So today one of the co-managers told our deli assistant manager that too many people have Tuesday off. And that one of us scheduled off will have to work that evening. Well I needed off because my dad has to have eye surgery and sure as hell can't drive, and another girl in the department has to take her kid to an appointment too see a specialist for something. The other girl off is just unavailable, though we don't really know why. Any way the co-manager says my dads surgery is probably in the morning so I could come in during the evening and the other girl should be out of the doctor with her kid by the afternoon, though she has an evening
How this co-manager knows this I'll never know. I'm not the idiot who scheduled the two new people to close that never closed before. And with my dad his surgery is in the morning, but he has to go back to the optometrist later in the afternoon and the other girl has to go out of town to see her kids specialist.
We've had 4 people quit the last two weeks and ever since the hiring kiosk was taken out of our store we don't get as many applications to replace those who leave. The schedule was already posted so they can't come out and change our schedule can they?
You don't have to work if they approved your time off and the schedule has already been posted. They can just call another store and get help if they have to. Tell them you would work if you could but you cannot come in.
Once the schedule is posted and finalized, they can NOT make someone give up their day off. They can ask, pressure, but not make you. And they can make your workday pure " hell" for refusing but that's it. If they screwed up the schedule, then that's on them to find replacements from another store.
our schedules have to be posted by noon Friday. they can be changed up till noon on Saturday after that they cant be changed without consent.
Ours is that way too, though I've been wondering lately whether I could actually make changes up until midnight saturday night because I realized ours is worded such that "changes may not be made during the week"

Probably so, yeah.
OP: Tell them you just can't do it. Schedules can't be changed without consent.

I had requested a day off several weeks ahead and it was approved. That day I had family from out of town come in and had lunch with them when i get back home i see a call from kroger. The message was "if i was coming in to my shift." I call and tell the manager who called my request had been approved. He mutters "let me check on whats going on and get back to you." Never heard back i had family there and wasnt going to come in anyhow.
This company doesnt know what its doing majority of the time.
I had one time I had an approved day off and management kept calling me and I ignored every call. Came in the next day and went to management office to put something in there and noticed a suspension sheet needin my signature. It was for that requested day off. Being as no one was in there, I took the sheet and into the trash barrel it went. I then continued ony way. So far no one said anything to me about it.
