Here's a novel idea.  To get people to work Fri/Sat evenings pay a reasonable sum of money to make it worth while for people to lose their leisure time with their friends/family etc.

Or even more novel.....drop the serve, pick and fill BS and give people pride in their jobs again, so they want to do the extra shifts.  Creating a place where they enjoy their job and want to do more, like it use to be.  Never happen I know.

As I told people before with the new contract you will not be getting redundancy unless you work nights or your hours will be getting cuts. If you work in morning or evening time dont expect redundancy unless your store closing down or unless you work nights work in pharmacy phone as those are different contracts and different hours.

What about those that cannot work on Dot.com or lift etc. Seems very unfair that they are being dumped after many years service and may not be fit enough for any where else!

There is various jobs available such as checkouts if lifting is heavy.At the end of day there is no refudancy for those who work in admin.

Quote from: JJH on 27-06-23, 12:31PMHealthy as in possibly keeping somebody in a job?

Yes and no ..... redundancy should be offered if a job goes.But if keeping a job yes,but it may not always suit.

They wont get redundancy as with the new contract they will be moved to another area.That is the reason why Tesco brought in the new contract.The only ones I see getting redundancy if any will be those working on nights managers pharmacy workers and phone shop workers.Apart from that no one else as they are all on pick serve fill contract.

Quote from: Nomad on 27-06-23, 05:30PMRedundancy should be offered because the soon to be effected employee may find the alternatives unreasonable because of any number of criteria.

The new contract was brought in so people who lose their job in their department will be put onto another one.  So in reality they won't get redundancy which is sad.  The last redundancy for people working in evening and mornings were a few years ago, now with the new contract there will be no more redundancy unless you are a manager pharmacy worker or working nights, those are the only areas.

Quote from: Checkout Superstar on 27-06-23, 06:16PMWhat sort of terms have to be met for redundancy these days anyway? if you have a live or active warning does that mean they could stop you getting it? 

The only terms if your job will be effected.  Like for example if Tesco removes pharmacy then they will get redundancy as their contract is only for pharmacy or if they work the phone shop.  Or if they work dot com and a driver.  Or if they are a manager.  Also for night workers whose job will be lost.  For anyone else they won't get it as they will not lose their job will not have different hours and can easily work a different department.

Tesco will never drop that.  In fact they wished they had done it sooner.  if they need to cut hours now they can and instead move people around without no large payout.

The new contract is laughable....pretty sure an app is ruining the company now.....see what I did there.

are any stores actually following the app and putting staff where it sends them?,we are still being told to ignore it by our store manager and just stay on our current departments

Who moved the rock?

I don't see the point of the app as does not actually tell you where you are other than grocery or fresh (on nights anyway)you generally still have to find a manager to say where you are on grocery or fresh.
)

The app is pointless, move people around who know what they are doing, put others where they are clueless.  Everyone's fed up enough as it is.  I just think it laughable that the zero engagement the company has with its staff now will only continue this vicious circle.

Disagree - I use it to take extra hours and book time off at my convenience.

Very soon they will get rid of cleaners in big stiresjust like in express.Tesco loves cutting down staff numbers now they sill simply not pay redundancy avd just move people around what a dump it has become.

Can't understand why people stay if they find the place so bad to work for

Surely that's just open to all kinds of abuse though!

👍

Compared to a few years ago it is bad, people expect better treatment not too much to ask from a multi billion company is it.  They stay because they have families and bills to look after there's no moral high ground at Tesco.....trouble is there's always the opinionated on either side.  Just go in treat it as a job and don't let them try to make out its more than that.

Yes, just like there is in all walks and levels of life.  Some of the biggest abuses are at the top of the tree.

Oh so we're playing whataboutery? I see, in that case it's payouts for all!

I'm being obtuse of course, I'd find it very hard to believe there isn't a suitable role wages clerk could move into.

Never understood this, we don't work in an environment with non-transferable skills.

I know when I've had frustrations with the company I actively searched for jobs elsewhere and had a couple of interviews.

I'm not playing anything.  I am pointing out, as most adults know, that there is abuse in all systems, ranging from (and higher) a  MP/councillor or CEO being 'inventive' with their expenses claims, to a newspaper boy/girl picking up a sweet from the 'Pick N Mix' on their way through the store.

To point out redundancy situations could be open to abuse seemed a trivial point to make.

Yep 100%
They believed that people were far more loyal and wouldnt take the money and just move to another retailer.
