For some, the end of the work week has arrived. I never work Friday, and I'm part-time so "end of the work week," does not pertain to me. The weather forecast today is Sunny and mild, temps in the mid 70s (F). That's something I can deal with. In fact, that is the perfect invitation to spend time outside focusing on winter clean-up.
I did work yesterday and scheduling was bare bones to say the least. Flooring and Decor had a total of 14 hours scheduled, and while that may seem like a lot, it isn't. No aisle associate was scheduled, so there was no one to bring down pallets of product. This means we have to steal someone from another department. I was told by my department manager that on Tuesday the department was over scheduled. Our schedules are actually pre-built by corporate and downloaded Monday morning. The HR rep doing the scheduling should be able to adjust them by moving people around, that's what I used to do. Frequently I would simply delete their schedule completely and write my own. Unfortunately we are part of a corporation that likes to micro-manage hours, so her hands may be tied. Things are not the way they used to be.
Here's an update on the seeds I planted. The beans are sprouting like... well, bean sprouts. The green peppers are coming along fine. However everything else, including the tomato seeds? Nothing.
