Tell me your thought or experiences - is agism a problem in the public sector?

hi there. I’ve been struggling with burnout and mental health and feel like I really need to take a break from work for a while. Has anyone taken extended sick leave or leave to do self care and if so how did you go about it. I don’t want it to affect my employment or chances of future jobs opportunities.

hi. I started a new job about 6 months ago in the APS and Im just not getting along with my new manger, EL2, I have never ever had performance problems ever ever before in my whole career (the opposite actually) but he seems to pick on ever little detail in my work, anything I contribute in meetings is rebuked or countered so that now I’m staying more quiet etc. I’m thinking about moving on but don’t think he would be a suitable reference. Has anyone has navigated a similar situation and what you did for a reference considering most will ask for your current manager. Did you move quickly or stick it out? Did it work out for you? What was the end result?

If you have a modest super balance, are you worried about retirement or think you’ll be okay?
