Is Miss

What's got up your bum? Lack of membership also make unions irrelevant. And WTF should I have references to firms overpaying workers?

And don't complain about being addressed as miss. My spellcheck obviously does not recognise you silly name as a word, and I'm sick of having to override it just because you complained about it once, you cantankerous old coot.

ttbn,

Well, we do have something in common, my spell check doesn't recognise ttbn as a word either.

Is Mise is perfectly understandable if you have a Gaelic spellcheck.

Issy, my Garlic spellchecker isn't working! Please past the spaghetti sauce.

Paul,

Neither is your English one a lot of the time!

ttbn

Refresh my memory, when did I complain about my 'nome de guerre' being mucked up?

I just thought that you might have been able to direct us to an overpayment of wages as ALTRAV (damn, there's another one) seems to have given up.

One would think that if businesses/companies made underpayments because of an error in accounting that there would be a few errors in the opposite direction, however, if they were deliberately underpaying that would explain the apparent anomaly.

What do you think?

Issy, no I haven't, nor am I likely to "give up".
Without those of us with voices of reason, common sense, objectivity and maturity, I for one shudder to think what a useless medium OLO would be.
Now on the topic of overpaying.
I'm glad you brought that up, because for as long I can remember we have been overpaying this lot of lazy, entitled, self absorbed ingrates.
You think that the money you get each week is a judge for how much you earn?
Well old chum, you conveniently forget ALL the other benefits which in monetary terms amount to, A LOT!
Super, maternity leave, overtime, and a million other "hidden" benefits that someone has to account for, or pay.
That someone is the boss or the company, and they aren't giving it to charity, they are giving it to YOU, as income.
So don't try to be smart and conveniently forget how much the unions have BLACKMAILED businesses with their filthy and low life antics.
Holding companies at ransom if they don't do as the unions say?
Who the f@ck do the unions think they are, and what's worse is that there are the low-life greedy, selfish, entitled scum of the public who agree with them.
Don't you sometimes wonder why things are so expensive?
The goods are purchased at Chinese prices, but then sold at much increased prices.
The services, 'trades', are charging way too high prices, have based their fee's on those working on the mines, so as not to be outdone or seen to be worse off than their FI-FO mates.
Again totally unjustified and if I had my way, illegal.
So there is your answer as to being overpaid, so when a company, no sorry, not the company, the PERSON or PEOPLE who should have picked up on any pay scale changes or inconsistencies, did not, it was NOT the company who was at fault, but the lazy, ignorant, entitled, overpaid moron who did not do his job that was at fault.
Let's lay the blame where it belongs, not the companies, the PEOPLE!

One problem Issy with Woolworths and Coles and their subs, is Store managers, and Area managers, their performance bonus is based on the stores bottom line. Its common practice for Store managers, rather than to pay overtime to Department kiddie managers, say during store uplifts or stock-take etc, is to "pay" one for one time off in lou of penalty rates, some of those kiddie managers could have up to a hundred hours owing. Then if a kiddie manager was moved to another store, common practice every couple of years, Woolworths and Coles don't like any of their managers to be to long in the one store, they get to familiar with the staff, not good. often owed time is simply lost.

The SDA, is a piss weak union, simple as that, its sell to prospective members, mostly kids, is not wages and conditions, its not protection, its more likely discount movie tickets for signing up.

p/s One of our grandsons when he worked for Macca's was on a 3 year trainee wage without the trainee badge, doing the reg stuff of flipping burgers, but completing some in-house b/s work sheets (in his own time) to earn an in-house certificate. Seems it was "legal", and it saved Macca's money.
