r/asda

Hey, just wondering if its too late to make a grievance as I was verbally assaulted a couple of months ago by another colleague and I had to take time off as it affected me negatively (panic attacks, anxiety) and managers have taken their side and brushed it off as a 'disagreement anc wont do anything about it or even listen to oca health with my needs (supposed to have regular breaks due my back condition they dont allow me any) and wont move me departments.

Its making me feel more worthless and anxious each shift I do since returning.. even occ health said I should raise a grievance but I dont know how or if its too late or if itd even make a difference..

Hey

On the cleaning team, and I was checking every day on workday for internal vacancies. There was NONE.

my manager texts me she's got a new job in the company, one she clearly was given that's been completely made up as they're now taking hours from the remaining cleaners who have been left without a manager of any kind.

I'm going to see if her best friend who was also a cleaner has been given a job.

I haven't taken screenshots of the lack of internal vacancies. Do I have any kind of case against this favoritism? I'm absolutely done with being treated like dirt.

I work in an Asda express that used to be spar and my years service transferred over so my length of service is 10 years. Me and other colleagues have been treat horribly and I’m planning on giving rom my notice tomorrow but I don’t even wanna work the notice for them I just wanna leave. I have holidays I’ve accrued and haven’t used yet, can I hand in notice and say please use my accrued holidays for my 2 weeks notice?

This is genuinely not sad news to me because I really hated working at Asda - but I came in for a meeting with my manager, and basically he’s told me that they’re getting rid of seasonal staff, so my options are to transfer to the store near my uni so I can work during term time (this depends on vacancies- I just checked and they have none) or basically take the sack. I hadn’t realised beforehand that seasonal staff were being asked to leave or work more permanently (is this store dependent?) but (and I am in way religious) thank GOD I no longer (hopefully) have to work at Asda. 🙏🙏

Do you have colleagues, who take smoke breaks, along with there own entitled break

In my work place, there around 6 colleagues, who will a fly smoke break outside, for around 5 min's. And they will do this a few times in the day on there shift, and guess no one paying attention. So through out the day, these extra breaks add up to around 20/30 min's

Now if I was to ask for a extra break get told no, your break entitlement for your shift is 15 min's

​

This is something I genuinely struggle to understand.

We are hard-working people. We turn up, work our shifts, deal with customers, deliveries, pressure, targets, constant changes and often far more than anyone sees.

And yet I keep seeing colleagues becoming stressed, crying, feeling completely broken and even reaching the point where work starts affecting their mental health.

People complain to each other. People say, “This isn’t right.” People are exhausted and unhappy.

But when management walks in, everyone goes quiet.

Why?

Are we so afraid of losing our jobs, losing hours, being labelled “difficult” or being treated differently that we feel we have no choice but to accept everything?

And why do we so often face these situations alone, instead of standing together?

I’m not talking about causing trouble or refusing to work. I’m talking about workers respectfully saying:

“This is not reasonable. This is affecting people. Something needs to change.”

A company cannot function without the people doing the actual work.

So why are so many of those people scared to use their voice?

Have you ever spoken up at Asda about something you genuinely felt was wrong? What happened?

And if you’re someone who stayed silent because you were afraid of what might happen to you — why?

I’d really like to hear honest experiences from colleagues across the UK.

I'm a driver and don't want it, I haven't been there long but they have been taking more drivers on over the last month or so.

Why take them on and then send me this survey?

Do you think my store sent it to all drivers or just the ones they want out?

Yesterday I had to leave at the start of my shift due to my mother having a fall and breaking her femur, I'm due in today for a shift but would I be given wrong or dismissed if I don't go in? To note she's not dependent but I do live with her and my stepdad.

edit: They refused to let me have the day off due to not having anyone to cover me

Might just be nothing but Chinese whispers, but I’m hearing chatter about drivers and possible voluntary redundancies. Anyone heard similar?

Any other managers stupidly behind on their 1-1s, I only did my first colleague's second one yesterday

i had interview on saturday, got sent a background check and completed within the hour, and i still haven't heard back what should i do

Rumour of letters going out about online drivers will no longer have "fixed" days but their contracted hours will be fitted into any gaps in Rotas.

Letter going out stating a date of 13th September. The implications is we become "flexible" something like being a "driver buster" or "spare" or made redundant.

Anyone else heard this?
