Lads have you ever heard the likes of it? This shite needs to be regulated

  13. I like the way they listed ‘Paid Holidays’ like it’s a perk and not a legal requirement. Full training also seems like an odd thing to list. Like what’s the other option? They half train and you fuck up their business?

  16. People on Reddit: can’t believe they only pay minimum wage. They should pay more.

    Other people on Reddit: can’t believe food is getting more expensive. They should charge less.

  17. I’d be tempted to post them a dictionary. HR and Marketing must have had a few wines and an orgasm writing this. I’ve got no issue with a minimum wage job but to call it competitive and give themselves a round of applause for providing training (HACCP is a legal requirement) and paid holidays (also a legal requirement) is embarrassing. Stop trying to dress a job at Domino’s up like a winning lottery ticket to lifelong prosperity.

  19. Its competitive in that these companies are competing with each other to pay people as little as possible.

  23. I got offered a job caring for adults with disability & severe challenging behaviour in residential care so includes weekend , night shifts etc etc.. 12 fucking euro an hour.
    There was no pay advertised but it said “competitive pay” like that.

  26. I work at an accounting firm and we have a lot of (very well known) pub and restaurant clients. I have attended meetings with owners and they absolutely and utterly detest their workforce. They would genuinely not pay them if the law allowed it.

    There was one very well known chain of pubs in Dublin where staff eventually took a stand as many of them realised they were being underpaid and also not getting holiday pay. The owner had a right laugh about refusing to meet the shop steward of the union they were in and said “what are they going to do, take me to the WRC”.

    He genuinely didn’t care less. If the staff quit, he’ll just find another bunch of students and foreigners who don’t know any better and rinse and repeat ad infinitum.

    Somewhere along the line, the hospitality industry here went to shite and hasn’t recovered since. Its one of the many parts of Irish society that gradually seems to be becoming more like our transatlantic neighbours’ than Europe.

  27. My problem is when they make you fill out page after page about what [cafe or takeaway chain] “means to you” for a minimum wage job. Like not only are they blatantly proposing to exploit your labor, they’re pissing in your face and expecting you to thank them while they do it.

  28. I worked as a kitchen porter for 7 months and I only got raises when the minimum wage ease increased. Went from €10.20 to €10.40 an hour.

  29. If the company was honest and said “shit pay starting at €10.50” I’d be more inclined to apply

  31. I googled competitive pay recently because everyone who puts it in an ad seems to want to pay way below industry standard. Even though it sounds like a good thing, apparently it’s a well known phrase employers use when they’re paying poorly.

  32. Free training! Sign me up in sick of pesky employers charging me to tell me how to do the job and where the toilet is

  34. This is from the same industry that claims to be unable to find people to work right? Wonder why? /s obviously

  35. It’s a regular thing in the states. Competitive wages always mean low pay in job offerings. It’s a competition to see how little they can get away with not paying you.

  40. Salary being posted on jobs will be the norm soon thank fuck. I’m so suck of listening to these managing directors getting high off smelling their own farts.

  42. Calling minimum wage competitive is one thing but claiming to be the number one pizza company in the world is a step too far! Garbage pizza that only sells because their
    deals are so good sometimes it’s hard not to order when you’ve got a violent hangover! Hangovers keep them in business. I could think of 20 pizzerias in Dublin alone that are better and pizza in Ireland is of a shite standard in general!

    Any discount codes?

  44. An old college housemate worked for Domino’s. This “full time job” paid her €6 an hour for 10 hours a week. No idea how they got away with it. Some loophole or something as a “trainee” employee (for a year she was “trainee”)

    But it was not a large town and she was a college student so jobs were near impossible to find and she couldn’t get dole so she had to live on €60 a week. Thank god our rent was so cheap and she had a student grant during the college months and savings during the summer.

    He also used to watch her on camera and would call her to give out. Domino’s is NOT a good place to work. None of my friends who worked there liked it. My friend is an extreme example, but I have never heard a good story about working for Domino’s.
