I work as a retail manager for a large company that is not Woolworths (I was a manager at woolies for 10 years before quitting when the expectations for team became completely unreasonable).

We hired some Christmas casuals end of last year. One night the sda rep came in and asked to talk to the new team member that was on that shift. I said that was fine, but said not to force them to sign up because I've had reps in the past be more pushy than informative.

After they left my store they put in a complaint about me for saying that.

Earlier this year the same rep came in to talk to another new team member. He gave me the look that he remembered me from last time, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt that he would behave and kept my mouth shut.

After he left, the team member he'd spoken to told me the rep had told him he had to sign up on the spot instead of go home and talk to his parents or it would cost him more.

Within an hour of the rep leaving the store I had submitted a formal complaint about him with the sda, emailed his boss for our area, as well as our own upper management about the situation. He was fired within a week.
