen-X already survived. A perfect example would be communication surrounding workload; I don't know a 'young' person who isn't as honest as they can be about how busy they are and their ability to take on more. I have found that it is older folks or people with responsibilities that will take additional work on out of a belief that they must, while Gen-Z have no interest in putting up a facade of hard work. This plays into the shifting goalposts of performance, and that my stagnating salary cannot do for me what it did for my dad in the same industry twenty, ten or even five years ago. In abandoning the performative, what results is calm assurance and mental stability. We must and should allow a part of ourselves to be stressed, to feel anxiety around work, but we all need to acknowledge the times we live in and that around the world, everyone knows that the performance is nonsense.

ECB to cut red tape for banks but don't expect a 'Big Bang', Buch says
FRANKFURT, June 11 (Reuters) - The European Central Bank will cut red tape for banks in areas such as buybacks and new appointments, but lenders should not expect wholesale deregulation, the ECB's top supervisor Claudia Buch said on Wednesday. "There will be no 'Big Bang'," Buch said in a speech before listing possible changes in the way the ECB approves banks' purchases of own shares and bonds, securitisations, as well new board members and investors.

‘Just seeing her gives me cold sweat' — Accountant wants to quit her job after just one year because her supervisor blames her for everything that goes wrong
SINGAPORE: A 25-year-old accountant is thinking about leaving her job after just one year due to ongoing issues with her supervisor. Posting on r/askSingapore, she shared that although the job itself isn't terrible and comes with generous benefits like 20 days of annual leave, the daily interactions with her only direct supervisor have taken a toll on her mental well-being. 'My only and direct supervisor has been really hard to work with,' she wrote. 'An example being how she loves to accuse that it MUST be me messing up the printer settings when I don't receive it in my mail.' In another incident, the accountant said she was blamed for misplacing a client's cheque book, only for it to be found later on her supervisor's cluttered desk. The accountant added that, despite desperately wanting to quit, she's afraid that leaving her job so soon might affect her reputation when applying for new roles. She wrote, 'I'm worried that it will look bad in my CV that I'm changing jobs even though I stayed for a year. A friend told me that for my age group, it is very common to be job-hopping, and I shouldn't worry too much. But I would still like to get insights from HR/job recruiters if it will affect the rate of my being hired?' She ended the post by seeking advice from HR professionals and recruiters, asking if staying only a year in her current role would reduce her chances of getting hired elsewhere. 'I appreciate any feedback. I would love to take the step forward because just seeing my supervisor causes me enormous stress that I'd get cold sweat by her calling my name.' 'Better things are out there; no harm in just giving it a try!' In the comments, many assured the accountant that leaving her job after a year is not unusual, especially given the circumstances. Several users, including those who work in human resources or recruitment, explained that staying in a role for at least a year is generally seen as acceptable. One recruiter commented, 'One year is fine; your reason for leaving to be shared with your next prospective employer could simply be looking for better opportunities.' Another shared, 'HR here. If it's the start of your career or if this is the only instance, it's perfectly fine. My suggestion, however, is to start looking. And if the company you are interviewing at asks why you're leaving, say there are no active push factors, but the pull factor that attracted me to your company is (insert some random stuff).' Others shared their own experiences of quitting jobs within a year and still managing to secure better opportunities afterwards. One said, 'My peers and I have changed jobs even with less than one year tenure. Also, there are places with more than 20 days of AL. Better things are out there; no harm in just giving it a try!' In other news, a nursing student took to Reddit to express her frustration over the negative perceptions people have of her chosen career. In her post titled 'Why are nurses so poorly regarded in society despite how hard they work?', the student shared that whenever she tells someone she is studying nursing in a polytechnic, she often receives a 'judgy look.' Some even go so far as to ask whether nursing was her 'first choice.' Read more: 'Why is nursing looked down on?'
