Hey all. Long time larker, first time poster...Anyway, here's my situation:
About a month ago I went on educational LOA because things at school were just becoming too much. From where I live, I drive 45 mins south to get to school and 25 mins north to get to my store. It was just too much, and my education is more important so I went on LOA. My HR person was okay with this. I've had no problems, except recently....When I went on LOA, I told them to call or email me my schedule (because I cannot access it at home - not sure why, it just won't let me log in) when I was on Spring Break (which is this week). They did that. I emailed them back stating that I cannot work 3 of the days they gave me because of an internship I got at the school in my field of study. The HR person emailed me back saying that she put my shifts in the book for me. When I was in on Saturday I noticed that no one had picked up the shifts - they're middle of the day and my store has mostly high schoolers working, so it doesn't surprise me that they were never filled. I asked some people at my store on Saturday if I could get written up for not showing up, and they all said yes. Anyway, I didn't go in today, nor will I tomorrow or Thursday because of my internship (which is more important to me than working at Target for people who don't care about me).
Basically my question is this - Will I get written up/fired for not showing up for 3 days, even tho I talked to someone about it already? If I do, I'm not one bit sadden by this, since I hate my store and my STL hates me and has been trying (poorly) to find a way to get rid of me (she tried to get me in trouble at Starbucks for something that was her fault). We've already had 3 LOD leave the company completely in the last month because of how poorly things have been running, so again - if fired, I won't be crying over it.
