Are people also having issues having their schedules changed at the last minute? Our schedule comes out two weeks in advance yet sometimes their shifts are changed 24-48 hours beforehand and HR/management does not tell the team member. For example we had a team member show up at 11am today. They said he was scheduled for 8am. He's been taking pictures of his schedule and apparently it was changed on Thursday. Management says it was and everybody's responsibility to check their schedules on a daily basis. What is the point of posting the schedule 2 weeks in advance if it is changing the day before your scheduled shift and they aren't calling or telling the person. It is unrealistic to expect everybody to check their schedule every single day. I can understand that slight changes need to be made once its posted. However if its been posted for 10 days and you need to make changes during the final days of the schedule then I believe the onus is on them to inform the affected team members.
That was what happened to me recently. I wrote down my schedule for next week (on a Saturday), it said that I was scheduled on a Sunday and when I showed up, they said I wasn't scheduled that day. I thought it was weird because I just checked yesterday and it said I was scheduled. I thought it must've been my fault like I must've misread or something. The next day (Monday), when I came into work, my LOD
just now told me she changed my schedule.
Even though I had to just smile and say, "oh...ok." inside, I was so livid that these managers are so unorganized and don't even take into consideration of team members wasting so much of their time due to lack of management responsibilities. Management expect you to do everything perfect for them, but they don't give that expectation of running a professionalized work environment for their employees. I thought working for Target would be fun, but now I wished I would've taken that other offer working retail at the mall instead lol. I think I would've been paid more, too. :girl_sigh:
To be honest, if I got fired from Target, I would half celebrate.
