Thanks m360 is it just a few hrs changing

mike360

Blackcat3, no change for bakeries in Q1. Can't guarantee nothing will happen later in the year.

All the other questions, if it's not listed then it's not impacting all stores in Q1

mike360

Those people wanting redundancy, Tesco have finally twigged that it costs a fortune and you lose loads of experience so they are looking to avoid where possible.

Will probably mean that a lot more people will be spoken to around move their hours/department

M360 when you say little change to PI can you explain how little

AudiTTman

Main areas I see are front end, team supports trollies and Desk's plus some PI and it's store specific

Funny how not getting redundancy is more depressing than getting it.

Today all managers had a communication that change of right hours needs to happen more quickly,  but then they couldn't tell us anymore...? Anyone have any idea what's going on....

So more changes to desk? Already very thin on hours, maybe closing earlier? Not long gone through rhp.

kaled78

the problem is most stores have managers with" favourites" who get left on cushy hours still,when everybody else gets mucked around with rhrp

CLEARERskies

The changes to the desk have already happened across most stores, the changes happening now are just the last 100 odd shops catching up to the rest of us.

There's more money to be saved in Supply Chain efficiencies, cutting costs by restructuring the floor level staff to this level gives marginal cost savings at best.

AudiTTman

No managers are affected, it's all to do with closing mainbanks earlier and using self serve more and the same in morning, open main bank later. Desk is going to be one manned by the looks of it 😱😱😱

SW2207

How are team support affected? What time will the main bank checkouts open and close?

penguin

Store specific as to what time main tills open and close
Do not let anyone tell you there is not a decent job and life beyond Tesco.

blablabla

Store specific as to what time main tills open and Close.
Does this mean that more SS tills will be introduced and cashiers will eventually become obsolete?
Makes good business sense and eventually every supermarket will be cashier less keeping the profit margins high and wage bill down.

Maybe cashiers need to diversify and learn a job that doesn't involve being fat and sitting down.

That tech is already here to run without cashiers and can be pretty easily brought into every store but the public are not ready for it.

Retail is a dying occupation could see years ago the counters were a big loss (and not just loss leading but bringing customers in)

Pi even in the Ski resorts of Europe the Spar shops all have electronic pos no need for time consuming changes of labels.

Filling the shop the tech is not there yet to retrofit into stores but a ground up custom build you could do it. That would require an overhaul of the entire distribution and manufacturing system to achieve. Picking dot com is a little bit on the way to this.

Impossible to single man desk all the time, we do for breaks then you end up with a queue of 15

Is IDQ not incorporated on the CSD??

Morrisons latest restructuring is concentrated on management, and like tesco, is likely extremely top heavy...what is interesting is that they are adding staff to the shop floor, in particular their "market street" branding section, i.e. ISB, fish and meat counters. Perhaps they are reading the market trends better? Customers are preferring less plastic packaging, moving away from the pre weight, pre packed sections, for healthier food and lifestyle options, individual choice on food weights purchased which, though initially may prove more expensive, it results in less food waste. Small bespoke high street shops are becoming very popular, especially the ones that cater in selling ingredients and daily household goods by weight, with customers re using their own containers. This was quite popular in the early 80's, before the big supermarkets arrived in most towns. Yet in some European countries, the large supermarkets have little pre packed in their produce and in their frozen food sections, it is still big bags and scoops for individual choice.
Live for today. Learn from yesterday.

What a stupid statement!  Your obviously such an arse manager that will hopefully be sacked and not lost through redundancy.
