Help! I'm new!
I have a few questions for y'all.
1. How long do I have to wait before I request time off? I've been flexible and worked additional hours and stayed longer than I was supposed a few days (due to TL's request), and came in on a day I wasn't scheduled (also due to TL's request). Do I not get experience points for this and is this just how Target works? Or does my flexibility and ability to accomodate the needs of Target above my own count for anything?
2. In the event that I can not request a day off (4 hour shift), I can still opt to find a sub, is that correct? Would that look bad if I were trying to find a sub/requesting a day off? CLEARLY, I'd show up if neither of the options workout.
3. How long must I wait before I request to be cross-trained? I've just finished my first three weeks, and I've heard that you have to wait until your 60 day review, but logically, it would be a lot easier to cross-train me over the summer, when I am not in classes then it would be to cross-train me when I am taking 18 credit hours. Additionally, it would be better for Target and myself b/c I can work where I am needed instead of take up space and hours on the clock. I've been helping out all around the store anyway. In backstocks/ backroom, SL, HL. I know Starbucks positions are needed due to two team members going back to school, so I'm going to keep my eye on that.
Heck, it'd be easier to just reapply to Target. The time it took to fill out my application and get an interview was less than a week. Is that not allowed?
Sorry, now I'm starting to ramble. :senile:
