I work in the call centre of St George and the 4% pay increases each year are looked forward to by not only myself but the others consultants as it helps with paying the bills & with the general cost of living.Being part of the Westpac Group the 4% should be available to ALL staff members be they St George/BankSA or We...stpac it is grossly unfair & unreasonabe to have us on the STG/BSA side of the Group getting the increase but not our colleauges in Westpac,it should be given to both sides as should all our benefits we have in STG/BSA.

We're pleased to announce the winner of our book giveaway, Joshua Young of NSW! A copy of Don Watson's new book Bendable Learnings is on it's way to Joshua for providing an excellent example of management speak.
The power of "AND".
Instead of offering a customer one facility that services their needs offer them the facility they are asking for "AND... Read More" offer another one….such as offer them an overdraft "AND" a credit card, or a Business loan "AND" a home loan.
Thanks to everyone who entered the competition, and confirming there's some very dodgy manipulation of the English language out there!
