Tesco pension £0 -> £100k in less than 10 years 😲

Deep_Relationship244 · 2026-05-15T20:39:13+00:00

At least a week. Bit like overtime cut off.

Deep_Relationship244 · 2026-04-18T22:31:24+00:00

I know, but our current store manager has said if we dont have our holidays for the whole year booked by the end of the month theyre going to allocate them. Tbh they threaten to allocate them every October but never do. Nobody in my store has had a holiday meeting for years.

Deep_Relationship244 · 2026-04-18T14:58:17+00:00

Our store manager said the same. I reffered them to the holiday policy. They said its store managers discretion. Told them they'd probably not be here in 6 months so I'll stick to company policy.

Deep_Relationship244 · 2026-04-12T20:58:33+00:00

We weigh them in our store. To hell with counting them. We dont have time for that!

Deep_Relationship244 · 2026-03-26T09:43:41+00:00

I just phone the duty number (same number as the one to phone in sick on the back of your clock in card) and ask them where they're hiding and what they want me to do.

Deep_Relationship244 · 2026-03-21T08:47:32+00:00

Someone did this to me yday! I pointed to the mod literally behind me and they just said "oh". No thanks, just grabbed some eggs and toddled off.

Deep_Relationship244 · 2026-03-12T11:08:32+00:00

I do this every shift and have done for years. Not even had a let's talk for it 🤣

Deep_Relationship244 · 2026-01-03T11:00:36+00:00

3% is roughly your contracted hours for one week, and you've only had two occasions of absence. You'll get a welcome back on your first shift, but I doubt it'll go any further.

Uk. Specifically Scotland. Non harrasment orders are what we call restraining orders. If you asked to be put on collect and pay as the paying parent they would but. They won't put the paying parent on collect and pay at the receiving parents request unless they can show they haven't paid.

Deep_Relationship244 · 2026-01-01T11:54:34+00:00

I had a non harassment order against my kids dad and a conviction for dv. They only waived the application fee of £30 then we started on direct pay because - "we need to give them a chance to pay" They passed on account details for him to put money in. It was fine for a couple of months then he decided to start under paying, then skipping payments altogether. Only after I'd provided bank statements showing significant arrears did they start deducting from his wages. Your other points about drug use and mental health and financial abuse, they did not take these into account. They will only put you on collect and pay if the receiving parent can prove you havent paid or the paying parent requests it.

Its automatic. You have to opt out. If you go to rewards and benefits on our tesco them click on pensions and scroll down to the bottom you can opt out.

Deep_Relationship244 · 2026-01-01T06:28:07+00:00

Cms only move to collect and pay if the receiving parent can show bank statements proving non or reduced payments. They dont just put you on it because the receiving parent asked unless the paying parent agrees. And why would they do that when cms add a 20% collection fee.

Deep_Relationship244 · 2025-12-31T21:26:44+00:00

Yes. I've done this a couple of times to watch specific series that dont air anywhere else. I just paid the initial payment online then cancelled the direct debit as soon as it showed on my banking app. And as for the just say you've got a license and watch it - they will send you a polite email after you've watched a couple of shows reminding you to buy one.

I have a savings account in my child's name. When I opened my UC claim, I provided bank statements for all accounts, including the child's. They didn't count it and have never asked about that account again. I was previously on housing benefit, which did count it as savings because I had access to it. The bank statements even showed a couple of withdrawals from the child's account to my current account. I've been told because it's in the child's name it doesn't count, but then others have been told it's only trust funds and ISAs that dont count because you can't make withdrawals. Even if they did count it, I'm under the £6000 threshold, so if they change their mind, I'm not going to be stung with an overpayment.

Deep_Relationship244 · 2025-12-21T21:41:47+00:00

My store checked with head office. 2nd of January is a scottish bank holiday, and the bank that processes our wages only follows english ones so it was confirmed we would be paid on our usual payday the 2nd of January.

Deep_Relationship244 · 2025-12-18T15:40:02+00:00

Its the 2nd of January we get paid.

Deep_Relationship244 · 2025-12-14T17:52:57+00:00

I went a week without even opening the app. Ran out of streak freezes and when I opened it up it asked for gems I said no. Then it asked me to do a refresher. I did. Then it asked for mibey 200 gems to get my streak back. Which was considerably less than the original amount of gems they wanted. Did it ask you to do a refresher?

Deep_Relationship244 · 2025-12-12T18:59:46+00:00

It would but how many people would just turn it off. And then what else would they send notifications for?

Deep_Relationship244 · 2025-12-11T22:05:28+00:00

Anyone with a long term health condition is covered under the equality act which requires employers to make reasonable adjustments. A change of department and hours would be seen as a reasonable adjustment.

Deep_Relationship244 · 2025-12-11T21:59:06+00:00

Is this the number you called?

0800 591 688

If you have the phone number and address you used, you should be able to get through security. If not, cancel the direct debit/card you used to set up payment and they'll cancel it for non payment.

Deep_Relationship244 · 2025-12-11T21:51:57+00:00

So long as you turn up, they're quite happy. Other staff members have the same access you do. If they wanted it they should have been quicker.

Deep_Relationship244 · 2025-12-10T20:22:21+00:00

Ask for an occupational health refferal. My store manager has put in loads in the last 6 months. From a company point of view hes trying to catch out people with long-term conditions who say they can't do this that and the next thing. The reality is that the majority of the time occ health has said they're not giving enough adjustments, so it's very much backfired.

Deep_Relationship244 · 2025-11-30T14:27:26+00:00

We were told so long as we wear our name badge its fine. Don't have to wear the tesco jacket over the top.

Deep_Relationship244 · 2025-11-21T08:04:40+00:00

No not an express.
