oooooh i've only heard the stories. isn't it like 70% or something?

i'll have to try proper absinthe in Europe, none of this fake shit they have in Australia.

Oh by the way (wow I didn't write btw) we probably should start talking about woolworths or townie will start deleting.

Forgot to mention, my SM told me off for wearing my white shirt when I was called in ASAP.. Green shirt was in dryer and not ironed (due to it not being a working day for me).
So. ....

Imo as long as you have the new badge on, they can't say much.
Regardless, it's not as if you were counselled. Relax!

Got a bit excited today...SM played a cruel trick on us at the managers meeting.

He told us that our Christmas Bonuses were here, and handed around $600 cash each to everyone claiming that was our bonus...AND THEN he made us throw it in the rubbish! Apparently he done it so that everyone could see and feel what it was like to have $4200 sitting in the rubbish (that was last week's wastage)

Trying to make a point that he doesn't like how high our wastage is. Said we need to half it.

Interesting, we're getting a new SM as well next week. They all seem to move around the same time...

Massive regional shakeup... a good 42 odd managers got called in to see Leon and were told they'd be moving (up, down, across...)

Where's your SM going?

We are on our 5th or 6th STM in about 10 months. We have had about 3 SM's in the same time.

In the year that I've been at my store (+ 6 months leave) there has only ever been 2 department managers change (Produce for 3 months then the old one came back) and checkouts.

Been through 3 different SMs. First one was only there for a couple of weeks after I started, then my current one started after him, left for a couple of months, then we had a temp now we have him back.

Same SSM since when I first started, oh and our STM left a year ago, and he was never replaced.

But we are a small country-town store, and these guys have been around here for aggesss so hardly anyone ever leaves.
