scheduling

Hey y'all. I just started working at Target in May, and I noticed my hours have been cut SEVERELY since. I just came back from COVID leave last week and saw that in the next two weeks, I am only scheduled 20 hours TOTAL. Obviously this isn't doable as I, like most people, have bills to pay. I...

Does anyone know how the system auto-generates the schedules? I know sometimes when one of the ETL's doesn't manually create the schedule in time or whatever the system will auto-generate it based on the position & availability. Does anyone have any more info on this like how the system does...

Hey, I'm a new GM team member (on my second week) and I'm finally on the regular paper schedule which is posted every week. My 2 weeks of training have consistently been 30 hours per week, but when I looked on the board this afternoon, I only have 5 hours next week. What gives? My coworkers...

I just got hired to target and another retail job at about the same time. I am trying to get the scheduling all sorted. The second job won’t give me a fixed schedule and i have to keep open availability because that’s what i put on my application. They post their schedule three weeks out and...

I had an odd conversation with my GSTL in which she encouraged me to talk to the ETL-GE to get more hours on Thanksgiving since you get paid time and a half. However, she said not to tell the ETL that she "pushed" me to have the conversation with him as it would look like favoritism. As of now...

Every single link I've found online no longer works for me. I've been using Target Auth Services - http://wss.target.com/selfservice for months now and it's just completely stopped working. I'm just returning from my college break so I've been trying to view the schedule online rather than make...

I've recently been hired. I had Orientation and I was told someone would call me me the next day about my schedule. I anxiously waited, but received no calls at all. All I have is the name of one employee to go by and that's it. I'm thinking about calling the next day, but I don't have any...

I really fkn hate closing and then having to open the next morning. It’s like they don’t care if I don’t get sleep, they’re taking advantage of all the labor I put in. I be so sleepy and disoriented I can’t even do that great of a job for the day. And they have the nerve to ask why you don’t so...

I initially started alluding to this situation in another post but figured it best to start a new thread for it instead of derailing the other post... I've been a Hardlines TM at my current store since May of last year (was previously a cashier for ~2 years at a different store in the area)...

Just got off huddle and they announced we would be using this app to check schedules, swap shifts and more. Sounds awesome and looks like target is finally getting more modern.

I’m really comfused. I’ve been with Target for seven years but a few months ago I got a different full time job and adjusted my availability so I have been working less hours. Last month I was working thirty hours a week, but this week and next week I only work eight hours which I’m fine with I...

I figured we needed a thread for schedule writers. Good tips and tricks for writing a good schedule. General tips 1) know your states meal and break schedules. For example if you're in a 5 hour state it's more efficient go schedule someone 4 hours and 45 minutes then exactly 5 hours and them...

I put down Sundays as unavailable on my application, I've never changed it, and so far I haven't had any trouble, but for some reason they scheduled me tomorrow (the 19th). Will I have any issue calling out tomorrow or talking to the hiring manager about it?

Hey guys help me understand something. I agreed to take the store brand position for shoes and everyone from STL on down is thrilled because no one wanted to do shoes and it is a mess. This week I was scheduled all week in shoes to begin getting it back in shape except I just viewed my two week...

Ok so I KNOW only ETL's SRTL's typically create a schedule for their given workcenters. I just wanted to know if it was even possible for a tm (me) who wanted to get redeveloped into a TL to be given the task of creating a schedule suitable to their given workcenter. Since I converse with...

Let me start off by saying hello. I've been with Target for almost 3 years now. I'm currently a flow team member and I've always enjoyed the fast pace and the friendly team but our team lead seems to have had better days. Their attitude changed around the same time last year leading up to the...

Hi all! So I'm a new TM (been here for a month and a half) and I'm having a little bit of a scheduling issue. I told my LOD/ETL who is charge of scheduling that I can't work Friday and Saturday closing shifts, as I have a sick family member who can't be left alone and my parents work at night...

I'm just curious as to all the components that goes into creating a schedule. And I ve read a couple of threads on here as some TL's creating schedules?? I thought only ETL's had that privilege.. But ok.. Please share your insights everyone.

Some background: I'm a month into my job as a Cashier - the first two weeks I was on the learning plan and only worked 4 hours shifts, with a total of 16 hrs per week. Then, for the past two weeks I've worked 40 hour weeks - with usually 8 hour shifts. When I was hired I checked part time, and...

Hey, so I had a question about scheduling. I worked out a schedule with HR, so that I was closing Tuesday and Thursday, and then opening on the weekends; with availability on Wednesday's and Friday's. So I need to make up some hours, so I was going to go ahead and just pick up two shifts this...
