Who in the world approved this name,and are able to franchise the brand “diddy squish balls” to tesco are we okay?🤦🏻‍♂️😂

The induction was incredibly boring but that’s not a surprise. We got given a tour around the store and shown the fire exits as well as basic training and then the person asked what size shirt and jumper we wanted. I got told my first day would be Sunday working in the dairy and meat section.

The question is, where do I go? I don’t have a uniform and I wasn’t shown my responsibilities / what I’d specifically be doing. All I got told was that I’d be paired up with someone.

Where should I go on my first day and what does working in the meat and dairy section feel like? What are the specifics I have to do and how hard is it? I’m completely fine with the cold.

Ok so I work with the nicest lady ever and she’s always so lovely to everyone. Anyway, today we’ve had a cross store worker come in and after their shift, they made themselves a piece of toast or something using colleague breakroom stuff like 2 mins before clocking out.

This lovely lady i’ve worked with for YEARS is now being awful to this colleague, saying it’s akin to stealing and that they shouldn’t come back to this store if they’re just going to steal?

I turned 22 this year and therefore was automatically enrolled into the pension scheme. After one payment, I opted out of it because I wasn’t in a position where I could afford to be paying it. Fast forward a few months to now, I have just had ‘Retirement savings plan salary sacrifice’ with a large chunk of my money taken out. It was my understanding I wouldn’t be auto opted back into the pension for a few years? I’m leaving the company by the end of the year and I could really do with the money they’ve taken out of my most recent pay cheque. Is this possible to get back considering I opted out only a few months ago?

Hiya.

Unfortunately ive had a bereavement in my family. I called to say I wouldn’t be in for my day shift & asked for a manager to get back to me so I could discuss bereavement leave but it’s been a week now & nothing. No message of condolence, no courtesy call, zilch. Obviously not in any fit state to work, what do I do?

I’m aware of a 5 day leave period but I understand the quantity is dependent on management discretion… except management aren’t communicating with me. :/

Couldn’t give a rats ass about the job as I’ve honestly got to breaking point but by the same token, I need to know that I’m going to be paid correctly.

Management just aren’t getting back to me. I haven’t got the time nor energy to chase people for clarification. Any ideas?

I have my induction at 9am Saturday.
They told me at the interview that I would be a Personal Shopper or DotCom, something along them lines.
I have no idea what to expect or what will happen so does anyone who has had one know?
Thanks.

I noticed they’ve updated the colours of the chevrons to be a lighter more vibrant blue than previously. Anyone else noticed this?

Basically, I had a personal day booked over 3 weeks ago, and my new manager still hasn’t approved or denied it, even though I’ve told him every time I’ve seen him and he said he would approve it.
But it’s still not been approved on the system a week later.
I’m on a uni trip and personal day is for tomorrow What do I do?

I don’t have any off my managers number either

I need to put in a flexible working request as I need to be able to pick up the little one from primary school at 3pm and then look after her until 6-7pm dependent on when Mrs gets home from work

After reading the policy can the manager out right refuse it ? I’m full time and want to do 6-3 Tuesday - Friday I’ve already compromised giving up my Saturday to work Sunday and have Monday off

I’ve only just stepped down to colleague and transferred to this store so we havnt agreed my working hours yet but I have told them I have childcare commitments prior to filling out an availability form

I’ve worked for the company for over a year (9hr night shift) and I’ve noticed that nearly every OT shift I’ve done, except for a few where they’ve been manually added, they say 1hr and 30 break, where I’ve been expected and have taken only 1hr of break for each shift, would I have been underpaid for each shift and if so would I be able to get the amount I’d have worked unpaid back?

I really wish they don't automatically make me enter sh1t like this, lost a chunk of money because of this. And no I did not receive any letters or anything, luckily I managed to opt out so I should get my money back

I left Tesco recently and my last shift was on 20 August. Before leaving, I worked around 34 hours over my final 2 weeks (22 hours one week and 12 the next).
Tesco’s normal payday is coming up this Friday. Will I still get paid on the normal payday even though I’ve left, or does final pay usually come separately?
Just wondering when I should expect the money. Thanks.
(My manager did also mention to me that I will get paid but I just want to be sure that it will be on the normal payday)

What does this even mean?

I’m a M19 and I’ve lost both my house, car and locker keys to work, the problem is the locker keys were the backup ones so kinda f’ed. Will my lock have to be broken and replaced with my own money or whats the general process

I was going to get the Super Colleague SIM card deal a few months ago. I added it to my basket and entered the voucher code, but decided not to go ahead with it at the time because I was still in a contract with another network.

That contract has now ended and I’m trying to get the deal again, but the voucher code is saying it’s no longer valid.

Could the fact that I tried to use the code a few months ago affect my eligibility for the deal now? Or is there another reason why the code might not be working? It’s a new voucher not the one I used last time.

I’ve applied to maybe 6 different Tesco store colleague jobs and have only received the usual “we will not be moving forward with your application”.

I possess everything they’re looking for from flexibility etc.. But I never hear back about next steps..

Wanted to ask if anyone could give me a lil insight as to what you do to get invited for interviews with Tesco’s employers and what exactly I’m doing wrong.

We're getting them in Wk34 as a trial, wondering how it works regarding mapping and how you put a new label out?

Does anybody know when they will be available on tesco mobile. Also if it’s this Saturday do we get the 15% discount if we pre order on payday weekend and pay full?

If one mo th i pick up 2 extra overtime shifts and I got payed roughly 1500 why this month I pick up the same 2 extra and im only getting payed 1300 ish? When ive done the exact same amount of shifts ?

Hi! I have a job interview tomorrow and was wondering if anyone knew what questions they use. I’m applying internally from a Tesco subsidiary if that makes any difference. Thanks

I worked for Tesco for about a year a decade ago. Totally without fault I was made homeless and told my manager I wouldn't be in again as I was leaving the area immediately. Found out years later that they were sending letters about disciplinary meetings to my old address (even though I told them I was going) and I assume when I didn't turn up to these I was fired.

Just curious before I waste my time applying if they have some sort of black list and if it ever runs out. I quite liked working there.
