48 available last night. This morning at 10am sharp - "sold out"

Not really. I would because I was oblivious of the sensitivies around that information. But i guess that's gonna change now.

It wasn't my intention of putting somebody in a difficult spot. But I should apologise as im sure he feels the way you folks have been…

I wasn't pissed at all. More of puzzled, hence my post. As I said earlier above, I would tell if roles were swapped as I didn't have a clue…

>How much was your relative going to give you as a kick back? Probably just brownie points. My relative never asked for it.

>You could ask it, but the company or your co-workers that know this information have no obligation to share it with you. Yes I understand…

ok. I admit prior to this post, I was clearly oblivious to the sensitivities around such information. I would not have put my ex-colleague…

>You fail to realise that if word gets out that the leak gets back to this company it would reflect badly on your ex-company This is…

my point of stating that the staff has a big mouth is to state that "confidentiality" isn't really a factor for refusing to answer. Also,…

If it were vendors that you deal with for business operations, then I totally agree with this. Anyway, note taken. I thought that it was…

To further add on, they replied via email which didn't even address my argument. In short, they said to pay up or next escalation would be…

Apologies for not updating. They refused to budge and I had to pay. Went back to Australia last year and one of the first things I did was…

I was just surprised that this information wouldn't be shared as I thought it would be fine. But I guess the consensus here is that it is…

Come on... in all honesty, that wasn't the agenda. Besides it was a meeting with my lunch group

Not really. I'm didn't target my colleague because I know he gossips. I'm asking because he makes payments on company invoices. Also, we…

to be honest, I didn't think asking about how much the company paid for their renovation works to be that sensitive. To me, it was the same…

>HAVE YOUR RELATIVE ASK FOR FEEDBACK ON THE TENDER. JESUS Yes I will.

Very good point. I would ask the boss for feedback on my relative's tender. He should be able to provide feedback other than just price,…

>(renovations work already completed) Knowing the price was not about winning the contract. It was already a done deal. It was more of…

Ex-Colleague only makes the payments. Not part of committee, no NDA signed.

Not sure who changed the title of my post. But just wanting to clarify, I did not ask for details of the tender. I'm sure there were plenty…

"Notes to consider about my ex-colleague. Accounts department that makes the invoice payments. Not part of the decision making committee."…

I guess a good question to ask is, would you oblige to give that information if an ex-colleague asked you that same question? If no, why?…

Hi OzB Community, Just wanting to get a general view of what people think out there. The story flow is as follows: 1) I heard that my…

Thanks! Yes, better to bring this out and discuss. We will most probably hold a family meeting very soon.

ideal family you have

Good point. Will try to find out from my aunt which lawyer my grandmother supposedly saw. Have I feeling she'll cook up something but worth…

Thanks. And sorry for your loss too. Really sucks to see how trusted family members act this way. Will discuss with the other 3 if we are…

Very well said. However if she did indeed change her mind without telling me, I would be very surprised as she shares everything with me.
