Storeperson
Mar 2026Wakerley QLD 41544 to 5 years in the role, former employee
Great potential, incredibly unrealistic expectations
The good thingsMeeting good mates and handing in my resignation
The challengesManagement style and expectations requires a dramatic overhaul. Managers are completely out of touch with workers on the floor and do not stand up for them. 60+ hour weeks were consistently expected as the 'standard', not taking into account peoples personal lives outside of work. Breaches in overall safety an wellbeing of workers was consistent and when overtime was cut, they wondered why tasks could not be completed in a standard 8 hour time frame.
