If there is a no deal Brexit which apparently will threaten the economy in the UK, then this will be the excuse Tesco's will use for any future structure changes should they happen.
I think the people who don't like the reality of working in retail should go. I really don't understand how anyone can get away with not working weekends. It is the busiest time of the week and added pressure on the colleague who are working due to shifts not being filled. I also remember when the Extra I worked in opened Boxing Day for the first time. Colleagues made such a fuss about working, I do agree with that by the way, but the colleagues who made the fuss and refused to work were the ones in shopping. If you don't agree with the store being open Boxing Day you should not be shopping. I tend to think the same about weekends. If you are able to get away without working you should not then be shopping. If weekends are for family time, spend e time with your families and don't come shopping.

If you are able to get away without working you should not then be shopping. If weekends are for family time, spend e time with your families and don't come shopping.First off I don't work weekends, that is what was arranged in the last RHRP....our department was over at weekends due to colleagues contracted to weekends to fit into their family committments....unsure on how my not working a weekend is putting pressure on other colleagues as shifts are not being filled?? Surely overtime is still voluntary and not compulsory, if shifts aren't filled then the department is either running under hours, or not giving overtime to cover long term sick or holidays, as should be the case. My weekends are to do with as I please....as is Boxing Day....I too refuse to work, and if everyone refused then they couldn't open the stores....but there's always those that have tunnel vision and don't see how it erodes their future contracts, as at this moment in time everyone's contract states that NO colleagues have to work Xmas day, Boxing Day or New Year's Day, that also includes the flexi contract colleagues. So if, by your logic, people who have weekends off shouldn't be shopping, then there would be no need to open stores at weekends would there Sunday's are now deemed to be the busiest trading day, and yet they have only one manager running the show, and less colleagues in?? Perhaps something to do with paying the time and a quarter premium...which is why that has been eroded in the last few years

Nomad.It's never fact until consultation starts, can only be speculation until then. I have learned of my job going on here in advance of it actually happening. Was only speculation but gave me time to plan and think.

There is a massive difference between a pilot going on somewhere else in the country (TLs, PMs Compliance) and someone from that pilot area reporting on it, to people just making stuff up.If you didn't go for that mortgage on the basis that someone had made up a rumour and put it on here, you'd be right to feel aggrieved.I let people know about the PM, CM and CEM changes because it was actually happening and I wanted to give people time to plan their lives.
