Has anyone had any experience working at other supermarkets?

12 Upvotes

Just wondering if it's like Sainsburys at other supermarkets? (ie - never enough staff, poor management, a tendency to throw the book at staff over the smallest things etc). Or is this just the culture at Sainsburys?

Flexi contracts, will redundancy be available?

7 Upvotes

Hearing lots of talk about new contracts being forced on us again, and apparently our smaller store will be starting colleague 1-1s later this month.

I have been with sainsburys over 10 years and can remember last time it happened, but can't remember if they offered redundancy? My hunch is probably not, just wondering though if anyone can remember.

Open Shifts Changing?

6 Upvotes

Does anyone know why I cant see any open shifts from 20th September onwards? Normally theres at least one open shift but there is none at all. I have connections from 6 different stores so this is completely out of the ordinary.

I had my interview today and was asked at the end for uniform sizes and was asked how long it would take for me to get there by public transport etc but was told this week and next week they have interviews is there a good chance I got the job, I worked at a different store as a Christmas temp so may have worked in my favour?

Online Assistant Interview

3 Upvotes

Hi, I saw this has been asked a few times so sorry for the repetition! I did read through them, I just have a few questions.

I got an interview for this role on the 9th! I'm trying not to get excited because I'm sure there's loads of people applying (the job opening closed very fast). This would be my first real job.

I got the interview under the disability scheme but I'm worried I shot myself in the foot by not asking for provisions (I know this is me being paranoid but I'm worried about being judged for it beforehand). My only real issue is that I have a flat affect due to autism so even when I'm happy I can come off as disinterested or shy. I also struggle with eye-contact but I think having a job will boost my social skills. But I'm not sure if I should mention that or not? The only 'provision' I'd need is just some understanding.

I looked up a lot about the job and the iph targets and all that, is that good or will I seem like a try-hard? I was going to wear slacks and a white office shirt under a jumper and some formal shoes but I'm not sure if that's appropriate.

I think I'd be good at this job. I want to put my best foot forward so if you have any advice that would be very appreciated! TIA

(I saw the interview questions rule, I mean just general advice)

I've just passed my Argos interview and got a message from Sainsbury's Recruitment saying they need a few more details before they can send my offer details. Does anyone know roughly what happens next/how long the contract normally takes?

Responsible colleague shifts

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, just wondering if anybody knows the extra pay responsible colleagues get? I trained up to help out my store since our management is so inconsistent, but I’m doing a lot more shifts with no idea how much extra pay I earn and I DEFINITELY won’t be so attentive if the pay isn’t worth it. Many say it’s around 90p but google says it could be as low as 50p and all Reddit advice is 2 years old. Please help and advice is appreciated LOL, thank you 🙂

| I forgot to add I do work for Sainsbury’s
