That sounds like heaven at Target.
I told my team leader about possibly taking a leave sometime in the next month or two to focus on my business. I just re-designed, re-branded my car detailing business and I've got word out about services being available sometime mid march. I've had no takers to contact me and ask about potentially setting up a future date in the next month or so, but I have a feeling once temperatures rise and I'm officially back in business, I will get a few customers.
I'm worried because just starting out I'm not gonna have a lot of customers, so realistically I should stay at Target and work minimal hours, but my ETL and team leader do NOT want that. Working at target really held me back last year. It made me ignore my clients, made me cancel appointments because I just wasn't having a good day after work and the last thing I wanted to do was wash a car, Target made me dead. Too dead to even rake in $1000 a week. I hate myself for this, which is why I feel I need to just take a leave all together for a month or so and if business is slow I can come back and work minimal hours and Target will absolutely need to cater to that.
Done messing around. I'm glad your new store has worked out, and you feel much better being demoted. It must really suck to have to demote but new opportunities come along. It's a story all too similar that anyone can relate to... I don't want Target to be my career for as long as some people have admitted here. I am young, nineteen years old, and I have a lot more to give to myself and the world than give Target 15 years of my life. I've already given them three years too many. If we ever get to $15/hr at TM level, that may be enough to say "Schedule me, but no more than 30 hours a week." if business is slow. If I get the opportunity to make $1000 a week, to make more than $4000 a month doing my own business, yeah, I'll be returning in the winter months unless I make enough money by the end of the year to open my own car wash garage to continue business.
I'm extremely burnt out from Target at this point. A huge part of me says I really should just quit, no jobs lined up, find a way to make money through work like Shipt, or set up a Fiverr account and write things for other people's businesses. Product descriptions, voice over work, help them setup spreadsheets, turn their ideas into words you can read off a piece of paper, etc... at least I would be free. I've tried looking for new jobs and every time the one thing that stops me is "Fuck working for another guy or girl."
