Archived How to approach leaders about switching workcenters?

[FredPanda3]

I asked my ETL HR (she's brand new) about switching to SFS during the Holiday season and she said that I can't just switch temporarily during the Holidays, and I would have to do a permanent switch.

She then told me that if I wanted to do a few shifts but still work primarily in soft lines I could, but then when I told her that I would be okay with that as well, she immediately flipped on me and said I would have to talk to my ETL before doing that and she still wasn't sure.

(My mistake was telling her one of the reasons I wanted out of SL was I preferred not to work a bunch of mids, she kind of went off after that).

How do I approach her and my leader so that they allow me to have SFS as a secondary work center, anyone asked something like this before?

Also, is SFS the same pay grade as Softlines?

Talk to your ETL and see what they say, since the Christmas season hasn't "really" started yet, you might still be able to. It may just be some work for the HR person...heaven forbid.

I believe the pay grade is the same, however, no free slurpees for SFS

Lower paygrade, Fred.
