Shit, 3 days notice would have been nice at my last job. I’d find out if I was working that day at 7am.

Kind of a weird thing to press amazon specifically on, any hourly job I’ve had basically gave the next week’s schedule the thursday before…

Yeah, my thought exactly, I doubt Wawa has a fancy term for it but it’s better than all your staff coming in or calling on Thursday to see if next week’s schedule is posted.

I find it weird that every part time jobs tries to play off flexible scheduling as a perk. Their schedule isn't flexible, they decide what shifts they want me to work. It might be better than factory work where you always work exactly the same shift or you must take vacation (or sick leave but they demand a doctor's note) - but you can plan around that well in advance. Meanwhile every full time job I've had wasn't factory work and so the expectation was "work any 8 hours per day, make sure you show up for the important meetings)

My job gives the part-timers schedules on Wednesday, two weeks in advance. According to the part-timers, that’s absolutely unheard of. They say the scheduling is one of the nicest parts of the job, because they can plan more than a few days in advance.
We’ve also had part-timers basically crying when they had to call in sick. Like dude, you’re trapped on the toilet; please stay home. We don’t want you here when you’re sick. We’ll deal with the staffing shortage, just focus on recovering.
How the hell is that not standard? People have lives outside of work.

That sounds wonderful! I remember trying to juggle two jobs and it was damn near impossible because both demanded full availability for part time work, leading to their late-released schedules conflicting constantly. Eventually one fired me after i came in late from the other. My next role I set very clear boundaries that “main job” had first dibs, luckily that place was flexible enough to accommodate the shifting schedules.

My part-timer gives me his schedule on Monday.
It’s project work, the “schedule” is really just “when do we do our regular check-in?” and I don’t give a rat’s ass when he does his work, as long as I can reach him whenever he said I could. My boss doesn’t give a shit either, as long as our work gets done.
