not only that, they change my schedule maybe twice a week? and understaff it constantly and call me in constantly.
but like think how ridiculous 30 days in advance is for a minimum wage job, that's a little over 4 fucking weeks. If I'm not able to submit a request 4 weeks and change in advance it gets auto denied. Recently I submitted a request 27 days in advance, and not only did it get denied, I got scheduled for an 11 hour shift, like wtf it's almost like it's intentional. Now I have to go through a bunch of fucking hoops trying to find someone to swap shifts with, which no one is gonna want to do bc it's an 11 hour shift, and then if I can't find someone I'm not gonna be able to call in sick because I don't get sick time bc I'm seasonal, at least not enough sick time to get that shift off, and they will fire me for that.
Mine's kinda like that even though we can technically ask for days off two weeks in advance. They make the schedules two weeks at a time but for the week and a half that they're "making" the new schedule (which is bullshit they have a computer program that does it) we aren't allowed to ask for those days off, so if you don't ask for a day off on the first four or five days of the two week cycle you're in- too bad, you're locked in for a month. Also they keep "losing" the book we use to request time off.
I've found they're a lot more lenient with the labor shortages they're facing right now though. Maybe apply at a different retailer and give your boss your two weeks unless you can take that day off and get a raise.
You don't have to give 2 weeks, it's just a courtesy. People can call them as a reference but all they're "allowed" to say is, yes, you worked there. No idea if they actually break that regulation or not cause I've never been in charge of hiring. So quit in the middle of the shift and try to take as many people as possible, maximize the employers pain, see if you can get others to walk off even if they're staying
oh they also use kronos at your job?
