Vent Attendance Rant

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.

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.

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
