ASDA reviews

Low pay for the job we actually do. Section leaders get the stresses of a department manager in the new management structure for 65p more an hour than colleagues get, the extra stress and working 60 hours a week just isn't worth it!! Development within stores seem to have halted to a stand still with all the displaced managers taking any and all the remaining manager jobs going. Being promised development and promotions and it just seems they are fake promises to keep the section leaders happy!!

Right! Where do I start? Things on the nightshift have got worse by the day over the last year especially. There is staff leaving all the time and they don't get replaced. The extra slack is obviously picked up by the remaining staff. The company are squeezing us to the point everyone feels like giving up. The moral has gone so low that after being around everyone after only an hour of starting work you feel the need to run for miles. The company honestly doesn't care about the nightshift in the slightest. They also closed the canteen down for us (but not on days) which is a massive blow for many of us who loved a hot meal to help get through the shift, especially when we have more work to do than our skeleton staff can cope with. Not had a one to one or anything of the like in over 4 years. The pay was fine in my opinion but as things have got so bad now I feel the money isn't even close to being worth it. Can't really bring myself to do overtime anymore as I'm just too tired. When my days off come round it's really hard to switch to get Into day mode in order to see daylight, family/friends, get to places before they close like banks, hairdressers etc. really isn't an easy way of living life so when you're only getting paid so much and things have gotten so bad it's just not worth it anymore. I'll admit I'm having a rant here but don't be mistaken in thinking I'm alone in feeling like this, as it truly is mirrored in every colleague in my store on nights. I'd happily go on and on but as always...I'm too tired and can't be bothered. It's not like someone high up is going to read this and think things need to be improved. They'll just think I'm an ungrateful colleague who should be thankful I have a job. Maybe that's true but as I said I used to be happy over the years but now I'm far from it. So yeah it's gone st.
