I use to do the inductions in my area group before my CSM put a stop to it (she said the HR girls were being lazy getting me to do it) and if there was something majorly wrong with someone I would just think "there manager can deal with it and choose if they care or not"
I hated doing inductions so much
Teehee, I don't remember posting this, I think I was quite drunk.

Not uncommon. When I first started, the group interview and induction were held at this one store (nearby to me thankfully). HR ran the interview and the service 2IC from this particulae store ran the induction.
Another 2IC from a nearby store ran the department specific training too (and that still happens)

So, my 2iC keeps giving me shifts way after the roster has been put up on the wall, and not telling me about them - obviously making me look bad to the poor supervisor who I tell I'm not coming in when they ring me because I'm already somewhere else.
Example, I "apparently" have a shift today 12:30 - 17:30 - yet I have a copy of online rosters from Wednesday showing that I didn't have a shift today.
What to do?

It's not your fault. Online rosters are an official rostering service provided to employees. This is the equilivant to the in-store roster not telling you that you had a shift.
If the online roster doesn't say it, it's not your fault.
Speak to yoru CSM, if nothing changes, just go higher up (Assist SM and even SM)

So i have to fill out an online form as part of the induction, but i can't login to the website with the login info they provided me. Should i call up woolworths HR department?
quote from allyours website
"Any late adhoc roster changes in This Week (Week 1) will not be published online. In the event that changes are made to the roster, you will be contacted by your Manager via normal communication channels eg. phone call, SMS etc."
quote from national agreement
"2.7.6 Start times may be changed , if contact is made, prior to the employee's arrival
for work. Where the labour schedule is changed after the schedule has been
posted on the noticeboard, the Company will notify the em'ployee of such
changes . Notification will include contacting the employee by telephone or
other electronic medium and leaving a message. "
That part is taken from the section on casual employees, but i can guarantee if you're not notified by them, neither are the casual employees.

i am not sure. I did get a number in an email which is suppoed to allow me to log into the woolworths website.
I don't know if this is a bad thing
but I've just drank half a bottle of gin, an then posted a thing on the HR blog of our workplaces website
It was all in sorta professional language, just wanting clarification on some aspects of the national agreement.

I know it is quite common, although it did end up being quite a breezy day but just very repetitive. If you ever had your induction done in the past two years in the Sydney East area by someone who took no shit and was obsessed with having black socks on. Then it may have been me lol

Looks like my store may break the 2mil mark this week. We don't do that often at all
That is heaps good.
My store does that often during Christmas.
I believe we average 300k a day during the busy times

Jesus, 100K is good for us on a busy day, and we're a medium sized store in a shopping centre!
I guess we hAve a large store the floor is at least 250m by 150m
