Sainsburys thread MK ll

rejected ffs. does anybody know if you can apply again for a different department or not?

I think now is an appropriate time to say FML.

Hello Everyone !

I attended for Sainsburys interview for General assistant post at Emerson's green , Bristol , night shift and weekly 20hrs , the interview went very well which happened on May 7th at 9.30 pm , but i haven't heard anything from them till now ?

I and my other friend together attended the interview for the same post and same shift , but none of us got any reply ?

What are the chances of getting job in my case ?

Shall i give them a call ?

Advance thanks for any suggestions !

i mean id love to give less notice but i need the reference and erm, im sure id be entitled to some holiday pay right?

In March I was told I had 125 hours holiday for the year (20 hours/week contract). Im leaving Sainsburys at the start of September and by then I'll have have taken 100 of those hours (we got a new manager who completely f*cked up the scheduling and allowed everyone in our department to have whatever and whenever holidays we wanted... he lasted in the job a month lol). Im assuming they'll dock my last pay for taking so many hours in such a short period, but some people I know in HR says they cant do that?

I always assumed that was standard practice. To recover the money when you leave if you have had more holidays than you've earned. If they don't though, all the better for you.

I wish I had a manager like that. I was never given the leave I asked for. Only once did I put my foot down - that was for NY's day. I had to give up two or three other days to have that one though, by way of a compromise. To be honest, if they were more open to actually letting me have time off - eg, my graduation - there is every chance I would have stayed and not resigned.

Random question:
The till upgrades have taken away the quantity option, which is a bit of a pain to say the least. However, I noticed a member of staff - who is not a supervisor/team leader - was able to use it on the basket till. Is that normal?

I'm not sure if this has been asked recently, but what qualifies someone to get the annual bonus?

I've been there over 6 months now and wondering if because I joined quite late in the year whether I'll be entitled to it or not. Would be nice if I did get something but I can't see it to be honest

Yeh im expecting them to take off whatever hours I owe them when I leave, so if they dont its a bonus They brought back our old manager and he tried getting everyone to change their holidays, but we wouldnt bulge... it was all signed and approved lol

They really are a joke sometimes, trying to get hours off that you want... not whatever suits them. Its handy being in a small department though, swapping shifts is pretty easy, given enough time in advance. Plus anytime my manager says no to a day off, or when it came to negotiating my new contract hours, I just very gently remind him that I've not had even 1 sick day in 23 months working for them, plus all the overtime I've done... that usually does the trick lol Anyone else find they very quickly forget about favours you do for them?

No quantity key must suck. It makes no sense at all. We all have supervisor accounts in the PFS so we're still fine for it.

last year i joined in early october and i know the cut off point was something like october 15th. and i got half of the bonus. i dont know if theyre doing it this year, haevnt heard anything

Awww. If they are having a similar cut off point, I am going to miss it about about a week lol!

I started on the 28th August 2010, is it even that much you get?
