^This is true, you may not have a choice, and even if you do, management may not take it well if you don’t make the move. That being said, if you like what you are doing and are good at it (and having had green team metrics all last year proves that you are good at it), I would try to stay as...

Two Rules of Target to keep in mind: 1. Target is cheap. 2. If you wonder why Target isn’t giving you something, refer to rule 1. Allergies suck. They attack at the most in opportune times, and when know you have them it’s a good idea to be prepared for the inevitable by keeping Kleenex or a...

Sounds to me like your SD is scheduling ODTMs in this manner either to performance out ODTMs through attendance or to try to use the ODTMs to keep the regular TMs hours low enough to keep them ineligible for benefits. Maybe it’s an attempt to bank hours for later by scheduling people the SD...

If you report anything to anybody do it anonymously and make sure you cover your tracks. The Hotline might investigate the sexual harassment, but particularly at this point I wouldn’t trust it. If you decide to inform them cover your butt and don’t call the Hotline yourself. Nothing good will...

Haven’t heard of Backroom 365, but the prep sounds like what used to be called snapback when we still had backroom teams. It was followed by an inspection visit from the district manager and his entourage and, if memory serves, the backroom deemed the best by the DM and his minions received some...
