Yes, you’ll always start at 6 when working on A2.
There should still be an announcement when they make the weekly call, but if you miss that then you should get a notification from myTime that your schedule changed. (Unless you’re having issues with the app like some people are and then you’d need to check it on the web)
 
Mandatory hasn’t yet gone into effect yet for us just on voluntary now, last year this time we were in double mandatory already but that’s mainly bc they cut us from getting 72 hrs down to 60 thus requiring the mandate for those who never came in to pick up the slack ( lmao woulda been better off letting the others come In for the additional day that wanted to) but yes your assigned a group on myTime that’s your flex up group your building or your om will make an announcement stating maditory is in affect at that point you must check on your flex up day to see if you have to come in or not . Otherwise sign up for voluntary via myTime and check to see if you are flexed up

My building is still VLEing lol. Going to make about 15k less this year compared to the last two years due to no overtime. After our last two years of OT every week they went overboard and overstaffed our building badly.

We have been vle’ing as well. I think it’s a combo of lower volumes and more staff. Mbp drops the past couple weeks were between 100-130, this week it increased a little to 160-170. Inbound is getting busy and calling voluntary. Outbound and warehouse are still in straight time and flexing to inbound.
I was told staffing forecast starting next week is looking like flex up 1 till the end of the year, no max. We shall see. I’d rather do 1.5 shifts than the early starts.
 
Mandatory overtime now showing up on app just 1 day looks like there adding mandatory days 1 week out

They would make the mandatory call on Wednesday for the week, correct? And then additional/ voluntary day prior?

Yeah, not sure how long it takes for the OMs to update the app, but I think their scheduling meetings are still at the same times. So should update at roughly the same time as the call in line use to.

What's it mean up group b and down group 3?

The up group decides which days you have to work if they schedule mandatory OT. It rotates on a fixed calendar that should be posted somewhere.

The down group is basically irrelevant since they rolled out mytime. It was a rotation to keep things “fair” when signing up for VNS, but that’s all FCFS now.

So Do They they tell you on the app if you have mandatory OT

Yes. Your mytime app will let you know if you work mandatory OT. Ask your OM about the up/down groups for more specifics regarding your location.

If you are scheduled in my time then it is official and it will be accountable. Check your preferences as well because you might not get a notification. I don’t get notifications because I already have too many. You can also access my time through a web browser instead of using the app. If you are in your first 90 don’t worry about mandatory overtime. I wish everybody had a work email that way we could just ask our leaders for the correct answers. That way we don’t have to resort to the break room for others help. Don’t be misinformed. If you have any questions you could always ask me. I’ve been with Target DC for 3 years and scored high on my ACT/SAT but I didn’t finish college 🥺 just know I came back and found this post because you may be a new team member in my department at my distribution center. If you are the team member I am thinking about just know you can ask me anything anytime at work. I stick to myself but it’s due to Asperger’s Syndrome. I’d give you the shirt off my back if you needed it. The only reason I started to use the breakroom was when I started doing a new job function. I used it as a channel for answers I couldn’t ask just “any TM”
