I'm not salary. During Q4 heavy weeks, I can push upwards of 60+ hours taking 4-5 trucks a night. We get nudged heavily to taking a week vacation after Q4 is over to reset from all the craziness we go through. Our store is big on work-life balance, and making sure its leadership is in the right...

Some of us work in really high volume stores, and sometimes we gotta stay a little bit extra to make sure the work gets done so the store is ready to open in the morning. We're never super far over, maybe an hour at worst, 2 in extreme weeks, so cutting an hour or so off the beginning of the...

Doubtful. Care to explain why you think that keeping your employees from working more than 40 hours is a bad thing?

Ignore him, he doesn't even work for Target, so has zero clue about the current status of Target dynamics and likes to yell at clouds in his copious amount of free time. To answer your question, I've been told break rooms are privacy areas and thus, no cameras are allowed to be placed there...

We do this too, but our ETL's/HR also change our start times so we're not actually late...

The Q4 implementation concerns us as well. We're just getting on top of the convos now, pulling their history and having come to jesus convos about what the change will mean for their employment if it continues. It struck home for some, others responded by calling out the next day. Oh well.

To simplify, 2s come to work, do their job and go home on schedule. 3s go above and beyond, work fast, will extend when asked to help complete tasks, etc. 1s have a history of being late, calling out, rarely getting their work completed on time, leave trash, cardboard, etc., generally need their...

Honestly, at our store, I'm good with it. Our 2s and 3s don't have attendance issues. It's the 1s that have all kinds of attendance issues and getting them termed takes forever with the "let's try and help them get better" mindset. This will help us move the dead weight out quicker...

September from what I've been told. Expect 30% of your team to go buh bye.

You can't see your documentation on attendance issues, only leaders & HR. They'll be going to a point system soonish, we were told to expect a 30% loss in work force. I believe it, as it's currently really hard to term someone with bad attendance.

Target stock has risen ~10% since this post was made. They probably made the right choice.

Social media has beaten that out of major retailers. I'm sure the people involved denounce it, but to take a strong stance publically either way is corporate suicide nowadays.

No major retailer is going to make a strong statement condemning ICE actions with the current state of the economy and a President that acts like a petulant child given an opportunity to do so, and opening themselves up to major backlash and boycotting, especially while Target is starting to...

Don't worry, stores will be sending everything back to you soon enough.

2 weeks I believe is the norm. I went for 1 week and pulled back because our store is the Inbound training store for the district. I didn't learn a lot from what I already knew, but gave me new ideas to bring back and made our store better.
