Management Restructure?

[Arizonarugby]

How can they make managers redundant and advertise so soon for managers?

How are the podium people coping with the pressure of controlling the work stations?

You will probably hear very little from either of the pilot sites , it seems that they have all signed the official secret act!!!!!

I haven't even been told there wuz any help with writing CV's.  Where did you hear about the job centre - do t*sco arrange it if you ask? I haven't wrote a CV in years!!!!!

Its another let down from Tesco that they have not even made any effort to help those that are being made redundant , Not a work of help has been given to D/Ms since they got told 10 days ago  but that's Tesco..............

I haven't even been told there wuz any help with writing CV's.  Where did you hear about the job centre - do t*sco arrange it if you ask? I haven't wrote a CV in years!!!!!

It was on the list of frequently asked questions that were asked by the various depots at the consultation meetings, but if you ask your people manager they should be able to get you the answers.

To be honest it's a total joke, the press release says that they will be working with all the effected people to help than secure new jobs . This is a blatant lie, i asked if the company would support with CV and interview skills work shops and was told to go to Job Centre Plus .... in other words you've served us well for the past 25+ years now **** off

Unfortunately Tesco ask for companies ,and jobcentre plus and other agencies to come in to affected DCs etc ,but,it is down to those companies and Jobcentre plus if they choose to come in .

Don't expect any help from Tesco - easy to blame them for lack of support, but in all honesty what does anyone in Tesco know about CVs and interviews?  Most CA interviews are embarrassing - 5 minutes, tops!  PMs would probably rather you believe they were being unsupportive than admit their ignorance about CVs and interviews - most of them only got their jobs by sucking up to senior managers (it would be a laugh to watch them coaching a redundant colleague in that technique!)

It probably is best to ask for advice from the Job Centre.  They do have workshops for such things - although more usually for long-term unemployed, they may also support people who haven't had to look for a new job for a long while.  The best advice I can give with CVs is to break down your experience into skills (rather than just job titles) and include those acquired running a home, hobbies, etc.  It can be surprising just how much you have to offer a new employer.

[picktocube]

At the DC that I am at they held CV workshops (approx 2-3 hours) over the course of 3 weeks ,but this is not run by Tesco. Also as this DC is closing totally ,there were about 440 people being made redundant ,so a totally different situation to where there are 10-30 people. All Tesco can do is invite them and offer rooms,equipment etc.

Now the dust has settled and managers know if they are staying or going .....is it too much to ask for a decent pay rise (1st decent rise in years)if staying as the company has admitted your the cream of the crop in what you do.
Just a thought

[lachicaverde]

thank you for the advice Arizonarugby, Blutopia and Picktocube.  its hard to know where to start sometimes!

Thats for Convenience stores as she is director of convenience. Interesting email. Might be better to move this thread to stores forum

[Tesco gimp]

I'm in an extra and my store manager has had the same email

[kurious1234]

Even more interesting then

[Bleh]

I'm convenience not large format, might not be linked.

I hope that Dave Lewis or Matt Davis read this - Unbelievably , I've seen an email from our so called support manager / who supposedly is there to help and guide the at risk managers through the redundancy process ridiculing a manger (who was told he longer had a future at Tesco) because he had to go home upset.

Not much empathy or compassion at my depot !!!!

[Jonthebarsteward]

But this thread is in the distribution warehouse sub forum


There is no empathy towards the 'at risk managers. Shocking really when some have been with the company 28 years

[londoner83]

Any idea what this call tomorrow is about?

Exactly, it's so frustrating, and demoralising not being able to do anything about it. If I hadn't seen the email (shall we say) unofficial, I would report it to protector line - not that would do any good

[DewsterDog36]

It doesn't say who the email is for so as a deputy do i log on in SM absence 

And how many DM's will log on in silence and listen in  8-)o

She could be announcing
They are not going ahead with dropping DM roll
They are extending the consaltation  time.
They are going  to increase  the cushion payment

Or that they have purchased the Bugens stores that have or are shutting down.
That's all I can think they will say.
UNLESS someone has got the chop

I'm in an Extra store and my store manager has been told to attend a call at 8.30am tomorrow morning, seems every store manager and express shop in the country is to be on the calls, this has caused all sorts of rumours to start circulating as to what is actually going to be announced tomorrow morning.

[notsofunny]

email never said it was for only SMs  and all stores got same email  believe it could be to do with the financial scandal and they have decided what is happening....
