Easy to do when you raise your prices I guess (just like everyone else tbf)
This sub always goes in about paying your staff better and when they do, silence or indifference.
Lets not forget they also got together with the princes trust to get 6 weeks of free work out of people. Under the guise of gaining ‘retail experience’. I thought it was unskilled labour.
Well done to M&S. a further 2% increase and £250 voucher. Is it a lot? No, but it’s a second increase this year which I’m sure will help people out. Though I would be happy if they gave another raise to bring it in line with inflation.
According to the article, it’s a combined increase of 7.4% (including the raise earlier in the year).
Supermarkets should be striking for pay rise not bus drivers. Bus drivers striking is a joke imo when people who work full time in supermarkets have to be subsidized with benefits to live. Bus drivers don’t. I salute Marks for doing this but others need to follow suit
Sad times that in order to get positive press companies only need to do the bare minimum (sometimes less) so their employees can exist.
I would like to say as someone who worked for m&s for about 5 years until 2021 they are the worst company I’ve ever worked for and I’ve done all the supermarkets and a lot of clothing stores as well.
To them you are literally a number, during lockdown they put on sales to drive customers in while all the other stores had to close. They made no safety measures for their staff everything they did seemed to make things worse and try to find ways around treating their staff well.
They have friends in the media and thats it. Everytime they do anything there’s a big story in all the papers. Notice you never hear about the other shops that raised wages.
Fuck m&s their whole management structure is as cruel as it is incompetent.
How is a voucher an increase in pay?
.. I mean it’s good but the headline is misleading
My workplace just gave everyone a 10% raise to help out. Looks like I’ll be staying here a good while
