we were told that myschedule plus will not be introduced until next year in our area. we have pilot stores that are using it.
from what i hear, the associates really like it and feel it gives them more flexibility. |

Thank you! Only one day was denied because I will be in another department by then and it will be a special event, so she said everyone will work. Wacoal fit-for-the-cure |

congrats bell !!! it's about time.
question about myschedule plus: what about part timers ?? i truly only want to work 3 days at the most, not 4. is there a minimum we have to pick/work ?? i'm sure other p/t or f/t people would gobble up the hrs anyway. well i guess we know you're not a male, bell. wow. i always thought you were. go figure. i tried a walcoal and it was still crap. pretty, but not supportive at all. i finally went to a "real" lingerie store in new york city (Intimacy) on the upper west side. now THESE people know how to fit a bra !!! worth every penney/dollar. this store was featured on that show that was on a year ago, "how to love yourself" hosted by the queer eye for the straight guy" guy , carson pressley. it is a great store. just thought you should know.

oh, i forgot why i started this rant.
so i go to the macy's nearby (not my store) to go for a special event bra fitting . the walcoal reps were there. but the sales person i got was a regular macy's associate. she was very nice, but she was a big girl, and big on top, wearing a terrible bra - no support at all. she's telling me that if you're big, you just can't get a good supportive bra. WTF ??? i bought one , but brought it back soon after. i was so mad i wasted my time. so in the end, i went to ny at my sister's urging (she lives there) and we had a fun girl's day.

I don't like Wacoal. I wear Calvin Klein bras. Love them and they're so pretty. |

| I don't know if this has anything to do with My Schedule Plus, but under the My Schedule link there is a link called "MSP desktop. Clicking on it brings up a page called "WORKFORCE CENTRAL" from a company called Kronos. It has an error message "your account is not configured properly. Does anyone know what this is? | |

support worker.....i have the same thing. but does everybody see it??
do you have an executive view?? can you do schedule edits?? if so, under myschedule, where you pull the area walk reports, there is a myschedule+ feature under utilities. it brings you to the same page you mentioned? |

thanks....i was not sure who could view it.
i believe that most of the outage of insite has to do with a people soft upgrade. people soft is system used by HR to enter new hires. regarding myschedule plus, from what i understand and have read about, each week, the schedules will drop with base associate scheduled on key days...for example a friday and saturday for ODS. when the schedules drop for associates, they will be able to pick the rest of their shifts for full time and part time associates. i believe that oca's can then pick up the rest. it seems it is first come, first serve. if i have this wrong, please correct me. there are stores in different districts that are using myschedule plus and from what i hear, associates like it. i was wondering if edits can be done BEFORE the schedules drop? |
