Quote from: BobbyDazler on 01-02-24, 05:54PMI asked my store manager today and he said he's not even heard any rumours. So to be honest I don't think any roles are going. It will probably be a move around of hours. Given 90% of large stores aren't even following the "scheduler" it just makes more sense to go back to basics.

I don't believe this as I am a Wage Clerk at a Large Extea and my Manager's are being told they have to do their own exceptions, adding FROG and all absences.  I am like a minder, teacher, advisor! 

Maybe your store manager doesn't trust your ability and duty managers are always supposed to upload absences especially sick once the call comes in.

Excuse me!  I'm a very trusted/knowledgeable Wage Clerk how dare you suggest otherwise!

It is to get the Manager's doing all their admin/FROG it's not just our Extra Store either! So watch out it could be on its way to you!

Weren't you having a meltdown at Xmas when they removed your ability to add Bank details and made it exclusive to the store manager only? A change that lasted 48 hours because all large store managers ended up revolting on a conference call. The bank option is still there due to that revolt. Like said already that one incident probably saved wage clerks for another year.

If your store manager isn't using you correctly I would question why as the wage clerk job role hasn't been changed. Your store manager appears to have made a choice to sideline you.

So your a Checkout Superstar perhaps you need to keep to what you know, rather than other jobs and keep your inside info from your Manager and his Wife! As it was rubbish tge fact that you would said I was being side lined and why I was not doing my Job Role! Perhaps you should have looked as the Job Role has 13 tasks of which we only do 7 as the rest were HRAM and therefore defunked.  As I said the Manager's are doing all their own exceptions and admin as of April as of the announcement today the Wage Clerk position no longer exists.

I think you owe me an apology for being so rude obviously my store was getting prepared for this so it was coming your way!

Quote from: SAMCRO on 06-02-24, 03:14PMScratch bakery was binned in my store last year. Bakers never had the option of redundancy. They keep their skilled payment rate for 18months and then fall in line with GA pay. The days of redundancy for shop floor staff are over. We are all customer assistants now and have been for a while. This change of job title/contract was done precisely to avoid paying out redundancies.

You work where needed in accordance to your availability, you have zero options.

Good old usdaw!!!

I am Security only work security no other departments not trained and won't be ocupational health said not fit for any other department

So you can confront shoplifters and potentially aggressive people but you can't put tissue paper on a shelf? 

You couldn't make it up could you! OH probably said he/she can't confront anyone either   

OH employee who signed that off needs investigating. Working security but cannot be trained or fit to work elsewhere, biggest load of c**p I've heard in a long long time.

Quote from: KELTIKKING on 06-02-24, 03:58PM2 night managers
2 shift leaders
Is more than enough to run a shift

As I said works in other companies

Yes I was a lead

Came back but not for long as absolutely no work life balance
Will obtain clarity soon from by SM


Well they said that they were collecting data while the trail was on going that's why the trail was extended! I would be interesting to see what the data was or if it was just store managers that just didn't like it because I would have money on it being the latter!

My bakery going to bake off but bakers are going to packers and packers being moved elsewhere

@neetworker i agree with you,our shift leaders only run the shift when there on there own,if a managers in they just follow manager round,so shift leaders seem pointless on nights, night lead coming back sounds like over investment to me,maybe team manager cull later down the line

I have not had chance to speak with my sm as I have been on holiday the last week and I am not back until 10pm tonight but I have just been speaking to one of our union reps and she seems to think that we will be going from 2 night shift leaders to one shift leader and one of the shift leaders are going to be replaced by a night lead

Has anyone else heard anything about this?

Tesco is turning into Lidl.bakers only get 20p hourly more and now Tesco taking a skill away to sell rubbish bread .that some factories had made

so whoare these lead team jobs going to be filled with?,are they just going to promote the existing night manager to lead?,or recruit externally

They'll be filled by the old leads returning, but they'll demand (and probably get) 10% more pay because absolutely nobody wants to be a night manager anymore............ Another stroke of genius 🤣

Considering the fact that night shift leads get paid for the hours that they work, meaning most are making (at least) 35k+, the actual cost of replacing a shift lead with a lead Manager is pretty small.......

The bread in part bake is not worthy of being called bread .

What the timeline for bakery's

the joke of it is we had 2 pallets of flour delivered yesterday,then get told scratch bakery is going,and we are going to part bake

It's Band B stores which it affects. Seems like every other stores are staying at the current structure.

I'm just guessing it lower then that

Quote from: cheesy cob on 07-02-24, 06:41AMWhat the timeline for bakery's ]

Go bake off in 12 weeks I think they said

Is that every single store or selected stores always happens when I am away on holiday .

I heard only 25 bakeries in the uk going to bake-off

Bakery going in our store to bake off! Some bakers are gutted as there is no redundancy, just moving the packers around the store. Wage clerk is going to checkouts, again no redundancy

How much do band B stores take?

That sounds like full scratch might be staying good news.probably just white dough then.

Not a peep in my store, we're staying scratch for a bit longer it seems.

I really don't know why anyone would be paying the Union anymore.

Every one of these decisions has been run through the union as part of the 'Partnership', and the union has just rolled over and had their bellies ticked.

Waste of Money.
