| 1114020 | 2010-06-28 09:11:00 | I've only just got back and read your post, or I might have come to the same conclusion that so many did and assumed it was you who was texting. sroby in post 31 explained the probable reason for being on probation. I'm sorry you lost your job and I hope something positive can come out of it for you. If it was me I wouldn't want to work for someone who puts personalities ahead of being a good and fair manager. I can't help wondering whether their staff turnover is very high. Good luck. |

| 1114023 | 2010-06-28 09:55:00 | Cheers Metla, your posts always seem to cheer me up :) Also I was not on a trial, and this BK employs more than 19 staff. This manager has always had it in for me over something personal, everyone bar the RM believes this. He was basically waiting for me to do something wrong for an excuse to fire me. Basically I was due my break at 5pm because we were understaffed. I finished work at 6. at 3 mins to 5 he instructed me to mop the full lobby which would have taken 30 mins. I was still due 2 breaks by 5pm. I complained about having to mop considering I still had 2 breaks entitled. Manager had a fit. I only received 1 of my 2 entitled breaks. THIS is why i was fired VIA txt message. He didn't even have the balls to ring me. He is a bl__dy w___er for doing it via text message. He obviously wouldn't make a managers AH. I also wonder how much it might have had to do with the new 90 day caper. |

I was under the impression all their stores were owned by a head office in NZ. So total staff would be the combined of all the stores.And yes he is a ****** for doing by txt. |

But, as is always the case, the dream and the reality are not the same thing. There was a case years ago where workers at a factory in Auckland chose to work the night shift on the Sunday night instead of the Friday night as they wanted to enjoy Friday night. Both the workers and management were happy until along came the union man and said they couldn't do that without paying the workers the Sunday rate so the poor old worker ended up having to do the Friday night shift. Did the union man even consult the workers about what they wanted. |

The DOL probably would have sung the same tune. |

Back then it had nothing to do with the law and all to do with the union not talking to the workers and allowing what they wanted. I'll give you another case of a plastics factory over Wellington way. The union man said the firm had to get a larger smoko room or get rid of some workers. They used to take their breaks in shifts so it was unnecessary. Anyway the next time the union man arrived the boss got the workers lined up and then asked the union man which of them should be sacked. He took off with his tail between his legs. |

| 1114028 | 2010-06-28 12:04:00 | The unions were good for getting some labor laws enacted. Dont need them anymore and people cant afford the union dues anyway. Maggie Thatcher is my heroine for busting the englander unions. Also some good looking chick who organised our anti union marches cant remember her name but she is a true kiwi heroine. I used to feel real anger years ago when the union person on TV always had an englander accent it grated me a million times worse than running finger nails down a blackboard even worse than those vulveas. There is a plethora of labour laws and a minimum wages unions are so yesterday like the communist party. |
