    Archived Target trying to wear me out to make me quit?

    hello all, this is my first new thread post though I've been lurking. So, I was hired as a cart attendant last year for seasonal and they kept me on. After 4 months they started training me at guest service to just get me over there while I'm doing carts, but ends up putting me behind on my cart...

    Archived Fill me in!

    I have been on an LOA for 3 months and I'm about to start back up at a new store. I haven't kept myself up to date about a Target things at all. How does RFID work? As an electronics tm, how does it affect me? Going into the holiday season, what items are standing out to be popular that I...

    Archived Battery Shippers

    So, there are 2 endcaps with battery shippers this week. I need 6 and I have 2. This got me thinking there must be a better way of storing these things without back stocking. If you back stock them, the caf will try and pull them for regular sets. So we put them non located in a high shelf in...

    Archived Video Game Reset

    Thanks to the corporate Nincompoop that thought this was a good idea. New PS Gaming reservation card endcap. I used 3" pegs because the ones in the box were worse. Spacing is way too tight. Course there needs to be a foot of space at the bottom for no reason. I've set several end caps in...

    Archived Can the ETL really do this?

    I just want to first put it out there, this thread will be biased, as it will all from my point of view. I also want to know where it went wrong. Now, I've been working in this store for one and a half year so I'm rather familiar with how things go. The one thing about our store is that it is...

    Archived How many electronics shifts do you have to have before you become a full electronics TM?

    So ever since one of the electronics TMs changed her availability I've been getting a huge increase in opening electronics shifts. I've been seeing more of them every week and at this point I get up to three of them each week. Seriously my schedule for next week is 50% opening electronics. I'm...

    Archived Is it possible to cross-train in HR?

    I am getting tired of Electronics, there isn't an opening in AP and i can't do 40 hours. They won't give me a GSA position either even being told many times they would start working me there. Is it possible to cross-train in HR?

    Archived So pissed off...

    Alright, so here's the deal. I worked as mobile from August -> week before black friday. Joined Electronics on 1/31. I have only called out once that whole time - and when i called out, i was sick and coughed and the ETL asked me why I'm laughing and hung up on me, never spoke to me for two...

    Archived Need help in Electronics

    Fairly recently my hours have been steadily getting cut back (my new schedule I literally have 4 hours!). I have been asking for any hours the store can spare & was happy when the store HR offered me two closing shifts. I took them without hesitation assuming they would be sales floor hours. I...

    Archived Electronics transition 2016

    So the end of May my store has an electronics transition coming up. Fairly large moves (cameras move to opposite side of department for one). The TV Wall will have Curved TVs too. There's a few other changes, but they allude my memory right now. Our electronics department is a sea of clearance...

    Archived Cell phones with funny notifications

    Anyone else ever had a funny notification or reminder pop up on the actual real cell phones back in electronics/target mobile that guests set up? I was covering a lunch the other day and heard beeping and when I finally realized it was one of those phones I was reminded of a "colonoscopy"...

    Archived Nobody listens

    I've said numerous times I do not want to be in electronics and now I'm on the schedule to train in electronics and work in electronics a few days on the new schedule. Why doesn't anyone at target listen? Not to mention I finally thought they would go by my availability but here I am again on...

    I just wanted to know what the pros and cons of each are, and which one you guys feel is the better job to have?

    Archived What's that about? Weird scheduling.

    One of my ETLs asked if I'd like to work a couple electronics shifts, Tuesday and Wednesday. I checked my scheduled online and I'm keyed in both days as a cashier. What gives? Is that to save hardlines hours by taking some from front lanes? Or do they not need me in elec anymore and are just...

    Archived Moving from Cashier to Electronics

    I've been at Target for a few months now and have been a cashier for that whole time. Recently my STL asked if I'd like to move over to electronics and I agreed. What exactly is it I'm to expect, I've worked with them reshopping when they needed the extra help but have never really worked the...

    Archived In electronics for black friday?

    I'm a cashier and that's all I'm trained on, I looked at my schedule online for next week and it says I'll be in electronics on Thanksgiving when we open. Do they move cashiers to electronics on that day because it's crazy or is that not right? I know they're tweaking the schedule right now and...

    Archived Opening Electronics on Thanksgiving

    Last year for Thanksgiving I worked as a "guest director" near PFresh showing guests where to go to find stuff. I was nowhere near Electronics so I don't precisely know what it was like over there. This year I'm opening Electronics on Thanksgiving. I've worked in Electronics many times before...

    Archived New to Target/Electronics

    Hello, everyone! I was just hired on as a regular Electronics Associate and my orientation is tomorrow. I just had a few questions. First, what should I expect at orientation aside from watching videos and filling out tax forms? Should I dress in Target attire or should I just go in with a...
