Qantas Targets Older Male Staff

Are you over 50yrs old?
Are you male?
Are you in a defined benefit Super Scheme?
Have you been an employee for over 20 yrs?
If you meet all the above criteria....Qantas Managment has you in its sights.
Quite simply...they want you out.
If you fall into this demographic chances are you have had meetings with a manager or a supervisor over the most trivial of circumstances or occurrences.
Management are sending a very clear message....you no longer fit in .
Qantas wants to be seen as young and dynamic.This demographic doesnt suit this corporate self perception.
Cabin Crew for example have a disciplinary clause in their EBA..
The widely applied Clause 11.
In the last three years there have been no less than 32 Clause 11s issued.
Chocolategate was an example.
With one exception all were male and all over 50 with more than 20 years of service.
Be careful gentlemen ..you are a target
