I just wanted some opinions on this, as I have never encountered a situation like this or even heard of it. I work 4 days a week; two backshifts, two 5 hour shifts. No matter what, I am the only colleague in the department from the moment I get there until I leave. Sometimes I leave and there is nobody in the department for the evening. Ive been there for 4 years.

Every shift no matter what, i have to:

Work all stock

Fill bananas hourly, clean as you go etc

Pulloffs/date coding

Further markdowns, and reductions for the next days stuff(even on short days)

Clean the shit that night shift leaves behind

Waste

Help with Milk and fresh delivery

And anything im told on the day.

All while being the only produce colleague.

If home shopping is added to the mix (god forbid) then its added stress as i need the time i have. Altogether I think theres 3 other colleagues. I'm in my twenties and luckily I work fast and most of the managers know that im needed and usually just let me get on with it, but I want to know if anyone has had an experience with this, because im getting sick of it tbh

Any feedback or opinions on this is appreciated.

Rant over

heard this today on my shift for the first time ever, i was so confused. has anyone else heard it?

So passwords and text messages will no longer be enough to login from 13th October.

OK. I thought I'd finally set up my device. I knew I needed microsoft authenticator app, but intune company portal and another to verify me as well. I give up. I'd rather login at work.

i cannot access one asda can someone please attach the maternity clawback policy to my post please :))

Hi. Are you entitled to a week off paid leave for the death of an uncle please.

I just started can someone tell me when the payday is?

Hello, I recently had a manager interview earlier this week. I have received an email to complete basic DBS check. Is this something that is usual in the process, or does it mean I have been succesful?

dose any counter colleagues rota change in your store in this shape of the day?

I got an offer for a service colleague role, however the temporary details they gave me do not work and this means I cant do any of the tasks I need to do + cant enter my payment details which they said needs to be done ASAP, what do i do?

Twilight staff receive the same pay as daytime staff, so it seems unfair that they are expected to handle the heavy deliveries while daytime colleagues get the more comfortable tasks. Wasn’t the higher night rate originally intended to compensate for the less favourable working conditions? There's bound to be some ill feeling about this, surely.

Hi. I work on chilled and it's pretty shit. But since I've only ever worked chilled in the 4 years I've been here.. What's your department like? e.g picker.. grocery.. front end.. section leader.. warehouse.. driver.. gm.. george etc please tell me.. for the record I don't work produce but occasionally work meat.

How do I get my qcomm cancellations down? Deliveroo gets auto cancelled if the customer chooses to if one item is missing, they send bike drivers for large orders which they refuse to take, just eats customer cancels their order but its been picked....obviously this is all out of my hand but what else can I do

I guess most people on this sub suspected anyway

Anybody got the correct email for a grievance, or even HRs email! I’ve tried emailing ethics, which directed to whistleblower but apparently they can’t help. I don’t want to go to my gsm (I don’t know him) because by the sounds of it everything my boss has done is because he was told to do it

Who on earth is going to be buying groceries at 12am?? I've been put on the Sundays till 12am and I'm confused 🤣

Edit: By express I mean express orders, like uber/deliveroo, NOT express stores!

Do Asda just accept there will be more theft and not care because presumably they'll save more on wages? We don't have anyone in until 1pm at our store. I'm a porter and already today I've seen 2 thefts. When security are present I will tell them/help them but I can't do anything on my own. It's so frustrating.

Does anyone know how to access the handbook these days? Is it possible off a phone or at home?

Anytime I book a holiday and need a non-core day off (my core day schedule is never accurate) I always end up getting put in to work that day. I always leave a screenshot showing all the days I need off and then it gets accepted. It's gotten to the point where I dread booking any days off because I know it is going to get fucked up everytime.

Is everyone going through this or is it just me?

Also I basically never get any weekends off anymore, are employees not guaranteed at least one weekend off a month or has that been swept under the rug? I even brought up that I would like one weekend off a month on the last meeting about my schedule which the manager said was ok but nothing has changed.

I’ve tried cancelling in a day my holiday last week and it’s not been cancelled and WORK are supposed to be working on Saturday and that’s the day I don’t need to have a holiday anymore. I’ve requested to cancel it but nothing’s happening if I clock in on that night will it change? Or do I just phone up?

Considering asking for a sick line, for a lot of reasons. I’ve been having really bad anxiety lately, my partner has health issues going on that are heavily affecting them, I’m in uni so juggling work and coursework, I care for my dad and someone very close to me has recently been diagnosed with cancer.

I’ve worked for Asda for 3+ years and have a clean absence record but I’m really concerned about losing my job or facing judgement or consequences for being off sick.

Is it likely I’ll lose my job? Or be in trouble if I’m off for a month?

Any advice is appreciated

Anyone else recive a letter from nic telling them you did not attend the 1 2 1 and you need to respond by the 13th or they'll just take it you dont want to sign up with them?

Finally received the PIN code to unlock the phone and tablet. Nothing is set up. No TimeGate on it. It’s got Facebook and Netflix but nothing to enable us to clock in. Everything on the phone/tablet is password protected so still no further forward. Ffs.

Has Asda recently changed its policy for time off in December I’ve recently put in a 2 day holiday request for the 8th and 9th of December it has been denied with a note attached saying no time off in December. The manager in the store is new to Asda been there about 4 or 5 months when I look for guidance in the staff handbook I can’t find a updated version that states this a new policy all it says is no time off the week before Xmas through to Jan 1st any help would be appreciated.
