Double Time on Sunday... uh oh

[claden]

What's the idea of the one to one? They'll have made a decision so what's the point. Will we have to sign something to say we'll accept the change in our conditions ?

[Expressdude2016]

No you don't sign anything at 1-1. Its basically prepared brief with individual letter for you confirming X amount. Everyone will receive new terms and conditions to sign in July.

[claden]

What happens if we don't sign?

[Morris999]

Then if you continue to work, it's seen as you have automatically accepted the new terms!
now as the partnership has taken away the right to strike, your only other option is to go off sick in protest, but you will just be managed out the business through either SYA or misconduct depending on the reason you give!

[Expressdude2016]

Nothing as the pay deal was agreed via partnership agreement then its automatic agreed you have accepted the new terms and conditions of employment.

[claden]

Thanks that's what I feared. People will get such a shock when they get their letters. They will be going nuts but they've left it too late now with their innertia.

[Morris999]

From what I've heard the average 4 wkly lose is going to be around £30.
Now obviously there are going to be colleagues at the far end of the scale losing a lot more.

[claden]

I know 4 people who will be losing £100+ after including the pay increase. Some people haven't even attempted to work it out.

[SJS8]

I will be losing £120 a month. But I am still fighting it, there hasn't been a decision yet on what is happening in Ireland with resent negotiations. There are other ways of being heard without striking. Imagine hundreds of back to work interviews throughout the Tesco stores on the same weekend.

[Expressdude2016]

SJS8  although you may be still fighting it your efforts will come to nothing. The board will not change there mind and even if you refuse to sign new terms and conditions you are bound by them due to the collective partnership agreement. Uk and Ireland differ in the way they operate, I don't think they work using partnership and its obvious there union is a union unlike USDAW who aren't even talk just yes men

Great to see constructive criticism over something that no one else gives a s**t about.

How about, They're over there wearing their socks?

[claden]

Apparently the night lead in my store told other colleagues that the meetings would take place in July?

[Morris999]

Well as Nights seem to do what they want when they want that does not surprise me in the slightest!
But letters will start to arrive from Thursday and then managers have 3 weeks to complete all meetings!

I thought the letters were posted out on Friday? That's what my pm told me?

[Morris999]

Letters arrive instore on Thursday, via backdoor! Maybe your PM wants the day to find them and go through them first!

[Loki]

Shove them up their backdoor. 😡😡😡

[claden]

Why are they going to the store? She told me they were being sent to people's home addresses? What the hell is going on, they are showing exactly how much they really don't give a s***.

[Equalizer87]

It's all a major duck up. The restructure, the new pay deal, everything.

[claden]

Apparently my PM is on holiday this week according to her email reply.

[Expressdude2016]

Hi Claden they have a 3 week window to do briefs they don't have to start them this week I'm afraid.What they have said is Team Mangers can do the 1-1s but if its a large amount a person is losing then PM or Sm should do those 1-1s.

[claden]

Express dude 2016 thanks for the reply do you know if letters are being sent to home addresses?

[Bluelucy]

I am losing €160 a month before tax etc have just been told today our 1 to 1s start thursday but managers pay review is embargoed for 2 more weeks so why is this thoughts would be appreciated

[Expressdude2016]

no claden, there going to store.

Bluelucy  there's nothing untoward with mangers pay not being announced.  Its normally within last 2 weeks of June.  I'm led to believe now there is no changes to premiums for managers and green performers are getting around 1.5 and 1% for amber.  Reason it's left so late is because every manager gets individual letter as everyone is on different salaries.  You may ask why the double time stays, I'm not sure but across the board the % of managers who get this is relatively low and in convenience managers don't get premiums anyway.
