To Managers xxxxxx


In the last week I have started work in xxxxxxx as a General Assistant on the nigh shift.
From the beginning I believed and I hoped in xxxxx as a great opportunity but working conditions surprised me a lot in a negative way and I was somewhat dismayed.
Induction session and employers handbook are fictional comparing to a brutal reality and it does not give you any reflection about working conditions.
There is not a place for rules or principles, further more you are unable to find Sainsbury’s values such as “ Respect for the individual ”or liberality for the new employee.

During the first night my manager gave me a target to achieve.
Target fixed for an experienced colleague accustomed working on night shift.
I was not trained enough how to work effectively and I didn’t reach my target crossing time limit for about two hours.
After that, when I had completed my second replenishing task, manager told me “you've done nothing”.
More over he said, that he does not care that I am new employer and it is my first or second night shift in my life.
I have noticed that he treated me unfairly and in the different way making comments about my performance and comparing me to other colleagues.
I have also heard from my manager that the time is my enemy and I need to work constantly like a robot.
In addition he said, if I would not accept these rules there is no place for me on night shift.

I was somewhat dismayed because my performance was not so bad and even not worse then other colleagues.

Forget the slogan “respect for the individual “- I felt like an intruder, a prisoner in a work camp, a number without the uniform and possibility to take a brake according to my needs and the biological clock.
I felt cheated, discriminated and being bullied.


Is this a normal and correct behaviour in this branch or on the night shift only?

In the past I used to work in Sainsbury’s as a general assistant/code controller and I know what hard work means and my attitude was appreciated.
I will be very happy if you would like to watch CCTV recordings and judge my performance fairly.

After first two days of stress and being harassed I felt sick.
According to company policy I called sick line and had informed about my situation.
Next day when I have called once again informing that I am still unfit to work, in response the caller asked several questions: how long I have been in company, do I know anything about recession and how many people are loosing their jobs.
In addition my caller said that I suppose to be worried about my vacancy within Sainsbury’s.
Is this a fair treatment or just simple blackmail?
How can he judge me without knowing the issue?


I wish to understand why in such a short period I was treated so unfairly. Is this because of the recession or because I am white? Is this because some people are not trained enough to be managers, who know both - how to make a profit and also how to care about employees?

I must admit that I am not happy with this what happened and due to above circumstances I can not work on night shift and willing be move on day shift.

I appreciate your understanding and explanation in above matter.

Yours sincerely,

xxxxxx
