If they want you to use an app, then they need to provide the equipment to access it, can't discipline somebody who doesn't have the means or know how to access work related information!

If it's anything like the PDA farce...there'll be little, if any progress for the foreseeable

Waiting for the bullying to start to make this shitty system work,that's the only way it will work.

Exactly 😂, the aim is to have atleast 80% of colleagues trained up for it around by time it gets near and 90 something in June 😂, ours is sat at about 46% trained, most can't access, there is still the paper sheets about for dot com and for checkout overtime, same for night etc.. So will be interesting to see the farce of it all in play.

Plus can't wait for Jane Doe who has spent years sitting down on a till to be presented with 12 cages of frozen and told they must fill it all b4 they go home.

Jane Doe has probably hit her scan targets, has hit her service targets etc. It could well be John Doe on shop floor who ends up on a till who will have to smile and chat with customers. Checkout hours in most stores are very tight. If Jane Doe is needed on shop floor it's as support and unlikely to be for a shift. You would not put someone from the shop floor straight to CSD, even as a second body and you would not put someone from checkouts to a heavy aisle. A bit of reality and less of a vindictive attitude is needed.

Is it 'you' putting the person on heavy stuff or 'the system'? Reading on here you folks have said how 'the system' just puts people where they are needed and it doesnt worry if so and so doesn't like heavy boxes

[dizzy_1]

How I understood it, if Jane Doe has Freezers on her skills set then she could be scheduled to do a few hours there to cover the shortfall. If John Doe only has checkouts/cds then that's where he would stay or maybe asked to face off or a cardboard run. You should only be moved if you are trained on that dept. How that actually works in practice is anyone's guess.

[kaled78]

What's with the rollout of training over 25 people on backdoor, are they planning to make backdoor men redundant or just relaunching tip and fill?

[5fdp]

Can't make backdoor staff redundant as they are ga's just like the rest of you. Try and understand that all staff are ga's and there will be no redundancy unless you work nights. The rest of you will be here until you retire.

[King1999]

Understand if it will save them money they will carry on with the self destruction, profit over people.
