They were all informed yesterday that they will be losing their jobs if they don't 'buck their ideas up'.'"
If true (the last bit) that is terrible, not least because Aldi are doing so well.
Our local Aldi is really doing well and has taken money off the nearby Morrisons.
But perhaps the parent company are meanies after all.
At Christmas all the staff of our Aldi dressed up festively. I asked if this was a company initiative and was told that it was and that in the true spirit of Christmas each member of staff had had to pay for their own costumes.
Nice! |

I was told that I would have to return and speak to the area manager who apparently visits twice weekly.
Asked for a contact number but it wasn't forthcoming so left mine and said I would be returning.'"
I've forwarded a link to this thread to Aldi head office.
Actually, I haven't. That would be almost as sad as you actually popping into Aldi.
Or have I?
Maybe I have.
BTW, I thought it was common knowledge Aldi are the supermarket version of RyanAir. That said, as far as I'm aware they pay pretty well in comparison to their competitors and offer generous graduate management schemes. But they definitely make you work for every penny. |

More FlyBe, not the best in the world but by no means the worst.
Quote: Cronus "That said, as far as I'm aware they pay pretty well in comparison to their competitors and offer generous graduate management schemes.
I understand this is correct they also recruit managers from within too meaning it is still possible to start on the shop floor and end up running one.
Quote: Cronus "But they definitely make you work for every penny.'" '"
Its the same right across retail not just the discounters.
For what its worth I'd say the the store manager has had his backside kicked by the area manager/head office and is taking it out on the staff, it is really his job to weed out the poor workers rather than attack his whole team like that. |

Ahh cod'ead, I had been warned about you, that you were a cantankerous and repellant old man. Considering you choose to call me an idiot, I can safely say the warnings were right. No wonder the rlfans forums have gone down hill with now only about 3 people posting each day, with people like you around.
Anyway, To answer your question, No, i am not privvy to the shareholders list of walmart. Considering it is listed on the stock exchange, I am assuming that a list of shareholders would be quite colossal. Again, i see no problem with trying to keep the shareholders happy to the detriment of the workers as they will never have a problem filling staff vacancies. The main aim of a company afterall is to maximise shareholder wealth.

Given that the Walton family own over 50% of the stock and are seeking to buy back even more, I'd suggest that WalMart exists to keep the Waltons in clover and at thr detriment of their employees. But that's OK with you? Righto |

You can forward whatever you like sunshine.
Does it stick in your throat that some may benefit from protection and representation from an over-zealous and aggressive employer?
Would you have me shackled and transported around the world? |
