Everyone has said it best, leave your work AT WORK!!! If possible, see if you can 1) see a therapist for your work anxiety. 2) Develop a healthy, relaxing hobby that gives you joy. Work-life balance now. Or your sanity will be in jeopardy. Good luck.

Back when I was a TL, I pointed out a Statistic that Our Store 🏬 was good in that We (as a collective) contributed to. For Individuals, I gave Tailored Messaged Cards to Those Specifically AND put those Individual On The Board for Recognition for not only others to see, but other Stores 🏬 to...

To not have huddles even sharing current events is also a hindrance I feel. We’re flying blind. But that “freight” gets pushed, and that’s all that matters I suppose. Eff our Well Being and Health 🫠😒

Exactly what I told her. An Entire Shift (Overnight) that doesn’t get key information for things like open enrollment, benefits etc. I don’t think is a “waste” of payroll. Mind you before she was an ETL, her and I were TL’s for a store 🏬 prior. I do my best now to share my experience with the...

One time I actually asked the current HR ETL as to why an HR staff member would not be scheduled 📅 for Overnight Shifts, (Some stores 🏬 I had worked at had at least one). She told me that because the Overnight Shift never engaged in any of the Target 🎯 activities. She also said that “Payroll”...

People being “sent” over to you probably was just done in order for the both of you to complete the assignment “quicker” and move on to another assignment. No need to worry.

You’re not “cooked”. Just continue to be mindful of your own “business”. It’s hard to coach a subordinate on attendance when you yourself can’t be present. Food for thought. Good 👍🏾 luck.

ASANTS rings true for this simple word, size. It should ring true for a larger Target 🎯 store 🏬 that has more sales to actually have more team members in more areas of the store than smaller Target 🎯 stores. However as we all can attest, that’s not always the case. We do what we can with the...

When promoting in any industry, you’re going to to have to ask the “tough” questions. One of the toughest things about being a leader, making the tough decisions. In regards to your own personal development in your career, ask yourself “Am I up for this?” Reason why I said ask yourself is...

@BKop16 Does this have anything to do with Regular Trailer Unloading? Years ago, they used to do this: (Scan Every Single Item). If the item double beeped, you put a line through it marking it as backstock. Mind you they had an entire “team” for the process but yeah. Just curious.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this gets implemented in some way or form. At my other job, they are already in the process of changing schedules and how they are working, created, etc. If it “saves” Spot and helps Corporate’s bottom line, best believe it will be used Target 🎯 Org wide

@purplenurple in the Breakroom search engine, enter Cartoon Penguin, read some past posts by them and you will see and begin to understand why everyone is calling “you” Cartoon Penguin. In regards to getting out of Inventory, just man up and do it. As others have said, it’ll look bad on you if...

When speaking with your ETL, and having that Frank conversation, be transparent. If your ETL isn’t working with you, you can try asking for alternate weekends off. The key 🔑 in the end is your desired hours. To get all weekends off is a unicorn. The On Demand route is another viable option IF...

@ION the Prize ASANTS agreed. However, you have to see what works best for your specific Store 🏬. As long as the majority of your work shift isn’t spent unloading the truck and ample time is given to actually push the freight.

Never 👎🏾 understood that with Target 🎯. Deny someone time off. Then when they leave for greener pastures, Leadership is like “Why’d they leave??” Smh 🤦🏾‍♂️.
