I don't think that matters. They do expect you to devote 24.7 of your life to woolworths. If not, YOU FAIL AS A FRESH FOOD PERSON!

I told them i have a doctors certificate, and my doctor actually told me that i shouldn't go into work for my next shifts - yet they still harassed me about not being able to sleep for 3 days "not being a real reason", laughing and asking me "what could i possibly be stressed about?" and "You...

we are we are, we are, we are the devils' people, woolworths the devils' people... has a nice ring to it.

It seems not many people in the work place (especially woolies it appears!) understand that. I guess its easier to blame someone for them. I hope everything sorts itself out with you :]

Woolworths are nothing but bullies. I called up physically ill from no sleep in the past 72 hours due to stress from both study and personal reasons, then they abuse me for not having a real reason for calling up sick. I'm not going to show up for my last shift, not even going to call them. Why...

finally quit woolworths, 2 weeks left! Never been so relieved. Going to miss some of the people, other than that, glad to get out of the hell hole :] how long have you been working for woolworths? What department are you all in?
