a lot of hot air. maybe!

"Performance management should not be punitive," the commissioner said. "Although the end may be a separation."



'may be a separation' = Booted back onto the street as sacked, fired, jobless, and with a bad reference from them for the next prospective employer.

"Some companies actively manage out the bottom 10 per cent of performers every year".



'Manage out' = Boot them back onto the street as sacked, fired, jobless, and with a bad reference from them for the next prospective employer.

There must be a Handbook somewhere with all these PC euphemisms.

An interesting mix: A hard line 'rightist' strategy being planned while all the time using Leftwing-progressive PC euphemisms that would make any Social-Marxist proud.

But that aside ~ the most important subtext to this whole new initiative is the government's intention to create yet more young people who will never be able to secure a loan from a bank as a mortgage on buying a home because they'll only be classified as Casual Workers.

They'll be condemned to the rental market for their foreseeable future for not having any Job Security.

Tens of thousands of Australians are now condemned to work in Casual Employment and forfeit any hope of securing a loan on a home.

And yet not one protest march on this theme is seen on the streets of this nation.

The Casual Work option available to employers is a damned disgrace. It's robbing 40% of the younger generation of any hope of securing their own home.

There should be rioting in the streets in protest at the victimisation that Casual Work means for so many people who otherwise can't find permanent employment.

This country is being managed by idiots of both the major parties.

Excellent points, don Herberto.  The young ones are fed pap at school, and basically mostly looked after pretty well by past standards, distracted by essential non-issues and a soft lifestyle, and thus have no idea what their foreparents had to do to get anything out of life.

Sad, really - and they reserve their rebellion over the essential issues such as disempowerment in real terms via financial inability (money is power) by doing drugs and king-hitting people on the street.

After my retirement I worked for a Casual Work agency for a full 6 years, and that's when I witnessed close-up-and-personal a younger generation that was on a hopeless Merry-Go-Round of endless casual jobs that took them nowhere and gave them no hope for the future.

I don't care which party is in office ~ this situation is a criminal abuse of young Australian's rightful expectation that being born in this country should offer them the sort of employment opportunities that will eventually lead them to home-ownership and a decent family life without them being permanent slaves to the rental accommodations market.
