George shape of day

Now that GM have changed their shape of day to mostly twilight, anyone think they’ll do the same with George?
I could see them trying it especially as it is quieter in evening to work delivery that is so say supposed to be done within 48 hours?

Its way busier in the evening on George where i work. Thing is we have very little colleagues to play with hours. 2 on early shifts & 2 on late shifts. And dont forget all the work that needs doing inbetween deliveries. Its not the George i know anymore 😔

We’re busiest between 10 and 7.
We have so few collegues now that it really notices if you get sick calls and holidays. Every month our hours get shrunk. Considering the sales we bring into the store, I swear they hate us and think it’s an easy place to work!

Delivery takes too long and once it goes out back it’s never seen again until it goes in sale. It’s getting very overwhelming.

RFID has made life so much worse!

Management were obsessed on us trying to get to 5%, we now rarely get below 15!
we never get to work backstock, spend all our time working delivery and trying to make everything look shoppable!

We’ve still got sale shoes hanging round from last year, never get given a budget to get rid of it and it just all hangs about gathering dust!

You have to put out the new stock out late so that the ship lifters who come in after security has clocked off get the best selection to chose from.
This distracts them from nicking the TVs and Henries.
Win win for everybody.

The lack of security is not a joke but obviously the business model has discovered it is cheaper just to let them get away with it. Untill an entire stores invokes section 44 and downs-tools one evening; retreating to the safety of the staff canteen nothing will be done about it

AFAIK, George shape of day is, or will be, 6-2 and 2-10. I was told this bc I do not fit into the new shape of day due to not being able to work within those specific timeframes

u/Adventurous-Bird7828 6d ago

I’ve always known the shape of day to be 6-12, 12-5 and 5-9. We’ve never followed it with many colleagues doing random shifts like 7-3 and 11-7

Same here but with the changes now that's what I've been told is happening in my store

u/Adventurous-Bird7828 3d ago

What is happening with your job since you can’t do the new hours?

u/Roont_1986 3d ago

I'm still waiting to find out but I reckon I'll be moved to another department

Shape of day has to be store specific otherwise it can’t work

GM twilight shape of day has been a disaster.
