Does anyone know why I have to login in everytime I open the app without fail? Every time I open it I have to type out my full email and password which is honestly just annoying and every time I also press 'Yes' to the 'Stay logged in?' pop up and also tick the 'Don't show again'. Is this an app glitch that can be solved or just something I need to deal with? This has been happening for 2 months since I started.
I’ve been working at sainsburys for like 7 months now and I’m getting really tired of the rudeness from other members of staff the side eyes the no thank you or hellos when I’ve spoken to you it’s just fucking rude and not to mention the constant rolling of eyes or tuts like if u can’t respect ppl or dont wanna do your job don’t work in retail especially if u can’t respect your colleagues ur doomed in life. sorry i just had to get this out somewhere as im so tired of it to the point im genuinely thinking of looking for a new job just because of the members of staff atp
Since it's We're Listening time again and people are asking the usual "What's the point, nobody's listening" questions, I thought I'd explain the part of We're Listening that managers actually pay attention to: Engagement Score. If you're new to the company many large companies use a similar measure, so it's worth learning about.
What is "Engagement Score", and why do they care about it?
Most people don't realize that it comes from just two questions, and there's some research backing it.
That's all. Just those two questions determine the score you see on the poster. It's not a percentage. A score of 70 doesn't mean 70% of colleagues are happy. It means, on a scale of 1-5, the average rating on those questions was 3.8/5. A store can be a mixed bag of miserable and happy and still score 70. The formula used is (Avg - 1)*25 if anyone wants to test it out.
Why is it important?
Because Glint\Microsoft "claim" that based on their research those two questions are a strong predictor of employee turnover and business performance in the coming year. That's the most important thing about the score. If this "engagement index" gets too low it's a potential warning that turnover will be high and business performance impacted.
If it stays around the same or goes up there's not a lot of incentive to address employee problems.
Comments don't contribute to the engagement score, and sometimes aren't even visible to stores. All other questions might help to explain the engagement score, but they don't contribute to it.
So why should anyone care?
Well, it's your workplace and understanding how it all works is useful if you want to have an impact on what happens there. Whether you think it's a waste of time or worthwhile, at least you know what the number on the poster means and why it matters.
Some people will refuse to fill it out as a form of protest, which is understandable. However, not responding doesn't count as a negative response, and a lack of participation is to be expected.
It just means your opinion isn't included in the overall Engagement Score.
Hope this gives people a better understanding!
If I sign to say I'm available on a Monday evening, for example, say I join a football club and I'm no longer available to work monday evenings can I tell management I've changed my mind?
26 drops in a 6 hour shift, something like this happens probably twice a month.
What would you do in this situation?
I am autistic and not sure of what to say initially, and then how to respond to the pressure of the managers so looking to get an idea of how others would handle this situation.
Can anyone explain why milk bottles pop and leak on a daily basis? The amount I deliver and have had to refund and then clean the totes when I get back to the store is endless.
Honestly, it's daily and so annoying. Is it cheap plastic from the suppliers or is it even the milk just being thrown in a tote instead of placed?
Not blaming anyone, just curious because it's every shift without fail.
I’m wondering what it’s like at other shops during the night shift, at my shop there’s a group of colleagues who just shout and swear at managers and they will shout and swear back or they are flirting or messing around is this like this at every shop or are there normal night shifts out there? I’m quite new so not sure if this is normal or not I’ve never worked somewhere where it’s like this
Please tell me how can I stop my pension
Hello,
I have an interview for night shift later this week, however, it’s at 10:00 pm! The store closes at this time, and while of course I will get there early, I just want to make sure I know what to expect.
After looking through this thread I have an idea of what kinds of questions they will ask me, but any and all advice will be appreciated! Do I wear business casual to the interview?
Also, I just moved to my town a few months ago and don’t really know anyone, in my former jobs I’ve always appreciated getting to know my colleagues, is night shift usually just putting your head down and getting the work done?
TIA!
Hey folks, starting st sainsburys soon as a driver and just had a few questions. Worked at a few other supermarkets before and was working at Ocado until last week, so not new to this work.
Main questions are
how long do you get to complete checks before going out on route? Always found in other work places it was like 10 mins which is a bit tight. Probably will come in 15 mins early to give a bit of breathing room even though its unpaid.
if you are running early, are you allowed to deliver early to a customer with their permission? Is there a time range? For example, at Asda it was no more than 15 mins, ocado was 1 hour early.
how are the managers if you end up running late while out on route? Not something that stresses me to much. Shit happens and id obviously inform customers/store and finish all the drops, but could do without a little Gaddafi back at store hounding me about it. Guess it probably varies between store?
How many drops is average per shift?
