"proudly Australian company".....

"proudly Australian company".....
thanks for asking, i guess i am just stumped about the whole thing and just needed a rant.
its abit complicated, i basically work under CEO, owner and the director, that's 3 different ppl i have to satisfy, they promised the world in the interview but its just bull****, i am there to do their dirty work (ie organisation), i am under probation so no real options because they can say or make up any thing they want at the end of the day a decision was made, no warning...
sorry but just a rant...
starboarder. Mate, every day a new option comes by, some you see, some you dont. Hang in there, you will do OK
My brother went same road as you, although a few years back now. Bloody shattered him to be made redundant, no pay out, just "well its too tight, so ya gotta go"
Three months, with such a small cash injection, he was off the ground. Did it real bloody tough for many years, scraping by.
He now employs 14 people. And the best bit, he worked hard at it, and bought the Company he was dismissed from, at "his" price, after 10 years in business.
He reckoned it felt good watching his two old bosses, mumble how it was the biggest mistake of their business venture to let him go, as they signed over their Company to him.
The grounds are the company is going broke and can no longer afford your services Unfortunately as it goes for "toe cutting" unskilled are the first on the hit list.This is happening across the board on a wide range of companies at the moment. What is your age ? The only certain future for Australia i mining (id question that with the gfc)and the petrochemical
industry.
yep, feel your pain mate, just got fired aswell just before the end of my probation period,pretty convenient i'd say

I left my job as paperboy when I was 15, It's been all downhill from there 
Im trying to get a mature age apprenticeship, I am a drafty but I dont like the work, want to get back on the tools.
That's workplace politics for you, my guess is the CEO, owner or director stuffed up big time and needed someone to blame.
Also sounds like the liquidation was a way of stealing money from other people by not paying out debts.
Hope you find something better.
Depends if the boss likes you. That's the most important thing, you can smash the work out, run the company like a machine but if the boss doesn't like you, it's over.
It has nothing to do with you and your just as likely to be sacked/pushed out for being a good worker as being deadwood, so I wouldn't take it so personally.
The only thing that annoys me is even though your a good worker, gaps in the CV never look good.
^^^ The opposite in a small business...if you're a productive employee that covers your wage, overheads & then some, it doesn't matter if the boss hates you, he/she won't let you go because you're making him/her money! (keeping it pc
)
Maybe we should be pollies??? 30% pay rise just announced! Personally, I think that they're underpaid, but in these times when there are so many without work, how can they justify a hike like that?!
