Twiggy’s young recruits fired before they even join Fortescue family
For a boss so beloved that staff don’t feel the need to unionise, the job security Andrew Forrest offers on his energy transition projects is somewhat lacking.
Of Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest’s many personas – climate saviour, mining mogul, lethal humidity prophet – his standing as employer of the year is one of his less publicised.
His “troops” run up to him wanting selfies and “heart to hearts”. So happy is the FMG family, he says, there’s no need for unionism. However, the company’s UK-based offshoot, Fortescue Zero, seems to have missed the one team, one dream memo. Starting from the bottom up.
