Hi guys! Just wondering if you've encountered issues with requesting time off and being scheduled outside of your availability.
A little backstory: I transferred to another store 6 months ago. Was promised, and have in writing, that requesting a day or two off now and then isn't a big deal and that I was guaranteed working four 10 hour shifts. In the six months I've been there, I have been given one additional day off two months ago and only worked those four 10 hour shifts my first week there. I was told that I would return to that schedule "soon" but it's been a while and here I am making this post, so you probably know how that went.
At your store, when requesting time off, are you required to talk to a leader first or can you just put the request in? If you have to talk to a lead, do they even allow you to put the request in the system? My current ETL always demands that I don't enter it but insists he'll make a note to give me that day off. He never remembers and when I ask about it, am told, "Well, the schedule is already written. Too bad."
When you are scheduled outside of your availability, how do you go about correcting this? My availability from here on out is what I was told I would be working: four 10 hour shifts, Monday through Thursday. How do I ensure this is what I will be scheduled when my ETL refuses to answer questions? I asked about it three weeks ago and he told me he was no longer doing the schedule, which is definitely a lie. Thanks for any input!
tldr: help I can't get time off or my schedule fixed
