Quote from: FarmerFred on 21-04-24, 01:16AMTobacco products will become mandatory ID on all sales - probably with a date prompt on the till screen, but it wouldn't surprise me if some of the big players ditch Tobacco sales altogether within a few years.
When one does they all will. They are just waiting for the first to go and the others will follow suit.

I agree that this forum has the benefit of anonymity - well, of course, people could give things away if they weren't careful, but accounts aren't linked to a name.

What I do think is interesting is that the number of posts seems to have rocketed since it was announced that VLH was closing down / and that new topics could now be created by members.

Quote from: Scojor on 20-04-24, 09:01PMSo basically this "Bonus" is just to cover the month we are being paid under the Living Wage.

Yes role on the next reshuffle. And hopefully they will shuffle you and your type straight out the door.😂😂👍

Call me cynical but this is how it's looking.

Managers saying "they didn't get a bonus last year" need to realise no one did!

Once again the ones working hard to cover for bad management are under rewarded compared to the incompetent management team!

But in spite of all that let's rejoice at 1.5% when we are working for a month under minimum wage!
pretty much hit the nail on the head there there  yes it seems it's a token payment really nothing more if you're full time take half of you're bonus off to cover aprils underpayment then after tax what you going be getting 120 if that .. but yet when the results  and bonus were announced you had some managers or our Tesco actually complaining that they should get the 1.5% on top of there 5% it's laughable really then you got the bonuses what senior managers are getting which is scandalous but there u go ...  it's plain to see now general assistants store colleagues whatever are nothing but numbers nothing more or less and it's the general staff being pushed keeping stores ticking over .. ed them to tamanagers moaning about there salary no one ever forcke a salary paid job it was there own choice but yet they get thousands of pounds more for doing next to zero work when it's dumped on shift leaders and the departments assistants ..
:D  :D  :D  You You could say the same about CAs. Moaning about a job nobody forced them to take. Silly man. Think first before p0sting and Try posting more sensible next time.

But it's ok for managers to moan about a job no one forced them to take?!!
Amazing how much better things are going with less management, just a shame the best of a bax bunch were kept!
Role on the next reshuffle!

Kinda weird, the employee said they were told couple of days ago that posters would be going up, now tells me as of today no such thing has appeared, very strange

If not doing anything daft this site does give a degree of anonymity, not easy for any of tesco to link posts to a specific employee

Aye if going by social media policy then any and all social media groups including WhatsAppand Facebook groups arent allowed, only ones allowed now are qchat - so definitely don't get caught being in one talking about work.. Least with some other stuff it's easier to hide and such but FB just gives everything away  8-)

Just rise above BooHoo/ nowanexmanager's posts. This person just reinforces the toxic management culture that Tesco promotes and has nothing better to do in their day than sit and try and stir up trouble. Ignore them and hopefully they will get back in their box.

EDIT Sorry this was aimed more at Scojur.

Have to agree.  I belong to a couple of FB groups focused on work issues but I am *extremely* careful about what and how I post on those.  Actually, I am careful on here too.  I save expletive filled venting for when with colleagues in private away from members of the public and, for when the odd occasion calls for it, F2F with my manager.
