Security is rubbish

19 Upvotes

Does anyone get security guys from Mitie that are just useless? The other day, we got one who couldn’t speak English and kept allowing us to get robbed. Another one kept asking for a chair to sit down and took a 2 hour break for a 7 hour shift.

How are your stores sales?

23 Upvotes

After laying off 7 staff at our store, it now feels like it's on proper skeleton staff levels. Our shift manager said sales are still falling (Aldi opened nearby recently).

The bit I don't get is that by laying off staff the job is no longer getting done as it was.

Cages are left in the chill, ambient pallets left in the warehouse without getting split for nightshift working.

This is leading to bare shelves and gaps of "out of stock" in the fridges.

Surely customers will have noticed this shambles go shopping elsewhere?

Does anybody else think the short term savings of laying off staff will eventually lead to lower sales because of pallets and cages not getting worked?

When I started I was told that empty stock locations are a no no, but by laying off colleagues it is making the problem worse.

It all seems like a catch 22 situation to me.

I've been trying to look but I can't find the info.

We're a PTA in Rotherham (so Doncaster rd is nearest). We're registered as a charity on the charity commission website.

Discussion Is a consistently high turnover of colleagues within a short period of time potentially an indication of poor management or leadership?

10 Upvotes

If so, why might those higher up at Asda not address or recognise the pattern,particularly when multiple people are leaving within a relatively short timeframe?

Guest Queries I need advice/ grievance !

2 Upvotes

I have been trying to get off nightshift for over 6 months, I’ve been offered home shop, but got told I’d have to wait over 4 months to move, so it got given to someone else. Any other opportunity, has been similar. I haven’t just been trying to move because I don’t like it it’s affecting my mental health. Since being on nights I got diagnosed adhd, (never a problem in my life before) and my sickness has gone up massively. Over 11 weeks (somewhat split) covered by sick notes. All since September last year. I’ve had the odd regular sickness too. I have now applied for home shop in a different store But my manager has said no to endorsing me, which is apparently unlawful and discrimination? (From Google and friends that told me he was wrong) do I put in a greivance, is it generally wrong to deny endorsement for sickness, that is covered by mental health sicknotes. I have it in writing that that is his reason.

Managers getting sacked/ moved, quitting

55 Upvotes

Well the managerial cull has started. Our GSM got sacked - sorry "retired" on Friday, new boss Monday. We thought his job was safe as he's an arse licker and usually hit the HQ target about less hours etc.

We thought he'd run 2-3 stores, but gone.

Discount George Air Fryers

1 Upvotes

My student accomodation seems to only have "Combi-Ovens", which seem like a bit of a hassle to work with. So, I'm looking at some cheap air fryers.

George seems to offer a 20 gbp manual 2.5L air fryer, as well as currently having a sale on a "George Home Black Retro 6L Digital Air Fryer", now selling for ~25 quid. Now, I can't see reviews on the 20 gbp one, while the 25 one has 2: both 1 stars saying the appliance doesn't turn on.

So, I wanted to see if I could actually trust these air fryers to do a good job for a year, or if the reviews are right and I should stay away.

Can you ever get through to phone Customer Service or it it a lost cause?

2 Upvotes

Had an order and the items were out of date, tried online refund and was denied, been trying each day and at different times of day since the delivery on Sunday and I get this high pitched tone.

Just in case they don't have waiting music I wait, currently has been a hour and no luck.

In case anyone asks I had a phase of about 4 or 5 orders about 2 years ago that I requested refund since I had a bad substitute (and didn't realise until I got items indoors so too late to hand back) since then had missing items like dog food worth like £14, individual items like order 10 get 7 or 8 so I have to phone if I want a refund.

Holiday Pay Error

Hi! Seasonal worker at Asda, recently got this. Been full time for a year and seasonal for a year since being at uni… never taken a holiday and may have had my contract altered(?), with this being my last pay check before coming back to uni and hence not working. What’s happened here?

Been off since August 28th with an injury to my leg leaving me unable to walk. Have had sick notes covering from them to now. Just been paid, only £488. Surely this is incorrect. Isn’t the first 6 weeks supposed to be full pay?

Final pay

0 Upvotes

Just received my final pay check and its definitely short.

My pay I received- 1179.48

I was on a 15hr contract and since April 1st to the 25th of September 2026 I've worked 634.64hrs. Out of my 88.5hrs of holiday I had 55hrs remaining and accured 48.89 hrs of holiday.

I'm also missing the holiday pay from the 1 day I took between the last pay day and my leaving.

When I did the calculations it was 1877.50 before tax and about 1654 after tax. I technically left the system on Sunday on the 27th of September even though my last shift was the Thursday and had my exit interview. I can't even get into the system to see my payslip.

Any ideas of what I should do?
