PepsiCo are giving employees the option of "swapping out" Australian Public Holidays for other days which are more culturally appropriate to them. This means that someone with Chinese heritage could take Chinese New Year off, or a Jewish person could take a day to celebrate Yom Kippur.
So far, so good...
Except that the Anglo-Saxon religious holidays (Christmas & Easter) are non-negotiable. Labor Day and Melbourne Cup Day, on the other hand, are now negotiable. This makes no sense - those aren't culturally linked to Anglo/Saxon heritage, they're something which is uniquely Australian.
Of the holidays which are negotiable, only one is culturally linked - Queen's Birthday. I'm all for swapping that one out, and coming up with something that's actually relevant to Australia and Australians.
What PepsiCo are doing is actually a really good idea, it's just implemented in a really dumb way.
Only a w***er would say that though.Only a w***er would think of it that way though
I can understand that. A lot of companies shutdown completely during that period.It's probably due to operational factors eg shut downs. One business that I work for doesn't open between xmas and new year's day. No point me rolling in on xmas day.
This is going to sound way worse than it is intended.Soft interview.
No discussion on how she got shuffled around jobs? trip to the Vatican? nothing?
So from the outside people like us go wtf, but its legit, just not in a way that makes people completely comfortable.
I'm a CPA & their carrying ons have been crooked & sickening.I believe Australia currently calls this, "passing the pub test"
EDIT: and quite frankly, i'm sick to death of people claiming the legal barrier is the only one worth passing.
I'm an accountant as i've mentioned about a billion times, but i'm also a member of CPA Australia.
In the last five years, we've been bled dry by a cabal of thieves on the board led by Alex Malley; he as CEO and the entire board (!) resigned last year after their activities came to light
We had our AGM a couple of weeks ago and a most spiteful affair as you could imagine.
Disclosures at the AGM and the annual report were minimal, and the new board - installed through a labrynthian corporate governance structure (that's embarrassing for an organisation like ours to have) - are keeping with reporting barely up to the Corporations Law.
We're theoretically supposed to be the most "integrity"-laden organisation in Australia, but we're a joke. It's infuriating.
...because the board would rather follow the law, than pass the pub test.
Slimey Sam is a shocking judge of character.
This guy.

How much more lacking in authenticity can Shorten look by wearing a brand new Akubra when visiting aboriginal settlements in the NT.
Can see him facing some backlash over this
.....What if i'm confused ?
