JACKS TO CLOSE AND MORE JOBS GOING

[Potofgold]

Nikki have you been told you can take redundancy?

[BUY TESLA STOCK]

Pay day

[Anothernightie]

we are a non dot com extra. keeping nightshift except bws. no job losses

[BUY TESLA STOCK]

Is there a list of the stores moving to twilight? Can't be many night shifts left now.

[Ever ready]

We are losing half of our main bank tills shortly to have more self serve till installed so that'll mean less cashiers needed. I can imagine they'll all be card only as well so hours will be lost in the cash office as well.

[penguin]

The last store I worked in is having a load of main bank tills removed and more self service fitted, one of the staff still working there posted a rant about it all on facebook the other day ,a bit ill advised to post that sort of thing on his social media I just hope nobody reports him for it as we all know Tesco take a dim view of that kind of thing.

[dizzy_1]

Oh i remember when my store lost nights, I think the bosses thought everyone would jump to twilight fill. They got a shock when all but 3 of them took redundancy and left. They all got a good payout as well. It's been a mess ever since.

[Dkdiablo]

Just read that Tesco is expecting year end profit is going to be a modest £2.6 billion. Obviously it's not enough.

[FarmerFred]

£2.6 billion is only around 4%... not exactly stellar performance

[lackofinterest]

£2.6 billion more than they deserve!!

Is the value of the stock the nightshift would have put on the shelf across stores until they had the great idea to scrap night work. 

[VladPutin]

No zombie shift means deliveries early morning rather than late evening. With all the carnage on the shop floor that entails. Aisles can be congested enough with three or four dot comedy trollies getting in everyone's way. Now imagine GA's trying to work and post sort a full wagon's worth on top of that. The stores will look like excrement and the availability - not just for dot comedy but for real customers - will crash and burn.

Still, that's head office for you.

[lackofinterest]

vlad, they'd probably miss

[londoner83]

Will distribution cope with having loads more day only delivery stores? There is far less traffic thru the night so deliveries are seldom delayed...good luck putting hundreds of extra trucks on our crowded motorways in daylight and expecting deliveries to take similar times.

[chris9997]

We have been told our store is to small to go from nights to day fill , this I find hard to believe as over the last 6 months huge amounts of stock have been left unworked some nights as deliveries have been very late, the next night we come in everything and the back stock has been worked, as others have said I think it is all about distribution and getting the delivery rearranged.

[Sherwoodforest]

Any dot com stores losing their night team?

[BUY TESLA STOCK]

They are doing the culls bit by bit so as not to put too much strain on distribution at once. It puts more staff on the shop floor during busy time giving a better service and keeping the place cleaner during the day. It will also reduce shrink and paying expensive night management and premiums. It's nothing to do with going the way of the discounters as others have said.  Many of the discounters have a night crew but are just not open to the public...

[Baba_G]

Wasn't the plan to have team leaders on nights and get done with managment or did i miss something now with the night shift cull? They are starting to get rid of nights crew even in dot com stores BWS in mine is the first to go to twilight . I already have a foot out the door so all the best to you that still belive in tesco bullsht i see the ship going down and i'm not waiting around to drown .

[Sherwoodforest]

Its about stream lining the business,henry ford did it,its nothing new,putting staff onto the shop floor during the day when needed for service,if there are any dot com stores losing there night team,that maybe a trial run for the rest of them,if more shopping goes onlinr maybe dot com hubs like london could be a rollout,

[Rumblerumble]

We are as well

They carry on like this they'll have no customers!

The back to back double checkouts they introduced are unfit for purpose on a big shop! With all the paraphernalia bags for sale stand, card reader, receipt box, all crammed into the packing area, there's no room to open even a single shopping bag to pack! When they do eventually remove the plastic shields, the chute is still less than half the width it used to be on the old single checkouts.
But then that's probably what they intend, rid the paying customers from being served by an operator, and push for self scan or self serve.

Other supermarkets who have installed self serve/scan checkouts , still have full size, manned checkouts!

[BUY TESLA STOCK]

Just scan every second item and remember to say hello to the guard on the way out.

We've gone way beyond 'stream lining', that ship has long since sailed. We hit the bottom of a dried up well some time ago and started digging to find water.

[Nomad]

Any person in line to be made redundant can try an alternative role, if they find it is unsuitable they can advice(in writing) their employee of that fact prior to the end of the trial period, and their redundancy is unaffected.

[lucgeo]

Forgive me for repeating this again but...
Anyone taking redundancy, can sign on at the job centre straight away, and are entitled to the basic job seekers allowance for 6 months, your redundancy payment is disregarded. It's around £75 p.w.
