I work in Floral and before eSchedule was implemented, it was myself and 3 other lovely ladies who worked there. Everything went smooth, all our immediate tasks were completed on time, and everything was sunshine and roses.

eSchedule rolls around and the schedule says we should be open until 9pm, not 8pm as we have been for the last several years. Much fighting ensued and needless to say, we lost. One of the ladies said that there is no way that she is working past 8pm on weeknights, since she works full time for the government during the weekday and it would be a huge hassle for the drive, etc. eSchedule didn't give her any hours when she changed her availability to 8pm max.

This was about two months ago. She still shows up on the schedule as "OFF" for the entire week. In the meantime, we've been struggling to finish our tasks and we're falling farther and farther behind.

Recently, they decided to change the hours back to 8pm! But at the same time, her name is no longer on the schedule. I'm wondering how Kroger handled this - was she laid off? She didn't actually quit she said, but the computer won't give her any hours, even though she has full availability on the weekends. But now with the time back to the way it's supposed to be, will she be given hours again? I was getting about 20 hours a week with the 4 of us there which was 100% fine with me (I go to school and have a 2nd job), but without her I've been getting 35+ consistently for the last two months - causing me to, as of 2 weeks ago, quit job #2 because they were tired of eSchedule forcing me off their own schedule.
