My state has strong enforcement of labor laws including meals and breaks. Throughout the time I've worked at our store (I joined TBR several years back), our store has been very intentional about our meal compliance. In our state, meal compliance hits at 5 hours. We are told if we get past 4.5...

Target is by no means the lousiest employer in America. I've personally worked in a couple of workplaces where the scapegoating, malicious gossip and "back stabbing" were much worse. For reasons we'll never fully know, the leaders of OP's former workgroup at Target -- who created the initial...

Whoa! I had been wanting to ask about this but my work shift today was quite busy, being this is a Monday holiday for many Americans - a convenient opportunity for the most famous American recreational pastime, SHOPPING! I did not have a chance personally to go back to the bike wall to see...

This is the first I've heard of this. Maybe this is being implemented in phases by district. Maybe when I go into work in an hour I'll find out that this has in fact come to pass. Que sera, sera!

Thanks for bringing up the "bait-and-switch" perspective. The world of business administration involves a lot of public relations "spin" to rationalize management decisions. Corporate communications specialists make sure that the company's leadership "speaks with one voice" to peddle a storyline...

IMO, we don't really get a lot of guest volume until about 9:30 or 10:00 in the morning. My thoughts weren't that 8:00 am is a bad time to open, but if Target is desperately trying to control labor cost per hour the store is open, the company could get more "bang for the buck" by using the...

Looking back a few months later, I wonder what exactly was accomplished by the Target Together shindig? While IMHO Target's Christmas season visual displays and decor were better than the previous year, what sticks out in my mind has how much hours have been reduced in stores. We are managing...

This is not gonna turn out well. I'm not exactly blown away by the idea......... not sure who at Corporate was up-up-and-away with this idea. 🎈🌪️

Does anybody know how much it costs monthly for Target to operate a self-checkout (SCO) machine? While SCO machines are touted as cheaper than having human checkout advocates, I wonder how much the monthly costs are for leasing/financing the machines, installation, maintenance and repairs and...

Sadly, the lack of suitable training and supportive types of on-the-job-guidance for Brad could result in safety hazards, as well as quality-control problems. More likely than not, Brad is capable of performing the essential functions of this job competently. The problem here is without the...

In our store, "Inventory" means you are on keys. You get to answer guest calls for assistance unlocking secured items, unlocking dressing rooms, etc. In between those "key runs", you will get to push a three-tier of stuff onto the shelves in a particular section of the store, i.e. health &...

Any new updates you can share? Are you still working at Target, or have the powers-that-be involuntarily promoted you to guest?

I see you have written exactly two posts. Are you actually a Target team member?

I recall getting these Team Voice Survey things pop up at random, I took the survey.

Doesn't that guy know that Target is a gun-free zone? Shame on him.
