At this stage of life mate I don't work with any one but my Wife. You can consider me a slimy reptile that's fine, I wont lose a second of sleep over it. The 11 people we employ I hope don't feel the same. If you spend time around people willing to knife you over work practices I'd suggest upskilling or changing jobs.

In a fast paced project that stretches over many many months and costs several million, there are many little decisons made everyday that could raise their head again 6 mths down the track that carry large financial ramifications. Theres no way you can remember it all and if something does go wrong, shit flows downhill. You need to be able to protect you and yours whilst identifying the cheapest rectification strategy. Most of the time you are able to score variation expenses as your record of events is superior.

Trouble brewing at Bulldogs: Not all players on board with Galvin signing
There’s trouble brewing at Belmore with not all players on board with the looming big-money, mid-season signing of Tigers teenager Lachlan Galvin.
Foxsports.com.au can reveal several Bulldogs players have told those close to them that they’re not keen on the polarising playmaker joining the club.
The main concern is the huge disruption Galvin has the potential to cause to their season, which has left players privately questioning why management are rocking the boat with them on top of the ladder.
The players’ other concern is how Galvin was willing to publicly and not-so-subtly sledge his current coach Benji Marshall in his now infamous departure statement. It screamed of a player thinking they were bigger than the club.
Galvin hasn’t even arrived at Canterbury yet but the bad blood is already spilling at Belmore.
As foxsports.com.au revealed on Monday, hooker and former club captain Reed Mahoney - who is on over $600,000 per season - has been granted permission to leave his contract early.
Gould confirmed the story but denied it was linked with Galvin’s looming arrival. That’s despite Gould only granting Mahoney’s management permission to look elsewhere after speaking to Galvin’s camp last week.
NRL clubs are required to spend at least 95 per cent of the $11.4 million salary cap each year. Galvin’s $750,000 per season salary at the Bulldogs next year isn’t going to appear out of thin air.
It all adds up to players making way and so far it’s Mahoney and halfback Toby Sexton on the chopping block. Neither will be at the club in 2026.
If Galvin replaces Sexton in Round 14, it will surely be the first time in history a top-of-the-table halfback has been dropped for a teenager recruited mid-season from the reigning wooden spooners.
Sexton is popular at the Bulldogs and you can bet your bottom dollar if he’s axed for Galvin, as is expected, it will cause a drama in the dressing room.
Galvin may come out and have a blinder and nothing masks an issue like winning, but nothing amplifies it like losing — just ask Reece Walsh and his (gloved) right fist.
If the Dogs begin losing after their blistering start to the season, Cameron Ciraldo will have a serious job on his hands stopping Galvin’s arrival from derailing their entire campaign. (SMH)

I haven’t got an email
I can just imagine Richo saying to himself, 'Here Gus, catch this" as he signs off on the transfer.
I’m finding the banter between keeping notes and not hilarious.
I think we all keep notes, some just organise them and some don’t. If someone emails you saying they agree to a price, time line etc; if you don’t delete it, it’s a note.
Some are more anal than others about making it easier to recall when needed.
@Tucker makes it seems like he is making contemptuous notes about each encounter he has a work like he is a KGB operative. Surely he is exaggerating otherwise he surely wouldn’t get any work done.
As anyone who has to write contemptuous notes in their line of work knows, they are painful and take up a large part of their day. If it wasn’t needed and specialised you wouldn’t be productive.
Yeah every job has a bit of cover you A… but Galvin wasn’t doing as part of his normal day to day job, he was doing it to come up with a legal argument to get out of his contract. You reep what you sow, if his new team is weary of the lengths he went to not caring about the consequences of his actions, that those notes may hurt his old team mates and coach when put into the hands of day of his manager, they have that right also.

BREAKING
Lachlan Galvin joins Canterbury Bulldogs effectively immediately, ending two-month Tigers contract saga
Lachlan Galvin is officially a Bulldogs player, with the 19-year-old Belmore bound after securing a release from Wests Tigers, ending a wild two-month contract saga with the club.David Riccio and Brent Read
It’s official, the Bulldogs have signed Lachlan Galvin.
The 19-year-old will join the Kennel, effective immediately, bringing an end to his two-month contract saga with the Wests Tigers.
Galvin will link with Canterbury as soon as Thursday on a deal that will take him through until the end of the 2028 season.
The deal averages out as just over $750,000 per season - and is less than what rival suitor Parramatta were offering.
Up until now, Canterbury have been reluctant to declare Galvin’s signing as a done deal.
That can now be confirmed as official, although the Dogs may hold off from formally announcing the signing until after Wednesday night’s State of Origin opener.
Wests Tigers CEO Shane Richardson is aware Galvin’s management finalised the deal with Bulldogs GM of football Phil Gould on Wednesday, and is now in the final stages of rubber-stamping his release in conjunction with both the club and Galvin’s lawyers.
Despite claims of bullying from Galvin against the Wests Tigers, it’s anticipated that the release hinges on it including a non-disparagement clause, which will keep the teenage talent from publicly discussing his reasons for leaving the club.
The Bulldogs are supportive of the clause as they want Galvin to focus on his new future at Belmore without the prospect of being tangled up in a war of words with the Tigers.
The Eels can feel hard done by.
Few know how extraordinarily close Parramatta went to signing Galvin, with the teenager likely to reveal, in time, that he had decided to join the Eels last Friday, only to change his mind after speaking with his family and one of his closest mentors, Bulldogs assistant coach Luke Vella across last weekend.
The release from the Wests Tigers includes a $175,000 release fee which CEO Shane Richardson will use at his discretion.
The Bulldogs have a bye this weekend, allowing Galvin to settle into the club’s training program without a major urgency to be rushed into a starting line-up.
He is expected to be named in Canterbury’s 22-man squad to face Parramatta on the King’s Birthday Monday holiday at Accor Stadium in round 15.
What ? Are you 15? It went like he it was always going to go . Only Benji proved himself a gentleman . And a class above .
I mean , you may not appreciate that because you’re either a child , or you think like a child , but to everyone else , that shows a guy who when faced with a moment where he could soo easily have called Galvin a dog , and a rat , and everyone would have agreed with him , he chose to take the high road and not dog the kid out . Despite deserving it 💯.
That shows a guy who’s got your back . Whether you see it or don’t , that’s your choice .

It's all part of the NRL machine. Sports organisations benefit from having "stars" in the game.
And rightfully so. They are on top of the table and don't need him. A 19 year old who hasn't even served a proper apprenticeship.
