Hospitality Workers Struggle During Schoolies: A Surge in Sick DaysDuring the recent Schoolies celebrations, a significant rise in hospitality workers calling in sick hit businesses hard, particularly accommodation providers. Pubs, bars, cafes, and fast food staff also experienced a substantial increase in absences. This trend was attributed to fatigue, burnout, and the overwhelming volume of people during the event. The data reveals that the second week of Schoolies is the most costly for operators, causing significant disruption just as tourist demand peaks. This situation underscores the immense pressure on hospitality staff during major events and its impact on businesses and the visitor experience.
