    I heard on tv today that Australia day being on a Thursday obviously meant that Friday was a normal work day. Well guess what, Toyota had 40% absent on the Friday!.. where does all this stop?

    Loyalty have to work both ways, perhaps the workers have learned by their mates in Holden that companies do not give a dam about them ?
    Just wonder how much absenteeism was among management..............

    Last time Australia Day was on a Thursday was in 2012. Perhaps you misheard the year?

    One of the companies I worked for told us to take the Monday before cup day off. Staff took annual leave Casuals and contractors weren't paid. The company saved heaps on the power bill.
