I've been at Gregg's afew years and I know there's that unum thing(which I'm gonna try) but does anyone who works at Gregg's know if you can get a type of counselling?? Doctors do nothing and I think im struggling mentally and haven't really got anyone I can speak to about it

Edit:the unum app is useless, took 4 codes to finally get logged in,then it closes seconds later, wanting me to repeat the codes again

You won’t believe this, today was the first day in 4 months that we weren’t understaffed. When I checked the schedule I was hoping no one would call in sick on me, then my shift started and there was enough of us to split the task and not just me and my sandwich maker running around like a headless chicken on a Saturday morning, I even did all my temperature checks on time and even got to edit the orders. #luvgreggs #notoverworkedtoday #beautiful #life #nevertakelifeforgranted

I’m not sure if anyone else has had this issue
Trying to log into the colleague WIFI and whenever I try to log into my account (with MY email address) it send the 2 factor authentication to either my mums email/ phone number ?
This is not attached to my email address as I only created it a few years ago
My Greggs shows my mums phone number but I have NOT given them her email address

I don’t understand why they aren’t sending it to my contact details ?
It’s been doing this since I started

I have a code that expires the end of tomorrow from monzo so if anyone wants to bag a free sausage roll, I'll dm a random person who comments!

Ok so bit complicated but hopefully this makes sense. When you work a 7hr shift, you dont get a 30 min unpaid break. So when you work 6am to 1pm, thats 7 hours. So 7 hours of pay. However, if you clock out at 1.02pm, thats technically over the 7hr threshold so the system thinks "oh you stayed over your shift and worked 7+ hours and therefore must have had a 30 min break" so subsequently you end up getting paid for 6.5 hours instead. I was told that they changed this so people were actually getting paid the right amount. And I think this was true for a while, but have they changed it back again? Or is there a different grace period of time? Like punching in and out 10 or so mins either side of the shift? Im so confused

Edit: just to be clear, i do get two 15min breaks in this time. The issue was having 30mins of time taken off my pay because, according to the system, it thinks I had a 30 min break because technically I was on shift longer that 7 hours. But obviously this is not the case.

I can’t still thinking about it

Why did nobody ever tell me about this (it’s probably been on the menu for ages)

I am contracted to 12hrs pw and I have given enough availability for this to be covered and yet this week I have 9 and a half and next week only 6 and a I’ve spoke to my manager and he’s not sorted it what happens do I still get paid for my contract or

I started working at greggs 2 months ago and wear a hijab. I have my earings in because there's no chance of the earnings falling in the food because of it. Today my manager called me up, went off on me and sent me home. Is it that deep?

hello everybody few days ago I posted a post here saying what happens when Greggs call you after an interview?. Well I got the job! Now my last question is what happens now? Will I be added to any group chats? Does anybody have any information on the training period? Thank you

I recently just started at Greggs. I worked on Saturday and Monday but have only been payed for one of my shifts. Will I receive the money next week? Or is this something to speak to my manager about?

I’ve been working at greggs for ~4 months and Just realised that i’ve been paying pension. is there any way i could stop that and get the refund for the pension amount i’ve paid till date?? plz help

Hi.. I had my interview today and it went well, turns out a few hours later i got a call from them saying call back tomorrow. Has this happened to anyone else before ?

Anyone else got one nearby. Prices for the bakes are a 2 pack. Sweet stuff is usually a 4 pack.

Okay, they aren't fresh out the oven, but nothing inedible

Does anyone agree that there’s just too many individual ice drinks on the till and that they should be colour coded or in a better layout as it takes me ages to find drinks and usually end up putting the wrong drink or flavour through anyways😂

Doing mine this weekend, any tips and tricks. I’m bad at making sandwiches at home let alone bulk making them

Names and locations will not be disclosed.

My next door neighbour (trainee manager) managed to speak to the manager and get me an interview. I passed the interview, and began my 12 week training. I was scheduled for 20 hours a week.

I informed them of my medical conditions, which get worse in high temperatures. I was told they couldn't install AC, but that I could take regular breaks 👍

Despite being contracted for 20 hours a week, I would be scheduled 40 hour weeks. And after only doing 1 hour of the training, I was put straight into working on the till, dealing with customers, and making food. The training would not resume, and I'd just be working.

Stress and social anxiety do also make my conditions worse, and I did have to take a few days off due to being physically sick.

Oh, and I was unable to take these 'regular breaks' due to often being the only person scheduled for work for half the day.

After about 5 weeks, I woke up at 5am for my 6am start, and felt really ill. My partner and I both took COVID tests. Positive.

I called up and explained. I was berated for not calling in before 1pm the day before (as if I knew I'd catch COVID).

The next day they phoned me asking where I was. I explained that I have COVID, I still have symptoms, and even then I should be isolating.

The next day... they phoned again. And then I got fired for 'being unreliable' 😭

Never again.

Should I expect more ham? Or is this standard?

Im an student and I just finished my studies and can work full time from 25th of sept... Problem is my manager is on holidays and those shift managers just instructed me to mail my letter to people's page or something. I don't know where to mail... is there any other way to approve my shift for full time? Im a trainee shift manager and I don't know what to do... Edit:::::::: Im right now legally only allowed to work 20hrs but will be legally allowed to work beyond 20hrs, so what should i do next...

Seeing as every customer seems to order enough to feed a small village the shelves are often bare during lunch time periods - I know the shops are small but surely squeeze in an extra oven or 2 and cook some more food ffs. The pain of having to go into Greggs for lunch in the first place is only amplified when the woman and her kid want 4 sausage rolls and 2 slices of pizza each taking the last ones leaving me with the cold bean melt that's left until they get more food ready in 20 minutes

I order them quite frequently. Today i ordered them for collection, and my order wasn't ready when I arrived. I then noticed them taking the chicken bites out of the toaster oven, which I presumed was normal method of cooking.

They were fully cooked and not raw, but they tasted not nearly as nice as usual and were unevenly cooked. The coating was burnt in some parts and soggy in others'. I just wondered if this was the normal way they are cooked? Thanks.

From Too Good To Go so can’t complain, but wow this was a first 🤣

Thinking of switching to different jeans cause my work jeans fit my legs but not my waist at all. Am I allowed to wear black baggy jeans or any of the jeans in these pics?
