I would have given him a hand with a spanner to the brain!

It was pretty freaking rude.

[Adam]

Was he drunk or on drugs?

[B4TT]

Nope, that was another bloke, who was also fired.. started smoking weed on the job......then smoking white ox to cover it up... then started harder drugs and come to work practically crab walking... he is also now departed.

[simon]

Both guys definitely fucktards...

So my boss isn't here so i can write this now. Looks like i will be quitting my job shortly (month or 2) and doing a mature age sparky apprenticeship.....Im kinda excited. ****if all goes to plan that is!!!****

[B4TT]

Yeah, these are the sorts of things that some employers have to deal with though.... It is like Russian roulette, you never know what you can end up with. The worst is that they started off fine, made good employees than just lost it....

I am sure Nik has some stories that would make people cringe, he may not want to tell them though .

I want to finish off my shopfitting apprenticeship once Rach is working!

Bloke seems interested in my struts! Sweet! I've been meaning to advertise them!

Just hope he understands what he is buying!

[Morgan]

Haha I thought you said shoplifting in your original post

[simon]

It takes years & years of dedication to become a fully qualified shoplifter....

Career change should be good. 2 years of shitty pay but will be worth it in the long run. May have to sell the wagon.....

[Evil_VZ-T]

True one both counts. Maybe when I get a minute I'll throw over some classics.

Chef argues about pay rate. I actually pay one level above pay rate. Went to fair work. Nice one dickhead, got told he was already being overpaid, and we could possibly be entitled to backpay.

Chef doesn't like me being in the kitchen, doesn't need someone 'over his shoulder' - serves sour cream instead of marscapone. "There's no difference". C'mon son.

Chef couldn't make it to work today, so I have to do breakfast service on my day off. After that? Thought I'd check out a new spot that had just opened up. Guess who was working the pass? No shit. Hey Chef!

For all the bad, there's a lot of good, but in Australia... the service industry is a joke. People treat hospitality as something you do while you're on your way to something better. Something amazing. Make this amazing. Make the service and hospitality industries of Australia amazing, something to be proud of. People earn in a day what is paid in an HOUR in Australia.
