“We are price gouging customers, we are ripping off suppliers and we are making our customers feel like criminals. What else can we do it pure evil?”
Coles’ answer to that question was hiring Palantir
Damn, really ? Citation requested.
Dear God (hope you got the letter and…), so that’s where my photo ends up. So much overkill.
Fuck this Amazon bullshit in Australia. Join a union and fight back.
Don’t join the fucking right wing SDA though, they are to blame for half the shit that’s going on currently. Join RAFFWU.
The SDA is thoroughly captured.
I’d love to see that kind of bullshit being applied on the c-level, but no, it’s always the actual workers who aren’t being efficient
Must be hard making record profits while hiking prices and having to deal with actual employees. Poor foolworths…
As a long time worker of many different jobs, slacking off is the most important part of the job. Even if you like the job. All this will do is burn out all their employees faster than normal and make productivity suffer for the whole company. I’ve worked for a lot of small companies and penny pinching is the easiest way to lose a lot of money in the long run.
But line must go up quarterly, even if you have no need…Sigh.
How much to have management dragged out and shot? Asking for a friend
Good way to get your employees to quit
Hence in the upcoming election preference LNP/ALP last. The C-class of these companies will coordinate with these political parties to reduce the influence of employees in the workplace, so they can exploit the excess productivity for there own personal gain.
Just make sure you put Labor ahead of the LNP and cooker parties since they will be objectively worse. But otherwise, agreed.
Though put the Greens ahead of Labor. Labor losing seats to the Greens, and having to depend on the Greens to govern, is a realistic possibility, and Greens MPs holding their feet to the fire could provide a counterbalance to the revolving door to corporate Australia.
Love to see it. Exploit preferential voting, have your say (personally greens, but anything other than abortion illegal will do)
I mean it’s not really exploiting if that is exactly the reason why preferential voting exists. Or do I misunderstand something?
Nah, you got it.
What is a cooker party? Google is not helping.
Cooker parties means there can be independent parties with uh… fringe beliefs that you may not align with. So it’s good to do research on each party or candidate
Indies? I define “cooker” as the LNP and everyone to the right of them.
Yeah. It’s usually been the fringe parties that were most obvious but actually you do have a point
I cannot vote but as a recent arrival I’m in the process of getting the picture.
afaik, ‘cooker’ has risen as a slang term for the wackier conspiracy theorists:
From Wiktionary:
- (slang, Australia) A person who makes or uses illicit drugs, especially methamphetamine or cannabis.
- (slang, derogatory, Australia) A person who is cooked in the head; a crazy person.
- (slang, derogatory, Australia) A conspiracy theorist, especially one who is involved in politics.
Oh okay, I think I have in mind some politicians that fit into the description. Thanks!
eureka explained it well, but my slighter broader definition is:
- Anti-vaxxer and other single-issue conspiracy parties
- Religious right parties with sometimes innocuous names (like “Family first”)
- Nazis
We have preferential voting for a reason (except for literal Nazis), the major parties should always be last on everyone’s ballot.
It should be;
- Someone I agree with
- Someone I agree with on a lot of issues but not quite everything.
- ditto
- ditto
- Greens, unless the candidate is a complete hippy fucktard that doesn’t know how economics works.
- Shit Lite party
- Shit party.
- Yellow Shitstain
- Literal Nazis.
Going to such extreme is probably costing the company on a medium/long term.
It may improve productivity for the first few weeks, but this is bad for employees physical and mental well-being. This is obviously increasing injuries and burnout. Meaning more sick leave, worse employee turnover.
Seems to be working for Amazon, unfortunately.
Amazon has incredibly high turnover. They’re starting to worry that they’re burning through everyone who is willing to work for them.
I honestly didn’t know Woolworths was even still around
If you’re from the US, it isn’t. The Woolworth part of the company was closed and they focussed on sporting goods, whatever is left of the company is now called Foot Locker.
“Woolworths supermarkets in Australia and New Zealand are operated by Australia’s largest retail company, Woolworths Group, a separate company with no historical links to the F. W. Woolworth Company or Foot Locker, Inc.”

Oh good, someone finally built the Torment Nexus. I was so worried that the title “Don’t Build the Torment Nexus” would have put them off of it.
