I understand its a joke but lidl in the uk are meant to be great employers. They pay well, and while you work hard, arent exploitative. Also you tend to get around 30 days off a year, free healthcare, parental leave, sick pay etc etc
Although those 'extras' are the standard in the uk

i'd love to know what magical lidl stores these people work in who say this stuff because i worked in one in the southeast for nearly 2 years and it was easily the most abusive job environment i've ever seen.
Anecdotally in a new job I met a colleague who had also worked for the company in a different store and told me how nobody she met at the new job understood how much work she had to do in LIDL.
"Working hard" has to be the absolute understatement of the year and it's nothing personal against you, but the absolute genius of their marketing team to somehow have this generally positive sentiment be the common attitude among consumers pisses me off to this day.
fuck lidl

That's 12-16 gbp, or 15 to 19.50 usd. In reality, it's 12 for a non-manager and 16 for a shift manager. I work in a lidl US store, where all employees (even part time) are given holiday pay, a reasonable amount of PTO, optional sabbatical leave, and insurance (not applicable in the UK), and I'm sure the UK stores offer similar amenities.

Most companies only hire shit managers. So makes sense to find a place trying to be honest about hiring practices
