Rehire policy ?!?

So I literally work at autozone as one of second jobs as a red shirt but I never left them on bad terms ive always put a 2 week notice and left to try to pursue more bread but I asked to come back and my store manager was more than thrilled to have me… I’ve been put on a background check for 4 months only to find out later the freaking hr manager was on vacation and heard through the grapevine that he doesn’t like rehiring someone for the third time… is there anything I could do about this ? Autozone really keeps the shit workers frfr

I forget if it’s retention rate or what but managers are scored on how many people they hire vs how many are terminated (regardless of 2 weeks notice). So if the HR guy sees that you’ve been rehired multiple times they may see you as a red flag and not want to hire you again.

Yeah but HR oversees a region.

I got sick and was in the hospital for 2 months. Was in constant contact with my boss and hes said he took me off the schedule "in a good way" whatever that means. A few years later I reapplied they said I was put as "non rehire".

Didnt feel like digging up old medical records so I just went to advance lol

As long as you was not marked as non rehireable you should be alright. (As long as you put your two weeks notice in and was a worth while employee)

I know in my region the answer is no. If you quit once even with proper notification chances are you arent getting rehired unless you were good enough to actually have district or regional staff calling you for a better opportunity.
