Have a quick question for all my brew siblings on HBT...Maybe someone has some insight.
After being on "the dole" since last April (so not fun) I was offered and accepted an entry level management position with Wegmans. They have not told me this yet, but from what I could gather online this may require "24-hour availability"? Can anyone clarify this concept. I know it can vary from place to place.
Unlike the front end which is open 24hrs, my area is open "normal" hours (8a-10p) What I can't pinpoint (I have yet the opportunity to ask) is how would this pertain to my position. As the "manager" or Team Leader I can understand being available to field calls at home if some happened or there is a staffing issue. But do have have to keep my schedule clear in case somethings happens.
What worries me is if when I'm off I basically cannot set any plans. What if I have a few days off and want to take my family to the in-laws beach house or shoot down to visit my side of the family or have visitors. I am only given a very very limited number of days off (1 week vacay plus 3 p days). So days off are critical to me and my family. God forbid I have a BREW DAY PLANNED!
I guess a lot depends on the dependability and competency of the staff under me.
Sorry for the Rant mixed in...Looking forward to you responses.
