Obviously, with Tesco failing to track the price changes, the stores have had to set-up their own trackers – the concern is that no-where near the expected quantity of labels had been sent,  many departments have completed some price verification routines today on affected areas,  we have recieved faxes of paperwork showing PV routines showing price discrepancies of more than 67% on one mod alone! – i.e over half of  all price labels on one area alone is incorrect!!,  Compliance managers are concerned that Tesco’s Head Office have managed to pass the problem to stores and that all the flak will be directed at the PI departments rather than the H/O staff responsible for this farce!!

“Traders are required to display clearly their prices inclusive of VAT. For a period up to 14 days, they are permitted under the Price Marking Order 2004 (SI 2004/102) to let consumers know, by way of a general notice, that an adjustment in price, to take account of the VAT change, will be made at the till.”

The Order was amended in December to give 28 days for price changes.”

THIS DOES NOT GIVE TESCO’s THE RIGHT TO OVERCHARGE DUE TO POOR PRICE INTEGRITY HEAD OFFICE POLICIES.

We look forward to recieving more details from you all in the next week!!

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!!
