Working within the food retail business these days would seem to give some modicum of job security ... or does it?

Mrs DL arrived home yesterday evening with the news that she has been issued with an 'at risk of redundancy' notice and that the 1-1 meeting was today. Her 30 day consultation period starts as of now!

Mrs DL has worked as a Cash Office Manager/Supervisor for nearly 26 years in a supermarket building that has been frequently altered internally and in ownership ... it is now owned by Morrisons.

Morrisons are now making this position redundant throughout all their stores due to IT improvements and company infrastructure.

This may help Ken increase his millions but now means that the only income in our house is my ill-health pension ... not a lot to look forward to, at least she wasn't told just before Christmas as I was 2 years ago ...thanks for that Ken xx

Sorry to hear about Mrs DL, it seems nowhere is safe at the moment.

I used to work at Gateway before it became Somerfield, then worked at Somerfield in another town before it became a Co-op. that's progress for you. I sometimes wonder, though...

Blimey that\'s quite a history of stores, I don\'t even remember Presto. I did use to work for Safeway before it became a Morrisons, but that was over 15 years ago.

I hope Mrs DL is doing okay. It looks like it was a big part of her life.


Thanks Machie ... the birth of our second son, he actually started out at 'The Halifax' before the change of venue :¬)

Presto bought Safeway, but because Safeway was 'considered' a more upmarket name ... it was retained as such.

Addendum:

Thanks to all of you that have 'viewed' this thread and many thanks to all of you that have supported KeyMarkets, Presto, Safeway and Morrisons during the past 26 years ... you have all helped.
