I have trouble fitting in at work, but those qualities I do not see from my coworkers.  If I were to act like them I'd be doing the opposite.
Very fine and worthy goals and aspirations there by Sirota. Only problem is just doesn't happen in practice in most businesses. Most employers are just grubs out for a pound of flesh and don't give a stuff. Instead most workers just end up disillusioned trying to survive or waiting to get out of the place.
HREOC is basically a toothless tiger. The problem is already impossible by the time they do anything and they have a habit of siding with the employer.

There is the typical OZ culture of bullying from the school through to work and everything else to contend with and is considered "good" for one as it builds "character". Yeh sure. More like a whole generation of depressed nervous wrecks who can barely function.

My wife was forced to resign in the early '90's from the public service when she became pregnant.

Guidelines for Qld State Depts? Whatever they can get away with. To this day. They have the cash, the worker doesn't, so one loses. Anyway its not much of a surprise the current State Government does what it likes, when it likes and nothing changes even when they are caught out which is often.
One does need cash to do such things and our lovely State Government will happily spend millions to avoid a payout of  $20000. They've done it time & time again and few people can sustain that sort of pressure.
I'd say one definitely needs an edge on one of them. Anyway the early '90 s episode of ours is a while ago and not worth pursuing and we now prefer not to work for a boss and neither of us could ever go back to one after experiencing the freedom of a successful business even though it was conned from us via cash. The double uni was to gain breathing space to get going again while keeping centrelink happy although we will both finish our courses now as I have a mere 7 units to go and BSc but my wife has a long time yet so thats up to her.

I think I mauled the english language here somehow, yet again.
