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...

Termination for both of them, time card fraud is considered theft of time.

If our DSD would have quit there would have been dancing in the street!

Can’t say if it was official Target policy or not, but at my store a TL could not write up a TM for an event/behavior unless the TL witnessed the event/behavior. If a TL saw a TM from another department doing something they shouldn’t have been doing, the TL who saw it could coach the TM, but if...
