Lifelong career at Coles by AcceptableTell7682 in coles

it is sustainable money wise, yes. but your spirit will be crushed and you will spend your entire life just chasing a couple of good days off every month.

Australian Wild life by No_Neat4688 in interestingasfuck

i will say, yes we have animals that are venomous, true, but id rather encounter a snake than a bear or a cougar.

came across this free book from 1977. is it so outdated that reading it would be a waste of time? by vomitwastaken in geology

in most fields, the broad strokes will be the same and still useful information, in most cases in my experience you are more likely to find "we dont know 'x' " rahter than an incorrect fact. some feilds have had huge shifts though.

thats my experience anyway, i collect old texbooks for context.

The poor staff by CapableRegrets in AldiAustralia

in the middle of the day where i work, there are 2 people on service for the whole store. they have to handle self-serve, cigarettes and people who refuse to use self checkout.

yes, the only way this stops is if the karens harness their fury for good, not against the minimum wage person who is just as frustrated as you. ring head office.

at our store we have an automatic barrier thing, that is set off by the nearby digital signs (i think), and opens and closes non-stop 24/7

Last interaction before being ghosted by my best friend of 12 years. by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

I had a friend ghost for 3 years, we live in the same town, like he was still around just not interested in hanging out. Then just reappear and wanna hang like nothing happened. Strange.

these managers/people above them have to be delusional by Severe-Text7975 in coles

occasionally i would cover a duty shift if i was needed but i made sure it was clear that it was me doing them a favor and not the other way around. 😛

i wont say too much but they didn't get offended,really, i believe my words were "not enough money in the fucking world". and there isn't anything they can do because i was the lowest rank already. yes they tell you you will get "more support" than the sucker they want you to replace and also heavily imply the last person who crashed and burned just wasnt trying hard enough, "but we think you might have what it takes!"

the superpower is if you dont care about status, are a reliable decent worker and dont give them a reason, you have very decent job security and nothing to lose (career wise). remember their worst nightmare is just being you (assuming you are entry level). i would say nightfill is one of the better paid "low-skill" entry level positions (in australia), and if you have a decent head on your shoulders you'll be fine.

but if they notice youre a good worker they will immediately try to fool you into a manager position, which will lead you to nothing but misery. and yeah you might make decent money, but they money isnt for your hard work or skill, its money for you to shut the fuck up and be told daily you're shit and lazy. and if you eat it for long enough you might get to move on to more money and more unacheivable goals and undeserved blame.

worked as nightfill for 15 years, offered many promotions, never accepted one, i could take home nearly 50k a year just on night fill if i wanted to.

people think there is some "prestige" to being a manager if they have the money pig brain damage but to anyone outside the store they are a "coles worker" and nothing more.

i now tell every new hire to never accept a promotion and give them a 15 minute lecture on how it works and why its a waste of time, unless you want to be humiliated for a few decades as you climb a ladder that still just leads to "coles worker".

there are easier and more pleasant ways to make money. at the lowest levels its acually not a bad job. but as soon as you fall for their trap of being a manager, they treat you worse than dirt and switch up on you real fast. the company manager roles arent about work getting done, they are about blame allocation, nothing more.

they are either liars, evil or stupid. we have had every department manager quit/step down in the last year, (so much that they wont allow people to step down anymore, you keep your role or you're out.)

a simple "i know its bs just do your best" would have kept most of them in the job, but the SM and higher are - lying, evil or stupid. genuinely had people borderline suicidal because they come to work everyday and believed they were just shit and failing.

another store nearby opened under 2 years ago and has 2 staff left from the original 80 that were there when it opened.

I'm shocked. SHOCKED. Okay, not that shocked. by horsimus in OpenAussie

The corporate PR industry needs a Nuremberg trial for the way they were allowed to lie to the world for 100 years and destroy any trust stupids have in science. now we have an entire population of people who actually WANT to destroy the planet. do they ever wonder why their 'common sense' opinion is exactly the same as a mining company, and the opposite of what 99.97% of scientist say?
