Thank TTK and Rachel from Accounts for their ineptitude.

Sainsbury's has announced it will cut 3,000 jobs as it shuts down its remaining cafés and closes its patisserie and pizza counters.

The supermarket says the move will "simplify the business", adding that most Sainsbury's shoppers "do not use the cafés regularly".

Sainsbury's also plans to make a 20% reduction in senior management roles, saying the business faces a "particularly challenging cost environment".

Although Sainsbury's was already in the midst of a plan to save £1bn over the next few years, the BBC understands the rise in employer's National Insurance contributions set out in the Budget has also been a factor in this latest restructuring plan.

In response to Sainsbury's announcement, Downing Street said: "As we said at the Budget, difficult decisions were needed to restore economic stability, and put the public finances back on to a stable footing."

However bad the news, some idiot spokesperson for the Government tries to put a positive spin on it. The thrust of the argument always seems to be that Joe Public and big business can't see the bigger picture. Attempted brain washing drivel.

Not sure how businesses firing staff is economic stability.

Yes, this is just the start, thank you TTK and Rachel from Accounts for ******* up the economy.

Growth my ****.

I think there will be MUCH more when the truth of the new regulations on employment (Rayner's brainchild) come in because it will be much harder (and more expensive) to do in the future

while the usual suspects have some blame real culprit is Sainsbury’s who rather than take slightly less profit prefer to make over 3,000 people unemployed which also puts extra burden of benefits they might need on tax payers

You presumably wish Sainsbury's and others to go in to administration then?

Rather than take measures to keep them afloat.

The removal of the cafe's in Sainsburys is ongoing, they use the space to open an Argos as that is within their package.

The removal of masses of unnecessary middle management posts would be a good precept for the government and the Civil Service.

The NI rise is going to cost Sainsbury's 1.4m from April.

I think you'll find the illegal immigration puts a massive burden on the benefits and tax system of this country

Wishful thinking.  They might get as far as setting up a committee or quango to 'look into all options'.  It will sit for several years, visiting many sites, staying in 5 star hotels and doing additional visits to see how it is done in the south of France, Barbados, New York etc.  Following a period of study they will produce a report that says;

  • Further study is needed
  • There needs to be an 'ongoing' permanent department to address the issue
  • This will need a dedicated building (confidentiality) and a full staff.

After this - the Gov't will go away and look into the report - and the members of the committee/Quango will get seats in the House of Lords.  Everyone will be happy.

I'm sure that's exactly what some of them would like; several of them have been members of the communist party in the past I believe.

More a hate of those they see as 'rich' (can be just having a few savings or a private pension that they see as rich) or 'privileged' (things like hunting, shooting, living in/enjoying the country are seen as signs of privilege) rather than 'average'

So how do they rob you? Do they force you to pay £4 for the rice krispies???

 

Is it done with a threat of violence???

You're not forced to shop there, so it's not robbery.

Choose some where else, simples!!

You understand the principle of "market forces"?
