It’s only human nature...
Qantas management have done so much to deride, antagonise, be obtuse with using double standards & selective facts against most segments of their work-force. It doesn’t really surprise me that, in an unfortunate development like these pickle forks cracks, there has been a response “in kind”.
Regrettable? Sure. Is there a different/better way? Possibly.... but you reap what is sown. Engagement anyone?
