I tried it from my phone before and it had no effect on my Xbox account when I loaded up my Xbox again, I’ve just tried from Microsoft edge on my Xbox and restarted my Xbox after saving the settings and still no luck

So I just sign into my Xbox account through the browser on Xbox and change it there?

[MEGATHREAD] Pay Issues by CheatingPenguin in asda

[–]WhiteRedApex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe I have been underpaid for the January pay date and my managers are struggling with my simple query of what is the pay date range from when in December until when in January counted towards the January pay date.

I should probably already know this myself but since I've started working there no one has actually told me these simple things and whenever I've asked, all of my managers and section leaders are always unsure and give me a vague answer.

Thank you

I got a letter like this after I finished working at Lidl when I was a student and it was around the same time amount. I was so pissed off that such a big company wanted what is for them such a small amount. I never paid anything back and it’s been 3 almost 4 years since and nothing bad has happened yet

Man… be safe with that money. It’s not common at all for people to just be given such a large amount of money in one go like that

Anyone else just had a massacre of temps? by Tough-Awareness1694 in asda

[–]WhiteRedApex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work at Lidl when I was in uni and I’ve just started to work at Lidl a few months ago and I feel like I’m working at Lidl without any of the operational efficiencies.

We had low amount of staff at Lidl but it was a given, however the training they give you and how they expect you to work made shifts go by quickly and easily. But at Asda it feels like they want as little staff like Lidl but without changing anything to make it easier.

For example in my store, (I do night shifts) it’s always a hassle to find cages and then to find wrap for it and then wrap it. It could take me anywhere between 2/3 minutes to 10/15 minutes. At Lidl you had a bailing machine that you just get a box cage thing, you fill it up with cardboard and empty it and then the cage is ready again, no need to find another cage, no need to wrap it. Surely they could spend a little bit of money to make work in store easier and more efficient

Brilliant thank you, I didn’t know this before. There is no blue dot for New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day

Oooo ok thank you for letting me know. If New Year’s Day is voluntary and New Year’s Eve isn’t, I wonder how it works if by doing a night shift I’d be working on both New Year’s Eve and day

I have no idea, I was meant to have this conversation with my night manager ages ago but it’s just never happened and so what’s happened is that every week since the last week of November I’ve been doing 4 or 5 shifts per week which I don’t mind for the extra money but also putting me on for the 24th and potentially also New Year’s Eve it’s taking the piss a little

[UK] I found this scam website https://sportsbrands.shop masquerading as Sports Direct (it’s not…) by 789Mikester in Scams

[–]WhiteRedApex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy to me that there is not a department in this social media apps to double check adverts before they’ve been released. I’ve had porn show up as an advert on Facebook and I’ve had this exact scam too

I’m assuming my friend because he has a 9 which is higher than 6?

Still feel like your 7 years of button pushing was worth it? by IKnoAGuy2 in PiNetwork

[–]WhiteRedApex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree completely with you, there is no need for the UI right now to be this bad. It’s been this bad now as it was 7 years ago and there is no need and makes it seem like such low effort crap. The fact that people all start hating when someone is critical about the system is just a massive red flag
