I talked to my STL last night about putting in my notice and he was pretty understanding (it's mainly due to juggling 2 jobs + school semester in the Spring), said "you gotta do what's best for you", thanked me for the hard work over the years, and it went as smoothly as I could have hoped...

I do plan to do that, the problem is that I desperately need hours and money (I've been lasting this summer on empty promises of more hours once BTS kicks in) so i really am in a situation where if I can't get moved to a spot with more hours, I have to get another job that will. We'll see what...

I just got back from going in to talk to the TL in question...she says HR already talked to her (probably earlier today after I had the talk with HR) and she told him that I told her beforehand, but that I guess she felt it was a shitty excuse to call out (I was told beforehand that for someone...

That's what ETL-HR told me today (the CA for NCNS)...I had never been told about it, nor have those shifts even come up in any discussion since it happened (early July). The only people "stuck" on this is HR for holding it against me, I haven't thought about it since that week. This only came up...

I did, in fact, talk to our GSTL about it (very good rapport with her, one of the few leaders in the store everyone looks up to and respects 100%) as soon as I saw the schedule (she happened to be LOD that night) and she suggested trying to find coverage + putting on the swap board before...

I do admit it was last minute to notify them, but only because I had spent virtually every moment possible leading up to it, asking everyone I possibly could in the store for coverage so that I wouldn't have to call out; I looked at everyone's schedules, went in multiple times to track down the...

I used to be scheduled a lot more and I've been there long enough people should know how I am...its just the new leadership started once my hours did go down so I guess they have less to go off of other than the things that stand out, like the "no call" incident. I'll go in tonight and talk to...

As much as I'm able to, yes. A lot of the time when they call me in for shifts its very last minute and I can't due to plans, but I regularly pick up swap shifts (just picked up 3 over the last 2 weeks and another 2 upcoming). There is 0 legitimate reason to call me "unreliable" imo.

After that shift last month I wasn't in for almost a week after (more due to the bad scheduling...), nor did I have any reason to think that she wouldn't have relayed that information across. I hate to call her out on it tonight now but I am screwed completely if I have an NCNS sitting on my...

I initially started alluding to this situation in another post but figured it best to start a new thread for it instead of derailing the other post... I've been a Hardlines TM at my current store since May of last year (was previously a cashier for ~2 years at a different store in the area)...

That's certainly not what I'd be saying to them, just the reasoning in my head...still, if the other store agrees they want me for whatever reason ends up happening, and my record is clean, is my store able to just say "no", or does transferring not require your store's approval?

Quick question or two about transfers via hypothetical scenario: Say I work at a store and asked another store in the area if they would be willing to have me transfer because hours are better at this other store than my current store. Is my current store allowed to deny this transfer based on...

I've rung up this mother/daughter at least 30 times at this point, I'm fairly certain that they have no transportation to and from the store, as I always see them walking from pretty far away down the road when I'm arriving sometimes. They are the sweetest and I love when they come in, and...

It's more of a personal thing with my ETL-GE than anything else - he likes to just hang around the lanes and wait for us to slip up and not ask a guest, then pull us aside to talk about it. Doing his job I know but after almost 2 years of trying to get cards, I've found 0 ways to get them...

Talked to my GSTL, and she agrees it's pretty stupid that they led me up for a month saying yes just to deny it in the end... If I transferred, wouldn't it be still a cashier-to-cashier transfer, though? Or would I be able to jump into another position? Perhaps if it was cashier-to-cashier and...
