Bobby. Gold Member Offline Australian Politics Posts: 112109 Melbourne Gender:	Masters has gone bankrupt Aug 25^th, 2016 at 3:05pm Just heard on the TV - Masters has caused Woolworth's to lose $1 billion. I've always wanted one of those fancy Dremel kits. They cost $199 at both Masters & Bunnings. https://www.masters.com.au/product/900046360/dremel-4000-high-performance-rotary... Maybe I can get one for $50 at a closing down sale?

The 15 minutes I was there before closing time, I could not find anything to buy that was worthwhile. That with a 10% discount on ticketed prices. I did not even feel like buying the large lawn seeds that I really needed for the front yard. Geez, if that's what they have, it is no wonder that they could not make a sale to break even.

Still early ... at this point in time it's only 10% off

as it gets closer to closing the discount will get bigger. The trick is not to get to greedy or what you want will be gone

I found that their prices were the same down to the last cent as Bunnings - they copied each others prices.

Nothing about the thousands of Masters' employees losing their jobs in that link, Booby.

It seems you're more interested in getting a cheap Weber, than you are in people losing their jobs ... cars ... homes ... families.

There is now poof:

http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1478293455/0#14

jobs lost:

Woolworths shuts Masters, sells the property, and now 7700 jobs are on the line

Woolworths will gain about $1.5 billion from exiting its home improvement division, including selling the property of the troubled Masters chain.

The company says it will work hard to find Masters employees jobs within the group or will pay full redundancy. There are 7,700 staff in the home improvement businesses

The retailers says Masters will cease trading by December 11.

As I understand it, all employees are being offered other position within the Woolworths group of companies.

Sure, it'll mean they'll stop hiring 'new' employees at Big W or Wollies for a while, but at least those at Masters will have something to go to .

They're offering jobs as checkout chicks etc. (which means a reduction in pay), or redundancies.

Booby doesn't care, though, as long as he gets his cheap Weber.

Good to see you're so concerned about the thousands of workers losing their jobs, Booby.

As I understand it, all employees are being offered other position within the Woolworths group of companies.

They're offering jobs as checkout chicks etc. (which means a reduction in pay), or redundancies.

Booby doesn't care, though, as long as he gets his cheap Weber.

I believe (although not sure how accurate the information is) that the reduction in pay stems from the fact that working in Masters is classified as 'warehouse' work, whilst working in a supermarket is 'retail' ... retail pay rates are lower than warehouse.
