    No one cares about meal compliance

    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...

    Officially fired today.

    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...

    No more bikes

    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...

    No more bikes

    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!

    Target Together

    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...

    Target Together

    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...

    Target Together

    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...

    Service & Engagement New POS. Where is she now?

    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...

    Officially fired today.

    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...

    Guest Advocate doing Inventory?

    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 &...

    The entire inbound team walked out this morning.

    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?

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

    Test marketing - Krispy Kreme doughnuts

    Some Targets in our area have Krispy Kreme doughnut mini-kiosks placed close to the checkout lanes. A Krispy Kreme delivery driver comes early each morning, pulls whatever is left over from the previous day and puts out fresh doughnuts. These aren't cheap, a 6-pack is $12.99. Have you seen...

    Target is expanding: Here’s where new stores are expected Why? Are the thousands of existing stores sufficiently resourced to deliver the Target brand promise? Are stores being properly staffed, etc.?

    The entire inbound team walked out this morning.

    Reflecting on what you've mentioned, it seems like your SD and ETL-HR have the following policy:

    The entire inbound team walked out this morning.

    Revisiting this thread: ultimately, how many of the store's inbound TMs are still employed with Target? I realize that out of caution the OP is probably avoiding discussing this online as he/she has been "outed" and rebuked for publicizing this on social media.

    20 year service reward

    I think the service reward amounts were created in the 1980s and haven't been changed in a long time. Still, they are deeply appreciated.
