Recruitment staff accused of threatening ski resort workers during wild weekend on Mt Buller

DRUNK workers from a high-end recruitment firm have terrorised staff at a popular ski resort in Melbourne’s alpine region.

A Mt Buller ski resort worker says she was woken and threatened by partying recruitment workers.

DRUNK workers from a high-end recruitment firm have terrorised staff at a popular ski resort in Melbourne’s alpine region.

Reindeer Ski Club manager Stephanie Sparrow said several Michael Page workers became aggressive during a weekend getaway at the Mt Buller resort.

Ms Sparrow, who shared her frustration on Facebook, called police after two men threatened to kick her door down and kick her in the head.

“What should have been a weekend to be enjoyed by everyone, quickly devolved into a chaotic scene,” she wrote in a letter addressed to Michael Page online.

More than 20 Michael Page workers are believed to have been involved in the incident, which unfolded last Friday night.

“On Saturday morning we woke to a lodge that appeared to have been home to the biggest party of the season,” she said.

“Rubbish covered the floors, food lined the benches and broken glass was slithered everywhere.”

The carnage continued on Saturday night — leading Ms Sparrow and her father Rob to call the police.

“We were woken four times, each time by vicious banging on our bedroom door. The fourth time, after we had told them we could not fix (a power outage), we did not open our door,” she said.

“At this point two male staff members threatened to kick down the door and kick in our heads.”

Victoria Police spokeswoman Leonie Johnson said police had been called to the ski lodge for unruly guests, but no further action was taken.
“Police attended a short time later and spoke to the complainant who advised that the guests had settled down. There was no further police action required,” she said.

Ms Sparrow said she feared the return of Michael Page workers to the resort.

Michael Page said it was disturbed by the allegations.

“Michael Page holds all its employees to the highest level of ethical behaviour, whether

they are officially representing our company or not,” a spokeswoman said.

“We are extremely upset about the behaviour of some of our employees and make no excuses for their actions.”

The spokeswoman said the company had been in touch with the ski resort and apologised.

They also said the trip was not company funded or sanctioned.

“We are undertaking a thorough investigation into the matter and will make sure that all the individuals involved are interviewed and the appropriate disciplinary action will be taken. ”
