It will be what it'll be. No sense in thinking it will be good

if I had £1 for every time I heard "it is what it is" just lately I'd be able to give everyone on the shop floor a pay rise 🤣

Personally think whatever the SM will be briefed today will be leaked to media by tomorrow morning & then company will officially announce it Wednesday either way hope everyone gets what they hope for!

In my case hopefully redundancy as I'll rather leave with a payout than without as I'm leaving within the month

Just a thought...have you already given official notice you are leaving within the month 

No was waiting to see what happens this month hoping they move nights to twilights  if not will leave with nothing or try dropping my nights from 4 to 1

They should of got alan sugar to do zoom call,would all be over by now,and on to next task

Comms is down, managers and USDAW reps at 12, brief colleagues in impacted departments at 1.

9am tomorrow all other colleagues brief

Changes to availability windows coming too

Scratch bakeries and counters going

All effected colleagues will be told today, either in person or via a phone call

This sounds bad.

So much for it being only managers.

Any news yet?

Surely somethings been leaked already 

Does anyone know if a pay rise will be mentioned today?

I'm sure all will be out by 12 after manager briefing

Stock & Wages/Admin affected? Still no comms for our store manager about a briefing 

Are we sure a briefing has happened?

saying that our non food manager and F&F shift leader just looked in deep conversation and the shift leader looked close to tears.

A briefing has definitely happened, I expect the store managers are currently going through what it looks like for their stores to brief their teams. Each store will be slightly different. We will all know our fates soon

Most lead and lines going. Huge investment in SL hours. Most departments losing hours through simplification processes.

All store managers went on a call at 9am, if they didn't go on this they won't know!

If you take less than 500k a week expect to run with two TMs, one dot com manager and no leads. 136 hours of SL.

RELIABLE SOURCE LEAD NIGHT AND LEAD .COM BEING OFFERED ALTERNATE OPTIONS NO REDUNDANCY .....MORE TO FOLLOW

How is that going to happen if most lead and line managers go, surely redundancy?

Reductions in management teams, with redundancies available. Lead Team gone in SS. New, really expanded, roles for remaining managers. Some stores keeping nights but going down to 1 manager and 3 shift leaders. Additional shift leads for days as well.
There are changes to PFS, bakeries, DotCom, counters and so on but all very store specific.
The key takeaway is that this time people will be offered redundancies. Consultations start on 06.02 with redundancy figures available from 13.02 and any potential leavers will work until 29.04

Still nothing confirmed.

SMS locked in offices all around I'm sure. Will post the details once I'm briefed
