    Be safe out there!

    wowza. This winter so far has been something else! And we all know by now, distribution doesnt shut down operations for weather. Call ins out of control, managers giving some TM a pass, yet others are taking hits for not reporting. And those that do brave the elements to show up? No...

    How long does it take targets to close due to severe weather?

    let’s say hypothetically there was a major hurricane coming directly my way right now and i’m planning on evacuating. When will they make a decision to close? Will they close? and how will they let me know they closed? This is my first time experiencing something like this while working at target.

    Call Outs due to weather

    Hi! So it’s been snowing for the passed two days and it’s been pretty heavy. I know a lot of team members call out because of this. Can Target fire Team Members for not showing up due to weather conditions? Even if they call in advance.

    Store closure... do they call you?

    So like the rest of Texas, it is a white apocalypse out there. Last night a team member calls me. They’re making a list of who is/isn’t coming to work. I say yes for several reasons. I work Cash office (it’s hard to cover, only 3 of us in the store know how to do it) I live 3 miles away...

    New Severe Weather Procedures?

    Have severe weather procedures, and sheltering criteria, changed at the store level recently? We haven't had any severe weather training at the store this season, and I have heard that there may have been changes. For example, we used to monitor the weather radio and phone weather apps, and if...

    Archived Calling in because of weather...

    I've never had to do this previously, but they're forecasting a foot of snow for this weekend. I'm supposed to be attending an event that's out of town Saturday, but scheduled to work Sunday. I thought I'd make it back, but now I'm having serious doubts. (Heck, if I was in town, I wouldn't want...

    Archived Wishes to Target people in the Midwest

    I just want to say a quick hello and a shout out to those who are in the Midwest. I've heard that despite, what I consider, INSANELY dangerous temperatures, and I'm from the North, that Target stores remained open. I wish you safety in your travels. Your and your family's safety come above...

    Archived It's cold outside...so let's leave to work earlier...or not?

    TL's showing up to work so we're late and we have zero ice salt on the pavement as we walk to the door. (wasn't an issue last year but new TL's and all this year) It's sad but it seems to be the norm now. Anyone else? I literally could not walk to the front door a couple days ago without taking...

    Archived Snow help!

    So I made it to work today with 10 plus inches of snow in my tiny little car. Worked 8 hours, was one of about 10 employees who showed up (ETLs, TMs, LODs). We had 30+ call outs by the time I left. I was the only seasonal employee there. They were super appreciative and saying I could leave...

    Archived When do stores close for weather?

    I know there’s a number to call to see if my store is closed, I’m not worried about that, I’m just wondering what usually constitutes a closing? My store has a blizzard warning with 18 inches of snow expected and national Weather Service is advising absolutely no travel yet we’re open? Just...

    Archived Store closed due to flooding.

    SOOOOOO Harvey wrecked shop in Houston this past weekend and left many stores closed for a few days, some for repairs. Does anyone know if we get paid for the days that the stores had to close if we were scheduled to work?
