New Employee, Want to Transfer Already I was hired about a month ago at a Staples location that is a bit far from me. During the interview (which was on a Saturday around noon) the distance even came up but I said that it wouldn't be a problem because I have a car. Turns out, the commute is a HUGE pain in the ass and even though the store is only about 23 miles from me, It takes over an hour by car and 2 hours by bus. When I start work at 10, I have to wake up at 6 or 630.

This week I noticed that a store significantly closer to me and away from the congested downtown area is looking to hire for my specific job. Would it be bad or look bad to try to transfer to that store even though I kind of just started? The closer store contacted me and wants me but I have to bring it up to my manager and I kind of feel bad.
