Nothing to do with this thread but is ourtesco down or is it just me?

Yes it is probably going to p**s us off with more BS.

Sums up the majority at Tesco griping like f*** yet can't be arsed putting any effort into getting a new job. Why :question: because other employers wouldn't accept them doing f*** all and the conduct they display on a daily basis. Those at the top are too busy creaming off minions and sh**ging each other off.

All you seem to do is moan and abuse anyone and anything, If the search function was available it could be verified but I would put money on 99% of your posts being just vitriol and abuse.

For example in this 3 line reply you manage not only to abuse the CAs but also management, is there anyone anywhere that you dont have any animosity towards?

All of my post are the reality of Tesco and nothing more at no time did I ask you read this forum. I am tired of the endless moaning that is all. It is not worth moaning nothing will be done. If it is so bad just leave. Thanks though for your sweeping statements with no weighting.

"Sunday premium down to time and a quarter.", anybody or perhaps the subject is exhausted after 42 pages.

It's  clear reading the posts on this subject that employees on here are far from happy with the injustice and inequality of their pay rise being wholly or partially swallowed up by the latest reduction of their Sunday premium.  I've said my piece and I feel comforted and supported that I am not on my own and also that other people feel the same as me about how unjust the whole thing is.  I hope that down the line that something will get done and that we will be justly bought out of our contracts as I was when the premium was reduced from double time to time and a half therefore allowing us to enjoy the pay rises in full like our non Sunday working colleagues.

All you need to know after 42 pages is staff are p*ssed off because tesco seem to confuse a massive (£60 p/m for me) pay cut with a small pay rise and expect gratitude

I wouldn't care if there was 100 pages on this subject it just shows the strength of feeling at this terrible pay deal!!!!

Been working this morning...as usual nothing has been done by yesterday's twighlight shift..the place is an absolute midden and on a really busy day trading wise there is a Marie Celeste feel about the place staff wise. Pretty much sums up every Sunday at our store and the staff who have all suffered a pay cut have the usual Sunday fire fight on their hands...oh and as per usual no sign whatsoever of the SM or any Senior Team..when you think of the salaries those overpaid pr*cks are drawing it beggars belief. >:( >:( :(

I hope this isn't deemed off-topic but I feel like this thread has veered into the Leigh Day case a few times since it seems like maybe our only chance of remuneration... anyway I got this letter from them yesterday and I think it shows pretty clearly what a sneaky and underhanded company they know they're dealing with... (I hope this posts right, tried attaching but got errors and can't remember if we're allowed to post links) https://imgur.com/a/1CVQ2h7

In the busy stores the evening team should be looking for popular items and putting them out. Instead of this the night team go into an shop where the shelf's are empty.  My old place has lots of new faces when you go in few who are any use from what I hear.  Walked in at 6am and aisles were decked untouched by the night crew, backstock and top shelf's rammed.  Never bothered going down a few of the aisles full of cardboard a plastic strewn all over. Two senior team were standing with their two arms the one length at the front of the store. It looks like the SM wasn't due in this morning.

if you haven't been following this entire thread which is mostly about how badly they worded this whole pay review and you come to that defensive conclusion instead of like umm preemptive action, I don't know what to do for your head.

Off to sell my clothes this morning to gather what little amount of pennies this to get me over the line until pay-day.  I'm a single dad who works full-time for this shower of s***e.

My outgoings have gone up significantly while I'm 60 pound a month down.  I've worked for Tesco for 11 years, do the best I can, while people around me twiddle their thumbs and play about on the phones.  It was a struggle before the loss of premium now thanks to Lewis and the champagne Socialist lefty s*** at Usdaw, I'm relying on reduced food for my monthly shop and can't afford a  day or night out with my girlfriend or my daughter.

You've invested in my misery Matt Davies, not me.

I have followed not just the thread but much more in fact, probably more than I should do given what I an others have to contend with.
My question is defensive? The term used seemed speculative hence the ? So more of a question than a statement.

Obviously you think the speculative nature of the phrase is acceptable.

@ Duracell sorry if I misunderstood still don't quite know what you meant but I was a little highly strung over other things last night

Duracell

No need to apologise it was probably me that misunderstood . Now I have read the letter again, I see why the speculation is appropriate, although I think if T do try to defend themselves as Leigh Day speculate it will be a pretty weak defence and more of a stall tactic.

Leigh Day do seem to have a proactive approach though.

How awful for you, again I suggest an open letter to the newspapers.....

Dear USDAW

Please could you advise me as to whom I apply for sustenance payments?? I believe you provide these allowances to USDAW reps and other USDAW officials attending USDAW events, and the daily rate is approximately £15+ per day?? This payment is extra to their 3 meals plus coffee and cake breaks......not including their hotel room bill on average £80 per night!!

Then the regular award nights, attended by the same heirachy, all claiming expenses for their attendance, all taken from the coffers from the subs of its members.

I await your reply, however in the meantime, I will be in the food donation bank, trying to cope with the actual reduction in wage, YOU AGREED TO, to feed my family!!!

SHAME ON YOU ALL  :( :(
Live for today. Learn from yesterday.

What are the chances of reprisals though??

I actually received the princely sum of 2 pounds today for a binbag full of clothes plus a bag full of books. Some of which, i had kept since i was 10 years old. I'm 34 now. I felt ridiculous going into my local DWP office on Friday applying for Universal Credit knowing the chances of receiving anything are slim to none.

There must be thousands in the same boat as myself and i feel so sick and resentful that I'm keeping my head above water to work on dotcom, checkouts, backdoor, frozen, bws and grocery while Davies and Lewis are silent. I work Sundays because I need to, not because i want to.

Off the wire

Know exactly how it feels. Left because they kept reducing wages and expecting more of you etc. From Dave to your store managers they do not care about the entry level workers. As long as they get the massive annual bonus. Often drop into my store for milk and bread and all you hear of is good people leaving. Keep a watch on this forum hoping things will get better for the folks I know still employed but all you hear is c**k and bull.

Probably wrong place for this but USDAW don't give a monkeys about anyone..they live so far up daves arse they just can't see it, had the area organiser and her side kick nominated from stores in trying to recruit as our store is less than 35% uptake. Sat in the canteen existing members asked about Sunday's and why usdaw hadn't protected them, the answer back?? You will be better off in November and we did the best for you all, numerous staff got the same answer, tempers started to flare up and got to the point we had to ask her to leave as it wasn't  productive or particularly safe.

They don't understand, they are so far removed from stores they are no better than the board.

More along the lines of covering all bases,It is not a huge leap of faith to assume that Tesco would use a defence like that and as such they are correct in my opinion to ask what they do.

Surely even those on here who are of the opinion that DC work is of greater value can see that making sure a case is thoroughly prepared is of utmost importance.
