What large corporate companies are not paying their staff?

[AmIAWeed]

I have seen other threads about specific companies not paying their staff and closing the doors.
I would really like if we can create a list of companies who are paying and who are not.
Nespresso emailed to say stores closing but staff being paid
Home bargains are paying staff to self isolate AND any staff who don't will get 2 weeks pay later in the year
Whose doing good by their people and who isn't?
I want to make sure when all this is over, companies are repaid with my business in the way they treat their staff.

It’s the food, household and health items keeping us open. Already confirmed no matter what we won’t be closing

It's shite isn't it.
Stalwarts of the high street eh

No, mine doesn’t sell food @ssd

Oh what the hell. I work for Next.

Ah, I thought M&S.

Our online presence is so strong that the company could easily close all the stores temporarily, ramp up the online marketing, offer free delivery on all items including furniture, extend its returns policy, and it would survive. But no. And don’t get me started on the sale this weekend. Corporate irresponsibility at its worst. I don’t see Lord Wolfson, our CEO, scrubbing the escalator handrails using his ungloved hands, or standing by the door squirting customers with hand sanitizer while they breathe all over him. We have no idea if/when stores will be closing or if we will be paid when they do. No communication from the HE team at all. Yet we continue going to work for £8.21/hour because we can’t afford to lose our jobs

@mrsspensergregson I think there will be an announcement tomorrow. Sadly not because they give a shit, but because of the negative PR.

This really shows the company's who give a toss doesn't it. Mine doesn't either.

Costa are closing and paying all team members an a arrange of their last 8 weeks pay.

This really shows the company's who give a toss doesn't it. Mine doesn't either.

Definitely. I heard the CEO of pets at home on the radio earlier trying - and in my view failing - to defend labelling all his staff key-workers.

As I mentioned upthread though, there are also companies out there who were already hanging on by a gossamer thread, they won’t be able to do the right thing even if they wanted to. I don’t think Next is in that category though,

Pets at Home: I can understand the argument for vets, but that's it. Maybe keep a few staff for click and collect type services, but everything else can be delivered.

Keeping the groom room open is silly, a dog isn't going to get ill by not being groomed, owners can do more of that themselves (I say this as a dog owner).

I think part of the problem is that the government is not defining what "essential travel" means. I've just heard a news report on the radio about the high volume passengers on the London Underground today which made social distancing (keeping 6 feet apart) impossible. I think part of the cause of this is that the government has failed to say that non-essential shops need to close, and that workers will still be paid (at least for a set number of weeks). At the moment there are thousands of shop workers travelling to work every day because for them, of course, their journey is essential - if they don't work, they don't get paid and they don't eat or keep a roof over their head. Then we have the other part of the issue which is that companies such as Next have not clarified to their staff how much / if it all they will be paid in the event of social distancing / lockdown / forced closure etc. So the staff are still making their essential journey to work every day as they are terrified of financial ruin, starvation and homelessness if they don't, and that's not an exaggeration. Your average shop worker if paid less than £9/hour and doesn't have a lot of savings to fall back on!

@MrsSpenserGregson, spot on.

Cottages.com I will never use after this. They won't refund and expect you to try and find another date with the the place but who knows how long this will go on for so I have no idea when to book plus it's all getting booked up next year. They are encouraging people to go on holiday and putting pressure on people to make a decision. I won't go on mine and it's looking like I can't get a refund.

BT have been told to use a week of next years leave for caring responsibilities and attendance management measures will still apply ie absence warnings etc

What about the fact the government are paying 80% of wages ? I must have missed something

Direct Line Group staff are expected in today to ‘prepare’ to wfh, they have offered no information or reassurance, staff left dangling for the last two weeks. Got round it by being ‘essential’ as part of financial services 🙄
On Twitter folk are moaning about poor customer service, bet they don’t realise those people answering your call are still commuting on busy trains to answer your bloody call!!

Next have now confirmed that all store staff will be paid in full until April 11th, and after that will be paid a minimum of 80% of their permanent wage.

Which is very good. I still think the stores should have closed last week though, and not at 6pm yesterday!

Have I understood this right, that wetherspoon workers aren't being paid and he's told them to go and get jobs in Tesco?

Virgin are forced to take unpaid leave according to someone I know who works for them. They started this a few weeks ago

ScorpionQueen yes, that's true.

I've not set foot in a wetherspoons for years, but I hope he ends up bankrupt after this, fucking spiv that he is.

I can't see it affecting his business unfortunately, people will conveniently forget or not care and visit again when they open (whenever that'll be).

I don't go to pubs anyway, but always avoided Wetherspoons when I used to have the time, what a vile man.

This is not a good thread, several people have already posted incorrect information that could harm a business.

Plus the bit about the RSPCA is incorrect, they are doing everything they can to protect the inspectors and staff whilst still ensuring animals are safe. They are damned if they do, damned if they don’t.

And some people have posted info that shows a certain retailer in a good light when the truth is far from it and if truth be told would utterly damage its great reputation

This is doing the rounds on Twitter - spreadsheet with (supposed) sources

The Entertainer are paying staff in full

I'm voting with my feet on this, so thanks for the thread OP
