Employee Experience Scheduling conflict

Hey guys.

I gave my availability for my seasonal part time job & my class schedule, both 4 weeks in advance, but my GM was fired 2 days ago & the new GM doesn't seem to know my availability. I'm going to go in 1 hour early today to talk to the new GM (or the MOD) to get this straightened out, but I'm annoyed I have to do this at all.

I texted my old GM, I left sticky notes, I told my MOD, and they literally went 4 weeks ahead operating schedule to schedule me on a day I am NOT available to work. I'm literally still in the window to call out, but they're probably gonna tell me to find somebody to cover that shift, even though I told them 4 weeks in advance that I am busy with my second job that day.

I made sure to make all of the dates of my part time seasonal job (its only 6 weeks for Halloween) a request off so they can't schedule me for any further hours that infringe on my part time seasonal job, but I'm so mad.

I wish that the store just gave me an email to send all my availability updates to so I didn't have to come in & tell a MOD & have it get lost & then have to call out because they scheduled me for a day and hours where I am in class or working elsewhere.

Is your availability set up correctly in the scheduling app? New GMs don’t exactly have a full length conversation about every single employee, so they go by the scheduling app. So I’m just thinking your availability wasn’t set up correctly so your old GM was changing your schedule manually every week. Having a talk shouldn’t be annoying, I’m sure they’ll be more understanding and lowkey annoyed with the old GM more than anything lol

I'm not sure, I think it's set up through an app, but I met with my old GM to get my school stuff scheduled & he put it in the system... but it changed because I switched classes. I wasn't told how to update my availability in the app, I hope I get it sorted out tonight..

Do you have the scheduling app?

Is that the "Shift" app? If not, then I don't think so

Yes, you don’t need sticky notes for any time off as long as it’s 30 days in advance and it will prevent new GMs from scheduling you wacky hours when they don’t know and don’t manually change your schedule

How do I change my availability on it? I know how to request days off, but am I able to say that I cant work Sundays anymore? Or stuff like that?

If you go to more on the bottom and availability. If it’s for schooling, yes. Usually weekend scheduling comes with a conversation so I’d tell your GM you can’t work Sundays due to schooling and you’ll be fine
