Schedule mix up?

Post Reply New Topic

It's been a pretty hectic last few weeks at work, with people being out and just being busy in general as I work retail. I got scheduled both days of a weekend, which normally don't bother me. Last weekend I got scheduled for both days of a sale, which was already very draining to me from all the people and had me wore out. I got scheduled another 3 days on top of that though, which really has me tired. I was in charge the one day til the store manager came, I misread that I was supposed to come in at 9:30 instead of 9 how hectic things have been, and being so tired. I just realized tonight when I was checking my schedule to see when I go in, in the morning. Am I likely to be wrote up or anything like I suspect?

two years ago, i unintentionally came in at 9:30 to work instead of 9, as scheduled.

nobody wrote me up.

however, every company, and every boss, is different.

whether you get written up depends on your boss.

your post does not contain enough information to determine if you will get written up.

plenty of employees at my slave plantation get away with standing around flapping their traps for pretty much the entire shift and nothing happens to them, besides getting promoted to Assistant Store Manager.

other employees get written up for every slightest thing. for example, the head cashier made a public service announcement, that any lot attendant that fails to turn in a walkie talkie will get written up.

but whatever.

that's just like the legal system. some defendants get framed, convicted, and sent to jail or executed.

some guilty defendants get acquitted, or do not even get subpoenaed to court.

everyone has subconscious biases.

employees that the boss is buddy-buddy with have a distinct advantage, especially in industries where almost anyone could work there, and you can't always measure performance. for example, at my slave plantation, the managers identify slaves that they find "high potential". but, by definition, you can't measure "potential". the managers have their own lil cliques. the managers have the authority to delete Occurrences. (occurrences are tardies.) the managers control raises (earning more cash) and promotions. the managers also deal with disciplinary issues on a case by case basis.

the company could do anything it wants, legal or illegal, and the slave can't do anything about it, short of winning a civil lawsuit.
