The one thing I hate about working in Australia
Today marks five years in Australia for my partner and me. That’s five years of living and working in a country that represents the true land of opportunity to us. Disclaimer: I love Australia and Australians dearly, so if that annoys you, better stop reading now.
I used to say that there has never been a day I regret coming here and that there’s nothing I hate about Australia. Regret has never been my thing anyway and we’ve still not regretted our move Down Under for a single day. Sometimes it gets a bit hard when things happen with family or friends in the Netherlands (I am not Canadian, really, I am not, or Danish or Scandinavian…), but yeah, it’s been pretty much rainbows, unicorns and cupcakes every day.

He values people based on their actions and real-life accomplishments, not their resumes and social media profile.

A great example of something Not-liked in a workscape. Maybe because it affects you personally, or because you believe its something that needs to change in general. Great to have these things called out, and suggestions/examples given of what one person can do to bring about change in their workscape and the broader workscape!
