If I was 75% happy where I was, I would plan to stay there, but the final decision would depend on who the leaders would be at both stores. Good leaders are priceless and for me would be worth following, or escaping, as the case may be. While it would be exciting to open a new store, Target is a...

The best thing to do is to ask your leadership to train you on how they want it done, that way you will be sure to meet their expectations, and if there are any errors it will be a training issue. Good luck!🍀

Fingers crossed that whoever buys Target Corp, if it is indeed sold, will restore the company to viability with a plan for long-term success, and not just gut it for the real estate and send it into liquidation as happened when Dayton-Hudson Corporation (who also owned Target) sold Mervyn’s...

Congrats on your 20 year Anniversary. Wish I could help more, but all I know about anniversary bonuses is that when I hit 10 years, if memory serves, I received not a check but a $50 gift card. Pretty sure it was accounted for someway on my paycheck so that taxes could be deducted. Not an expert...

I love it! My mom used to tell me that if I needed iron I could eat a nail.🤣

Welcome back! Your availability might be limited, but night and weekend availability is highly valued (at least at my store), so you might have a chance. Back in the day when I was there, my store would have snapped you right up, we were always trying to fill night and weekend shifts. Your...

Former Backroom TL here. I’ve been out of the soul-destroying Hellscape that is Target for a while, but from what I hear from the current sufferers, it’s 100x worse than it was when I was there, and that is indeed saying something. Stress levels are off the charts. Everything seems to be running...

Welcome! Please don’t quit your other job even if Spot decides to keep you. Target is fine as a second job or pocket money job, but if you are a new hire and have to live off your paycheck the pickings will be very slim after the Holidays and except for Back to School will likely stay that way...

Congratulations! Wishing you good luck and all the best in your retirement!

Welcome! And welcome to the chaos that is Target. I wish I could say that it gets more organized as time goes on, but based on my store, it doesn’t. Keep checking for your schedule on My Time, and if you aren’t on next weeks schedule, as sometimes happens with new hires, contact your TL so they...

That TL must be on someone’s list, and not their Holiday gift list… A company I worked for years ago started a policy that punished being late as severely as calling off. Miraculously people stopped being late, mostly because if they were running late they would just call off. For some reason...

Hope you’re ok and on your way to a speedy recovery.

ASANTS, but being promoted to Team Trainer should mean something positive for you. Back in the day we made our best team members team trainers. As team leads we couldn’t promote them or give them raises, but we could make them team trainers, adding that to their reviews and hopefully boosting...

Target’s attempt to run a retail business and a fulfillment center in the same store without adequately staffing either team is like shooting themselves in both feet, with the same result.
