Job losses.

Wonder whats happening with regards to skilled pay for bakers?
Surely if they're still making scratch white products it must stay?

[BakerBum]

i imagine the pay will stay. as GA can't make scratch

losing scratch brown 62 hrs
No way does making brown products take 62hrs I reckon 7 hours a week to make brown products, if they are saying that three mixes a takes 8hrs each day then how long does it take to make all the  white dough, someone's trying to pull a fast one

What happens to bakers that their store is going all part bake.

Standard Tesco head office thinking. Add a routine or job "this job only take 2hrs a day"  take the same job away. "this will save 10hrs

There's now a message from Jason Tarry on OurTesco about it.

[wishicouldgo]

Amazing the email from Jason Terry arrived the very second sky a anounced it

Probably the other way round but someone at SKY was quick to type up a headline. Here we go again.

Bakery has been on the chopping board for a while. They’ve had it all planned since the changes last year and chose to make all these cuts over a longer period to soften the blow.

[trolleyboy96]

Is there a list of effected stores?

[BakerBum]

any advice what availability to put, to get redundancy ?

[Helpisontheway]

Bakery staff get ready for record numbers of Investigations, disciplinary meetings and store management will be trying to get you rise to the bait. Drastic Dave's last round of improvements. Customers will see through the smoke and mirrors all too soon.

[trolleyboy96]

On the availability we won’t know until the new heat map, guessing the info is contained in that.

[Jethro]

Just put what your doing now and hope for the best.

[Eliza]

I was in the last lot of redundancy I put exactly my hours and no movement, got redundancy There is life after and I don’t regret it Flexibility is what they want now

[Catch]

What counts as big store, ours got hit 6 months ago already...

[EpyonZero]

Worried about what to put on the availability form, we got told if we put we can only work full time and theres no full time jobs for us then we would lose our jobs so i dont know whether to put less hours in the hope of still taking another job.
So stressful.

[BoredBaker]

Sincerely hope all the people affected by this stick to their morals and refuse to do hours that suit managers and the high hegions. If you want redundancy be as unhelpful as you possibly can with them when you get your consultation. No hours more and no hours less than you are doing already. That’s what I’ll be doing. Another ridiculous decision from this company now run by clowns

If they are talking about removing 62 hours from our bakery that's more than 25% of our existing hours believe me brown products do not account 25% of our takings
Looking like anyone left behind will be working themselves to an early grave

62hours for brown mixes?! What a joke. Easily can be done within 2hours. 2hours a day x 7 = 14hours a week.

Packers will also be affected by this and bakery managers for what it's worth, it isn’t just skilled bakers

It will ask you the minimum number of hours and the maximum number of hours you are prepared to work on the flexibility form. Think about the minimum you would be able to afford to do if necessary before filling it in.

[Bakersdozen]

Bakerbum where did you get the specific 62 hours? As I was under the presumption they won't know what hours are looking like untill week 3.

With regards to the browns, it's not just production, it's baking them and packing them aswell which is more time. We understand that all hotplates are going too. ( what a waste of investment)

I hope they don't make too much cuts that leaves us to the bare bones because we do well on our sales but totally understand getting rid of brown production/pancakes. I think if they do you will lose customers elsewhere that prefer fresh products if you're sold out all the time.

M360 missed this one the post was bakery nothing happening

[smithers]

I think he/she said nothing happening this quarter (jan-feb-march)
