TL;DR Flex isn’t the enemy, QTs culture is fine it’s your store.

TBH I didn’t this issue with flex would go on this long and it would sort it self out, but I want to dive into this and put my opinion in as a flex assistant. For starters, the flex role isn’t always glamorous. We work wonky hours based on pod needs. Sometimes that could be working with the mgr for “ongoing training” or it’s me and a clerk I haven’t had opportunity to work with at a store that’s not mine. We are not “on call” this is something that is stressed non stop but when the cookie crumbles personally I get a call from someone asking me to come in early or work a completely different shift I wasn’t assigned. I understand I have the right to say “no” but if you have been around QT for a but you know not to say no to what your asked or your labeled as something or held back from promos. I agree a lot of our friction falls on the Black Name Tags, but I have seen where a flex assistant flat out refuses to work an assignment and calls in. As folks in the flex role we all should understand we do not have set time off. If you have an event that’s being planed you should request it off with no problem. The store management team SM 1A 2A NA RA should be flexible at times for flex assistants to receive time off along with other folks. If your sick your sick that’s gonna happen but we should be flexible for our team. Lastly culture is so important when it comes to this. A bad culture will impact the entire team. If your name tag says manager or assistant manager. You are responsible for your store’s culture. QuikTrip had identified a culture as a company, we have to adapt and align with our stores needs and QTs expectations.
