Unions aren't helping.

Agario is so frustrating!

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Just mass fire everyone via sms

That's the done thing now isn't it?

Heard they're not big fans of un-trained employees

Oh shit son I'm so massive, haha fk I can eat anyone, oh f**k, what the f**k is that...split...game over.

Even just starting off and it being so uncontrollably fast that you just waltz into another cell.

But man is it a good time killer when you're waiting for something or bored in bed.

Apparently it's only acceptable for employees to text about taking sickies but can't text to tell em they are no longer needed

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

I don't see much difference. I've seen plenty of staff quit using SMS too so I mean if it's good for the goose..

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

it's calling in sick for a day... vs getting fired... for good

and you can't see a difference...

would you fire people via SMS?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Think i'm gonna need to strike for the rest of the week until I get an 18% payrise...

this is generally regulated by the Fairwork Act if there isn't an employment contract in place

Under the Fairwork Act employees don't even need to give written notice to quit or resign they can say verbally

So using a text to quit is sufficient

Sadly the same can't be said fir employers who must provide written notice for termination

f**k the numbers game, it's what makes most management so f**king useless. Many don't care who/what/when/how, just the dollar sign.

I would have thought statisticians and market research companies did all the hard yards for big business...

This is my point it should be fair for all I don't think employees should be able to use SMS and neither should employers.

They'll need the written notice for their centrelink benefits...

Besides probably being more expensive (unless you go offshore), a potential problem with outsourcing your data analysis is not always being able to relate it to products/services/outcomes unique to your business model and translate in terms your managers and employees will understand and make decisions on. Even if you achieve this, it's still a costly back and forth that could happen within the one person's brain.

If they can get marketing coordinator and data analyst in one, they're combining two roles and cutting out the Chinese whispers of a middle man. Still, it sounded like a pretty specialised role - I have no doubts they're earning their 200k.

I think in a similar manner, I outsource copywriters to write me articles for publications but sometimes they just don't use the language that you use to achieve homogeneity across all company documents, or know what's important to hone in on. Sometimes that takes years of surrounding oneself in the company culture to pick up on, a benefit outsourcing really misses out on unless they've been around for years and years. Sometimes I just write the shit myself so that it's on point first go lol
