If I gave my 4 digit store number, it would identify me. There is only 100 people at our store and I am the only one interested in the sharemarket. If you get to be anonymous then so do I. Morale in the stores is very low at the moment. Department Managers were made redundant and had to reapply for positions. At our store 2 people took redundancies. This underpayment was discovered because FairWork made Woolworths start paying 25% penalty rates for hours worked between 6pm and 6am and Saturday’s. The Nightfill Manager was earning less than his staff.
Your probably thinking $300 million is nothing to a company like Woolworths. There is still the fine to consider. If you draw comparisons between George Calombaris, who was fined $15,145 per employee, that would mean Woolworths is only looking at around $86 million.
But what really is going to hurt Woolworths is staff morale. No one gives a toss anymore, stealing is rife, people calling in sick, no one wants to work, no one wants to be there. We knew we were being underpaid, so some employees stole to make up for it, one week $13,000 worth went missing.
