    20 year service reward

    Congrats on your 20 year Anniversary. Wish I could help more, but all I know about anniversary bonuses is that when I hit 10 years, if memory serves, I received not a check but a $50 gift card. Pretty sure it was accounted for someway on my paycheck so that taxes could be deducted. Not an expert...

    To That One Guest - II

    I love it! My mom used to tell me that if I needed iron I could eat a nail.🤣

    I’m Back (maybe)

    Welcome back! Your availability might be limited, but night and weekend availability is highly valued (at least at my store), so you might have a chance. Back in the day when I was there, my store would have snapped you right up, we were always trying to fill night and weekend shifts. Your...

    Being a leader in 2025

    Former Backroom TL here. I’ve been out of the soul-destroying Hellscape that is Target for a while, but from what I hear from the current sufferers, it’s 100x worse than it was when I was there, and that is indeed saying something. Stress levels are off the charts. Everything seems to be running...

    Any advice how I can try my best to get kept to be a regular instead of seasonal employee by the new year?

    Welcome! Please don’t quit your other job even if Spot decides to keep you. Target is fine as a second job or pocket money job, but if you are a new hire and have to live off your paycheck the pickings will be very slim after the Holidays and except for Back to School will likely stay that way...

    Didn't receive training schedule during orientation

    Welcome! And welcome to the chaos that is Target. I wish I could say that it gets more organized as time goes on, but based on my store, it doesn’t. Keep checking for your schedule on My Time, and if you aren’t on next weeks schedule, as sometimes happens with new hires, contact your TL so they...

    Calling out policy?

    That TL must be on someone’s list, and not their Holiday gift list… A company I worked for years ago started a policy that punished being late as severely as calling off. Miraculously people stopped being late, mostly because if they were running late they would just call off. For some reason...

    Hope you’re ok and on your way to a speedy recovery.

    Is them sending someone over to help you a sign you are doing bad?

    ASANTS, but being promoted to Team Trainer should mean something positive for you. Back in the day we made our best team members team trainers. As team leads we couldn’t promote them or give them raises, but we could make them team trainers, adding that to their reviews and hopefully boosting...

    The skeleton crew thing is getting really old really fast

    Target’s attempt to run a retail business and a fulfillment center in the same store without adequately staffing either team is like shooting themselves in both feet, with the same result.

    Would it be wrong for me to try to get out of helping with Inventory?

    Yes, it would be wrong for you to try to get out of helping with inventory. You said you would help, people are depending on you, so keep your word and do what you have obligated yourself to do. A ten hour shift is not a big deal, and in my opinion, helping with inventory is an easy gig. (If you...

    Intermittent leave

    I don’t understand it either, but the only thing that makes sense to me is that you have 36 hours left on your current leave, and 358 hours left for future leaves. Check with your store to see when you need to come back, so they can put you back into the system, get you on the schedule, and to...

    Price match with Walmart & Amazon

    The folks who run Target Corporation, through their poor business decisions generally and also politically, have lost customers/guests through boycotts and consumer dissatisfaction to the point that HQ feels that Spot can no longer afford to accommodate guests by price matching competitors...
