Hello all first time Poster. I have been with Target for 4 years in the same store. Recently I feel as though I have been discriminated against. Ill keep the story short and to the point. Last wed I complained to my TL that another team member keeps staring at me despite me asking him to stop and it is making me very uncomfortable. The TL said sure no problem I will talk to him. He came back and said he spoke to the TM and not to worry any more. Not even 10 min later The TM walks by me staring me down laughing shewing me off with his hand. I asked him what his problem was? He responded that I remind him of a monkey! Now I am a white male and have a medical issue where I let out small uncontrollable sounds from time to time. Just for the record, the other TM is a Hispanic male. I went and complained to TL again who happens to also be Hispanic and friends outside of work with this TM (yes it is his TL too). Said he would handle it. and hour later he said he talked to him again and said that cause I make funny sounds.
This was not good enough for me and I went to the STL with my complaint. I said that not only was I discriminated against that I was also retaliated against. Now come Friday, nothing had been done and no leadership in building. Kid walks by and gives me another dirty look while laughing. I report to the AP TL who was the only one there. Today I go in and tell the STL I want a sit down to discus and he reply's he replies that he hasn't had time to talk to anyone.
Anyway he finally gets down to it only to have my ETL and HR tell me that him and I need to stay in opposite corners. That was it! I was and am so pissed off I told them that this was being swept under the rug and I will not stand for it! Told them I want a transfer as I can no longer respect or work for a mgt staff and a TL that obviously lied to save his buddy and that covers serious issues for whatever reasons.. They were more then happy to make those calls on my behalf.
Well I looked up the code of conduct and it states that both are termination warranted. And since I have a witness that heard it all but they didn't even bother to talk to him about it. I plan on calling the hotline and contacting the state and filing a discrimination complaint. FYI our STL is 26 and our ETL HR is 22 first job since college.....
Anyone have any thoughts on this??
Thanks!!!
