I've been also made redundant and my self and others instore did not see anyone in the union with regards redundancy we had a redundancy manager who came into store and spoke to everybody who was made redundant.. as from layout changes there's 4 big Tescos in my area they are all having refits refurbs ... but I hate to say it the chances of you getting redundancy are slim to none I'm back with the company  and with deli counters being removed in my store there was a fair few and not one got redundancy they were spread across store

I wouldn't say they are slim to none. My store was a former metro now Express. I gave been working at this store for many years. Before we use to recive 100 cages a night now we receive only 20 cages a night for fresh and 15 for grocery. They are going to have a reinvention soon. Abd it is confirmed by the union they are getting rid of night shift at the end of year tesco wants

How many cages is it? Walt Disney over here

100cages a night  in a metro lol how bigs the store  and it must be raking in the ££££££worked years in a metro  and it's downsized to a express.. when my old store was a metro it averaged 30 cages grocery / non food a day and same fresh produce ... I was made redundant when store format changed but being back in the company seeing people's departments like deli chicken counter closing not one member of staff got redundancy in my store they were all found jobs ...

It used to make around 2 to 3 million a month now it makes around 600m to 1 million a month. The difference is if they do remove nights from my store they will have to pay redundancy anyway. What you sre talking about is an extra store where there is no longer redundancy for the vast majority of people.

It depends upon your store.Are yours still having same delivery? In my store since becoming express we have massively less delivery than we did before. We use to recive minimum 3 fresh delivery a night and 1 grocery a night.Now we only get 1 fresh and one 1 grocery we use to get 60 cages for grocery a night on most busiest day now we only get no more than 36 nearly half as much.

1-3 million a month in an metro/express???,most superstores don't even take that,and most of them still have nights!

That was before in an extrmely busy location.Now we make between 600k to 1 million a month. The delivery has dramatically gone down since it has becsme an express and since covid

@bobmay sounds busy,i work in extra with dotcom and we only get 40-50 grocery a night,

That was before when we were an metro now a days we only get around 26 cages for nights for grocery and same amount for fresh.

I was told a few weeks ago that they've changed ordering system so items run down further - don't know about anyone else but it feels like it's working on some things, but not others?

It'll be S0d's Law they remove nights from my store next year - very likely I'll have found another job by then 

We have some extras that used to get multiple DD deliveries from our DC per day. Now the same stores barely get a standard trailer worth of stock

The ammount of backstock tesco used to carry was rediculous. One case and one unit fit of shower gel on the shelf yet 4 cases through the back. Its much better now and with the removal of a gap scan just ordering the stock.

makes you wonder what checkout staff will be filling,when they roll out those scan as you shop/self serve trolley multi tills to every store

Back in the day SD's "We are looking at stock reduction, we should not be holding loads of backstock"

Same SD's on every visit "Why the hell is this line out of stock, why, tell me now, why, how on earth can you tell me we have none out the back"

The poor sod walking round the SD "Stock reduction remember, and the new gap scan rules"

SD "Do not give me that back when I ran stores in the 80s and 90s this never happened once"

Job application forms I would think...   95% of the remaining checkout staff we have are the chronically obese. They are fast running out a job they can do.

Tesco in a nutshell. You can't solve problems using the same kind of thinking that created them.

If they dont remove nights completely they will do twilight if it is possible and it isn't busy

Tesco has made far less money this year than last year.This year they only made 1 billion in profit.50 less. So very soon expect job cuts to come. If the national minimum wage increase in April than it is certain Tesco will cut more jobs especially nights pharmacy workers and I predict phone shop.

Tesco have spent alot of money on new dot com vans, store refurbs and new lorries to show them as not making so much money as there is current public outcry at supermarket prices and resulting profit.

I hear next week night managers are taking part in a zoom call about nights. Our manager seem to think its about Christmas.

Anyone else heard anything?

Bakers must surely be on borrowed time, recent Comms about bakeries pushing the sweet side of things and how bread and rolls sales over the long term have been falling away,coupled with the rise in flour prices pushing inflation.

It's not surprising sales are dropping in bakeries you can't order anything on dot com now until after 1pm. I used to order every week on my morning slot but not been able to for nearly 3 years even though the baker is always in at 4am and everything is out on the shop floor before 6am 🤷🏻�♀️

Our bakery sales are up every week it's only going to get better with all the nice new lines that are coming next week .

From what we've been told through the grapevine from the Millers engineers - once the bakery machinery breaks and there's no parts available to repair it, a store's scratch bakery gets put to bake off. Our machinery is always breaking down so it can't be long now.

Millers have just lost their Morrisons bakery servicing contract too apparently?
