    Rehire after termination

    So the hiring is done purely at corporate now. But each DCs HR is still able to intervene. Be warned that assuming corporate does accept an application and schedule you for orientation, your local DC's HR is able to veto that and deny you the job. Happened to two guys I knew, one of which had...

    SCO is getting a bit ridiculous

    Growing up I always saw ads for the Hess truck during Christmas time, and toy sets for a register also existed. There is nothing new about any of that.

    [The Great] Port Strike [of October 2024]

    On hold until after the election, notably. Somebody paid a pretty penny to ensure another market shut down did not occur until the next President is elected. All other conspiracies aside, I think it is important for the country as a whole that we did not add to the chaos right before the...

    [The Great] Port Strike [of October 2024]

    Purchase Order. Standard industry term, used to (you guessed it) order items from other companies. Its the orders Target makes to, say Pampers, to aquire material for the DC which is then distributed in-network to Target stores.

    Does Target operate their own email servers for their company communication or is it outsourced to third party?

    Even if it is "internal" anything IT in any major company is outsourced to India.

    Target slows store theft, but at a cost to shopping experience

    I argued the entire time I was in AP at the RDC we needed to start gaining more visibility over non-electronic items. So much theft DC side of smaller items like medicine and body products 4 to a pack at $25 each that were not given the same treatment as a $15 pair of earbuds because those were...

    Service & Engagement Denim trade in, yikes!

    Willing to bet these get sorted and the ones not totally worthless (totally ripped/holes etc.) Are sold to third world countries for a premium. Not actually broken down and "recycled"

    In the news

    As is always said, all Target had to do was continue to not be Walmart. Now everything they sell is hardly better quality, and at 33% higher cost. I used to see people genuinely wear Target clothes all the time. Now I cant think of a single time I have seen someone wearing a shirt bought from...

    HR

    Its just another merit job. Degree helps, kissing ass helps. I liked most of my HR team, but I definitely knew who to actually go to for help when necessary.

    Lead questioning my status

    Hire date is not protected information. Not that you had any obligation to say to him yes/no. It does make a difference for some things that are relevant to leads (like if you still need to be wearing a vest) but they can go get that information elsewhere if necessary.

    Target no longer accepting checks for red card payments in store

    Bank accounts are not free at all banks/credit unions (so it will heavily depend on what is available locally) And debit cards are not free, the companies charge a percentage to process the transaction on every purchase to the merchant, which is then passed on to you the consumer via increased...

    Red lights

    I was in the position that records the incidents and documents the footage. Those keys dont stop anything if that driver isnt paying attention (which is already the case if they are ignoring a red light). It takes several mistakes to line things up which is what the salvo update was meant to...

    Red lights

    In no way does that little key stop a driver from physically pulling a trailer.

    Another year of no raises

    Arent all of the equipment equiped with the devices that require using badge to sign on now? Otherwise the Training Specialists maintain a spreadsheet with every TMs equipment and specialty function training so an OM can look it up if they suspect a TM is using something they shouldnt.

    Red lights

    Anyone under 90 days is 1 strike you are out for anything, always has been. and yes the key is serious. If you have ever bad a trailer pulled while you are working in one (it happens more than you would hope) you would understand. TMs can die from it. Thats why the key system was implemented...
