Forever......

And ever

I called out the Tuesday before Thanksgiving 2 years ago (I had the damn stomach flu) and they still remember that shit.

Not this week. No holds barred on Black Friday week.

I would challenge them and they would change it.

 

[busyzoningtoys]

They have to give you 8 hours between shifts. Required. Challenge them.

Lol try 2:30am then 7am

 

[countingsheep]

Be careful with challenging they could take one or both shifts away. Management doesnt like be questioned

 

[Kartman]

Fuck that. I will question the shit outta them.

There are only a couple of states and a few major cities that require that as part of labor laws.
My understanding is that Spot used to have it as a policy but not for many years.

It's worth a shot. I had the same problem (close at 1am, open at 7 the next day) and I brought it up to my ETL and she immediately said she'd change it. Now, if she actually gets to it before Thanksgiving comes...

Its asants my stl is a miser she doesnt like any kinda of negativity. She took a wreks worth of shifts from a hl tm because they requested a day off got it approved and got scheduled anyway. Soon as she brought it up poof all shifts gone. When she asked about that our stl told her to stop whining if she doesnt luke the way the store is run. Totally out of line. My management team sucks in the worst way

Company policy unless you agree to less. Not dependent on time of year.

That's when you file for unemployment!

Well, they don't follow that at my store anymore. Even when it isn't Black Friday week. Unless my Team Members are saying "go ahead and schedule me this."

Yeah, I mentioned to half the salesfloor team that I'd pick up any shift from them next week that our STL would approve. In front of the STL who asked us to try not to swap any shifts. Bet the next schedule has me working like, 8 hours 😑

I WASN'T EXACTLY WRONG. 15 hours 😤

You mean like the company policy about keeping fire tunnels clear?

What sort of crap company wouldn’t give you 8 hours between shifts even if it wasn’t required by law? 🤔 💡 Oh...

 

[can't touch this]

My only complaint about my holiday hours is that they're just for the holidays and not year round

Mine are the same as always: shitty.

 

[Tessa120]

My hours this week are bad, and next week downright shitty. Anyone else seeing a drop in hours? You'd think they need the warm bodies to get stuff in guests' hands and take money out in turn.

 

[opalitewaves]

So update they changed my hours because you need 8 hours in between shifts or it's illegal 😂 I am now 4:30-10 on Thanksgiving and 7 am to 4:30 Friday 👍

Yes, last month I was averaging 32-35 hours. Now I'm averaging 15. I need 40. I don't understand the point of hiring additional team members just to cut everyone else's hours.
How does that benefit the company?

 

[fun at target]

Im happy i have been getting 2+ hrs of OT every day this week

Saves Spot money when no one gets enough hours to qualify for benefits.

 

[Marcellow]

4 CLOSING shifts as GSA. Just kill me. 😳

 

[Tessa120]

6 days in a row, Wednesday through Cyber Monday. Close, close, close, close, close, mid-morning. And they are all itsy bitsy 5 hour shifts so I'm not even getting decent money for the days.

 

[oath2order]

Newest schedule I only have 4 hours which I am perfectly fine with
