Management Intent and Purpose
Management have deliberately employed dysfunctional individuals to be Team or CC Managers.
They have little intellect,no compassion and even less remorse.
Most posess little or no interpersonal skills.
The intention is to keep the workforce under pressure and off balance.
Some will fall victim to clause 11s while others will give up and leave.
In short the attrition rate will increase.
A healthy attrition rate in any business is around 10% p.a
Thats fine while ever there are people to replace those leaving.
We have pretty near full employment.
So QF is drawing off a very small base as evidenced by some of the individuals employed recently.Under normal circumstances these people wouldnt even get a look in.
The growing number of airlines in Australia means there is now competition for suitable(unsuitable?) applicants.
Eventually some one will realise that this is having a negative impact on service levels.
Service levels are declining but its the Crews fault.
The fact the wrong people are being employed and that their training is inadequate escapes those above.
What we have here is a recipe for failure.All the experienced people leave and you are left with those who are not bonded to the business,are poorly trained and are not really suitable for the position.
A brilliant plan for being the worlds pre eminent airline.
But hey...the attrition rate is up.
Genius....pure Genius.
Someone is receiving an incentive bonus for this grand plan.
All onboard managers should elect to downgrade at the same time.
Chaos can be so entertaining.
