Schedule 01.03-01.09.16.

Schedule 12.27.15-01.02.16

Schedule 12.20.15-12.26.15

If your availability has changed, please e-mail str169@urbanoutfitters.com. And remember: any switches have to be manager approved.

P.S. Darcie and Damian have already informed me they have a more open availability then I realized if people need coverage.

Schedule 12.13-12.19.15

Heyyyy guys. So, please remember to keep the switching around to an absolute minimum (and ANY switches need to be approved by a manager.) Everyone has 4 or 5 days this week and each of those shifts is completely needed (check out those high LYs)...which means that there are very few opportunities for people to take a shift--it will have to be a switch (since no one can work more than 5 days in a week.)

Let me know if there's any issues and we'll work them out as best we can.

--Devon

P.S. Reminder: Darcie has a 5-CL on Saturday that I forgot to put on here. If anyone is willing to switch her let us know!

P.P.S. E-mail the store (since the mgr e-mail is Ashley's and I can't see it) to let me know when your availabilities change ASAP, please! (And when your new ones start and what they are if you're in school.)

Schedule 12.6-12.11.15

UPDATE: OUR HOLIDAY PARTY IS GOING TO BE THURSDAY. DECEMBER 10TH, AT COLONY GRILL IN FAIRFIELD. GET YO SECRET SANTA A GIFT AND PICK A NAME IF YOU HAVEN'T YET AND THEN GET THAT PERSON A GIFT. COOL.

Hey guys, it's Devon. I'll be doing the schedule pretty often moving forward, so I should be able to help address any concerns. Just a reminder: December is our busiest time of year...that means try to keep your switching shifts to a minimum (it MUST be approved, you can't just tell us it's happening) and no weekend requests unless you've already cleared them with Ashley. Thank you!

Schedule 11.29.15-12.5.15

Happy Thanksgiving Everyoneeee! Thank you so much for all of your hard work over the last few weeks helping us prep for this week. All your hard work has most definitely been paying off and we appreciate you all very much. Here is the schedule for next week, it is officially Holiday season! Starting next weekend we will have extended hours Friday-Sunday. Next weekend it is just Saturday and Sunday, we will be open 9am-9pm Saturday and 10am-7pm on Sunday. As we get closer to Christmas we will be open a little later. Any questions comments concerns MGR169@urbanoutfitters.com 

Schedule 11.22.15-11.28.17

Hey Guys, I apologize for the last minute posting of the schedule. There will be ABSOLUTELY NO switching shifts for next week! Next week kicks off our Holiday Season and it is extremely important that everyone is here and here for their scheduled shifts. THIS Sunday I will be having a new hire orientation, if you are scheduled 9-12 it is mandatory that you are here. 

For Black Friday we will be doing a Holiday costume party! Don't forget to dress up as your favorite Holiday person, food, place, or thing. We will also be picking for our Secret Santa. We will be having a Holiday get together either Friday December 11th or the 18th, please let us know which would work best as we would love everyone there. Location is TBA, don't worry we won't go bowling again. We're thinking Bar Taco or some sort of restaurant/bar place where everyone can come. 

Lastly please don't forget to sign up for the Black Friday potluck! There's only a few of us on there! We love treats, dips, pizza, anything. We will also need paper goods as well.

Cliff will be Santa (he still needs his Mrs.Claus!), I've heard some pretty fun ideas so far I'm excited to see what everyone does! Also I've posted in the break room a pot luck sign up. I hear through the Urban grapevine that we had too many desserts last year, I've broken it down by category make sure to sign up for something!

Schedule 11.8.15-11.14.15

Schedule 11.1.15-11.7.15

Hey Guys- Please e-mail me over all of your availability so I can update my chart accordingly. Also I have made an updated locker list, please make sure you ALL have an assigned locker and are using it. That means ALL cell phones must be locked up, we will be checking at random on the floor and if we see it or you have it, it will be a write up. The selfies and posts while on the clock have got to stop. Also we are starting something new when you come in. Please be sure to check in with the Floor Sup'ing Manager once you get in so that you can be wrapped in on what's going on. Sales goal for the day, yesterday sales, promotions and any news we have going on. This is something we are rolling out starting next week, it'll take some time getting used to it but I would like you all to get in the habit of it and knowing what's going on!

Phone List/Impending Doom/The Norm

Hey all!

With the possibility of a hurricane this coming weekend/week we just wanted to make sure everyone had a completely updated phone list (I'd recommend taking a picture/printing/taking a screen shot of both this and both current schedules in case of emergency.)

Thanks.

Schedule 9.27.15-10.3.15

Hey Guys, I just want to thank you all for all your hard work that went into inventory prep and the execution of inventory. And thanks for putting up with us crazy managers the last few weeks!! You're the best.

Schedule 9.20.15-9.26.15

 Hey Guys, hang tight with us we are almost in the clear. Inventory is next Tuesday and Wednesday! I appreciate everyone's help and hard work with sku checking, pre counting, ect you guys rule. Again there is absolutely positively no switching next week. Don't ask the answer is no :) I have also included what managers are on for what days. That way if an issue were to come up and you needed a manager you can contact the appropriate one vs bugging one on their day off/they can't help you because they are not there. Any questions, comments, concerns mgr169@urbanoutfitters.com THANK YOUUUU!

Schedule 9.13.15-9.19.15

Hey Guys! This week is inventory prep week. Our inventory will be Wednesday September 22nd and Thursday September 23rd, Tuesday will be Back of House and Wednesday will be the floor and we will be beginning at 5am. If you have any friends you think would be interested in helping out PLEASE let me know, this would be for Thursday for the floor inventory. They would get paid for the day and also would be able to use our employee discount for the day as well, let me know ASAP and I can reach out to them. Any questions, comments, concerns, mgr169@urbanoutfitters.com

SCHEDULE 9.6.15-9.12.15

Hey Guys, sorry about the delay! Those of you scheduled for Monday it is Labor Day so you will get time and half for it. Any questions comments concerns mgr169@urbanoutfitters.com

Schedule 8.30.15-9.5.15

Hey Guys. For those of you who don't know TUESDAY we have a regional visit. Our Regional Manager Todd and Regional Merchandiser Michael will be in the store along with Jesse and Julie. This is a huge and important visit, this is Michael's first trip to the store. MONDAY those who are scheduled 6 to close, plan on being here until AT LEAST midnight, if not longer. I will provide pizza. Those of you scheduled on Sunday to close plan on being here until 8:30 or 9. We have a lot of preping to do in between now and Tuesday, please NO swapping shifts or calling out, I will tell you now it is a no. Thank you and if there are any questions mgr169@urbanoutfitters.com

Schedule 8.23.15-8.29.15

Schedule 8.16.15-8.22.15

 Next week is tax free week, if you decide to no call no show then you can consider yourself off the schedule. If you have requests going forward like I mentioned last week, plus submit them through Krono's for approval/disapproval. I will not be accepting emails, post its, texts, verbal requests, ect going foward. If you are switching shifts with someone you will need to get this approved by me, and me only not the other managers. If you have any issues then you can email me mgr169@urbanoutfitters.com thanks guys.

SCHEDULE 8.9.15-8.15.15

GOING FORWARD ALL REQUESTS NEED TO BE MADE THROUGH KRONO'S. ONCE THE REQUEST IS MADE I WILL EITHER APPROVE OR DENY IT. JUST BECAUSE YOU REQUEST IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU GET IT. 

Going forward with this will also allow you guys to see how many people have already requested the day off. The emails, post it's, request calendar, texts, ect are getting extremely over whelming and very difficult to do the schedule. If you have any future requests I suggest putting them into Krono's now. 

Again, it is not guaranteed that you have that day off and I will either be approving or denying the request through Krono's.

SCHEDULE 8.2.15-8.8.15

SCHEDULE 7.26.15-8.1.15

Those of you leaving/starting school please let me know when the last day you can work is. Next week is August! Thank youuuuu!

Schedule 7.19.15-7.25.15

 Hey Guys- 2 things this up coming Saturday and Sunday ( the 18th/19th) is the Westport Arts Fair those of you schedule please be mindful that getting into Westport/finding parking will probably take you a little longer so please plan accordingly. Also! This Sunday the 19th is Nick's going away get together/our Summer get together! 7pm we will be meeting at the field on Ellsworth St in Black Rock. I believe it is the corner of Ellsworth and Beacon however Ellsworth isn't long you'll find it and if you have any issues text Anita! Bring food, drinks whatever you want we can head to downtown Fairfield after if wanted as well. Any questions comments concerns MGR169@urbanoutfitters.com

SCHEDULE 7.12.15-7.18.15

SCHEDULE 7.5-7.11

Hey Guys- Due to the dip in business we have to take a big ol' payroll cut. Those of you who have been here just know it is the name of that retail game and I apologize. BUT the more money we make, the more payroll that will be added and the more hours I will be able to add $$$ that should be incentive for all of us to kick some sales butt. This weekend Thursday-Sunday we are running a 30% off sale, it is online as well just an FYI. Also for 4th of July we will be open 10 to 6, I know you closers are happy about that ;)

If you see an O/C next to your shift that means it is an On Call Shift which means depending on business demands we MAY or MAY NOT use your shift. You are required to call 2 hours before your shift begins to check in and see if we will be using it or not. If you do not call than it is considered a no call no show.

LASTLY Sunday July 19th (7pm) we will be having a going away get together/summer hang sesh cook out. Place is TBD, we are thinking somewhere in Black Rock. Activities will include wiffle ball and or kick ball, beer, food, more booze, and probably Byron and Eddie dancing. I will post a sign up sheet in the breakroom feel free to write down your name and if you want to bring some food! If you are under 21 and drinking and get in trouble for some reason, I don't know you, I never saw you in my life. K?

Go Team.

I am taking suggestions for fields or cool park spots we can go!

Any questions comments concerns MGR169@urbanoutfitters.com

Schedule 6.29-7.4

 Hey Guys,

Please keep in mind that next weekend is Fourth of July. We have boutiqued hours that day last year we were open 10 to 6 and will be doing the same this year. You also get paid time and a half that day for those of you scheduled. Those of you going back to school in August please start emailing me over the dates you are here until so I have an idea and can start planning for back to school. Any questions comments and concerns please email me. MGR169@urbanoutfitters.com

Schedule 06/21-06/27

Hey guys, while we did our best making the schedule, we didn't have everyone's full availability available to us. Please let us know ASAP if there are any issues with your schedule (telling us the morning of that day isn't acceptable--that's why we post it early) and we'll figure out something together. Thank you!

Schedule 6/14-6/20

 Hey Guys- Just a few things to go over with you all. PLEASE wait to be switched out of your zone before you wander off somewhere or go racing to the register to clock out. Sometimes you do need to wait, whether it be due to someone being late, helping a customer or we are caught up doing something. Do not go running to the break room or walkie to us asking to leave because then you will only have to wait even longer. Also, a 10 is a 10. It is not a 15 it is not a 20. It is not enough time to go run to Westport Pizza or Starbucks. It is enough time to eat a granola bar and get a cup of water, go to the bathroom, look at your phone that is LOCKED IN YOUR LOCKERS, and that's really about it. Please be mindful of that. Lastly, if we catch you mindlessly roaming or just petting things OR on your phones, you will be asked to clock out. I know that it gets slow and a little 'boring', however, there is ALWAYS something to do. Cleaning, folding, sizing, filling, ect. 

Ps Scheduling Note: I've said it a thousand times. A request is a request. It is not a guarantee that you will get that day off especially come the weekends. The weekends are over flowing with requests and I know I will not be able to honor everyone. And I am not accepting requests for 4th of July weekend. 

That is all I have for now. Cliff will be posting recaps on the blog every Friday for Fashion Friday please be sure to check it out! I would like to see as many of you involved that would like to be.

PPS: Wish Julie Happy Graduation next week when you see her!

Schedule 6/7-6/13

Hey Guys-

For whatever reason, it will not let me post your schedule to the blog however it is posted to Krono's and is as well hanging in the break room please be sure to check it. And not check it the day before your shift to only tell us that you can not in fact work that shift. If you need anything or there are any issues MGR169@urbanoutfitters.com :)

Schedule 5/31-6/6

 Hey Guys-next week is a little rough as far as hours go however it is only the first week of the month and as long as we keep hitting our goals there will be plenty of payroll. Sorry in advance the second week should look a little better :)

Schedule 5.24-5.30

 Hey Guys- Please make sure you have all set up your Krono's account please see a manager if you have not. For those of you coming back/new people this is our new time keeper and how you punch in and out. Also please make sure that you all have lockers as well and that all of your personal belongings, cell phones included, are kept and locked in here at all times during your scheduled shift. Any questions comments and or concerns MGR169@urbanoutfitters.com

Schedule 5.17-5.23

Hey Guys-Sorry for getting the schedule to you so late, we've been having computer/printer issues. Please keep in mind next weekend is Memorial Day weekend. Traffic is going to be horrendous please make sure you are giving yourself enough time to get here as well as find parking. We will also be looking at a potential sale off sale that weekend so be prepared for a mad house. Any questions comments concerns MGR169@urbanoutfitters.com.

Schedule 5.10-5.16

SCHEDULE 5/3-5/9

 Saturday May 9th is our Ice Cream/Dress event. We will be handing out free ice cream in our back patio area as well as feature a display with our top selling dresses. The event starts at noon and goes until we run out of ice cream. I'm anticipating a busy day this day, there is absolutely no calling out or shift changes for this day.

Schedule 4.26-5.2

 

Those of you who are in school and availability will be freeing up, please let me know when and what your plan is for the Summer. We have a few new people starting this week, Julie and Kelly! Be sure to help them out and give them any advice when you can! Effective Sunday, we have a new Timesaver program it is called Kronos. I have posted a poster in the break room explaining it. You guys by the end of this weekend/next week should have all set up your new user names and passwords with a manager. You should all as well have gotten the information sheet regarding it. This system is very new and very different from what we use now. Your schedule is already ahead of time programmed in, tardiness will be noted and Managers will be having to note the reasons being. Attendance points will now go into effect, those of us not following attendance policies will unfortunately be documented. Switching shifts becomes a bit more difficult as does requesting time off. Please familiarize yourself with it, it will be a change and learning experience for all of us. Attached to the information sheet I have added our store request policy. As some of you may have noticed I have taken down the calendar in the break room, it was getting completely out of control with the requests. There is a 2 weekend per month request maximum going forward. Again 3 requests per day- first and second person will typically be granted 3 person will depend on scheduling needs. Anything after 3 people typically will not be granted. If there is an issue with your schedule then you are responsible for finding the coverage, if coverage is not found you are responsible for being here. Failure to do so results in written documentation or termination. I've said it a million times I do my best to work with you all, cover your call outs, grant your requests but you as well need to work with me. If employment here is not something that you are either interested in or can fit into your personal schedule then we can discuss other options for you. I love this store and all of you however I still need to do my job as Store Manager to run and maintain an upbeat, profitable business. Any questions, comments, or concerns feel free to email me MGR169@urbanoutfitters.com

SCHEDULE 4/19-4/25

 

Schedule 4/12-4/18

Hey Guys- Just a reminder with the requests. I do my very best to work with you guys on your scheduling needs, last minute requests, ect. I can only allow 3 requests per day. The first 2 typically are granted and the 3rd is always a gamble and then anymore after 3 probably can not be able to work. Especially going forward on weekends we are going to be busy so I will need all hands on deck. Also this week we have a Jesse and Julie visit, they will be here on Tuesday! Any questions comments concerns come see me and or email me. Thanks guys.

Schedule 4/5/15-4/11/15

SCHEDULE 3/29-4/4 AND INSTAGRAM CONTEST

Hey Guys-Just a reminder that next Friday is Good Friday and that weekend is Easter weekend. I am anticipating us being busy that weekend and this upcoming one! More business means more payroll. Also there is a poster in the break room, our district is hosting an Instagram Contest! It would be super awesome to see some of our staff on our UOConnecticut page. The last 2 weeks UOConnecticut has made it into SLANT. You guys are a creative tech savy bunch so lets see some posts! I have posted in the breakroom a mini packet tutorial that has been sent down from another store in our district as an "instagram how to", check it out and be sure to refer to SLANT for this weeks topics, BOHO textiles (Meghan W and April I'm looking at you), Wall Art, and Natural Beauty. Send your pictures over to Ashley from STR166 and be sure to include Anita and Myself as well so we can see!

-Charlotte 

Schedule 2.8-2.14 and 2.15-2.21

Hey Guys-I've done your schedule for the next 2 weeks seeing as I will be leaving on vacation this Friday and will not be back until the following Monday. Westport has their winter break February 15th-22nd, during this week I have added on call shifts as we do not know what to expect, you guys know school breaks get crazy here with all the kids running around. Please do not confuse the on call shift with the 8 to 12 o/c to 2 shift, that shift you are scheduled 8 to 12 and depending on tasking/traffic/ect you are on call to stay until 2. Please let me know if you have any questions comments or concerns I will still be answering and reading emails while I am gone.

Schedule 2/1/15-2/7/15

Hey Everyone- Just fair warning, February and March are going to be some pretty rough months as far as payroll and hours go. Typically these are our slowest months and they do tend to be a bit tight. I apologize ahead of time but everyone is looking at 2 days a week I am trying to be as fair as I can! Sorry guys!

Schedule 1/25-1/31

The last few weeks have been very request heavy. I am typically good with honoring all requests and approving all scheduling changes however it is not possible with the size of our current staff. How the request calendar works is the first 2 requests are typically guaranteed, the 3rd always depends on scheduling needs, anything over 3 at this current time I can not accept. Sorry Guys.
