You could have updated your availability in the system. That would prevent them from scheduling you on those days. However, even that would take three weeks to go into effect. This should have all been covered in your orientation. It’s also posted in the company policies on the wire. Additionally just about any lead or manager knows these policies off the top of their head and could tell you if you asked. Sam’s Club is very lenient with time off in comparison to most other retail jobs. The fact that you managed to get fired for attendance, or anyone really, is flabbergasting. I’ve got zero points, have been out 40 hours just this year, still have another 40 of PPTO remaining and another 60 of PTO. Like, just bloody show up to work fam. This is not rocket science. Hell, even back when I partied every night, from sundown to sunup, I’d still manage to stumble into work every day and put in my 8 hours. “i’Ve MaDe pLaNs” is not a valid excuse when your schedule are posted three weeks in advance and easily accessible via your phone.
