Go for it! Good luckBit of drama at our Woolies lately. A supervisor who I got along with pretty well disappeared off the face of the earth, which I thought was strange, so I decided to ask someone if they knew what happened. Found out she had stole over $10,000 while doing spot checks, and our security cameras caught her. Couple this with the fact we've had two supervisors get new jobs and leave in the past fortnight, means our store is a bit light-on when it comes to team leaders.
Been thinking about throwing my hat in the ring. I've been there for over a year now, I feel like I am trusted enough (I work 25-30 hours a week), and I have a strong desire to step up. I love the feeling of responsibility and teaching. But I doubt myself on whether I would know how to do everything. I've done a few spot checks here and there and they seem easy enough, I know how to handle refunds and cash transfers etc, but that's about it. What else do you need to know before you become a supervisor?
Yay Bernie [emoji571]Got called into the office today and asked if I wanted to do a supervisor shift every weekend for six months as a girl is going overseas. Talk about timely!
Only bugbear is that I enjoy my AFL, so I hope I don't miss my team playing too much.
I have Foxtel so I can record but it's just not the same as watching liveCongrats mate. Use the extra 50c an hour supervision rate to save up for a PVR and record the AFL games
Which bosses visit your store? Area Manager or higher ups?Are you from Victoria? I visited Melbourne in April and thought the AFL culture down there was awesome! So different to up here in QLD I thought, with NRL and league, etc. I need to get out more I think.
And I shall ask him tomorrow! Got the big bosses visiting tomorrow [emoji16] should be fun!
You are awesome.AFL is soooo much more fun to watch than NRL [emoji7] [emoji464]
Which team do you go for Bernie? I'm from Tiger land!!You are awesome.
And yep am a Melburnian.
I retract my comment regarding your awesomeness.Which team do you go for Bernie? I'm from Tiger land!!
Omg I cant believe woolies would promote a North Melbourne fan to the rank of supervisor! [emoji13] lolI retract my comment regarding your awesomeness.
I am a fanatical, obsessed North Melbourne supporter!
Well one of our players IS an ambassador for Woolies!Omg I cant believe woolies would promote a North Melbourne fan to the rank of supervisor! [emoji13] lol
Don't even get me started with this bullshit. Seriously pisses me off. As a Nightfill manager my fastest filler is a casual. She basically chose her own hours, and the number of hours she does a week. So she works 25 hours a week, and finishes at 11pm each night. She works 20 cartons an hour (!) faster than my next fastest filler, so I really don't care what she wants. She gets whatever she wants. She's fast and always reliable.. Seems that only PPT shifts have been rostered on these next few weeks to see how we go with wages.

In typical stupid Woolworths policy 'You need to make this person part time!' 'She should finish at 12 each day too!'. Of course she'll never agree to either of those terms. She told me in no uncertain terms she'd quit before agreeing to either of that. Either IGA or Coles would hire her in a heartbeat. She's filling well over 100 cartons an hour. The general expectation is around 60 an hour. In typical Woolworths style, they'd rather pay a PPT employee that struggles with 40 cartons an hour instead of a casual that does over 100 an hour.
