Personally, i would avoid the unecessary stress, move on as long as you KNOW you have something else lined up. |

If you need a reference from them in the future it's best to stick it out. Otherwise I'd do one |

There is nothing to be had by holding out. Apart from enjoying
the companionship of your work colleagues, it sounds as
if you hate the job. The people who are taking over are really
just interested in selling the stock and getting a decent price
for the premises.
If someone does buy Woolworths, you can go back, with your
experience. I am sure the new owners will need you, and
others like you, to come back.
If it is only pin money, and you are not happy, then get out.
Like now..... |

If I were you I'd definately leave now and look for another job straight away. As it's coming up to xmas there will be loads of temp xmas jobs going so even if you only get a temp job at least it's something and it may turn into something permanent...
Also if you're pretty sure you won't get a pay out, there's even more reason to leave now before it gets any worse...
Sorry to hear about your job, hope it all works out for you |

Consider it this way; you were given little or no notice that the company was closing and you will receive no severance benefits once the job is over. Why do you feel you owe it to the company to stay on through the busy holiday season?
Unless you plan on using them as a reference I'd give it up, stay home and enjoy your family during the holidays, then find another job after the first of the year. |

It must be hectic today cos they announced the closing down sale on the news. I cant see why people are being rude they are getting good bargains. I would stick it out but still look for another job as best you can. You still get a little bit of money from it even if it isnt really worth it. If you needed something quick catering agencies do well at this time of year with parties and everything . |

Hi. If you really don't like it then just quit and enjoy the holidays. If you are confident that you can land another job, cut your losses. Your co-workers will understand. But you if really need the money, then stick it out. You should, take a step back from all of this and weigh out the pros and cons of the job. when you have done that, you will have your answer to your dilemma. I have been there before and in my case I cut my losses. But that's me. So just think it over and go with what you feel is right for you. |

Wow Woolsworth's was one of my first jobs. lol I didn't think they were around. Well it is better to have a job in place before leaving one. But, If you need to leave for peace of mind then go for it. |

the chances are that your store is going to be taken over by another store so you might be able to get a job with, id stick with it to be honest... you might even end up getting a better wage.
hope this helped, good luck =D |

4 hours a week on near minimum wage, primary bread winner.
your best of claiming your full JSA.
I would imagine that it would be unlikely to find a christmas job at this late a stage in the christmas period- sign up with an employment agency. |

Talk to your management first and ask them to take steps to make your working environment during the crisis more pleasant, if they can't be seen to do this then quit. Otherwise you can't quit and expect it to look reasonable to a future employer or get a reference. |

It sucks but i think youre best just getting on with it, if you know when youre closing down then you might as well wait until you find another job anyway, but keep looking for work, redundancy has got to be really annoying since its not your fault.. |

If you hate it that much, you don't really need the wages and you are going to be leaving soon anyway personally I would just leave now as it really doesn't seem worth the hassle! |

If you don't need the money, quit. It's not worth to spend your days in a job you hate. You can always remain in contact socially with your co-workers. If you think you want to keep that meager income before Christmas, put your application in at other places and don't quit that job before you have another to go to. |

Leave if your that unhappy, although i have to say i have found some of the staff in wollies not at all helpfull at times. |

don't worry about ur colleagues. Worry about your happiness and financial stability. If you're unhappy about it, just look around for a job that you'd enjoy more.
if you get minimum wage, maybe you should consider trying to get certified in something while you're at home. This way, you can get a job in something else.
get certified to be a lifeguard.
Get a government job.
have someone in your household start working to help out. |
