That would be the announcement that was talked about being made today.

It's not redundancy is it?

[belfast driver]

Yes grim up North it is voluntary redundancy. Warehouse and clerical only. Drivers and site services are excluded from this offer but I'd say it's only a matter of time before the drivers are made an offer.

[grim up north]

Are you certain it's not something else other than redundancy?

[belfast driver]

What else would it be lol? The legacy contract buy out was offered last year and only 1 warehouse worker accepted it as he was already accepted for warehouse to wheels.

[grim up north]

Voluntary Severance pay. Which is different. At my DC they are offering voluntary severance so if others are getting redundancy, people need to know as there is a difference between the two

Anyone heard anything about fulfilment shift leaders going in large format?

Anyone heard anything about fulfilment shift leaders going in large format?

Normally it is based on the number of vans & sales you have in store, they already got rid of the Driving Team Support role during the last change a few years ago, I doubt very much they will get rid of this role as most Dotcoms would be screwed without them. So if you are hearing rumours of the job going, maybe your store is scheduled to be downsized.

I know post code moves are currently taking place. I think there is gonna be merging going of smaller dotcoms into the larger ones. Does not make sense to have 2 dotcoms less than 5 miles apart with 2 very different sizes.
