Typical Australian Traits and Social Practices

aldousnow · April 2012

hindi nman lahat,,well..may iba cguro na nkaranas ng ibang ugali ng pinoy kaya medyo wala ng kyumpiyansa sa mga pinoy....ask klang sa iba kasi medyo nahirapan ako sa pag intindi ng mga salita ng australian kc mabilis at kinakain minsan napatulala na lang ako tsaka pag boss ang tumatanong medyo nauutal ang englis ko medyo kabado...ano kaya magandang gawin dito....natural lang ba eto.....?
natural lang yan.. kailangan mo ng confident. Maski ako nga eh ganyan din lalo na ngayun di ko ma-praktis kasi wala na ako makausap pag uwi ko ng bahay... di na ako share accommodation lumipat na ako ng bahay... tingnan mo na lang yung bibig nila habang sila nagsasalita para mas lalo mo maintindihan...

Mayrun talaga na ganyan ang bilis magsalita halos di mo na marinig at di maintindihan... just ask him or her to make it louder and slower so you can understand just dont forget to say "please" he or she will understand you.

AMEP eligibility

AMEP eligibility is complex. All clients enquiring on their AMEP eligibility should be referred to an AMEP service provider who can assess clients' eligibility.

All permanent visa holders, 18 years of age and over and who do not have functional English are eligible to access the AMEP and must comply with certain time limits as specified in sections 4C and 4D of the Act (see timeframes below).

Access to the AMEP is extended to some temporary visa holders as specified in the legislative instrument for 'English Courses for Holders of Certain Temporary Visas'.
See: 'English Courses for Holders of Certain Temporary Visas'
These include the following classes of temporary visas:

Business Skills (Provisional) (Class UR)
Interdependency (Provisional) (Class UG)
Partner (Provisional) (Class UF)
Partner (Temporary) (Class UK)
Resolution of Status (Temporary) (Class UH)
Skilled – Designated Area-sponsored (Provisional) (class UZ)
Skilled – Independent Regional (Provisional) (class UX)
Skilled – Regional Sponsored (Subclass 475)
Skilled – Regional Sponsored (Subclass 487).

aldousnow, may nafefeel ka bang discrimination? sabi kasi ng mga officemates ko meron daw yan dyan. sana naman wala.

Sa work ko wala akong na feel na discrimination they are professional when it comes to work. Nasa batas na bawal ang discrimination sa loob ng trabaho. May mga pasaway din naman na racist pero ilan ilan lang nman.

Pagdating pala sa trabaho walang janitor, walang taga xerox, taga hugas ng pingan, taga timpla ng kape. pag may meeting dun lang magtitimpla ng kape sa pinaka boss ng kumpanya kung kinakailangan pa. Pero lahat mapa director tulad sa work ko project manager, design engineer, junior engineer at hanggang sa pinaka mababa na position lahat gumagawa, nag ba-bind ng report, nag xe-xerox, nagtitimpla ng kape. May cleaners twice a weeks pumupunta after office hour to clean the office at toilet.

buhayin ko lang thread na to, i find this interesting.

i once worked in a company owned by australians here in the Phils. And the aussie bosses are the worst bosses i have worked with. but reading all the posts in this forum, i felt relieved to know that generally naman daw ausies are nice people. isolated case lang cguro experience namin ng mga officemates ko before with aussie bosses.

tontoronsky · April 2014

Aussies are very courteous. Mejo OA na. haha. Nice people in general

this was actually my first impression with my aussie bosses in my first few weeks at work. they were actually soft spoken and very nice. then the company had encountered financial challenges and find it difficult to keep the business going. so the bosses axed their employees one by one... as in sinabihan ka ngayon, last day mo na din ngayon. Our HR manager (who is a Filipino) nakiusap na huwag naman ganun, na give us atleast time to prepare. But his plea fell on deaf ears. Buti na lang hindi ako ang nauna, when i knew about this, nkpag prepare ako, i started looking for work. i thought then, they are so different with filipino bosses who are more considerate and compassionate. well...i hope nga and i would like to believe na isolated case lang to.

Just thinking out loud; it would be hard to be compassionate if your firm is bleeding from financial difficulties...

Yup most likely isolated case. Depende na cgro yan sa culture ng company at gaano katindi ung financial struggles. Sudden ba or gradual. Fair should be atleast 1 month sana like tender notice when your resigning for a job hehe. Well unless youre a contractual then on the spot termination should be expected. Sa ibang company nga (though hindi sa aussie) force retirement or they given reasonable time to move. Paunti unti nman kasi yan business/ financial challenges unless meron major events tlaga like a major loss sa head office and needs to streamline the branches or ung products totally na obsolete/ sumasadsad sa market. Kakatakot din so pakiramdaman tlaga. Ang maganda sa nagwork sa finance/ internal audit eh medyo nakikita mo kahit paano ung financial problems sa fs or nasisilip mo ung senior management moves/meetings/insights to some extent. Mahirap yan lalo na ikaw lang ang breadwinner. Goodluck at makahanap ka din ng bagong work

@loudandclear - i dont think this is unusual.. Ive seen this from my two previous companies in US and AU...

On the spot din ang termination, but the effective date is 30days after (to comply with notice period).. Hndi nmn ito dahil ugali nila yun, but that's a corporate practice.. May mga security issues na iniiwasan..

So i think that has nothing to do with being Australian..

but its on the spot termination and on the spot effectrive date din, parang they didn't follow labor code in the phils. madami na din nagsarang company sa phils during that time, pero na-plan ng mgt. ang gagawing termination sa employees kaya hindi biglaan.

anyway, yes, i would like to believe nga it's their individuality and not about their race.

@loudandclear if you dont mind, how long na po kayo sa work nyo? Na experience ko din po yan dito sa Pinas, un biglaang announcement ng pagclose ng department namin. Karamihan nga di na nakuha ang mga gamit sa office. Drecho uwi na talaga after the announcement...
