Yep, call/talk to your manager and ask them why. Do you clock on for shifts? Have you given them the correct banking details? I failed to do this at first so they had to backdate my pay.Should I be concerned if I haven't been paid yet?
I've been working there for two weeks now.
Lulz, I get $12.50, but $16 sounds nice. I started off on $7.57...not easier, but much better pay. i think woolies pays like $16 an hour for 17 yr olds or something, plus you get double time on public holidays.
much better than slaving away in a hot, greasy maccas kitchen getting paid $9 an hour...
Not quite that high More like 12/hr for 17 year olds.
lol wtf at woolies? thats like slave labour..Lulz, I get $12.50, but $16 sounds nice. I started off on $7.57...
No, not at Woolies, at McDs. I'd like to work at Woolies and have an interview soon but alas, not yet. I guess at McDs since I'm 'old' compared to most night crew (second oldest on shift besides the manager the other night, and I'm 17) so maybe when I get to a 'nicer' job I'll do the pro-rata thing :uhhuh:lol wtf at woolies? thats like slave labour..
imo, if you're working with older employees, doing the exact same job as them and are getting paid pro-rata rates, then i'd just do a pro-rata amount of work. its pretty unfair.
Anything over 6 months is okay, but 1-2years seems to be preferred.I've been there for only 2-3 months and I hate it already. How long do you think is a reasonable amount of time to stay before finding a new job? But so I don't look like the typical people who work there for 2 months for something to put on their resume.
I was hoping to find another job when the christmas casual jobs start to arise, would that be long enough?
1. Urgh. I hide in the stock cage/public toilets if this happens.The difference from working at maccas to bigw is bloody crazy. I remember If I stood around at maccas for like 5 seconds a dickhead manager would be on to me and I would be cleaning floors. At BigW today I did fuck all and nobody ever seems to care, and people head of on breaks for so much longer than they should and it just seems normal.
The maccas uniform is so shit too, especially that orange top. Working with all those 15yr old brats gave me a damn headache.

if you can find a new job then it doesn't matter how long you've been there. But I wouldn't put it on your resume if it's been less than 6 monthsI've been there for only 2-3 months and I hate it already.

This is precisely why I hate it. Half the time you have a choice of:The difference from working at maccas to bigw is bloody crazy.

I guarantee you there's something actually useful you could be doing at pretty much all timesThis is precisely why I hate it. Half the time you have a choice of:
a) Restocking the already fully stocked cups
b) Cleaning the already clean floor/bench
c) Folding more cloths/putting paper on more cones, even though theres already plenty there
etc.
On certain areas yes, but on front counter (at the store I work at anyway where they always overstaff it) I guarantee you there isn't. I've seriously had many managers say, "at least look useful incase head manager comes along".I guarantee you there's something actually useful you could be doing at pretty much all times
Yep, well at my store it's 50% off before, during and after shifts, and 10% off at any restaurant and time.So is the discount still 50% Wont surprise me if its not anymore.
