Due to effects on the sports clubs. Schools and now cafes having to close our business is crippled with lack of orders and staff are being stood down or laid off in groups . Atm its only a matter of time 2-5 weeks before if things continue to be stagnant that as an apprentice pastry chef / baker . I will also be stood down in the second round of lay offs .

Everyones shifts have changed to remove penalty rates and no overtime as a way for the company to try and save money and keep people in a job .. as of now earning $1000 a week is impossible and we will be lucky to clear $700 before tax meaning i will be earning less than those on centerlink ..
