Costco's current calendar system could be faster and more manageable to check. If you'd like to view your schedule, you need to log in 3 times and navigate the poorly designed website, which needs to be optimized for mobile input.
This software allows users to subscribe to the Calendar on their preferred platform (Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, etc.) for seamless access. The software will also store canceled/changed shifts to ensure the user has all information.
While this software is "use at your own risk," it's improbable that Costco will penalize you for using it since it doesn't do anything sketchy. Not only that, but I doubt Costco is monitoring their ancient employee website.
-
Go to your calendar software and look for an action called either "subscribe," "add calendar," or "import calendar."
-
Insert the following URL:
<server ip>:<ICS_PORT env variable>/<ICS_SECRET env variable> -
You're done.
Make sure you have Git, NodeJS, and NPM installed.
