Archived Day off

[Wongely Dongely]

It is the 3rd today, I requested a day off on the 17th, my boss said to request days off at least 2 weeks in advance because of how they make the schedules, is exactly 2 weeks in advance good enough to get the day off? I just don’t want to be scheduled and have to ask a coworker to cover my shift because I’ve never been able to cover theirs.

That week is being written right now . So you should have had it in 2 weeks ago or at least last week . Now is to late

It's still early enough to get that off. The 17th is a Sunday, so we'll be writing that week in the next few days. Requesting that day isn't due until tomorrow, I think. But yeah, ideally you should have had the request in a week or two ago. Or 6 months ago if you knew about it that early.

I wrote the schedule for the 17th today already

Yeah I wish the cutoff for requesting vacation was like the Wednesday or even Friday before. Sometimes I'll write the schedule and then someone will request a day off after I'm done. Other times the team member will request it off early but it doesn't get approved until Monday at noon; I had that happen at a store that required me to turn in the schedule by Monday at noon...

My cut off is 3 days before the schedule get written.

You should have had it 12 years ago. But if Target wants to cancel your shift, they can feel free to call you a minute before and tell you. Doesn't seem quite equal now does it?

That's equal to a call off though, which happens all the time and rarely has repercussions until it gets to a certain point.

I disagree. A call off is for an unexpected reason. Target telling people is not for an unexpected reason. An equivalent reason would be the store is closed because of a power outage. Calling people and telling them not to come in the day before or even the day of when the schedule has been posted for 2 weeks is not the same.
