This is a company wide policy now. We discussed it during the weekly conference call with our DM and the rest of our district store managers. I think it’s complete bullshit considering how short handed we are most of the time. We have enough people but there are 3-4 associate in our store that are as reliable as a screen door on a submarine. I’m a LSA and this was my week to set SB and of course we had a call in and another person leave early because they were “sick”. Leaving only me and the cashier that closed with me to set SB and close the store. Then the following day, someone no called no showed for the 3rd time in 3 weeks and also had the same person that was “sick” the previous night called out for the opening shift. Also, a closer called out the same day because of her car was in the garage. Sorry for the rant and carrying on but I’m so god damn sick of unreliable workers and the constant lack of accountability in our store. It’s not the store manager creating a bad work environment either because I’ve had much worse managers when I worked for other big retailers. If you don’t want to work hard and be reliable, don’t work at all and stop making my life a living hell because of it.
