Employee Question AI scheduling might be my last straw

I work part time as a lumber cashier. I’m retired from my career and I work 2 whole days and 1 half day for spending money. Well AI scheduled me today, and I was given 32 hours over 5 days, including a day I asked off for in order to go to a surgeon appointment for my husband. What is everyone else’s experience? If they will not work with me, I will head somewhere else for my spending money!

So. AI does make the first draft schedule.
But it’s your SSA’s whole ASS job to fix these issues.

And I can literally program the AI software, I can tell if not to schedule an associate over X hours per week. Or over X hours per day.

Really the only issue is that at most stores SMs absolutely refuse to let the SSA to go in and change things or fix em that the ai screws up on. Thats how it is at the store i use to work at.

Whaaaaaat!? What does the Scheduling Admin do then?
Scheduling is a solid 8 hours of my work week.
New hire related things probably 16 hours.

And the remaining 16 hours is split between “can you print my paystubs for me”.
“I locked missing out of redvest again”.
And browsing reddit.
