Let there be light! (case) It is more than five years now that \\F/{\\;a\\g\\lj\\g\\ is working as payroll officer at vC\\gvr\ /s\\g\ }\\J}\\z'/& It is a medium size Melbourne based home builder where her job should be well regarded. \\Fj\\a/\\g\\h\\z/a\\considers herself happy working there, although she often finds her work stressful. The construction industry had a COVID shakeup with lasting impact still being felt by most other competitors. Still today big and small companies are shutting down alike. How much is this turbulence taking atoll on \\Fj\\gvs\ j\\g\\i\\s/worklife balance? Or should it really matter for her? Interestingly, she notices that her colleagues keep complaining about their workplace on matters including workload, pay, and benefits - much in the same way ConstruVic's clients use to do about their own. Funny that none of these complaints ever reach the project manager Greg, who is already chaotic about the prospect of this workplace. Instead, all of them rush to impress Greg whenever they find him in the kitchen or corridor or in the lift. She too wanted to complain. However, if at all, her points of complain would certainly differ from the rest. She is the only staff who worked every workday from the COVID period to-date. With no clear job description of her role, she is apparently the most flexible employee working there. For example, often she was working as receptionist in Diana's absence, as cash officer in absence of Sean, and as finance officer to fill Anna's absence. She receives their occasional thanks for that. But no thanks when she asks for a leave. She knows that she looks, talks, thinks, and acts different from others because she bears much higher sense of values, honesty and diligence. \"Who cares if | am like this\" she then tells herself. So, she stops short of complaining or expressing her sense of isolation in the office. \\Fj\\a/\\g\\lj\\g\\ would not possibly worry this much, had other staff behaved themselves at work. Yesterday she heard Diana complaining about immigration when she said, \"This flow is too much\". Sean started from there, \"It's a necessary evil anyway. Look at our number of housing contracts and the industry is booming\". \\F/l\\g\\g\\l;\\z/a\\wished that was the end of it. Oh snap! The recent hikes in interest rate, fuel, food, and construction materials, choked off supply chain and fall in housing contracts became the staff discussion points during yesterday's lunch break. At one point, Anna blurted out, \"| know about Australian economy all too well. No wonder we are facing this because the immigration has become too much on our plates. | mean, look at the inflation, and our industry collapse seems like knocking at the door!\". Others nodded their heads in sheer agreement, and they were all frequently looking at \\Fj\\g\\g\\lj\\z/a\\ during this conversation. The kitchen again became the same melting potas her office when Greg asked, \"Rasha, where did you say you came from?\" Rasha knew about the country of origin for all other staff and that it never lost its crown in immigration. She kept her usual cool, and instead of reminding this, she only replied before she left, \"Save 3.2% indigenous, aren't we all immigrants?\" While getting back to her desk, \\Fj\\g\\g\\h\\g\\ asked herself, \"What to expect from my workplace, at all?\" and \"When would these people grow up?\" She wonders whether the 'grumpy' engineering department has any similar scapegoat at all. \"How would | ever know\
