Spare a thought today for Tony Selak who was sacked by Woolworths after 18 years as a loyal Safeway Supermarket manager at Southland in Melbourne's southeast.His crime? - Having 2 beers at lunchtime, contrary to company policy.
Two beers! I bet there will be plenty of Woolies bosses getting into the festive cheer in the coming weeks with their obligatory rounds of Christmas drinks and boozy luncheons.
And you can bet your last dollar that none of them will be sacked for contravening company policy.
Despite losing his case at the Australian Industrial Relations Commission, Tony Selak can hold his head up high as a decent worker and a loyal employee of an organisation which has acted in a totally unfair and un-Australian manner to a man whose punishment clearly doesn't fit the crime.
