How does one start a new topic these days ?

I wanted to post a link to Ken's obscene upcoming bonus payment.

Dot Com / Re: Click and collect van runn...
Last post by lucgeo - Today at 04:39PM
Yes as an accused, I had a letter placed in my file by my manager to retract the warning given...you can't take anything out of a file, but a letter can be added to withdraw the disciplinary given, stopping it being automatically escalated in future disciplinary actions.

As a rep, I had a final warning overturned on appeal.

Plan your appeal, write down and make bullet points. Keep it concise, giving your reasons as to why you want to appeal. Don't waffle, don't allow being spoken down to by the manager, don't be critical about the previous manager or investigation, just stick to the points you want to make.

Dot Com / Re: DotCom Shift Change Trials

Surprised it doesn't seem much longer than a normal shift? And probably an extra day or 2 off?
Each to their own like

4 freezers for one house? usually thats a very unhealthy household  :D

of our 10 vans on the trials most drivers are not happy with the longer days. the ones with kids hate it as they never see them.
And on their days off they are too tired to do anything.

Quote from: FarmerFred on 21-04-24, 01:16AMTobacco products will become mandatory ID on all sales - probably with a date prompt on the till screen, but it wouldn't surprise me if some of the big players ditch Tobacco sales altogether within a few years.
When one does they all will. They are just waiting for the first to go and the others will follow suit.

See also, newspapers.

I agree that this forum has the benefit of anonymity - well, of course, people could give things away if they weren't careful, but accounts aren't linked to a name.

What I do think is interesting is that the number of posts seems to have rocketed since it was announced that VLH was closing down / and that new topics could now be created by members.

Quote from: Scojor on 20-04-24, 09:01PMSo basically this "Bonus" is just to cover the month we are being paid under the Living Wage.

Yes role on the next reshuffle. And hopefully they will shuffle you and your type straight out the door.😂😂👍

Call me cynical but this is how it's looking.

Managers saying "they didn't get a bonus last year" need to realise no one did!

Once again the ones working hard to cover for bad management are under rewarded compared to the incompetent management team!

But in spite of all that let's rejoice at 1.5% when we are working for a month under minimum wage!
pretty much hit the nail on the head there there  yes it seems it's a token payment really nothing more if you're full time take half of you're bonus off to cover aprils underpayment then after tax what you going be getting 120 if that .. but yet when the results  and bonus were announced you had some managers or our Tesco actually complaining that they should get the 1.5% on top of there 5% it's laughable really then you got the bonuses what senior managers are getting which is scandalous but there u go ...  it's plain to see now general assistants store colleagues whatever are nothing but numbers nothing more or less and it's the general staff being pushed keeping stores ticking over .. ed them to tamanagers moaning about there salary no one ever forcke a salary paid job it was there own choice but yet they get thousands of pounds more for doing next to zero work when it's dumped on shift leaders and the departments assistants ..
:D  :D  :D  You You could say the same about CAs. Moaning about a job nobody forced them to take. Silly man. Think first before p0sting and Try posting more sensible next time.

But it's ok for managers to moan about a job no one forced them to take?!!
Amazing how much better things are going with less management, just a shame the best of a bax bunch were kept!
Role on the next reshuffle!
