sorry Evolution2006, but Woolworths wont take responsibility for stolen cars, and frankly, nor should they, it isnt their fault. As long as they're letting you park as close as possible in nighttime hours, they've done their bit

So in my payslips the last two weeks have been a sentence that says grad programs up Feb 16 and close March 16. I went to wowcareers and into the internal section, thinking of reading about it and maybe applying, but the link is down. Does anyone know if the applications are for people who have already graduated, or (like me) are in final year?

GROCERY GROCERY GROCERY GROCERY. if u can transfer to any department it should b grocery cuz serosiously all they do is put shit up on shelves or take them off the loading bay and into storage - that and them time flies when ur doing stock. That or being the guy who stocks up the freezers wearing a billion jackets.

Just got my transfer to grocery approved - fully agree with you, except for the freezer part - had to do that a couple of times, and it sucks.

Speaking of my old store...Does anyone else after the transfer miss their old store? I moved from a small 8 checkout store to a big 18 c/o store and I'm missing my old one like crazy. Is it just because I don't know everyone up here, and I kinda feel like an out sider? I don't know what it is but I hope it goes away soon.
Yah in exactly the same boat. I thought the new bigger, more exciting store would be so much better but i'm not liking it. Most of the managers and def the supervisors are all really impersonable/rude, and i've only managed conversation with like one other employee. As opposed to my old store where I knew exactly where I stood and everyone else (we had 8 registers too). I will go back there in november. i went in the other day and the 2IC was like 'come baaack!'. felt so loved.

in relation to knowing names...one of my old CSM's worked in some giant store in sydney and said she never even met some of her register staff. i haven't met my new CSM and she's been here for two weeks.

Ok, Seeing as I'm in meat (every second week), I have to do a Fresh Food Training thing? Can anyone tell me what it's all about and what I would have to do?

Thanks

man im seriously jealous of ALDI workers. They get to sit down when they scan, they dont have to pack, there pay rates are like 20 or so bucks an hour and there employers dont really care about their customer service so they dont have to bother about being polite. Only downside of working at ALDI's are the endless lines of customers.

回复: Re: The Woolworths Thread

Wish I worked in perishables on hot days. The front end of our store is always ridiculously hot. I just go to liquor as much as possible and dawdle through their fridge which is about 5xbigger and a whole lot colder after our re-fit.

But seriously, whats the likelihood that 7000 people has recently quit woolworths and they just need to replace them?
Pretty high, methinks.
I remember reading that pretty much 1/4 of all employees leave every year and they are always replaced.

These new positions would probably be stores expanding and new stores opening.

And yes grocery is the best department, perishables is in the same boat also.
