Hi Sadie
Can you please get in touch we are literally 2 minutes from Waitrose. Would love to help this young man out. Please reach out to us.
This is awful @waitrose , you certainly are showing your true colours of late with your terrible treatment of staff.
This lad deserves much more respect, of which you show none. "Work Experience" for four years? Sorry, that is not work experience that is exploitation and slave labour.
Does @waitrose condone slave Labour?
You are an absolute disgrace, @waitrose. You have basically used this young man for unpaid labour, which you clearly thought he was able to do, and now when paid work is mentioned, you cast him aside. You are utterly despicable, and one can only conclude this is discrimination.
@waitrose was just looking to use disabled kids as free labour because they could get away with it, so many of these schemes teach disabled people to devalue themselves as if their work isn't worth pay like everyone else's.
@waitrose Shame on you. It was alright for him to work for free, but when it comes to paid work you said he couldn’t do the job. I know many employers and organisations are unaware there are NINE protected characteristics under the Equality Act, but disability is one of them.
Doesn’t matter how many ‘Employment Advisors’ you force on GP surgeries. This will happen!
Sort out the employers!
@wesstreeting / overlap minister for Care! @SKinnock
This young man gave his all and must now feel rejected.
Waitrose has just accented how free labour can be exploitable. #DWP want to take those who suffer from #MentalHealth issues off benefits & into the workplace. Either via PAYE or Placement. However, with attitudes like that manager on productivity targets - hardly any get employ.
Come on @waitrose do the right thing here. This is disgraceful.
@sainsburys @asda @Morrisons your cheadle shops are always short staffed. There is a very experienced, capable, enthusiastic young man here who would add a lot of value to your stores.
Shame on you #waitrose #waitrosecheadlehulme
@waitrose uses slave labour. Take your business elsewhere.
What is Money?
A means of exchange?
No it’s the theft of other peoples labour.
@Waitrose is a disgrace considering the prices they charge for their ‘food’
A fair days pay for a fair days work.
Absolutely horrendous! Happy to share your post and really hope you get a response from @waitrose AND you’re right about reasonable adjustments etc, sounds like they don’t know employment law!
I would, unfortunately, suggest that he stop volunteering this is exploitative
What @waitrose needs to explain is why offering him part time employment is impossible.
He must have come under their insurance and complied with their H&S policies, or did they break their own rules.
