SimonG Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 A friend of my wife has just completed 15 years working at Tesco. She has just received a long service award from the company, :nana::nana: The award is 750........................points equal to £7.50 to be spent at Tesco. She is so overcome by the magnitude of this award, she has had to go and lie down in a darkened room for an hour. It`s nice to know after 15 years of loyal service, she`s worth £7.50, she is truly overcome with emotion and grattitude. If only other companies were so generous. You know their mantra...Every LITTLE Helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShamelessTT Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Giving someone £7.50 is a total insult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I once got given a £20 christmas voucher for Unwins, which was particularly nice since the company was aware of the fact that I didn't drink.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 that is a complete p*ss take. i hope she gave them a piece of her mind. At JLewis after you have worked there for 20yrs you get 6 months paid holiday. Not bad eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave17 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Yep, but John Lewis is the God of the retail sector, having worked for the JLP for the last 6 years they really are a top group to work for. After 5 years they gave me £50 gift vouchers and some serious quantity of beer from the branch. Can't forget the bonus we get which is a percentage based on profit across the partnership of your total earnings in the year. 18% last year.

Safely Insured Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 In my previous job I used to project manage Barclays long term service award programme.. 10 Years = £100 gift (s) from a catalogue 25 years = £250 gift from a catalogue 35 years = £500 gift from a catalogue It was quite amusing offering a chap who had recently had a £120K bonus a mountain bike worth £100... especially when the postage to get it out to his pad in Monaco was more than the bike was worth! Thankfully he also found it quite amusing. Ollie Sky Insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3LL Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 My mum, worked for our local tesco from 1983 right through to 2006 when she had to retire on ill health, she got a certificate at fifteen years service and a bouquet of flowers when she retired. to best of my knowledge she didnt even get the points.. robbing tw@ts! She passed away earlier this year though, mind, they were good enough to stop her pension and therefor reduce my dads monthly income by a fair wack.. just what he needed! Tesco.. Every little helps.

RedM Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Im sure she would have preferred a couple of pints of milk, some tea bags and a loaf. For £7.50? It's Tesco not bleedin' Aldi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benkei Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Did she get the choice between the 750 points, and a poke in the eye with a sharp stick? Did they ensure the door hit her on the way out and then spit on her as she left? Cheap b******s! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEERSHZ Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 That is pitiful, I'd give them it back.
