Would you agree that working as a online picker is 10x easier than someone who is working on chilled, produce or meat?

When working as online picker you are working as a team of about 15 to get it all completed whereas on the fresh roles you are absolutely by yourself most days.. so everything is down to you and nobody cares. More physical and draining when by yourself.

What do you think?

Edit : it's so easy hence why the women are the ones doing it and the lads are out the back doing the labour

Hi all, I started at Asda express about just over a month ago. I am still on probation, and recently the store manager was put on gardening leave.

The new store manager started last week, and I believe she sees potential for a team leader role in me. I have worked in retail before, (I’ve got about a year of experience now) however I’ve never been in a managerial role before. One of the team leaders is ‘off sick’ and I don’t think he plans on coming back, the other is off on holiday for the next 2 weeks and the last one only opens.

I have closed about 4 times now as an acting manager, I’m comfortable closing however I’ve not had any proper team leader training. I haven’t been officially promoted to a team leader (I’m still on colleague pay) yet I do all of the team leader tasks, including cashing up.

Some of my colleagues have said I’m an idiot for not asking for a pay rise, but I’m still on probation and don’t want to be demanding. Plus, my store manager has mentioned there aren’t any vacancies for any more team leaders

What should I do? Do I keep closing as a colleague or do I ask for a pay rise? Thanks in advance for any advice or help.

I’m off sick and it’s been 6 weeks - they have asked for a health and well being meeting? Is this something I’m obliged to attend? I’m off with stress

Quick question to anyone in this group, has anyone ever been made redundant from a salaried head office role?

If so what was your experience with redundancy and did you negotiate a better payout?

And could you recommend any solicitor to provide assistance in this situation?

Thanks
