sacked...

ah man, sorry to here that. Ah well there are plenty of jobs out there.
Do u at least get a referee out of them?

 

[townie]

If you were summarily dismissed you should still call the union,

at the least they could maybe negotiate a cancellation of the firing in exchange for your resignation

told you.
the videos.
tsk.

If you've ever monitored the security footage.. and the footage that's DLd you'd realise it's pretty shit quality

So wrxsti.. if you were sacked, that means you can't work at anything Coles related anymore aye?

Tell us what happened n shit.

 

[housah0lic]

noo
lol
i mean like when you are freshly employed and they show you videos that tell you to NOT use your own fly buys
saw it in that practice thing as well as the induction.

 

[CieL]

Yeah that's true..

I really hate people that dob others in behind their backs.. We had this really really good check out chick get fired because a girl in the grocery dept dobbed her in to the office..

If I were in the grocery girl's shoes, I would of confronted them, tell them to never do it again or I'll report..

But since it's such a big company I guess they just don't care who comes and goes.. there's always someone potentially better [and obedient] out there..

 

[housah0lic]

what did she dob her in for?

was the in the mangers office, with store manager and prevention, They asked me a total of 120 questions, most of which were repititive, every incident was shown to me by security footage (video downloaded and put on a laptop). Ciel you were right, they were very poor quality(lagged alot & dark), the area it captures is also very poor, but the register i was on, the lights under it were most of the time blown out, so i really dont know, anyways.... alot of times when i didnt drive to work, my mum will come in, and ill leave the register to go clock-off and she will do the shopping and go to the car, he showed me footage of someone using my cards, his like, "whos that?", i explained "its my mother, do you have a problem with that", and he goes on saying that im the only one allowed to use the discount card, anyways....interview questions over! he told me his going to send the interview on paper to hr department at the head office, they will review the documents and then they will call your store manager and tell them what action if any action will be taken against you.

During the interview he asked me the question : "did you know that you commited a criminal offence" ,i go "no", he also asked me "did you know you can be charged with fraud" (at this time im trying not to piss myself), i said "no". I left the room, so he can call HR and see what action to do. While im waiting in the tea-room speaking to other workers, after a few minutes i can hear in the hall-way a police radar like scretching noises and codes being read out and then someone said something, and concluded with "over".

and now im FREAKING OUT, "FUCKKK...THEY CALLED THE POLICE!!!!"

i look to my right and its the armour guards!
major sign of relief.

....
long story short...lol they call me in and that said head office want to terminate your employment and can you please hand-over your discount card....

store manager and department managers apologised to me..(dont know why) all the workers asked for my email address and store manager escorted me out of the store...

bye bye coles lol.

sorry about the essay.

 

[housah0lic]

lol that's pretty cool

discount card. gotta love that 3-5% discount.

 

[wuddie]

now, when they fired you, did they tell you what it was for? ie the official reason behind the termination. a lot of the times i hear people say the manager told them 'we are not obligated to say any more' - well, they are.

 

[townie]

i'm telling you, CALL THE UNION

misuse of discount and flyscard, my manager that day didnt speak a word to me, it was the prevention guy doing all the talking.

ah man i swear u should have called the union. They would have helped u so much. When i was in trouble at coles the SDA guy who was with me said its either going to be the store manager asking u a couple of questions so he can fill a statement report (or something like that) or it will be human resources asking a long series of repetative questions to try and catch you off guard and make it look like u lied. It sounds like they had HR asking u questions.

But i would have shat myself if i were u, it sounded quite nerve racking - especially when the amour guard guy were walking towards u and u thought they were the cops.

 

[born2b]

yeah union works wonders...

but afterwards they cant really help ..

 

[blakegman]

PRetty harsh imo.

Makes me wonder if theyll chec kthe security cameras and see me reaching into my pocket and then pulling stuff out of the registers into my pokcet lol.

The change orders are such a joke at my work that once i had some spare 20 cent coins in my pocket so i changed them for 50's. Prob looks suss on tape.

they wont look at cameras randomly, theres thousands of hours, they not going to sit there looking for suspicious activity. If theres something fishy going on with your scanning records, which is all logged on a computer system, then they might check cameras.
