What a lovely start to the week. One of my bosses messages on Teams group chat wishing me a happy birthday for yesterday. 20 minutes later, she sends me an email saying I won't be eligible for the bonus that all other staff will be getting for the team exceeding Q2 performance for the most bullshit reasons (the real reason being, they asked me to leave and don't care to pay me anything extra, even though I contributed like everyone else). Together with some wank about how she wanted to tell me in person but the time of year makes that difficult. Spineless individual.

Planning to resign within the next month and it cannot come quick enough. Thinking another sickie between now and then too.

That sounds like workplace bullying and depending on the size of the bonus might be worth a call to fairwork.

Happy birthday and fuck these people.

Happy Birthday for yesterday.

January (and late December, early February) birthdays are unrewarding. “Sorry we didn’t get you a present, we re still broke from Christmas”.

Good luck with getting a redundancy and payout, as long as it doesn’t come at the cost of any mental health.
