Crikey Website - Tension below the surface at Coles Myer Coles Myer management's plans to merge the buying teams in the Coles and Bi-Lo supermarket are just the start of a far-reaching set of changes in the company's most important division that are damaging staff morale and causing an enormous rise in stress levels for harried executives and staff. Coles management is intent of boosting every cent of extra profit they can get from the higher traffic levels flowing from the petrol offer. The idea years ago behind buying Bi Lo (which was an Adelaide-based low cost supermarket chain) was to stop Woolworths getting it, and then to sit it under the price level of Coles Supermarkets to take on the then strong Franklins chain which was operating on a gross margin of less than 3c. www.crikey.com.au /articles/2004/09/12-0001.html   (1467 words)
