At my store, your availability for FF would work really well. It's not uncommon for hours to be cut, but I agree with you that what you've seen does seem drastic. I'd approach your ETL with a question along the lines of, "I know that hours will fluctuate and that my availability isn't wide open...

About vacation time, I thought we did NOT have to use it for a scheduled day off. Last time I put in for it and wanted to be paid for the time, I had to do two requests: one to not be scheduled and one to use vacation time. Has that changed? Also, I'm with @redeye58 - I have a ton of sick time...

That doesn't sound right at all. It's not like a person PLANS to wake up with a stomach bug (unless they're needing a mental health day), but a good TM isn't going to blow off a shift often enough to not be able to use sick time appropriately. A couple years ago I was out unexpectedly for more...

My store has a new SD and I've noticed that we don't seem to be using those called off hours as much. Used to be that TLs were allowed to over-schedule, with the idea that there are always call-offs so it balanced out and sometimes still didn't use all the allotted hours. Not anymore. Which...

It's less about the cents than the percentage. I mean, yes, the cents are what adds to your paycheck but the percentage is the indication of how good your review was.

I don't think so, but if we can, that would be great. Hardly ever call off so I have a pile of hours saved up.

Same here. We recently had a truck cancelled and while I could have still kept my hours, I was just as glad for an unexpected day off. Recent checks have been bigger than usual because of holiday pay and even some overtime, so a smaller check won't be a problem this time. I'll probably pad...

Might be your co-workers have been offered more hours and they're not interested. Hard for me to believe, because I take all the hours I can get, but there are TMs at my store who are fine with just a few short shifts a week. I think a lot of them still live with their parents and don't know...

I don't remember ever getting time and a half for Christmas Eve. Back when I worked office jobs, that was a paid day off. Except for the one office job where I was only 3/4 time and the Scrooge who took over for the previous director pinched pennies and didn't allow even my 6 hours for the day...

...the price point at that "flex" space is way lower, right?) Your comment about the ETL pulling case stock reminds of a TL I used to have who would *help* me by pushing cases of shampoo, with convenient pick labels on the boxes, but never with what came in the HBA repacks. Yet he would gripe...

At my store, those of us who show up are usually allowed to stay longer and the hours get sucked up that way. TMs are moved around, some to Fulfillment, some to the front, some to pull batches. Sometimes, a TM will be asked to come in on a day off or early for a called off shift, but that's less...

This reminds me of how new hires were getting more hours in more work centers than other TMs who's been on board for a while and asking for more hours (not getting even close to OT). And these TMs weren't bad workers. However, I know of at least one who wanted more hours but isn't well-liked by...

Haven't been yet, but every year we're asked the same things. Last year, there actually was some OT, which was great. But we'll never go to an overnight schedule as much as I wish we would. Starting an hour earlier is good because there are no guests to work around but that's the only change...

Hasn't happened in a while at my store, but a few years ago, when we still had a Flow team, all of us were scheduled for 3-hour shifts. Lots of TMs complained about it hardly being worth it to show up, especially for those who drove from further away. This was also before the $15 starting wage...

Hmm, not being a Jr. or anything else requiring a suffix, I wonder how this works for other people who are? I've done payroll for a couple of small businesses before, but never had this issue come up. Now I'm curious.

It is, but it's not because I prefer it. My problem is that it makes me a little nuts when things aren't done correctly, so if I stay and do as much as I can, at least I'll know that those things are done right. What I'd really like is what I had before: a consistent, reliable helper. (That TM...

Indeed. Might be TMI, but I prefer to take care of this particular bodily function at home, in my own bathroom. It's not that I'm squeamish about it, just more convenient while getting ready for work. (Once had a coworker who was squeamish about it and she'd hold it all day if she had to...

Absolutely correct! I've long struggled with perfectionism and being a control freak. It's worked out pretty well with some jobs, but it's really not such a great thing in the world of Target.

Yeah. Except I regularly stay past my scheduled out time, having begged for help in the past and received it inconsistently. Often the help I do get is ... not always so helpful. It's always about call-offs and difficulty making the right hires. Can't remember the last time I was told that hours...

TMs at my store can get into trouble for not taking lunch breaks by a certain number of hours into our shift. No one really monitors 15-minute breaks that much, except in areas where constant coverage actually matters, like for cashiers. But also I don't think any TM at my store has ever been...
