Scheduling & Time Off

I wish we could put reasoning on our time off requests…

So I am transferring to a new store but don’t start for a bit. I have a day that I can’t work because of my summer classes (on a weekend) and they already denied it once. I need that day off and won’t be working before they schedule to that date so I can’t go in and talk to the ETL.

I have other rejected time off requests that happen spontaneously over the summer as well. I don’t want to say I am unavailable on weekends because I am only unavailable on some, not all.

I really wish we could give reason on the app for our time off or even call offs that aren’t just “ill” or “late”. Like I wish I could tell them “im not just ill…im violently puking over a toilet and don’t think you want me interacting with guests while doing so!” or late due to the weather or an accident on the road. I was late once after leaving extra early due to weather. I feel like we could have more grace when situations like such arise rather than just a mark on our record.

Ughhh
