‘We called it Hamburger University’

The revelation comes as the workplace cop confirms it is investigating the healthy burger business, days after its founder Simon Crowe issued a panicked message to staff ahead of a “pending media story”Grill’d, which has previously come under fire for allegedly underpaying workers, requires new employees to undertake compulsory retail and hospitality training programs.

“ was really, really easy — literally like four hours’ work — it took me almost two years to get it completed,” one former Grill’d employee told news.com.au. “A lot of the was for the servery . I was stuck on the floor for the first one-and-a-half years, never in the kitchen. There would always be excuses.”

The mother said the scheme was ‘corporate welfare’. “We called it Hamburger University. It’s just outrageous. put them on a traineeship, collect from the government and pays them $14.50 and hour.” “Grill’d’s 2015 enterprise agreement applies to our restaurant teams and is approved by the Fair Work Commission,” the spokeswoman said.

The spokeswoman said nearly all entry-level staff were required to do the traineeship before the 2015 agreement, but that now only 31 per cent of all staff were trainees.She said trainees take 13 months to complete the traineeship, on average.A Fair Work Ombudsman spokesman confirmed the watchdog was “conducting inquiries in relation to Grill’d”.

“The net cost to Grill’d of running the traineeship program as it relates to government subsidies has averaged in excess of $450,000 each year over the last three years,” she said. “We are committed to training an additional 80,000 apprentices and trainees over the next five years. An apprenticeship or traineeship is a great way to get a head start in a chosen career by providing a nationally recognised qualification and delivers on-the-job experience, enabling students to earn while they learn.

'Nationally recognised training' is just Liberal code for taxpayers money into private pockets of training providers for useless training that costs nothing to deliver.

Australian GPs admit prescribing 'active placebos' — real drugs that won't helpAlmost four out of five doctors do it and say it's because patients expect a treatment. The GP industry is dodgey.
