this is Ed's story...he works for a tesco's in Manchester and is working his way up to team leader.
Hi, I am Ed...i am 25 years old and i'm a soon-to-be team leader at a manchester branch. I will keep this short and sweet for now as i'm just about to do some overtime but the long and short of my story is this.
i am sick of the shallow elistist managment that runs quicker than water in out store. it has taken me more than 3 years to make team leader...where certain ladies who twiddle their hair and make eyes at the big men get promotion after promotion. what do i have to do to get higher in this god-damn company? have a sex change and make blatent passes at my boss?
or maybe i should just turn into one of the "old boys network" and spend my lifetime on the golf course with them.
maybe i have more morals, or maybe i'm just stupid...maybe our store is the only one with this favouritistic mentality. whatever the case..i wish it'd stop. either that or hand in a transfer request.
don't believe the hype, kids...tescos ISN'T equal ops, and it certainly isn't promotion for hard work. not in my store. and not in a few others, i believe...so don't you DARE complain about the service. you try working your arse off for crap pound an hour and no prospects and still be expected to deliver the "every little helps" experiance.
yeah, every little helps...if you have long eyelashes or a golf club.
Ed.

Tesco's Are Taking Over The World. They're Killing Your Cornershops, Taking All Your Money, Conning You Into Believing They Are Cheap...They Are No Longer A Supermarket...They're A BRAND. The Staff Are The Poor Robots Who Just Want A Paycheck..But They're The Ones Who Pay For Tesco's Inability To Look After It's Customers. I Present To You...Don't Blame Me! I'm Just A Sales Assistant! This Is What Days/Nights In The Life Of A Tesco's Worker Are Really Like.
About Me
- The Iced Fox
- if you have a story you want to share about working for tesco's, email me at theicedfox@hotmail.co.uk and i will read it and put it up here.
we need you!
fat cat bosses who run rings around the staff with text book knowledge, shallow managers who drive out the hard workers for not fitting their bill, team leaders who sleep their way to the top, customers who shout at the wrong people for sod all reason, lazy people being left to do nothing all shift because they're 'yes men', values awards being given out to everyone except you, underhand management fiddling with lifts, waste or anything else...
if this goes on in your store...then let your opinion be heard!
tesco's sales are going up whilst their staff moral is going down...this needs to stop. the people that make tesco what they are today are the real people who graft all day to make sure customers get what they want. not the men in suits behind the office door.
we bust a gut to make sure everything is on the shelf, or that at the till you are made to feel welcome. this is programmed into us. in return...we get poor pay, abuse for things out of our control, and very little praise from our management. this also needs to stop.
this blog may offend, it may shock...if that is so...then good. the reason behind this blog is so that the world can see the real life behind the doors of tescos. the real internal politics that drive a lot of our staff off work with stress. the bullying, the favourtism, the sexism, the homophobia...and that's just among staff.
if we can't do something for you, the customer, or you don't like a rule...these decisions were not ours...but if we don't carry out the rules then WE get it in the neck.
the fear, the anger, the upset that we experiance at the tills due to customer abuse is horrific. especially of a night time.
so please...read this with an open mind. the truth is out now.
together we can change things; together we can mold a working enviroment to be enjoyed. let's do it!
and finally...
all opinions expressed on this site are soley those of whoever each entry belongs to and is not in any way meant to be an attempt to say this is the general opinion of all tesco staff or the general public.
The Iced Fox would also like to make it known that this site has no connection with the company itself.
