    Wrongfully Convicted at 13 for Murder, Is Freed At Age 30

    +1 This case disgusts me. All the prosecutors should be forced to give back the man monetary compensation - after all they fought hard to send an innocent man to jail, why shouldn't they at least give him something back?

    The McDonald's Thread

    Funny how a lot of you like to criticize pay at McDonalds, when in reality you're being paid the same at any other retailer, sometimes even less.

    Because they're cheap, why else? My old store, Liverpool F/C had blue shirts. It was shit.

    Depression and the HSC - how do you cope?

    I just want to add that, although Kids Hep Line is useful, I don't like how their system works. Sometimes you just need to have a vent and the timing is inconvenient so you call them up and if you happen to be in an agreement with one of their people they refuse to talk to you or even hear your...

    Depression and the HSC - how do you cope?

    Maybe you should try to stop trying so hard to post spam in this thread. Whether or not you like it, the OP made this thread to try and discuss a topic. People give you enough respect to stay on topic in your thread(s) so all you guys should at least show some respect and do the same here. It's...

    Question

    What the private restaurant has done is ILLEGAL and you can sue them for this. I'd take this matter to the Workplace Ombudsman or Fair Trading NSW, either is fine but you should get to this ASAP! The place sounds dodgy and they might not even acknowledge your letter let alone respond it. You...

    Wrongfully Convicted at 13 for Murder, Is Freed At Age 30

    Stories like this make me very angry. An innocent man was jailed and is never going to take back all those years which he lost. Every exonnerated person should be highly compensated.

    Question

    What I've learnt from my previous employment workplace was that no matter the amount, if your employer isn't paying you correctly, you need to make sure they do, by any means possible. Never think, "It's only... $.." Every dollar counts, especially if you have worked hard for your keep. It's...

    The McDonald's Thread

    Today I called up McDonalds Head Office and got to speak to Employee Relations. They're going to investigate why I wasn't paid penalty rates on New Years' and Australia Day. Look out Liverpool F/C. Everyone's on to you now. I'm planning to boycott the restaurant.

    What makes a successful salesperson?

    Poker face = your "Game on" face; the "This is SERIOUS BUSINESS" face. Customers can tell when you look confused about what you're trying to sell or aren't seriously making an effort into making a sale, so you have to try to look as convincing to them as possible, so put your Poker Face on!

    What makes a successful salesperson?

    Confidence (in what you're selling), good persuasive skills to get people to buy into you're trying to sell), solid knowledge of the product(s) you're selling, and most importantly, good acting skills (having your poker face on all the time so that potential buyers don't think you're trying to...

    The McDonald's Thread

    I've found out that my store doesn't email or put our payslips on Metime. Instead, the restaurant manager just prints the pay slips off and puts them in a small tray in the Employee's area (that's where we find our rosters too). It's illegal for your workplace not to have a record of your pay or...

    The McDonald's Thread

    It could be worse - IMHO, pay at McDonalds is underrated. Sure, it's not great, but any other retailer would be paying you close to the same figures. SEE BELOW.

    Is that you Daniel from Lansvale? I wouldn't know.. aren't you the math expert? ;) Ahh, uniform deposit.. nice. Hey did you hand in your tax form to Naomi yet? I saw your payslip, you got taxed bad. You can find our rates on...

    anyone watch biggest loser?

    Sean looks good as he is. I'm not sure why he was so surprised when he was pulling the small numbers. He'd look gaunt if he lost any more weight. And even if Sean was in the finale, there's no way he could win. He hasn't got enough weight to lose. I think the best chances this year are Bob...

    anyone watch biggest loser?

    I watched the show since Season 2. I really liked Munnalita, despite most people hating her. I wanted Alison Braun of Season 3 to win, but didn't mind Sam Rouen winning either. This season, the winner HAS to be Tiffany. I don't like Cameron or Meaghan.
