He was on vacation for 3 weeks in a row and during that time, the assistant head of bakery asked me to change my hours of availability because they need more people. So I agreed and did it online, and for those three weeks everything was fine. But then the head of bakery came back and took over making the schedule again and he messed mine up. I confronted him about it and he got mad about his mistake and got into an argument with me about it. This week the additional hours I added (which the assistant bakery person begged me to add. I added them as a favor!) are completely cut out. Really?? You guys are extremely shorthanded but you're going to shoot yourself in the foot? Okay then.
Do you understand ELMs ? Each department is allowed so many hours per week based on sales forecast and other factors. Then, this is processed thru a Weekly planner(WWP), then filtered to a Daily Planner(DDP). The manager is only allowed to schedule so many hours a day per week.
If there are enough people in the department and the hours are being planned correctly by the WWP(and DDP) and the work is not getting done, then someone isn't working hard enough. I realize there are circumstances the computer can't predict. Coworker hung over. Help 300 customers instead or the forecasted 6. Retirement celebration for the DSD clerk.
Your manager was on vacation for 3 weeks. Let's say the department is allowed 140 hours a week. Your manager missing would mean other workers would need to fill their 40 hours that they are not there. You got some of his hours in the last 3 weeks. Well, the manager is back and the spare 40 hours is not available anymore.
Eschedule combined with ELMs dictates how many hours each store department is budgeted and each person gets a week. The store is graded about meeting ELMs budgeted hours, OSAT and many other tasks. This is store Percent Effective. If the store doesn't meet Percent Effective, the store manager gets chewed out and possibly lose their job. If the Department manger doesn't meet the budget, they get chewed out or fired. Guess who is next in line: YOU. "Shi t flows downhill."
I have never written a schedule so do not completely grasp schedule writing.
It is not the Department Mangers fault you don't get more hours. Calm down and try to apologize if it was a heated arguement. Not worth letting the tension fester.
My department head told me I was SOL when I was scheduled outside my availability. I don't understand why we even fill it out if they're not gonna listen lol.

At my store Kroger is SOL if they schedule me outside of my availability. They tried that and my union rep told me I didn't have to work ANY hours they schedule me outside of my availability and to just not show up if they give me trouble.

Annnnnnnnnnnd this is why ELMS sucks and Kroger needs to stop replying so much on computers to tell it what to do.
I realize that we are in the 21st century, but Kroger is trying for the Jetsons and landing in The Flintstones.
