She had to resign to chase a constructive  unfair dimissal case . Not everyone can afford to do that .
Reality is you fight to get the best outcome for you and your circumstances, if you can afford to leave/be sacked and take it further , then great  but if you can't and they are telling you it's not a redundancy situation then just try to fight to get the best hours/department that suit you .

I believe it is the case recently that it doesn't cost anything to take your employer to court, this was after backlash that justice shouldn't be out of reach to those that can't afford it. Usually it's the case nowadays that the employer fronts the legal costs if they lose the case.

Though yes, not being in paid employment while chasing this isn't something everyone can do.

I have a question. So when they did dual site managers a few years ago and decided not to carry on with it but kept the ones they did in place. Does that help them with what they are trying to do now ?

It’s not to be enforced. If you can and do move, that’s it done with. If you refuse an offered job that job does not hang in balance waiting for you. It’s offered to others. If you refuse jobs it’s all documented but it’s still not forced. You stay in hours/job you have. Beyond that there are a load of if’s and but’s. It could eventually go to redundancy but then only if jobs you have refused have been deemed as unsuitable. Long way from that though.

 Manager been pulled into meeting at this morning been told brief is coming tomorrow
team supports are being moved to service team support and will deal with checkouts, CSD kiosk and PFS

Nighthawk

As I said previously, massive structural change has happened, all stores will be communicated with in the morning, as said in previous post, team support is back in all areas, reductions in senior and team managers.
I did say it would happen end of January, only 4 weeks out

Meh. As long as it's just managers and not real workers, who cares? :)

Yeah who cares that managers lose their job in the middle of a pandemic and may struggle to then pay their mortgage or feed their kids. What a tosser.

Well done nighthawk. I totally agreed with you back at the beginning of jan.  I would imagine that nights will get a wee visit tonight or one early tomorrow morning.
Days will be tomorrow.

It was always a question of when rather than if, a lot of us seen this coming for a good few years now.

I've been let down too many times by managers to give a toss about them or their families. So if you listen really closely, you might just be able to make out me playing the world's smallest violin for them. 8-)

After 42 years in the business,  feel like my heart has been ripped out, feel like more workload added, and no way of raising any concerns. Feel like the union have just accepted the change as well, without any consideration on the impact
The company is on a very slippery slope and spiralling out of control. Cut, cut, seems to be the norm now, and never mind the employees,
Very disappointing day

So because a couple of managers have let you down over the years, they all deserve to be jobless? What a delightful chap.

You'll get used to him and his ReAL WoRKeR drivel.

Team 5 briefing;

Also shift leaders and service team support introduced.

Can I remind members if they find a post distasteful and/or offensive use the "Report to moderator" link, bottom right of every post.  A reaction is what they desire, don't do it.

If mods or admin agree with your report the post can be deleted, however if you reply and/or quote it then in order to maintain 'post flow' we would have to edit/delete your reply.

I would also remind members that admins/mods can ban members either temporary or permanently if they do not post in the spirit of VLH (seek help, give help).

[admin]Thank you[/admin]

What exactly is happening with this structure change? Are people losing their jobs? Does anyone have any info?

Just like the bakers last year Tosco couldn’t care less

Out of interest, are they planning on announcing it publicly, or they going to leave people in the dark as usual?  ???

I imagine if it makes headlines (Tesco to cut x number of jobs), similarly to how the Asda cuts have, then they'll have no choice but to update everyone ASAP.

It’s time to consider balloting for strike action.  We need to show everyone that us Tesco shelf fillers are not worthless.  We like our jobs. We want to be treated with respect and dignity.

Ballot for strike action. Talk to your reps.

beentheredoneit

changes in management structure in all superstores and extras.
everything is store - dependant so wait for info from sm.
definitely no redundancies.
as this is all 'soft touch', there is no compulsion.

What is it you are upset about? Is your role affected?  Have you not been briefed?  Colleagues on here said they were asked to go in off days off to be briefed and now have the information.

Go and take another tea break - sorry, "meeting". I'm sure you've only had half a dozen today. ;)

Meh. The only thing I need a manager for is to approve my holiday requests. This won't make any real difference to my day to day job. To use the American phrase, this is a Nothing-Burger.
