Is there a time frame for this? I usually have two or three days in the year that I call out because of illness and to me, that should not warrant a coaching. Hey, people get sick and that is why Target also gives us sick hours. Also, I will not waste my time or that of a doctor to obtain a doctors note for a cold or migraine. Not to mention most of us have co-pays.
I get what you're saying but I still find it disheartening. When it comes it to new employees or employees who have been having problems with performance in other areas, then fine. But if a long time TM calls saying they were in a crash, I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. A complete lack of trust will only work against the employer in the long term.
I'm going to use this in the future. I even asked my ETL-HR and she said that it doesn't cover call offs. A few of us from my store are going to call the hotline because we feel this isn't right.
I would like to say there is a timeframe as coachings do expire but my TLs are making it seem like there isn't.
I called off two hours before my shift started. It wasn't even a call off because someone ended up taking my shift without me realizing it. I would have gotten coached regardless if it weren't for that.
Unless your events are well documented by you, calling the hotline is not a good idea. Talk to your etl hr or stl, first.
I don't have performance issues. My GSTLs have told me the same about my performance. I already talked to my ETL HR and she told me that even if I use sick time to cover a call off I would still get coached. My only problem with this is that everyone is getting coached regardless of how good, decent, or bad your attendance is.
Go ahead & call the hotline. Your mgt will really come after you then.
I wouldn't be the only one calling but I get your point. I like my store and no one is really on me about anything. I get along well with everyone and my leads for the most part are very laid back and understanding. I was simply just trying to understand the situation and why I thought it was a little extreme.
That is not okay. I don't even have words to express how not okay that is. I understand Spot has a major attendance problem and TMs abuse policies, but to turn around and coach everyone who ever gets too sick to come into work or has to care for a sick kid is beyond the pale and toxic to morale. A doctor's note also isn't reasonable. I don't drive. If I wake up in the morning with,say, diarrhea, I clearly can't come to work, but I'm also not riding the bus an hour and a half, probably shitting on it, to get to the clinic for a condition they can't do anything for but tell me to hydrate and wait it out. And if it's Sunday, there's no bus service. Am I to ride my bike to the doctor when I'm too ill to handle work? That's not helpful to anyone and dumps more bullshit on our already overstressed healthcare system. Seriously, doctors HATE when people come to them just to get notes for minor stuff. It wastes time they don't have.
I was exaggerating
You forgot the sarcasm font.
