Which is why I do not do layby ;)

On that specific day recovery had it hard enough for manager's to tell us to "do our best". They normally tell us to "get it all done or you will stay back". So yeah, the store was completely trashed and we had to fix up our areas, put away all toys found in our areas. Once the store closed we...

We don't have anything that hints to where toys are. It's basically a walk- around-the-store-looking-at-every-display-till-you-find-it kinda thing. Our store doesn't believe in doing the smart thing. Lol, what's layby got to do with what I'm doing? They had a number of people on in layby to...

Dear Customers, I know the line for Layby is a mile long, but what do you expect for the FIRST DAY of the BIG W TOY SPECTACULAR. Half the town has the same idea as you! To get in for Christmas. So, why on earth do you leave all your FULL to the top trollies scattered around the entire store...

I currently work in Recovery and would like to expand my knowledge of how Big W operates by doing odd jobs (by odd jobs I mean stuff that isn't on the list of positions when applying) such as maybe doing tickets all day or something. It would have to be a job that is done often and able to be...

We have 9 (yes 9) people each night. One for each section. Hard goods is split into, kitchen & fishing, pool and toys, manchester & camping & electrical appliances, stationary & special events & confectionary. Apparal is split into, mens & mens underwear, intimates, ladies, HBA & nursery &...

To OP, When I was a casual at woolworths I recieved about on average, 6-10 hours per week (availability was limited to after school and weekends and some weeks I would get one shift of 3 hours, others would be 12 hours so it was rocky) I'm at Big W now and I recieve 9 hours per week (same as...

Dear customers, when you ask "where are the fitting rooms". "where are boys clothes". I would love to reply: Well, Look up. yes, look on the walls of the shop. the signs that say "Fitting rooms" and "boyswear" are 300+ font and most likely taller than you. So, before you ask me where...

Dear recovery staff at Big W, DO YOUR JOB. Don't bludge around in the fitting rooms where the managers and security cameras can't see you. You have a lot to do because you are incapable of moving fast and getting your returns done - I can put away two full rolling baskets in 5 minutes; it's...

if a manager likes or is fond of you? Do they act in a certain way? Do certain things? Talk to you in a certain way? Gets you to do things cause they know you'll get it done? *Would be great if it's from experience Asking for a friend who has a manger that is hard to read Thanks

14, 9 months. Woolworths :)

Completely off topic but just thought I'd update you all on my job at Big W now. I've been there for about 6 weeks now and I have yet to recieve 1. A shirt (wearing a white shirt atm) 2. A name badge 3. A locker (which we were supposed to get on our induction, thought I'm not too fussed about...

Well, I was waiting for a transfer for months so I wasn't going to pass up an opportunity. She just called me and asked if I was still interested in transfering and that was that. I didn't realise she was going to act like she did. Besides, I'm not even in the system yet. Am I in the wrong....?

I'm a casual Recovery staff. I wasn't getting transfered so I could work Christmas time. It was so I could do the job during the whole of next year as an after school job.

[Big W] - Just wondering if they can fire me for not being able to work from the 17th December to 1st January. Here's the story. Ok, so during my induction [2nd December], we had to fill out Christmas time availabilities right? So I told the lady that I was on holidays from the 17th to January...
