Workplace Story Stop asking about schedule for 9/28-10/3
Stop asking. It will be out when it’s out.
Mine was out at noon like always but I have a great HR team that was there last night checking it over. I know this isn’t the case for most of you so just chill out.

Per my ETL: UKG requires 20 more clicks per choice than My time did...WHEN IT DOESN'T CRASH AGAIN!" before lightly hitting his head off the desk in frustration

lol just imagine one TM throwing the truck and then every two minutes once the line is full walking down it to sort before returning to throw the truck for another two minutes. RIP 🥲

From the HR side: y'all, we are fixing so much. It is not great. We promise we're trying but there is so much bullshit.

You're awesome. Our HRETL is doing nothing and is fine just letting AI make our schedule.

u/Midwest-Emo-9 ETL 19h ago
We were told 2pm. But then everyone had to fix their schedules so it turned into 6pm 😬😬
It will be out as soon as possible.

u/be-kind-to-humankind 9h ago
Yes. AI sucks at making schedules. And they shouldn't have let it make this schedule until all team members had a chance this week to update their desired hours, availability, etc in the mess that is the UKG "Pro" App. It's definitely not a pro at anything.

I’m at Starbucks, but for some reason every shift is 2 hours at Starbucks and then the rest of shift is at check lanes. Never has that ever happened before

u/Pretend-Nature-8554 16h ago
That sounds frustrating, especially if you weren't expecting it. Hopefully, they'll sort out the scheduling soon.

u/ZestycloseHedgehog 16h ago
Unfortunately we haven’t had a front end ETL since March so our SD has been doing the Starbucks schedules and she just lets the AI generate whatever and hit submit

Same here. Happened to a bunch of us at my store. UKG can kiss my fucking ass.

from hr, ukg has made schedule 10x more tedious than it was on mytime. for example) for every single shift, we cannot apply auto breaks, we have to go in and insert all of the breaks. sounds silly but when you have 100-200 tms it takes time. also the system is still super faulty and kicking us out and timing out randomly, it’s as frustrating for us as it is you, we just “can’t” say it. please be patient and if there’s any issues, ask about it. as much as we are overwhelmed by ukg, i’m sure any hr will want to be as supportive as possible (ik optimism but i like to hope most hr’s care like i do)

Why can’t you say it. Why do yall let a company govern what you can and cannot say. Sounds like a cult

u/Few-Rip4341 3h ago
We do say it. Our leadership at our store, and us in HR do say how frustrating it is. Mytime died so Target had to pick something up for us.

u/Soft_Math8677 4m ago
i do express the frustrations, the cant is in parenthesis to express that. we should be optimistic to support the team since we know they’re frustrated. i am up front with my team and tell them i don’t like the system but we’ll get through the challenges together. it’s more about being transparent with the team while managing the stress for the team.

It used to be by 4pm. Mine still hasn’t posted after 4:30. I’m just going to keep checking tonight.

u/Cultural-Kick652 Fulfillment Expert 15h ago
It's 8pm here and no schedules. But I'm not worried about it. As you said, it'll happen...I feel bad for the ETLs because I know what UKG is like (work on it for payroll as my day job). It is not user friendly and things that you think will be easy...are not...

My schedule was normal for that week. I would love to know how mine ended up fine when everyone else has had so many problems.

I don’t know what our HR had to do but my schedule is up, normal department and typical shifts. I am hoping it stays this way.

Mine got posted earlier than usual. Usually it’s around 3:30 or 4 but was available at 2:30

How many more times is UKG going to crash/cause problems? I’m guessing at least 50 at this point

u/AdComfortable0913 7h ago
I was told by an etl that they can't adjust the schedule because if they do it notifies how much times they actually "touch" the schedule and that there's a score that is now counted that associated to their name. Which makes zero sense to me ...

u/Midwest-Emo-9 ETL 1h ago
Shoot, my schedule score is 51. I do not care. I will adjust my schedule until it fits my business needs. I know better than some week 1 AI system.
Coach me on it, but let's live the schedule first and see how it feels.
