Of course townie is involved.
As if he would facilitate a thread such as this for ANY reason other than gathering suspect information from individuals who SHOULD know better than to admit half the stuff that they do unwittingly on here!

My day at work was interesting.
The relief area manager came in.
He tried to convince me to take up Woolies after school as a career option, and I told him there was "no way I'd ever work at Woolies full time".
HOW WRONG I WAS.
(I have not seen him since then, til now!)

How were your days?

Okay, lol. For the record, I am still a currently serving woolworths employee, but I am now but a lowly Grade 2 Casual.

I have met Liz IRL, and i dont think she works at Norwest.....yet.

 

[townie]

That being said, all posters should be made aware of the following:

I know for a fact, at least SOME people in Norwest are aware of this threads existence. However, at this stage, it is only being used to for feedback to improve processes NOT to punish employees. Whilst BoS would never give over your information to a private company, if you've made yourself identified be aware of the consequences.

Technically, posting too much information about Woolworths online is a breach of the code of conduct.

So stay safe kiddies

Ily irl townie.

 

[babikakez]

There is method in our madness.

 

[babikakez]

making us shit ourselves?! lol

Pretty much. But we weren't that far off what townie was saying about Norwest anyway...

 

[wixxy2348]

Tbh, though, we do need to be far more careful with what/how much we reveal on here
A lesson learnt!

 

[babikakez]

I agree.
And after all the mass deleting I've done recently, don't you think its funny that the 10000th post that so many of us fought over -> eyes pyrotek wherever he is <- it now belongs to a coles kid.

Wording on payment screens should make it easier for customers

Yeah except instead of "Sale + 20", it should most definitely say "$20 Cash Out"

Seems like a cruel joke to play.
But I can understand how a seemingly innocent concept can be turned into a hurtful joke, unfortunetly i've done this to people witch i had no intention to offend, but yep possibly too heavy of a joke to play on someone/somepeople.

Do you remember the last time Woolworths staff online were caught up in an online scandal? It was on that myspace Woolworths discussion board where staff were bitching about customers and it ended up in the newspapers.

I don't know if anyone was sacked though.

Tsk, If your going to bitch about certain customers do it after they leave the store and your nearly shut do it then , or what we do if were on self-serve bitch about it to the person on smokeshop or on express or someone doing basket runs, or in my case the groccery 21C he was a service supervisor when i started so he still enjoys the gossip of customer bitching haha.

depends how much you want to earn..

if you want to do alot of study i would prob work 16 hrs a week ..

3 4 hr arvo shifts (4-8) and 1 weekend 3 hr (9-12)

not too taxing.. and a lot of time around that to study

anything above 5 hrs starts to become hard work ive found

 

[killer-cupcakes]

Thanks for your advice
but atm I'm doing between 10-12 hours and I really have to finish my major work without work being in the way and I am at school after school for help some afternoons.

 

[timw7845]

well i guess its easier being at home as your just working for pocket money (unless your rents make you pay board)

I tend to disagree a little bit. I find it far better (as a uni student) to work three ten+ hour days and then have four days off, especially if you can manage to have those days off consecutively. That way I can pretty much ignore work for more than half the week (time which I can devote to studies), yet still earn enough to allow me to do anything I need to do on the social side of things.
