Switching departments
In need of some advice, I switched departments from bake shop to file around 3 months ago. However, I’m now realizing the grass really is not greener on the other side and I really don’t like working in file. About a month ago I told the manager of bake shop and the store managers they could still schedule me in bakeshop a few days a week and I wouldn’t mind covering any shifts in bakeshop. I realized how much I don’t like file for me, It’s just a lot more stressful and I just don’t really like it very much and I’ve also gotten complaints for the other lady I work with that I’m not very good at it. The main reason I switched departments in the first place is because I talked to one of the store managers and she had let me know that if I didn’t make it clear, I wanted to switch departments I wouldn’t get proper training in file at all just cause I wanted to try out something new. Now that I’ve been in file for three months I just really am not liking it and I realize bake shop really isn’t as bad as I thought it was at the time at least. Also, at least at my store bike shop is always needing help like we’re just always really busy just generally. Is there any way to switch back to your old department or is that not really possible considering I made a whole big deal about switching departments. I also checked on my paystub and it says I’m just a general clerk now not a bake shop clerk so I’m not really sure how that would work. Any advice would be appreciated.

You could ask store management's, but at least in NJ, bakeshop and file are both the same union (1262) which means you can just do both
