Any ideas what roles??

Is it just Team Managers or do us regular colleagues get any changes?

i.e stock control.

Are Security going

@mickeymouse what would be the point?just to replace with agency guards,cant see that being cost effective to do or worthwhile

Just remember the security role now is just being a greeter and a deterrent.

Our security have been agency for years.

The counters/bakery manager in our store usually finishes at 1pm on a Monday but he is staying until 4pm. That makes it sound like counters/bakery are involved.

Agency security are awe full. Better with a cut out cardboard police officer standing at the door. All managers being briefed in our store at 12pm. Hopefully leaks thereafter!!

I think all stock control routines other than PR scanning are being scrapped on weekends. A loss of 16 hours.

Can anyone actually confirm these briefings are happening?

All the managers in my store are currently in the meeting room.

Any news on payrise or Nights being effected?.

Briefings are defo happening at the moment!

I'm surprised stock control still functions. They have come at it with cuts every year.

Yes, emergency manager meetings started today.

Changes week 10
More news next few coming days for store specifics. All stores will be reviewed and go to the structure introduced in some stores in 2019 with less management and shift leaders brought it. Nights full time 4 day working weeks. All counters, deli, fish closing across the board now

Some leads confirmed letting go also, my superstore going to no lead

Official from my personal manager call briefing

Sounds like fish counters *and* hot delis are closing from May.

So sorry to those effected.

So are deli staff being moved or offered redundancy?

I'm not sure, but personally colleagues "GAs" do not get offered redundancy. New Contract will just mean your hours will be moved into a different department where those hours suit best.

No they signed new contract which states they are now Tesco worker.Unless the hours which they are doing now there is no job for they won't get redundancy.

Many former metros store turned express still have nights a night manager and far ro many shift leaders around 12 shift leaders 2 managers and 1 store managers. When will they be at the stage when they will have no night and have only 1 store manager and few shift leaders?

This sounds very like the structure that's been introduced in Ireland over the last couple of years.

Nights are just skeleton crews, dealing with the fresh delivery and leavers aren't replaced. They're hoping to allow "natural wastage" (disgusting term) to clear out most night crews. Only dotcom stores have nights crews now and that will be eventually fazed out.

All counters closed last year, staff were just moved around and leavers not replaced. No scratch bakeries here just part baked.

Management teams are very small now, a busy extra would be a store manager, deputy, maybe 3 team managers and they're trying to get as much of the duty shifts covered with team leaders as possible.

I've felt for awhile that they've been trialing many of these changes in ireland before implanting them in the UK.

Hopefully redundancy offers are available for affected staff and management alike and they can move on to better things.

In Ireland there was also an attempt to remove premium payments for early mornings, Sundays and Bank Holidays. This was roundly rejected by the staff, and wasn't implemented. But I believe new starters are on a flat rate.

All security guards were TUPE'd across to agency or given a buyout last year.

Huge number of refits taking place last year and this year, there was a big push to try and get all stores completed before Xmas but wasn't possible.

There is talk that the dotcom pick could be moved to mostly evenings, but that's purely speculation.

They will be trying to get a number of dotcom fulfillment centers up and running in the near future.

The common consensus among staff is that really it's only the nightcrew who've any hope of redundancy at this point. Most staff just have a generic contract (not quiet pick fill serve but similiar) and with a blanket ban on recruitment for nights it seems inevitable once the depot can accomodate it.

Still waiting to hear if there's been any conference calls for sm in ireland today

Briefs should have now taken place in all stores - the ones I'm aware of took place at 12 and 12:30 with all managers informed of the changes including store specifics

Yes all managers were in a meeting at 12 pm

Is there any company that messes their staff around more than Tesco? one of our more competent managers recently got a lead manager job at a SS. Yet todays news means that job will be gone by week 10.

Such a bad company this is.
