So I need to change my availability (again) because the first time I submitted it, I got the days/times I'm available mixed up, so now I need to fix it so that it's correct.
However, 1) I already know I need to talk to one of two people to get it approved quickly, and 2) the schedule for two weeks out has already been posted and it conflicts with my class schedule quite a bit.
When I first submitted a request, I submitted it two weeks in advance and it didn't get approved until AFTER the schedule was made for the week I needed it to go into effect. I spoke with HR about this, and they said, "Sorry, you'll have to find people to swap with," basically saying there's nothing they can do. Is this true?
I was told by a friend who's previously worked at Target that she submitted a request a month in advance and it still wasn't approved in time. A coworker also told me that it usually takes a really long time for the requests to get approved and put into effect, and they usually don't tell you that until after it's too late.
Does anyone have a general idea of when the best time to submit these requests is, and how long you can expect to wait for it to go into effect? Also, how can I get HR to help me out with swapping shifts? I have 3 shifts I need to swap and I'm still in my 90 day thing, so I don't want to have to call out.
