I got news for yah, it's not just Qantas. I've got some friends who work in the industry and they told me they purposely toss the shit out of bags just for the fun it, but also because they just having a bad day and take their anger out on the bags. They aren't paid enough and don't have time to treat every bag with care. That's what they told me. They literally don't give a shit about any bag.

It's very likely this job will be replaced entirely automated robots/machines in the near future. Probably just have a few guys to manage the machines all day.

This is worse than “not giving a shit” this is intentionally trying to harm, psychopath behavior.

Calm down. If you’ve never been this mad at work, you’ve never been forced to keep a low wage, unsatisfying job. It’s not cool behavior, but it’s not “psychopath” behavior either. These guys aren’t thinking about you, you egomaniac. These bags belong to the airline and probably all look like their immediate supervisor’s head to these guys

The bags don't belong to the airline, they belong to individual people who have nothing to do with the working conditions there. The fact that you think it's okay to take your anger out on people who have nothing to do with the issue says a lot about your personality (like the husband who has a bad day at work and then lashes out at his wife and kids).

Big stretch from “maybe there is a reason for this behavior” to me beating my wife. I encourage you to read a little deeper into the thread so you understand better what I was trying to say. I’ve never excused the behavior but only tried to shed some light on some larger issues.Or don’t it’s a Reddit comment thread 🤷
