Hi, So I work as a technician looking after a building, which involves shift work and night work. But are calculated but we also have a salary as norm.

We are adding some new roles, one is a supervisor role which I have been offered.

I don't want to do anything would Doxx me.

But basically I feel a little cheated in the offer, do you think I should negotiate?

It would be a step up, from a shift tech with a supervisor, still on shift and nights, overtime potential. I would have 5 people under me, looking after things including rostering, leave, emergencies.

Salary wise, base salary it's a 1.5% rise, I asked for 10% to 14%

Including the shift allowance, it's a 5.7%, which still feels like I'm being somewhat cheated. I have constant feedback that everyone is happy, and even received a big raise last year for it.

I also feel like they are offering it in a shadowy way. When we receive the yearly increases (I forgot the word), it's displayed as a breakdown, salary, shift allowance, and super.

This offer was a flat salary with salary and shift allowance combined to make it a bigger number.

I want to negotiate, I havnt done so before, should I? Or just take the deal? Should it be displayed plainly how the new salary increases and such?

Any advice on how to negotiate is appreciated. I have everything worked out and written down, I just need to know how hr have calculated things to confirm it.

It's stressing me out to be honest haha.

Edit: i should add, iv been doing the supervisor role for the past year, but it was never an official position, as the team has grown, now it needs an official title.

Hey :) I'm currently on the optifast diet for surgery, and the convenience of the replacement bars is something I have come to like.

Are there any recipes which can serve as a solid replacement once I return to normal solid food.

I was thinking soy protein crisps,, peanut butter(powdered or a paste one), and dark chocolate (should this is sugar free?)

Should there be nuts or something?

Suitable for a lunch on the go.

Thanks.

Hi, I have been debating with myself whether I should sell my rental property or not. I could use some advice or words of wisdom.

31, bought the house when I was 27 4 years ago, approx 600k, now valued at roughly 650k. 520 a week in rent. Now with a remaining about of 490k.

The town it's in, I don't see any indication that the value will suddenly increase, it's a medium sized town with hardly any industry.

Honestly looking back at it, it was a bad decision spured on by the whole by a house when your young thing.

The thing that makes me want to sell is with the current repayments, I don't contribute hardly anything to my own savings, and given 4 years with next to no increase in sell value, I feel like my just throwing money Into a black hole.

The living situation I have places me in a position where I can save quite a lot of money, and I question the gain of hoping the house sells for more, or just putting everything straight into savings.

Please any advice or wisdom in this situation would be greatly appreciated.

edit: I forgot to mention, the proberly has a slightly higher insurance due to being in a flood zone. it's not in any danger, it backs onto a farm which is the flood zone, the house and 95% of the land is on a hill.

edit2: thank you all for the advice and info.
