8-20 and 9-21 in our store.
Dont know about the others.
thats from a usual  8-18     and 18-22 a different driver
and a               9-19     and 19-23 a different driver

Usually its full timers on the day shift and students on the evening

It's not really a bonus is it!
It's basically the difference in what they've saved by not giving us the pay increase before April,
The way I see it, is it's back dated pay, but they call it a bonus... as it makes the company look good!

Completely agree, I would happily pay subs to keep it gojng

Agree. It would be good if someone took it over....I wouldn't be adverse to the subs increasing if that helped save the site.

I am sad it is closing. It would be great if someone could keep it running.

Go into Tesco Help, all the info is there for colleagues to see. It states on a flowchart that Store manager is to investigate failed Think 25 and the investigation should be completed in 14 days. The guidance for managers was updated Feb'23 even though the front cover states 2022.

Well meeting resulted in a first written for the employee, store manager pushed through that unattended does need clarification which he will seek, but says hes spoken to relevant depts within tesco who stated to him that employee would have to be "within the area of the van" whatever that means, i think its definitely a case worth appealing but thats now up to the employee, letter states reason for warning as leaving the van unattended whilst idling the van, with shutters open whilst Again ignoring the fact that their wording is far too loose and should not expect the employee to know that this is "their" interpretation, admits basically that its unclear but still issues warning for the 3 items listed on the warning letter.
And also confirming that we can idle to keep warm if wel lock the van when we exit it, so the idling row the employee got is now pretty much moot point but still on the letter.

Im sure too i seen something in the training one time (a video) showing employees taking shopping to customers cars and not being right at the van either so how can that be right its contradictory

@lucgeo, they would have that explained in the meeting.
It would be either another store manager or SD depending on what the outcome was.
Either way it would be explained in the outcome letter they receive after the meeting.
@dfl. No the HO colleague should not be informed of the outcome as once they have made the initial complaint etc all that would be maybe required of them is a witness statement or further interview meeting.
Either way they should not be informed of the outcome.
The managers personal opinion spoken after the note taker has left the room unfortunately shouldn't interfere with the outcome, unless they say something along the lines of they are being made to do against company policy, but if they are not prepared to back that up then it would be your word against there's.

My apologies, I assumed you were working in a small express not an extra!!!

I can't believe how Tesco has been allowed to drop so many standards, having poorly paid team leaders take the responsibility of a store whilst the senior team are still in their comfy well paid position.


N*B* (courtesy of oldfashionedplayer) If you've no experience with it, or not fully capable etc then you should NOT be doing it and should be raising it as an issue to be worked on with training as above stated its a Duty of care etc and they will definitely throw you under the bus at any opportunity.

Fully validated and competent to complete duty
coverage including opening and closing the store
across the trading week/being a key holder.

So if you've been validated but finding it too much to deal with, then express your concerns and ask for support. If both of you feel the same, then both ask for support.

I have to ask though...why are any team leaders accepting these roles?? It's a total p**s take and you'd be better thought of in the discounters.

It was not much better back in the day if truth be told, we all know the tales of people being given made up job roles like "hot prospects" and having to cover duty, run nights, be keyholder over Christmas, do anything a manager ordered them to do etc etc, all for no extra money until it all either got to much or something went wrong, then senior team and the SM would chuck the poor sod under the nearest bus, shift leaders get a bit extra money but the same treatment by the sounds of it. The more things change the more they stay the same as the old saying goes.

I don't get why they take the role either, our managers complaining atm too that the pay between staff and management is too close and say they deserve far more than us, they picked the role... The weren't forced into it 

If the roles are that similar may aswell just drop back down? No?
