Hi All,

I was on a contract and in my meeting with my manager about a permanent position, i was told, ""you didn't get it" my boss waited for me to start crying, and then said i'm joking.

Is this ok for them to do? i had heart palpitations and felt so stressed and sick and i still do. I heard she did it to at least 5 people.

Interested to see what you all think.

Cheers!

Well not sure about the legalities of it but from a professional perspective it was pretty dam stupid of her.....I'd be watching yourself and her closely while you work there.......

Yes indeed. I'm happy to have a permanent job, but my boss is in Singapore, and seems that as people are treated worse there, she thinks we should be lucky just to work in Australia. Does my boss still have to follow Australian HR laws?
