Also, they used to refill the shelves at night, after closing time. Apparently management didn't like paying night time rates. Now in every aisle, your trolley is obstructed by a staff member restocking from a giant pallet. I bet staff hate it as much as customers do.
You wouldn't want to be a Woolworths shareholder in the lead up to Christmas when the shelves look like this. This is what happens when you give workers AI surveillance and impossible performance targets, instead of the dignity and respect they deserve. Solidarity from Ballarat!

Two occasional hobbyhorses of mine intersecting: the necessity of creating certain UXes which are broadly useable by population and the existence of a large contingent of users who cannot read in the sense that you read.
This is not abstract. The difficulty of navigating public benefits' convoluted jargon is more visible than it has ever been before:

really don’t love this trend of talking about compounded % pay rises — it isn’t the day to day language people talk about wage increases in (i understand why it’s being used, but i don’t like it ❤️). but huge congrats to the VAU & members!!
Just in: The Ambulance Union says an in-principle agreement has been reached on the long running pay dispute. Includes: 16.98% wage rise (compounded) for most positions. Over 20% (compounded) for experienced paramedics. Additional $12500 relativity uplift for MICA paramedics

ok now axe the wages cap
The Victorian Minister for Higher Education and I dropped a note to the Federal Minister for Education — concerning their proposed caps to education export. Our message is clear: Axe the caps.
