Count Muppet Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 140 units so far. Any that currently have dry cleaning will have shoes and keys too. More on the way. It's not just those though. Good news for some but bad news for most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x minit uk Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 The Timson guys near me were moaning that their already poor bonus would be made worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Muppet Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Anyone that's any good at the job is getting a decent wage at the moment. You are talking to the wrong people Broms Cobb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Muppet Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Timpson mainly. It's watering down the bonus and stretching staff out in the shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 thats the story of the UK really isn't it... My wifes a teacher when we meet is was a nice number, you did a 4 year degree & had a nice job for life..... Now someone can walk into teaching after a year & shes working every waking hour. she gets up at 5am works, leaves the house at 7am works, comes home at 6-7pm & has tea then works till 10-11pm its ruined her (imo) but she clings onto the hope of it easing up. Its not that easy to walk from job to job for anyone Timpson employees included but employees are draining everyone dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broms Cobb Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 I think they are amazing (business plan) with the employee right's - pensions - insurance's - staff holidays rights etc I think it's a fantastic business model, no idea on how they can do it all, if you notice a lot of big companies coming to an end they are expanding - name another company as good?
