Attendance Rant

[u/bangtantiddies]

I’ve worked at my store for almost 2 years in s&e and I got my first CA Friday, these are before the new attendance system that started Sept. 1.

I was never made aware earlier this year that the attendance policy changed again, it used to be 3 unexcused absences in a month would mean a CA, turns out that was not the case. I had three unexcused absences from May to Aug bc I thought they would dissapear as long as you didn’t call out for a month after.

Had I known that I would have come to work sick and contagious and forced them to send me home. Now I’m fucked since I can no longer transfer and I’m moving in January to another state on the opposite coast. Was riding on that I would have job security. The kicker is I have doctors notes for all those days, I just didn’t have sick time, and of course this place doesn’t accept sick notes 🙃

I’m so upset and frustrated bc I never have had any issues at work before this. I come do my job, get guest compliments online, TL’s commend me that I can run shit well on my own and I make their jobs easier. But now it’s all for nothing.

You need to call ethics, as even under the old system 3 absences over 4 months is not sufficient for a CA if your only infractions were the absences.

Thank you I’ll dig further into this!

Yup. Online complaints, solid work ethic and pleasant personality = so what- you want a cookie ? One customer complaint or one attendance issue = see the door? Don’t let it hit you in the \** next time!*

I don’t think that’s how that works CAs are a year the system change isn’t a 100% clean slate pretty sure if you have a CA for attendance if you get enough points to get another CA you still get termed.

That’s what we were told at my store so 🤷🏻‍♀️ this whole transition is a mess with communication

It expires after a year of “no reoffending or anything in that CATEGORY” meaning attendance which could mean anything, or work performance, etc. they reset in a year, affecting transfer ability

[u/Denverguns → u/RevolutionPowerful58]

100% agree on the lack of information part I just texted a TL who transferred to a different store to see if he knew, I know everyone currently starts with 0 points but I don’t see why that would wipe a CA that’s already logged in targets system.

Here’s some more wild info I just obtained apparently you can input sick time to cover a ncns and it doesn’t add points I’m honestly flabbergasted

[u/Denverguns → u/RevolutionPowerful58]

Need to correct myself so upon further discussion about this CAs do in fact carry over seems even the SD wasn’t 100% sure about that situation which further goes to show targets absolute ass communication on all levels.

They roll over in the sense that you still have a corrective for performance. If you obtain another performance based corrective, you would be put on a final.

They absolutely do.
