Thanksgiving: 7:30p-4:15a

[Megaparsec]

Since I have super limited availability, I wasn't actually scheduled. But, I'm off from my other job that day, I need to pick up stuff there anyway and I know closing down the store on BF is super easy, I volunteered to grab a closing shift on BF. They asked if I wanted to work Thanksgiving and I said "Not in the slightest." So they didn't bother scheduling me then

Friday 6:00am-2:30pm. I am a PA in Market and will be "opening" market if you can call it that..

I will expect it to be slow till about 8:00am then all hell to break loose (I was Hard-lines last year's Black Friday and started at 8:00am to 5:00 and it was like walking into a nightmare).

So I've wondered, what happens if you call out Black Friday? I was told today there is no such thing and you'll be expected to show or its a basic termination? Unless you have a hospital note or something...? I don't condone calling out but if you're sick, you're sick. Or if theres a family emergency. But I've wondered.

I was told that if it's anything less than life threatening or a serious emergency that required you too be there and not at work, it was a term. It was implied that if you weren't immediately termed it would put you on final + hour cut, but they didn't explicitly say that.

Mind you, this wasn't on record from hr, but I spoke to some veteran employees with multiple q4s with the spot and that was the general consensus.

 

[wageslave1138]

Calling out on Black Friday or Thanksgiving had better come with the bill from the Emergency Room. Or a death certificate. It's "too important" that the drones get their deals than for us to have anything happen to us in those 48 hours.

Thursday- Off
Friday---- 4am - 12:45pm

I haven't worked that early since I started closing three or so weeks ago. I least I get to partake in shopping after my shift, though I haven't inquired on the specifics of TM shopping during this sale. Will do when I go in tomorrow.

Just have to be off the clock. No hiding stuff etc, and strongly suggested that you have a different shirt and or jacket to cover up the red shirt.

you don't shop during your shift. shop after, probably want to take the uniform off.

What do ETLs and STLs work? I'm figuring probably 12-14 hours? Just curious. I've worked retail management at a grocer and was once at the store from noon until 2 AM on the Fourth of July.

maybe someone can further clarify, but i think it depends on the workload. I have seen one of my former ETL-LOG work around 18hrs one time. I worked early in the morning, then i came back at night too shop and he was still there.
