Anyone here ever work at Best Buy? Seasonal work.. (employee, jobs, company)

Well, I worked there last season as seasonal and they asked me if I could stay on. I said ok and signed this little paper. I was never scheduled again and assumed they did not need me anymore. Any ways, flash forward to today, I'm applied to another location and haven't heard anything yet.

When they hire you as seasonal, are they supposed to give you something telling you won't be working there anymore at the end? I'm just hoping I didn't screw anything up, thanks.

At the company I work for seasonal help is hired under a different code than the regular employees. We usually use it for college students that come home on breaks and can only work during the holidays, and maybe during the summer.
Because of being coded as seasonal employees they automatically drop from our payroll if they go without working for six weeks, it's mostly a sort of convenience so that the mgrs. don't have to do terminations for a bunch of employees at the end of every Christmas season. Saves a little bit of time is all.
There is not any kind of paperwork given to the employee when they leave to go back to school. They just stop getting put on the schedule when they aren't needed any more and that's it, until the next season when they come back and get rehired.
I doubt very much you screwed anything up.

The company I work with just went through another round of cutting hours for store employees. We aren't hiring any extra help this summer at all, so I'm not surprised that you haven't heard anything back from Best Buy. Jobs are just hard to come by right now.
Good luck.

Did you read that document, or just sign it? That document represents your status in that store when the seasonal employment period ends.
