Our Eschedule roles out next week. Shet already hit the fan. Lives have just been completely altered. Everyone has to work a different shift. End of discussion. One person quit on the spot. Others are very upset.
Doesn't have any negative effect on me.
I am just going to quietly watch the show and go along for the ride to see where it goes.
My store rolled out E-schedule back in late march. After a few hiccups with shifts for the first week or two everything was back to normal and better! I don't really see the problem others are having.
Yeah, it's been a complete disaster here. The union representatives are running around the stores like chickens with their heads cut off. All the schedules are wrong (but have not been changed) and corporate has actually said to keep the schedules in place no matter what. Kroger needs to sued, plain and simple.
E-Schedule hasn't affected me negatively at all. This is our 2nd week using it. It's just that it's been over a month since I've not had my schedule in some way or another that I've gotten used to not being able to trust the schedules that are hung up, and having to chase around the person in charge of the schedules to get mine fixed. The main difference with E-Schedule at my store is that now everyone else is complaining about having the same problems I've been having since before E-Schedule.

Easy Peasy.
Rolls. Role is a noun meaning function or part. Roll, in this situation, is a verb.

Ouch! Not sure how that happenned. The L is no where near the E so I can't call it a fat finger mistake. I am very picky about grammar and spelling too.
It's odd how some stores are having issues with this, while others are not. As if there were two different groups working for supposedly the same company. That being said, I don't mind watching the circus. Maybe the hoopla will die down, but what I'm hearing from others and then seeing on this board, maybe not...

It actually worked well for me. I can't remember the last time I had 2 days off in a row. I actually got 40 hours in 5 days instead of the 28 hours in 6 days(part timer).
I realize the 40 hours is going to end as soon as they get enough workers hired in for the shift I am on. The two day workers that got sent to nights are trying to find a way to get back on days as I type. I will wait and see...
We got e-schedule last year. Has a few hiccups. For whatever reason every Thursday the computer wants to give 16 hours to conditioners. So instead of giving two 8 hour shifts our grocery manager gives 3 people 5-5 1/2 hour shifts to be fair. Other than that it's business as usual.
E-Schedule will be implemented where I'm at in less than two weeks. Already though, it's causing problems. I was talking to one person that works in the bakery, and she said E-Schedule is going to be doing away with the old shifts and creating new ones, so instead of some people coming in at 1:00AM and working to 9:00AM, they will be coming in at 5:00AM and leaving and 1:00PM. She told me the problem is, the current scheduling system takes into account there aren't enough ovens for everyone to use, so the shifts are spaced out accordingly, but now, the shifts will be overlapping to the extent there won't be enough ovens to accommodate everyone that will be there and in need of one to bake items such as breads, cookies and so on. Nobody in bakery seems too happy about this and I don't blame them.
Also, someone that's full time on the front end told me that the store manager told him his usual shifts are no longer guaranteed with E-Schedule and so that might be it for his morning shifts even though he has seniority over everyone. E-Schedule hasn't even been implemented yet and nobody is looking forward to what their schedules are going to look like now. I recently took a CBT on it and the CBT basically tried to "convince" me that E-Schedule was going to be good for associates and customers, but it was clearly evident that the "reasons" given in the CBT were extremely weak and didn't at all make a good case for the need to change scheduling software.

We only have one bakery oven and our bakers have always come in at 5:00AM or later. We're one of the biggest stores in the division too. You just have to be organized. The last of the bread usually comes out of the oven by noon at the very latest. It's rare that we have to do pies, croissants, AND cookies all on the same day, but if we do, we simply decide what the best course of action is. If there are croissants in the proofer and pies ready to go in the oven, we just look at the croissants and figure whether or not they can remain in the proofer without overproofing while the pies bake. If it's a definite no, then the pies wait and we bake cookies in the meantime until the croissants are ready to be baked. If it's a maybe, then we go ahead and put the pies in the oven and simply pull the croissants out the proofer a little early and let them finish proofing out on the floor.
What's really dumb is on one hand E-Schedule says there needs to be more people scheduled later in the day, but then it says there needs to be TWO bakers in at 5:00 AM-- two bakers trying to use the same oven everyday. First of all, we only have two bakers period. I guess they don't get any off days. Second, when they both work on the same day, the second person comes in at 8:00 to bag bread. You need that 3 hour space so the baker can get a sufficient amount of bread baked and cooled for the bagger
