Lidl

[molly 2]

Then you`ve clearly never been hard up or had to do without.

What the hell do you know

 

[trixie88]

Maybe they should double the price of the food in their stores then they can give the staff a couple of thousand quid bonus

maybe cut shareholders dividends etc.......supermarkets have made ££££££££ in profits during pandemic.....

A couple of years ago several supermarkets where struggling and paying no or little dividends, should we also go back and give .gov money for the 'hard time'?

I expect any more could affect the share holders bonuses.

Unlike UK companies German shareholders see the business more long term and reinvest profits rather than bleeding the thing dry before getting rid of it.

We are surrounded by them. Does not matter which way we go we pass one. Why they need them so close I don't know. We had a Co-Op Superstore that they closed because it was driving the prices down at their smaller stores. This then turned into a Waitrose which was very nice and good quality but a little pricy. After three years they decided that it was not making enough profit. Not really surprised as it had 138 staff. It was then sold to Lidl who have altered it and it has a few other businesses in the same unit. The store will probably be run by a hand full of staff.

Just bought my lunch at Lidl;

"I hear you're getting a £200 bonus"

"Yeah, brilliant isn't it"

That tells me all I need to know

 

[Tookey]

I am very fortunate, this is the company I work for. I think Phil will let this stay as I doubt any of you are looking at tenders for building Health Centres or cleaning contracts etc

If you have enough to enjoy that choice then good on you but if your scratching around to put bread on the table then money coming, whatever the job is welcome. When the company I worked for went bust I walked the industrial estates knocking on every door and was happy to take anything on offer. I ended up delivering Viagra to pharmacies in a hundred mile radius twice a day six days a week. I was doing someone some good I suppose

That’s what I call hard up .....

 

[trevskoda]

That's sounds like one store with a particularly bad manager, Trev.

A good working environment always depends on who's in charge on the individual premises as much as whole company ethos.

Most here are like that, English managers treat workers here like scum and pay a fraction of wages they would at home, £150 a week is the norm.

 

[Tezza33]

I have made double that in 5 mins flipping a car.

You should drive more slowly around corners Trev

upstanding guy

I would have been happy to have a £200 bonus when working as a nurse. Might not be much in the scheme of things but it is at least an acknowledgement. Better a pay rise of course!

Like thread 26. I asked staff at lids Folkestone and hawkinge what they thought of there bonus/ work. All replied in the affirmative. Great Fantastic. Show the people above that we are thought off. One even said first time they had ever had a bonus in 35 years of different work. I personally would not turn down a £200 bonus on my old gits pension. Brian

 

[antiquesam]

A bonus to the staff despite reporting a loss last year. Well done Lidl.
