The Waitrose Thread II

Hey I’ve been working night shift for 3+ months
And pretty much on your first official night ( IMO in my branch ) we had to sit and do all our training prior to starting shift ( this took HOURSSSS) afterwards we were introduced to the night team and put down different isles ( to replenish stock) once all the work was done we went “ picking “ ( getting customers orders on chilled, ambient, produce and chilled ) I started working during a busy period so I learn to “ pick” ASAP this could happen to you OR you could be bagging ( such a chore lol ) or rolling the warehouse ( putting out even more stock longggg) after all is said and done you will put customers orders upstairs ready for the morning, and then you will face up ( turning all the stock forward and making it look neat) since your time rolls into 9am you may be racking away ( putting all the stock you did in the early hours back onto its allocated space in the warehouse ) you will be given all the proper log in details for workday when you arrive next week. GOOD LUCK!!) you will enjoy it xx

Thank you so much for replying! I must say I’m really anxious . I have been at my previous job for 15 years and having to be closed for the best part of a year through covid I have had to look for something else ! You have eased my mind a bit so I really do appreciate your message . Thanks 😊

You’re very welcome !!
honestly I was so worried myself but everyone made me feel welcome and I’m hoping it’s the same experience you for <3 the night shift goes by sooooo quickly until it’s the last hour -.- Good luck ! You can always message me if you need anything else xx

Hey!

Does anyone know what Waitrose are like with unpaid leave? I’m trying to plan a gap year and I really want to keep my role there! Thanks

Hey,

can’t speak for every branch but my one is really good and understanding they left the spot open for this woman who has been off for 6 months, they try to hold your spot open for as long as possible but they may eventually fill it if they need more people on your shift. good luck

Hi - I got a job offer today and accepted on the jobs website. I haven't been asked to complete the medical questionnaire yet and there is no tasks outstanding for me to complete. Should I be worried?

Hi. It was a couple of weeks before I was emailed anything after accepting a job . Did they give you a start date ?

Hey, No don’t he worried they will be in touch soon for you to complete all the necessary requirements Congratulations

Me again ! Another question. My 30 day review is almost upon me . What can I expect from this and any tips ect to get through it 😬

Hey, your 30 day review it just a chat with your manager there’s no right or wrong ! He/ she/ they will ask you how you think you are getting on, what you want or achieve in the next 30 days so by your 90days they can make you a partner and they may just tell you a couple of things it’s a nice easy chat very relaxing x
