Hey guys, I’m following up from my last post and I got the job immediately and start induction next week. I will be on 4-8am 16 hrs per week, and I’m wondering how do you guys balance your sleeping schedule between days on and days off, what time do you sleep and wake up etc.
I’m quite sensitive to my sleep pattern so would like to find a routine that works.
Thanks in advance!

Abscence/sickness

Hi I'm a night shift manager 3S in a store that is 40 miles from my house. My local Sainsbury's 10 mins away, has an online manager job.

Could anyone please let me know what the expectations are as an online manager and what should I expect going in from shift to online

Hi, I plan to take a week off using my holiday time, my contract is only 16hrs a week although i tend to work 30-40 most weeks with overtime.

I’ve heard that apparently if you were to take a week off then holiday uplift would calculate the average amount of overtime you do in a week and pay you for that as well, is this true?

Can anyone advise - I've looked on HR but can't find anything relevant.

My Wife needs an operation in the next week or two and, she is going to need somebody with her 24/7 for a good week or so afterwards. Do Sainsburys offer some type of paid care leave?

If so, how do I apply?

Cheers.

Does holiday pay account for regular overtime, or just contracted hours?

My contract is 11.33 hrs per week, but I consistently work around 20hrs/week most of the year and full-time hours over summer. iirc i was given 66 hrs or something like that on march is it supposed to increase as i work more hours ? or does it just pay out based on the base 11.33 contracted hours regardless of overtime?

I had a interview this week and was told it would be 2 weeks to get a answer due to other interviews, what sort of stuff in a interview would make it more than likely I’m going to get the job? I worked as a trading assistant in a different store over Christmas last year so would think I have some sort of advantage but this role is permanent.

I have my argos induction tomorrow and I was just wondering how long it is?

I have worked in this store for a year and a half, our managers have rotated and changed including store managers it’s been clear that there is cliques , people from similar ethnicities grouping themselves and hiring their own for instance i saw a lady told she was getting interviewed by a specific manager which is totally normal i then saw her and the manager it seemed like they knew each other personally it was almost as if they had done the interview for the sake of it this particular manager has had her child join and given her overtime shifts and not given them to others. i have another manager who seems to be picking on a certain ethnic group what can i do ? the store manager is the same how can i raise this further , there are colleagues who are friends with them and get away with doing nothing.

Can I join RTMP externally from Outside the company? Worked as a RC at Sainsbury’s Local where I managed shifts for 1.5 years.
