You’re absolutely right about that, I guess I had tunnel vision looking at Corporate’s seeming inability to get out of this public opinion mess, not thinking about how they got themselves into it. Yes, Corporate caused the problem by their own actions, I just think they have ticked off so many...

Corporate can’t control sales or boycotts or how people feel about Target, so they jump on the few areas that they can have some control over: Dress codes and attendance. It makes them feel like, and delude themselves into thinking they have convinced the rest of the world that, they are in...

Unfortunately, yes, they can, if your state labor law allows it. It’s 🐓💩, but they can do it. In California if you are sent home early they have to pay you for half your shift, so if you are scheduled for 8 hours and sent home before you work half your shift they have to pay you for 4 hours. To...

Yes, there certainly should be some accountability on their end, but store management that is so irresponsible as to know that they did not have an opener and do absolutely nothing about it is likely also too irresponsible to hold the guilty parties accountable. I don’t know what your management...

I worked backroom back in the day and due to the nature of the work pants didn’t last too long back there, at least not in the condition that was acceptable for work. I bought my pants at Goodwill, although any thrift store would do. They had tons of khaki pants in good condition, most of them...

Welcome! Sorry to say, but you appear to be on very thin ice if your attendance doesn’t improve immediately. The fact that the SD called to ask about your situation may be a sign that they are going to give you a last chance, please don’t waste it. My fingers are crossed that you worked that...

Most of our backroom team members were college kids 18-22.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the above sentences. WTF does this add to answering the question at hand? Nothing. As far as giving away boxes goes, and this may have changed, in the old days Target was paid for the cardboard bales, and the money went into the store fund to pay for Team...

Leadership may let you switch departments after 90 days, or they may not, depending on the circumstances at your store. If what HR says about you consistently getting 35-40 hours a week turns out to be true, it’s likely that it’s difficult for your store to fill Inbound-GM shifts, in which case...

No, Depends are for Seniors…

Perhaps the brain trust up at Corporate feels that the two boycotts they have already caused by their political machinations are more than enough, and don’t care to risk ticking off those few people who still have a positive opinion of Spot with more ill-advised political shenanigans.

Welcome back! The first key to staying at Spot is attendance, attendance, and, attendance. Keep yours good and you have a chance at staying. Also, be productive, be flexible, and be aware of the fact that whatever management asks you, they hate to hear the word “no”. If they ask you to come in...
