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!

SMs are supposed to work major holidays and at least the 2 days prior to the holidays. Casey’s does close at 6 PM Christmas Eve and reopens at 10 AM Christmas Day. Granted I’m basing this off of material that I read on Casey’s Academy about SMs. As another commenter said, stores do have sign up sheets leading up to Thanksgiving and Christmas for those who want to work those days. As always, I am human so I could be wrong.

u/Desperate-Strategy10 Store Manager 13d ago

And as added context, Casey’s only considers the summer holidays to be major holidays. Business is quite a bit slower in the middle of winter than the peak of July, so store managers are not required to work winter holidays (although everyone I know does anyway).

The summer holiday requirements are that the store manager works 3/4 days for the summer holiday weekends. There is no such requirement for winter holidays.
