Back when I worked a shitty retail job we would usually hire a few people on fixed term/fixed hours over the Christmas/New Year peak (ie, you get minimum 20 hours a week for 16 weeks starting November 1st), first couple of weeks are mostly training, then peak, then cover into the new year while the full time people take some leave.

Had one guy who got to the end of his training then informed management that he would need leave approved starting now and right through peak because his family was going to an expensive ski resort but that he'd happily pick up some more hours when he got back. Got really salty when he was told that that wasn't going to happen, and he was welcome to go anyway but shouldn't expect a job when he got back.

More people should get hired, go through training, then leave.

I don't understand this.

I have Canada and USA coworkers and when they ask for time off approval, they usually get it according to a per team schedule.

We know what quarters are going to be the busiest before hand so everyone is encouraged to take time off when it is less demanding.

You can also take time off in busiest times.

In both cases, you are asked to request anyone from your team to backup you up (obviously available when you are not)

I think many people (me included) feel that it shouldn't be the employee's responsibility to find shift coverage.

[-] Ohbs@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Agreed. It would make sense to me if managing schedules was a job for the manager.

[-] orcrist@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

Are you paid to do scheduling? What if coworkers say no? ... Those are two serious potential problems.
