    Archived Quitting Target: question about benefits

    Ok thank you. I'll talk to the HR lady today. I average 40 hours because of overtime (I am plano and get 40 hours/week so my regular average is 39.67 hours for example). The good thing is that they've cut our hours the last couple weeks so I've been able to use a lot of my PTO.

    Archived Quitting Target: question about benefits

    After almost 8 years at Target, I just got a job offer for an office job making twice what I make now. I am super, SUPER excited. No more 4am, 2am or overnights, working Holidays... Anyways, I am going to turn in my resignation tomorrow. I have about 15 hours of PTO and 90 hours of vacation...

    Archived Target's Website Crashes on Cyber Monday.

    Are you new? Target has had IT problems for YEARS. In stores and online. They know when the site is going to crash. Do you know how they know? Because it has already happened! MULTIPLE TIMES. But they are too cheap to fix it. It's going to backfire. They are trying to increase their online...

    MEGATHREAD Flexible Fulfillment

    All I have to say about Flex is that it's killing our store instock. We didn't get more trucks to balance off the extra sales. Black Friday and Saturday during the Holiday Shop promo was a misery. As soon as we would put stuff on the shelf, Flex was grabbing it. Customers were pissed. And online...

    Archived Black Thursday 2015

    According to one of my ETLs, the rumors for Black Friday are Target will open on Thanksgiving day at NOON. I hope this isn't true. Anyone heard anything?

    Archived Anyone else hate their job?

    I have been with Target for 7+ years and THEY KNOW who they want for a specific position. They just interview 2 extra people because they have to. Just an FYI. They wanted me for the new PFresh whatever person. They trained me for 3 months and when the remodel was about to be over, I asked the...

    Archived can i get in trouble for....

    You can check the price of an item on your register. It will tell you the sale associated with it. I haven't cashiered in a while so I forgot which key it is. My experience is that people don't know how to read sale signs. They always buy 1 package when the signs say you need to buy at least 2...

    Archived Review Grades this year...

    It's May 4th and I still didn't get my review. I had 4 different TLs in 1 year. I can always check my pay stub to see my raise... that's the most important right?

    Archived Do you actually like your job?

    I hate it. It used to be OK. When everybody was losing their job, I was happy to have one. I loved my bosses and the job was OK. Could be worse. But the pay sucks. I average 38 hours/week and can barely afford to have my own place. If you don't live with a spouse or significant other that makes...

    Archived Someone ratted me out...

    for some stupid thing. We were allowed to have our own music on the salesfloor before the store opens. Then, they decided no more. People were supposedly texting and productivity was going down. Now, when I am on the salesfloor before the store opens, I follow this rule. But I also do ad...

    Archived Could I do this?

    Thanks for all the input. My ETL will train me with the interview part. She has been with Target for 20+ years so she knows how those interviews work. That's all I need from her. Everyone has been super helpful now that they know I got an interview at HQ.

    Archived Could I do this?

    I have been a TM for 4.5 years, I have a 4-year college degree and previous prof.experience (3 years) that I got after graduating college. I applied for positions at Target HQ and was called back for a phone interview. I didn't do well since they called me back to tell me I was no longer under...

    Archived After 4 years at Target, I am starting to hate this place

    I agree with you. That being said, I really feel like Target is trying to cut corners to make even more profits. If all this had happened say in 2009-2010 when the economy was still bad I could have understood. But things are looking good for Target (stocks are higher than in 2007!)and I can...

    Archived After 4 years at Target, I am starting to hate this place

    I read this article the other day http://www.startribune.com/business/161162225.html In the meantime: - I only work between 22 and 30 hours a week now ( I used to get 40) - they lured me for a promotion only to realize they would have to pay me close to $11/hour and that was too much -...

    Archived Problems with LOD....how should I handle it?

    This is what I would do. When she is negative, don't just say "OK" and try to "correct" what you've been doing. Ask her exactly what she dislikes about what you're doing. For example, when she says your zoning sucks, ask her wat exactly you didn't do right in a very nice and sort of naive way...

    Archived Target kicked me in the shins today

    Yes the position was posted on a wall ( just that there was 1 opening available) . I never saw it online when I tried to apply. My gut feeling was telling me something was going on. Everytime I asked about it, the TL told me she didn't know anything yet (she did obviously since she did the...

    Archived Target kicked me in the shins today

    They thought about me for the new Pfresh assistant back in December. Both the ETL and TL came to me personally and asked me to be the new Pfresh assistant (brand new position at my store). I've been sort of training for this position. I say sort of since we have no Pfresh yet so there's so much...
