To Managers ***

In last week I have started work in *** as a General Assistant on nigh shift.
From beginning working conditions surprised me in a negative way and I was somewhat dismayed.

Induction session and employers handbook are fictional comparing to 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 anonymous manager (he even didn’t introduced himself) 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 that it is my first or second night shift in my life.

In the past I used to work in *** as a general assistant/code controller and I know what hard work means and my attitude was appreciated.
Forget the slogan “respect for the individual “- I felt like an intruder, a number without the uniform and possibility to take a brake according to my needs and the biological clock.
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 heard from my manager that the time is my enemy and I need to work like a robot working and thinking being permanently late.
More over he said if I would not accept these rules there is no place for me on night shift.
I am surprised because my performance was not so bad and I did not work worse then other colleagues.
I felt cheated, discriminated and being bullied.
Maybe the nigh shift manager is unsuitable or there are not enough people working in there?
I am very pleased you to watch CCTV recordings and judge my performance fairly.

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

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 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 asked if I am not worry about my vacancy in ***.
Is this a fair treatment or just simple blackmail?
How can he judge me not knowing the issue?

Why in a short time I was treated so unfairly?
Maybe because of recession or because I am white or maybe people are not enough trained to be a managers and don’t care about employees and are thinking about the profit only.

I must admit that I am not happy with you and due to above circumstances I cannot work on night shift and willing be move on day shift.

I appreciate your understanding and explanation.

Yours sincerely,

Demart
