Word has reached us of a number of Personel Managers working for Tesco are in talks with their Union and are already taking legal advice after being forced to apply for the new deputy manager role or simply work part-time.
Personel Managers may hold the key to blowing the sharp practices, present in most Tesco Stores wide open. Among the most interesting are the changes in Managers reviews, all of a sudden more and more managers are recieving Red or Amber reviews, this results in the managers concerned, not recieving the full pay increase. Which matches perfectly Tescos usually underhanded methods – they can announce the pay increases, in the knowledge that unfair reviews will ensure that many managers will not recieve them.
Tesco’s own policy is to offer support as soon as anything other than a green review is recieved…..this should include day to day coaching, constant feedback and clear, tangible targets. We know that this is not happening but would love to hear from Personel Managers with some more clear examples.
Additionally, only Senior Team managers with Green reviews are eligible for applying for the Deputy positions, effectively ensuring Tescos have already picked many of the Deputies, and condemming some senior team, who have recieved a amber or red (some whom have never got anything but a green before, and were shocked to get anything else!) in their last review, to a 10K pay decrease and forcing them to step down or move to the express format.
Yet still the mainstream media refuses to acknowledge this whole affair…… proof that money really does talk!!
