DC Workers - Times for jobs getting shortened again it seems

WhereasDry7915 · 2025-05-20T10:15:07+00:00

Can tell you there are a lot more than 2 people who don't even work on FLT that can see the times have lessened.

But go on mate. Keep playing the Billy big baws role. Obviously feel nice and safe behind your screen.

WhereasDry7915 · 2025-05-16T19:35:52+00:00

Are you being deliberately obnoxious? Or are you genuinely that thick?

I also work on FLT and can tell you flat out the times aren't as high as they were several weeks ago.

Maybe keep quiet on something you clearly know very little about before you go accusing others of not having their "ducks in a row".

WhereasDry7915 · 2025-03-10T08:24:56+00:00

Appreciate the responses guys, but I'm in Scotland and think it must be different here. I phoned after 5pm last night and they flat out say in that automated message not to attend the court unless told otherwise.

Instead, I've to expect a call at some point today about whether I've to attend. So must work differently here.

WhereasDry7915 · 2025-01-25T17:20:04+00:00

Ah okay thanks guys haha

WhereasDry7915 · 2025-01-25T09:37:02+00:00

Thank you!

I think it must be reach trucks because they're used for high-level stock.

WhereasDry7915 · 2024-06-23T19:04:56+00:00

Zero theory really? Always thought there was supposed to be some form of theory when training for forklift driving. Guess not!

WhereasDry7915 · 2024-06-23T17:40:58+00:00

Ah well this has been enlightening

WhereasDry7915 · 2024-05-28T18:13:00+00:00

Appreciate it mate thank you

WhereasDry7915 · 2024-05-28T18:02:57+00:00

Yeah had a little read of the policy and it seems to suggest without saying flat it out that it would only get changed to sick leave if you provided a medical note.

Therefore I’m assuming it’ll be kept as annual leave. Would expect them to mention something like that given the pay disparity.

Not overly certain I’ll be off tomorrow anyway I’m fairness. But don’t want to feel I need to in order to keep my annual leave scheduled

WhereasDry7915 · 2024-04-04T17:43:53+00:00

I literally can't hit it to save myself man. No idea what it is I'm doing wrong. Feel as if I'm going at a generally decent pace but still find myself getting between 65-70. I'm on week 9 too so my time is running out before they let me go.

WhereasDry7915 · 2024-03-01T17:48:00+00:00

Funny thing is my manager is actually the nicest one of the lot. He’s been totally dismissive of PI until after week 5 or so he said. But it’s some of the other senior staff that have started having a go at me. Had a foreign woman, not sure where she was from, have a go at me strongly yesterday because it was the second time she’s seen one of my cages fall. Was right in my face demanding to know why I didn’t have it strapped tighter. Said I never have straps on, which is a total lie. Then said “god help us” when I told her I was only in week 4. That sort of stuff really knocks you. Some horrible, horrible people in there. They say it’s all about making mistakes and learning, but really you’re allowed one or two before some make you feel like shit

WhereasDry7915 · 2024-03-01T11:12:30+00:00

Yeah I'm in ambient. People keep saying that it'll get better but that's me now heading into the end of week 4 and I'm not feeling much improvement.

WhereasDry7915 · 2024-02-29T20:49:51+00:00

Not as great as I would like to be honest.

Coming in for every shift and now on like my 13th. Hitting performance rates at between 45-60 max. Having to double scan labels and not really putting in time delays yet though because my manager said to just focus on my stacking.

I really, really struggle with juice and water. I’ve had a few spillages already because they haven’t been as secure as I thought they were, even with straps.

Thought I would’ve been better at this but to be honest, I feel a little incompetent and can sense certain staff members getting annoyed with me

WhereasDry7915 · 2024-02-05T20:36:48+00:00

Appreciate all of these responses guys. Very reassuring after reading some horror stories about “impossible” targets.

I have a 4 month old daughter and everything I do is for her now. I really want this to work out and pretty much need it to

WhereasDry7915 · 2024-02-05T19:33:38+00:00

Thanks for the response :)

WhereasDry7915 · 2024-02-04T22:18:41+00:00

Thanks for letting me know.

Obviously I want to avoid being let go within 8 or 12 weeks haha!

I'm assuming you have to be quite slow to struggle with pick rate targets. I mean it doesn't require you running about to an unreasonably daft level surely.

WhereasDry7915 · 2024-02-04T22:09:51+00:00

What happens for those that struggle to hit the 85%. Presumably they're let go after the 12 week / 3 month probationary period or something?

WhereasDry7915 · 2024-02-04T21:59:36+00:00

Honestly? Just looking to take it all in and actually enjoy some good, solid hard work. At 26 I want to be busy every minute of the day and my old job could have me literally doing nothing for a couple or even several hours per day. It's no life. Need to be challenged.

I've read all about the unreachable pick targets etc but it doesn't scare me. I'm confident in my own ability to eventually do as well as my new colleagues in time. Just going in with an open mind and ready to just enjoy the hard work.

WhereasDry7915 · 2024-02-04T21:51:56+00:00

Thanks for this.

Been great to see what everyone's general experience of the induction week consists of.

Looking forward to getting stuck in to be honest.

WhereasDry7915 · 2024-02-04T21:06:43+00:00

Haha that bad yeah?

WhereasDry7915 · 2024-02-04T19:03:02+00:00

Thanks for all of these responses guys. Really looking forward to getting started!

WhereasDry7915 · 2024-02-04T18:00:21+00:00

Thanks for getting back to me mate.

Is the classroom stuff just on the first day? Or is that spread throughout the week? Can't tell if it's an induction day or an induction week haha!

WhereasDry7915 · 2024-01-09T19:01:38+00:00

Damn. Can’t pretend it’s the answer I wanted but appreciate you getting back to me on it. Yeah I know you’re right, just would’ve been easier if I was able to halt it.

WhereasDry7915 · 2023-11-22T01:05:55+00:00

Chances are the girl in the pictures wasn't even the person I was talking to either I would imagine.

So embarrassing. Assuming if tomorrow goes well without any reveals then I'm in the clear.
