Joyce ‘retires’ early 👍
What pisses me off SO MUCH - is that Qantas WAS Australian. You gave your all for it like you were in the trenches. Because you represented Australia every single time you put your uniform on….
…A post script to this. I’m very right wing. VERY. But what staff have witnessed is destruction of everything they held (and were taught to hold) dear. Anyone reading this needs to know the start of ‘Union troubles’ at Qf were a result of cost cutting WAY beyond the pale. Cost cutting to the point of rape is where I saw valuable staff simply give up and accept that everyone at the company was into getting as much money out them as you could.
Just disgusting.

Australia is not a particularly corrupt country, relatively speaking. But we surely are the most complacent

Like everyone else I’m happy to see the back of Joyce and Qantas start to be held accountable.
I just hope there is a change of direction, that Qantas manages to weather the storm and come out the other side as a company that the staff & customers can get behind.
My concern is that the staff will be the ones who bear the brunt of all this “we can’t afford pay increases after the fines” etc etc or that the company will find itself in dire straits rather soon.
Hopefully Vanessa or her very quick successor will turn the ship around.

Apart from the meal service you'd get, I'd take the Fiji Airways lounge in Nadi over that Qantas lounge any day of the week. Even the staff in Fiji were top notch.

May realise her protected regime has come to an end.

I don't think that's going to happen until the present discredited, ineffective and incompetent leadership at QF is replaced with effective, ethical, and transparent decision makers.

If "people decided they didn’t really want to work so much" since the pandemic, it's because they've had enough of being treated like sh!t by scumbag employers, many of whom took advantage of the downturn to force through workplace changes that would never have been acceptable under normal circumstances. There's more to life than working for such assholes and people like Gurner need to understand that simple fact.

Gurner Group's website puts the worth of its development and management portfolio at over $9.5 billion.
He is apparently worth less than a billion. He sounds like such a people person.

Sounds like a top quality individual.
He’s only saying that because he hires from the bottom end of the labour pool in terms of education and generally speaking you can’t bring in foreign labour at that level. Trades are all qualified and his unskilled grunt labour are probably thin in the ground with low unemployment. If he had to employ a 1000 people with post graduate science degrees he’s not going to care to much about the unemployment rate but bemoaning how he can’t import cheap labour from India due to “restrictive government policy”
