Qantas At War
Qantas has declared War....on its employees.
A recent mailout by Lesley Grant to employees homes received some responses from employees not wanting correspondence sent to their homes.Ms Grant now has these individuals arrive at work early(Unpaid)to attend positive writing courses.The only thing missing is the "brownshirts".
When a young female flight attendant expressed her concerns regarding safety at the hotel in LAX she was told to find another destination.This was suggested by a team manager conducting a crew forum in LAX.
Walk outside the lines when using the crossing between the baggage room and uniforms and you will be bailled up by some safety person and told to correct your behaviour.
Conversations overheard in supermarkets are now being used to threaten employees.
All the changes as a result of EBAs(both long and short haul)have had a malicious edge to them with very definite attempts to intimidate employees.
What type of company is this that declares war(zero tolerance?) on its employees.Surely this does not foster engagement or morale for that matter.
It saddens me that the Great Company(Qantas) that I worked for for thirty years is now using tactics that only ever had a place in pre war Germany.It smacks of corporate fascism.An absolute disgrace.It is high time all employees rose up and put a stop to this affrontery.
No wonder these forums get a little heated.Employees are being intimidated and are in fear of losing their jobs.Frustration anger fear.What an environment to work in !!!
