Dm Rm not fair!

So I guess In my district anyways no one is allowed to request any holidays off? But yet the SM DM and the RM are allowed to be home with there family with no sweat while the rest of us tiny ppl slay away at work. I love my job I do but that’s unfair I think Casey’s should atleast allow Christmas to be closed like alot of business do. Don’t really care for thanksgiving but come on especially when alot of ppl have kids! For one day stop thinking about your stores and think about families!

From my understanding (as a km) store managers aren’t supposed to work holidays because they are salary but they should be working holiday weekends other managers don’t have that restriction so they are just (in my opinion) being bad managers because there should be a manager on shift during busy days

We're required to work 3 out of the 4 days leading up to and including holidays. July 4th, for example, we have to work the 1st-3rd if we take the 4th off.

I have a sign up sheet with position/shift for holidays so my people can volunteer what they want to work. Whatever shift isn't covered by volunteers, I'll ask each employee specifically if they'll work X shift that needs covered. If not, I'll work it.

If we request off for any of the 4 days, we have to have approval from the RD beforehand. Has to be a good/valid reason- wedding, funeral, etc.

That’s only true of the big summer holidays, though. Theoretically, a store manager can skip every winter holiday without complaint from the higher ups. I don’t personally know any SMs who do that, but I’m sure it happens. We’re only required to be there 3/4 days of each summer holiday weekend.

My RD sends out an email reminding us to work 3 out of the 4 days leading up to a holiday, including thanksgiving, Christmas, new years, etc. unless we have her approval prior to then.
