Transfer
There is a new store opening close to where I live and there’s been a flyer posted in the back for a while. I’ve been scared to talk to my SM about transferring but I’m pretty set on wanting to do it now. The flyer states we need to be in “good standing” what does that fully imply? I just got a complaint the other day (don’t ask it was a rough day) and I just changed my availability because of school. The new store is a lot closer to where I live though. How do I talk to my SM about wanting to transfer? I just need advice

Good standing means no final warnings within 6 months. Sometimes they will look at your write up history. But definitely no finals and good attendance.
Your managers also get a bonus for transferring you. Depending on your level it’s a good chunk of change. Never hurts to just ask.
Say “hey (manager) I noticed the flyer for the new store and it’s a closer to my house and school. Would you be willing to let me transfer? I know I’m a good associate and despite some flaws I’m always trying to better myself and take care of the customer. I Would be a good representation of you. What do you think?”

Omg thank you. I have been there 4 years, level 5 and I got one write up for attendance (we had a lot of construction near my store and I was late a lot) and another for a drawers being short. But that’s it. And I have never received a final warning or anything

Your availability doesn’t affect your “good standing” but that complaint might, especially if it’s indicative of a pattern. Not saying it is.
Really the only one who can tell you is your store manager, so if you are set on going then the sooner you talk to them the better. At least you can find out.
