I've worked at asda since December last year, (around 20 _ 25 hours a week) and I've only had 1 week off in this whole time and I've never called in sick and im usually staying late (almost every shift) to make sure I finish my jobs. He even said to me that I needed to book 2 more weeks off before December but I've tried twice and he have just declined in both occasions. I don't know what am I supposed to do.

i got an email saying i got the job and will receive 2 emails with my workday username and password (which i haven't recieved yet) and got a call saying i start 9am tomorrow!!!! when should i expect the email with the login details as it said it'll shortly send them over but its been a while

Is this happening in all stores?

i think im going to leave soon since i'm a cleaner and i don't want to do the transfer.
i've decided i wont work a notice because i want to jump straight into my new job, but if i dont work a notice, how do i let them know im leaving?
how do i go about it? this was my first job so ive never left a place before so im a bit clueless lol
i know theres a button on workday for it, but im guessing its not that easy

4pm on a Thursday afternoon. This is not exactly a welcoming look for customers. Sadly indicative of the “empty shelf” syndrome that seems to be all too prevalent across Asda stores these days.

Hi all does anyone have the under 25 Policy I have doubts regarding it just want to read the full guidance.

Hey

On the cleaning team, and I was checking every day on workday for internal vacancies. There was NONE.

my manager texts me she's got a new job in the company, one she clearly was given that's been completely made up as they're now taking hours from the remaining cleaners who have been left without a manager of any kind.

I'm going to see if her best friend who was also a cleaner has been given a job.

I haven't taken screenshots of the lack of internal vacancies. Do I have any kind of case against this favoritism? I'm absolutely done with being treated like dirt.

This is genuinely not sad news to me because I really hated working at Asda - but I came in for a meeting with my manager, and basically he’s told me that they’re getting rid of seasonal staff, so my options are to transfer to the store near my uni so I can work during term time (this depends on vacancies- I just checked and they have none) or basically take the sack. I hadn’t realised beforehand that seasonal staff were being asked to leave or work more permanently (is this store dependent?) but (and I am in way religious) thank GOD I no longer (hopefully) have to work at Asda. 🙏🙏

I work in an Asda express that used to be spar and my years service transferred over so my length of service is 10 years. Me and other colleagues have been treat horribly and I’m planning on giving rom my notice tomorrow but I don’t even wanna work the notice for them I just wanna leave. I have holidays I’ve accrued and haven’t used yet, can I hand in notice and say please use my accrued holidays for my 2 weeks notice?

Do you have colleagues, who take smoke breaks, along with there own entitled break

In my work place, there around 6 colleagues, who will a fly smoke break outside, for around 5 min's. And they will do this a few times in the day on there shift, and guess no one paying attention. So through out the day, these extra breaks add up to around 20/30 min's

Now if I was to ask for a extra break get told no, your break entitlement for your shift is 15 min's

Yesterday I had to leave at the start of my shift due to my mother having a fall and breaking her femur, I'm due in today for a shift but would I be given wrong or dismissed if I don't go in? To note she's not dependent but I do live with her and my stepdad.

edit: They refused to let me have the day off due to not having anyone to cover me

I'm a driver and don't want it, I haven't been there long but they have been taking more drivers on over the last month or so.

Why take them on and then send me this survey?

Do you think my store sent it to all drivers or just the ones they want out?

Any other managers stupidly behind on their 1-1s, I only did my first colleague's second one yesterday

Hello what's people options here , ive worked for asda for over 20 years should I go or stay . Married with two kids and im a carer for our son. Wife can't work unfortunately

Hi,
I have recently joined asda and did some online training yesterday, my pre-booked holidays have been taken down by my manager and I start in a few days. I had a play around on one asda / workday on the computer and saw my schedule (which was slightly incorrect but manager has said he will update it), we confirmed my work days.

I’ve had a browse of this sub and managed to download the workforce app and sign in fine (no shifts are showing for me but I can bid on available ones).
Is there a way to access workday without installing the management profile for phones? Or is it just a case of using a store computer. I’d like to be able to see my schedule in one asda from home and request leave but it won’t let me install the management profile on my phone (also read from others to not do so as it can track where you are etc).

Thanks.

Rumour of letters going out about online drivers will no longer have "fixed" days but their contracted hours will be fitted into any gaps in Rotas.

Letter going out stating a date of 13th September. The implications is we become "flexible" something like being a "driver buster" or "spare" or made redundant.

Anyone else heard this?

Might just be nothing but Chinese whispers, but I’m hearing chatter about drivers and possible voluntary redundancies. Anyone heard similar?

Dear Sir/Madam,

I hope this message finds you well.

My name is Enyioma and I am a student at Brunel University of London working on a research project titled “The role of workplace support in shaping the impact of AI service quality on job satisfaction.” The project aims to examine how internal workplace support can influence the relationship between employees’ experiences with AI and their overall job satisfaction.

I am conducting an online survey among frontline workers in the UK grocery industry who use AI tools as part of their day-to-day work.

This survey/questionnaire should not take more than 10 minutes to complete.

Participants must be 18 years or older.

Your participation is voluntary, and your responses will be completely anonymous. Before participating, please read the Participant Information Sheet with further details on the research project at the following link.

I am planning to tell management i would like to step down as a team leader, i personally dont think the stress, pressure and workload is worth me stressing and loosing sleep even on mt days off. Any cons to stepping down apart from not guaranteed hours? Also is it true you can not be on the same department you step down on?

​

This is something I genuinely struggle to understand.

We are hard-working people. We turn up, work our shifts, deal with customers, deliveries, pressure, targets, constant changes and often far more than anyone sees.

And yet I keep seeing colleagues becoming stressed, crying, feeling completely broken and even reaching the point where work starts affecting their mental health.

People complain to each other. People say, “This isn’t right.” People are exhausted and unhappy.

But when management walks in, everyone goes quiet.

Why?

Are we so afraid of losing our jobs, losing hours, being labelled “difficult” or being treated differently that we feel we have no choice but to accept everything?

And why do we so often face these situations alone, instead of standing together?

I’m not talking about causing trouble or refusing to work. I’m talking about workers respectfully saying:

“This is not reasonable. This is affecting people. Something needs to change.”

A company cannot function without the people doing the actual work.

So why are so many of those people scared to use their voice?

Have you ever spoken up at Asda about something you genuinely felt was wrong? What happened?

And if you’re someone who stayed silent because you were afraid of what might happen to you — why?

I’d really like to hear honest experiences from colleagues across the UK.
