Head counts also include Full and part time,,
So how many full time jobs have been cut to be made up with part time  jobs ?
In another words , how many depend on benefits due to going from full time , to part time ?

[Nomad]

Agree, head count is an erroneous figure if trying to gauge (un)employment level, man-hours (or woman) is a better indicator.

[grim up north]

Good point. If you read Silver Rob's link, average employees is up this year compared to last, but average full time equivalent employees is down. Suggests more staff on part time contracts.

Due to the loss of FT and PT staff on nights our store is a mess. The managers think they are getting less people to complete the same amount of aisles. The reality is items are in wrong place and there is no standard.

Was a bad briefing by a manager,  yes,  this is Head Office. Now says 25% of that area, not as a whole..
So 1,100 from Cardiff, now 1,200 in the UK and India.

Dave Lewis, in his recent message is saying that Tesco is still too complex, and that we have a high degree of duplication.  They have been working on a new 'service model', to simplify the business, and there will be 'role reductions' in different areas.  There will be difficult weeks ahead, we've been warned.

Any ideas what the 'service model' is, and what the role reductions will be?

[terra]

Not difficult for him, just the colleagues waiting to find out if their job is going

Where is David1?

[OpShunned]

In the pub getting p**sed with the other 1199 

He also said operating costs were still too high..

Expect a lot more cuts.

He is getting rid of people and buildings.

No-one is safe as we are discovring.

[Slave64]

As well as all these people loosing their jobs, because optician's are being shafted to vision express, the supplier galaxy who makes the glasses are no longer needed so all the staff there will suffer too so more people loosing jobs.👹

[Northernstorelad07]

Well with PMs and compliance I thought he would get rid csms ? When he puts in other company's won't need lead GM or some gm managers either

Is that 25% of store staff too?? Christ,  large hours contracts will get it fir sire if that is true.

[Drivingmissdazycrazy]

Has anyone heard anything about the combined/direct desks going in the north west?? We have been told they are going but waiting every day for a date??
Does anyone know if redundancy will be an option? 😣😣😣 stressing 😣😣😣😣

[fruitdogs]

A Store in Liverpool has lost the Direct Desk. The staff were offered redundancy. Jobs for some were found in store.

If Dave Lewis is looking at duplication, he needs to start at the very top, with his exec board and distribution leadership team,  retail leadership team, stream directors etc , I can see lots duplication in the roles they perform

[Hammer10]

Yes you are right, why do we need a bunch of store directors who are as much use as a chocolate fire guard, when if the store managers are doing their job right then they should not be told if they are good or c**p in many cases.  Now if they are c**p it should be drastic sacking them as he is the one in charge cutting the sds out would save a lot more than a few GAs .

[londoner83]

It's not just the SD's that need to go but the whole regional teams. If managers in store are paid to manage and are responsible for their store/dept  why do they need a group team as well.

ST should also go and approx 50% of team managers. If you look at stores on a Sunday you will see very little management on a busy day.....

Thanks I've since found out a few other stores are looking at  Oct/November to close the help desk.
