So today I got a payrise in work (yay me! Very happy!)But more important than that, my wife did me a deal - she said I can buy a second motorbike if she can use the rest of my pay bump as she sees fit (which means she will whisk it away into savings before I can spend it all on bike parts).I agreed!

@kevThat's a bit of a cliché isn't it, that you rely on your wife to make sensible financial decisions that impact you both. Congratulations on the pay rise though.

@kev Nice!! I had a nice meeting on Wednesday where they told us they were suspending pay raises for our entire company, so I guess I've got to be happy with what I'm making right now, at least for another year.

@kev @jamie depends what the savings are likely to be put towards I guess. 😅

@alazarte So far, though they're talking about reducing FTEs because if COVID-19, which makes me nervous. These kids don't have jobs!@ataraxia937 @kev

@mike@kevHappy for you both. Pulled into a meeting on Wednesday and told my employment is terminated. They are having cash flow problems. Last in, first out. Apparently I won't be the last either.So, opportunity for some business to employ a hard working techie in Australia. Can work remotely!

@Horizon_Innovations That sucks. I'm sorry to hear that. I've had that happen to some close friends of mine, and I'm fortunate enough to work in an industry that's minimally impacted. I hope you're able to find something you love.@kev

@hund I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to all that. For now, we’re focusing on over paying on our mortgage to get rid of it.
