This was how my Guest Services was like. It’s definitely a fire hazard.

I hesitate to compare it to PTSD because that’s a very traumatic thing and I don’t want to downplay it. But the couple times I have walked in a Target since I quit 18 months ago, I get this heavy anxiety. I am so glad I left, because it seems like things are only getting worse since then.

I wish I can say I’m surprised. The Kmartification is in full swing.

We were a high volume store, so maybe we were staffed more than typical. Or maybe I'm misremembering, but either way, each section had coverage. Now, sometimes one person will be responsible for multiple sections.

I remember a time when we had 2 people zoning in each section, and sometimes an extra person doing reshop. This was before Brian Cornell’s tenure. It just got progressively worse and worse.

I've taken a break from here the past month or so, so I'm only seeing this now. This is so sad. He was nice to everyone. He was very helpful over the years when I've had questions about my job. I will miss him.

Yes. One of the most misleading news headlines I’ve ever read. Not only are they reporting something old, but they make it sound like they’re doing away with self checkout altogether.

I will say though, you can sign up for health insurance outside of the open enrollment period if you have a qualifying life event, and you put in a request 60 days after it. So if the OP loses health insurance because they’re turning 26 in June, they might be able to sign up for health insurance...

Yeah, I live in New York which also requires 1 hour of sick time for every 30 hours worked. I think they require you earn up to 56 hours if you work for a company with more than 100 employees. I was definitely thankful of that. It gave me the peace of mind that I could call out if I was feeling...

And by the way, when they asked me to change my desired hours, I refused. Fuck that.

It all depends on how much of the corporate kool-aid your management drinks. We had an awesome STL once, who actually listened to your needs and desires and tried to be accommodating. Morale was high and sales were booming. She got a promotion and worked as a regional director or something like...

I had a great store director who was flexible about stuff like this. But she left, and a new one took her place who wasn’t very accommodating. I asked her if I could have every other Saturday or Sunday off, or one Sunday each month off. She said no. If I wanted a weekend off, I had to request a...

Whatever you decide to do, do it because YOU want to, not because you think other people want you to. As for your anxiety about leaving Target, I was in your shoes. I had a very similar trajectory, worked there almost 11 years until last June after I turned 30. I shared many of the same...

You derailed the topic originally…

That’s how you refer to someone if you don’t know what their gender is. How should you refer to the OP? “It”? Or would you just take a guess?
