1114000 2010-06-28 01:40:00 I hope you do, and that you're experience gets heard by the right people, Jumped up minor managers should not be left to make life miserable for anyone.

They only do it because they get away with it.

Yep, I could be petty about it and just throw a brick at his car :badpc:

But the missus convinced me that might not be such a great idea lol.

He had been nitpicking at my performence all day. had just had enough of it

It does seem to happen a lot in fast food places, do these "managers" think they are Gordon Ramsays?

Why don't you get these outbursts in supermarkets?

1114003 2010-06-28 01:58:00 Another word of advice here. There are time limits in which to take a case and you have to advise the ex employer you are going to do so. The case may have to go to mediation. Sweep (90)

You get those kinds of people at CD too, at least where I work you do. Although fortunately for me most of my superiors are great people. We're a bit of a family sometimes, we even have names for some of them....Big Mama (the big Samoan lady who oversees all) and Big Sister (another big but younger Samoan lady who's pretty much second in command).

1114007 2010-06-28 03:15:00 If unions were all that some people claim then they would have the support of the workers.

But, as is always the case, the dream and the reality are not the same thing.

1114008 2010-06-28 03:19:00 if they are casual they may not be eligible to join a union. if they are casual i think they don't get compensation even if redundancy (by the law) unless the employer provides it extra on the contract or thru negotiation at time of cessation. reasons that some larger orgs incl govt will use temping agency to hire people and have employees on the temping ageny instead as a "contractor". so technically you are not a staff of BK, you are a staff under the temping agency. the temping agency is your employer - not the one that you turn up to work every day. with that you get on a diff pay structure, miss out on any perks.

something like the chinese flight attendants with AirNZ :xmouth:

some temp may be eligible but only if you meet a min length of contract isn't it? :confused:

1114009 2010-06-28 03:31:00 I suspect many people jump to conclusions based on their assumption of someone's age and hence demeanour, So he used the word "over" rather then "via" and everyone so inclined judged him.


Shame.

And, Under "over" in the dictionary


21.via; by means of: He told me over the phone. I heard it over the radio.


Perhaps an apology is in order.


"then" = than??
