These are fictional stories based on true workplace drama, straight out of the tangled world of Australian payroll and employment law. You won’t find HR-approved happy endings here. Just people navigating red tape, broken systems, and those awkward conversations no one wants to have, but everyone needs to hear. Find out what happens when policy meets
personality…and things start getting real. It’s not just about compliance. It’s about empowerment. About what happens when silence costs too much and someone finally asks a question that changes everything. Because this isn’t a spreadsheet. It’s not a case study. It’s real life at work. And what counts doesn’t get counted unless we speak up.

You could say the smell of diesel and damp cardboard was the backdrop to his life.
