Title: Spotting any changes to stores when they removed nights
Post by: Bobmay on 17-08-23, 03:11PM
I have a question for those who use to work in a store that no longer has night shift.When they removed your night were you told this by the union before the manager told you?  In my store the manager doesn't know what is happening with regards to night shift in the store.Instead the union has told him a few months ago they will removed nights by the end of this year. They are also changing the store layout and reduces some sections and doing other bits of renovation.

Nights were removed in my store years ago and no one from union said anything it was store and senior managers who did . 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

When nights were removed there was a gradual reduction in shelf ends at every aisle.We knew that we were getting the bullet and repeatedly asked the store manager about it and he denied it and told us to stop spreading scare stories That b#@strd was told months before and was planning for it increasing dayshift workforce and refusing to replace our staff that had left he tried to work us like dogs to get us to walk before we could get redundancy Luckily we had a good night shift manager who also sussed what was going to happen and wouldn't let him try it on with his staff some of whom he had worked with for over 10 years and fought our corner.The union knew well before also and did sweet fa except finally come in when we were getting our final paperwork and redundancy breakdown USDAW stands for Useless Seven Days A Week do not give them your money they are firmly in cahoots with Tesco. Don't listen to anybody who says you won't get redundancy it's all bol#£@ks if you are a nightshift worker and they decide to pull that shift then that is an unreasonable change of hours and contract therefore qualifying for redundancy it doesn't matter what Tesco say the law is the law.Also don't believe any store manager who says they don't know what is going to happen they are lying through their teeth they will laugh and joke with you to your face and the minute your backs turned sink the knife in.I know quite a few ex managers and one in particular showed me on his phone some of the messages from his store manager if the staff knew what was being said on WhatsApp they would be trashing their car before they clocked off at 3 o'clock for some fictitious meeting.

They definitely know what they're doing. Purposely winding down the night team slowly and painfully, working everyone to the bone, hoping you'll quit. But hold in there, that Golden Redundancy awaits you at some point.

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

Thanks for confirming. In my store it is one of the final ones that still has nightshift whilst being an express store.Ae were metro before and use to have 100 cages a night most nights now we only get 45 cages at most.I was told by my manager they don't  know about nights and that only the union told him that they want to remove night shift by end of the year. They are also renovating the store aswell.

We've not had any units for pasta in our store (yet) - think some of the changes taking place are to boost profits & try and attract some of the upmarket shoppers in 'premium' stores.

Hello I have a finally question which month did they announce they were removing nights from your store? And which month did it happen?
Title: Re: Spotting any changes to stores when they removed nights

Tesco stated they will be removing some branded items and instead will be bringing in their own label items.

Kaled78 We also have been told that wine and only wine is now back onto night fill.
Store manager has given some extra hours to nights for this.
However when there are any offers on wine day shift are to help out.
Cannot see that happening!

My store is getting refurbished different sections will be reduced etc.Has anyone who got redundancy saw the same thing happen to them? Before they removed nights they refurbished part of the store reduced sections etc?
Title: Re: Spotting any changes to stores when they removed nights
Post by: Duff McKagan on 03-09-23, 07:21PM
When was your store last refurbished? It could simply be that your store has come to the point where it needs a refresh. Having a store refurbished is in no way a sign that night shifts are coming to an end and shouldn't be taken in that way.

No the information on redundancies was leaked to the press before staff were informed by tesco or the union. Sometimes distribution will also be informed of changes before staff in store as they need time to make adjustments. But until you are told in person by your management you should treat all rumours as just that...rumours

We've had bread, frozen, H&B and beer back on nights since like 10 weeks after they said about it changing... Our heat map and hours etc are all still for days. When it was on days they had 5 people filling bread  ???

His office must have told him about the store nobody being their until 6. Secondly we are the only few store that still have them. We are an express store no longer a metro. It is only a matter of time.We are already getting 16.30 an hour on Saturday night shift.

Title: Re: Spotting any changes to stores when they removed nights
Post by: oldfashionedplayer on 28-09-23, 09:56PM
ours comes at about 9/10pm for a night store, sometimes 2-3am lol, just depends who's driving...

as for positions:

Temporary contracts must only be used for genuine short term resource needs (e.g. seasonal) or to cover family leave or lifestyle breaks or long-term sickness, as per the policy. They should not be extended beyond 12 weeks unless there is an exceptional reason

There's been quite a few comms about it over the months reminding stores of the process with it, since they have to let their area organiser know if it needs to go past 12 weeks and why they weren't kept on if they were let go when there was position etc..

One of the actual decent things to be honest from negotiations i guess for actual security of employment, just like new improved time off for maternity / adoption / loss / carer, though that bit a bit ontopic and off depending how you see it.

Yes they would inform him because he is delivering at around 2 am. Why wouldnt Tesco inform them that the nights were going soon. And their wont be anyone to let him in until 6am. At the end if the day the store is far less busy 3 times less delivery and has become very quiet as soon as it became an express store.The store use to make 3 million on sales a month now it makes less than 900k a month in sales. Plus since it is extremely expensive rent I dont see Tesco keeping nights at this express store.

Seriously, Bob you need to give it a rest! They deliver to Extras who have night fill in the mornings!  You will have to wait until you hear something the same as all the other Colleagues that there jobs are disappearing or changing, Wages, Admin, etc.  As I said you have decided your job is going so give it a rest as nobody knows on here but, just a heads up Xmas Temps Inc Nights have gone on and the Company steer is 50% of Temps to kept on Perm positions!

Bobmay I cant work out if your desperate for redundancy or scared stiff about it but as others have said your clutching at straws, several of the old Metro stores that became Express still have night shifts, if the company does decide to get rid of night fill in those shops, then a bloke delivering crispy creme with the greatest of respect to said person is not going to be informed before senior management, the union, the media and of course the staff themselves.

Yes they would inform him because he is delivering at around 2 am. Why wouldnt Tesco inform them that the nights were going soon. And their wont be anyone to let him in until 6am. At the end if the day the store is far less busy 3 times less delivery and has become very quiet as soon as it became an express store.The store use to make 3 million on sales a month now it makes less than 900k a month in sales. Plus since it is extremely expensive rent I dont see Tesco keeping nights at this express store.
Seriously, Bob you need to give it a rest! They deliver to Extras who have night fill in the mornings!  You will have to wait until you hear something the same as all the other Colleagues that there jobs are disappearing or changing, Wages, Admin, etc.  As I said you have decided your job is going so give it a rest as nobody knows on here but, just a heads up Xmas Temps Inc Nights have gone on and the Company steer is 50% of Temps to kept on Perm positions!
Wages admin if their contract is under colleague contract will simply change departments tesco a few years ago changed the contracts so they wont be giving redundancy out unless you work nights phone shop manager etc.

Bobmay I cant work out if your desperate for redundancy or scared stiff about it but as others have said your clutching at straws, several of the old Metro stores that became Express still have night shifts, if the company does decide to get rid of night fill in those shops, then a bloke delivering crispy creme with the greatest of respect to said person is not going to be informed before senior management, the union, the media and of course the staff themselves.
No I am not scared of redundancy I want it.It is the only reason why I still at tesco.Ad for metro stores that still have them the best majority 99% have removed them only a few remain. As for informing senior management if Tesco did inform them they wouldnt want to inform colleagues until it happens.If they did inform them early many of them would play around and not turn up for shift and simply call in sick.

We all get you want redundancy!  But, the company will want as many staff as possible to leave and get jobs else where! Or transfer to local Store's that have night's and the donut del guy would not know!  As I said we are Extra get ours delivered after 8am as they fill it themselves!  So nothing to do with nights!  But, can you now stop commenting on all threads and give somebody else a chance there are others that may loose their jobs or need advice! Wait until you or someone else hears some factual news eg not the donut guy!

Well your donut guys comes at 8 while other always comes at 2 or 3 so will be effected if nights is removed as they wont be anyone until 6. Whilst fir yours it makes no difference if they have nights or not. We will wait and see. What will happen but as I said tesco will cut so nothing either Sunday premiums or nights in the final express store

This was meant to be rolled out weeks ago im sure? The night management havent even trialled it in our store yet, probably another thing that won't work.

How does that work for full time colleagues who can't work the longer shifts that come with 4 nights instead of 5? I have no desire to do 9:30pm till 8am and I'm sure many will have commitments preventing them from doing these longer shifts. It will have to be voluntary surely.

Well some shift leaders were offered this contract however they rejected.It is voluntary and instead of 5 days you will do 4 days.You get the same pay only after 2 years does it reduce.

The night manager and night shift leaders in my store do a 4 day week 9:30 to 8am but not full time GA's, we still do 5 regular nights. I'm sure some would love to do 4 nights but some will also have commitments preventing them doing those hours so it would have to be optional. Thats not to say that moving forward new full time GA's on nights won't be contracted 4 nights without option but how often do we get new full time staff these days really? I've not seen a new member of staff get contracted full time in years in our store and very few full timers remain on nights.

doesn't include full time colleagues, only full time managers, our managers were told they were mainly supposed to have 2 full days off which the 4 shifts does, whilst the working 5 doesn't give them enough rest period. ours were supposed to trial it out in august but still waiting on it to be authorised lol.
