Has anyone received letters asking them to return to work ?????

Smithy, N.East,

the way the staff have been treated is disgusting!!! the staff are never informed what is happening within the business (whats left of it!) surely a little respect from the ' big boys' at the top wouldnt go a miss! this is peoples lives theyre messin with!

emma, newcastle,

What are you playing at kwik save, and what's all this about opening back up stores when it's clear you could go into administration by the end of next week. Why are you not trying to save your remaining stores instead of messing with ones you closed down because you said they were "financially unviable", how come now you think they are not? I really, really hope you do not get away with this one. You've left staff made redundant back in March without redundancy, you've closed stores without any notice and now you are taking redundancy away from staff and offering them back secure jobs. SECURE! you must be having a laugh? Kwik save you have had your last breath, admit it and let the staff find themselves a desent job with better prospects. 16 months this nonsense has gone on for, NO-ONE TRUSTS YOU ANYMORE.

Carey, Warrington,

how can you close 79 stores and tell all these people they have lost their jobs offer them a redundancy package and completely mess up their lives to send them a letter less than a fortnight later to tell them their jobs are still there and to resume work within 4days . how can they possibly re-open a store with no stock , no money to buy stock and even if they did how can they fill it in that short amount of time. it is obvious there is more to this than meets the eye are these people being duped out of their redundancy ???because if they dont take their jobs back they end up with nothing, havent they been through enough already???

dawn, gwent,

This is all set up, they need to go into admin to protect themselfs.. latest is they looking to set up merchandising teams, some is to go into closed stores. order sheets are coming through and they are being told to order loads of stock. bread, milk and middlewich are comming back on line.They may even take on some of the staff they had made redundant.,this may be a smoke screen, i hope not it could be the start of pauls master plan.they company will no longer be classed as a supermarket they will all become a convience chain will maybe a change of name.
watch this space!!!

Allan, coventry,

Not a surprise, considering. I just feel very sorry for all the employees of Kwik Save and Somerfield, (the previous owners,) who have lost, or are about to lose their jobs because of what is happening.

Just about sums up private equity and ESPECIALLY BARCLAYS BANK WHO SEEN VERY KEEN TO LEND MONEY TO THESE PARARSITES.

David, Bristol,

oh what a suprise!!!i was made redundant last week by kwik save and have had a redundancy package that is too good to be true.this is due to be paid on the 21st but look now like i may get nothing if they go into administration,kwik save have known what they were doing from day one,running the shops down on purpose,shutting 79 stores last week and sending us all a decent redundancy package so we keep quiet, me and my partner both worked for kwik save for many years and they have treated us and all there loyal staff like idiots,we are relying on our redundancy money to pay our bills but now looks like we wont get a penny from them,this has been one big con from day one ,they never had any intention of paying us what we are entitled to the plan all along was to go under so they dont have to pay us,i just hope that the board and directors have some concience and dont let this happen to the thousands off staff that will be left with nothing.

janet, glossop,

I used to work for these so I am not surprised. I left nearly 2 months ago due to the fact that the company didnt have a future. I left around the time of the nisa agreement ending and you just knew then that it was thank god I am leaving.
