Sainsbury's 'thousands' of jobs at risk as managers face demotion to save £500 million.

SAINSBURY'S has admitted thousands of jobs are at risk at the UK’s second-biggest supermarket chain as part of plans to save £500 million over the next three years with employees potentially facing redundancy or demotion.

On Monday, the UK's biggest supermarket chain, Tesco, announced it was cutting 1,700 shop floor management jobs.

The problem with most managers is that they don't actually manage. They just do tick box exercises for paperwork requirements.
Usually for one of two reasons.
1) Legal or corporate bureaucracy to provide a paper trail for some standards system.
2) To cover their arse from frivolous legal claims.

I remember many years ago when Nat West did something similar in their back office / call centres

They downgraded all the team managers down to clerical grade.

As managers they got a salary and so no OT payments
As Clerical grades they did

The total costs increased as suddenly they approved all OT and naturally decided that they needed to be on site to supervise people doing OT

good. it would mean they got paid for the hours they did as opposed to the hours they didn't get paid ...
