Greggs hints at job cuts as furlough scheme ends

Bakery chain Greggs has hinted at possible job cuts as the government's furlough scheme ends.

It said it had reviewed staff costs and was currently consulting with unions and employee representatives.However, it is not clear if the company will usewhere employers and the state top up workers' pay who are on fewer hours.

Might as well cut job as they have cut the size of the pasties the sausage rolls the pies and the fillings whilst increasing the prices.

Well well well what a surprise

Please tell me the supply of tasty sausage rolls is still secure?! I won’t be able to sleep tonight

Stopped using them - tried for breakfast baguettes only to be always told ‘sold out’. Me - “so why not make some more?” Greggs. - “cos we only sold 10 yesterday” Me -“but how many did you make?” Greggs -“10” Me “and were customers asking for more after?” Greggs “Yes” 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤔🤔😂

Why the government paying the bills for businesses? There are risks to take when you are in business. Why it’s our responsibility to make sure that they are making profit or loss? The government has wasted enough money on furloughing and subsidising them!

Mask-Nazis take note!

Tiny shops, only 2 customers at a time usually, non-sustainable expansion of stores, prices have gone up.... hardly surprising

Greggs needs to change their operating model &bring their food and products out the where the people (their customers) are. It’s called Delivery!!! We are working differently now... but guess what? We STILL need to eat! Join the ‘new normal’ or you won’t survive! GreggsOfficial

For a company until recently recording record profits, a few bad months and cutting staff. Shows they don't have the long term strategy and don't look after their employees.

Oh crumbs

Looks like this government of BorisJohnson cannot afford both furlough and Brexit, so the public gets nothing as usual.

Some Greggs are closed.

With some luck the whole company will fold like an apple turn over, terrible company to work for, horrible products. The UK can live with out this food .

Worchester kidnap gang: Boy, 14, is the latest target Has this been covered by the news? It should be.

and so it begins....

Quick! Buy some vegan sausage rolls!

No workers going on lunch breaks then no sandwich shops needed.... not rocket science but it seems too complicated for government policy to join up the dots.

Greggs should close anyway, gammon food.

They should of stayed open during the lockdown, sausage rolls were essential food..

Well their delivering now so wont need the staff obvious

Last years Christmas bonus seems like a distant memory now

Who's gonna keep the pasties luke warm?

Like we didn’t know this was going to happen

Took me a second to work out that was a hair net in the picture. As you were, lads.
