Call off or you’ll be a NCNS no call no show.
I’m sure they will understand the circumstances of your call offs.

 

[Llamanatee]

If I was told to gtfo, I would. I ain’t dying or being stranded because of Target.

Just make sure you call and tell them you won’t be there.

Target's not worth your safety or your life. Call to CYA, but if you're in Florence's path, evacuate.

 

[Coffee Alchemist]

I called out. They did ask when I'm going to be back/where I'm going, do you think that doesn't count against my record? Obviously safety > perfect attendance, but I'm curious anyways.

And they expect you to know when the hurricane would be done and when the MANDATORY evacuation would be over????

Sometimes Spot's quest for that next dollar defies both logic and respect for human life.

I called out. They did ask when I'm going to be back.....

Uh, well after Florence has vacated the premises, thankyouverymuch.

 

[NKG]

Your safety is not worth your job. I'd call out explain that you decided to leave and that you will be back when the storm is over. Keep in communication with your store and report back when you say you are. If your leadership gives you any grief, then look into any laws you might have in your state about state of emergency laws basically if your told to evacuate and stay; you're breaking the law.

Target has not determined when they will close

Target wants That almighty dollar !!

lol lol lol ... WTF WTF WTF

 

[OneArmedJesus]

To be fair theyll probably close soon

 

[redeye58]

They'll close only because - at some point - people won't be out to shop.

 

[Llamanatee]

They'll close only because - at some point - people won't be out to shop.

And sadly that will be the only reason they close.

 

[IWishIKnew]

I'm guessing they'll close when they run out of supplies for the people riding it out.

 

[Switch23]

Hey guys how is progress on the unio....

Good now that I got spots attention: close the stores it's not worth the sales for team members lives thanks.

 

[countingsheep]

There has to be a legal way to smack spot upside the head for this crap. This company gets more and more disgusting every year when it comes to workers and basic business sense

 

[buliSBI]

I am thinking Corp is waiting to see exactly how the storm will track and operate till very last minute. Current predictions say it will hit in between Wilmington to Myrtle Beach and either go up to Raleigh or do a swing south into SC and back into western NC.

As of today, these are the official closed stores communicated by Corp.
North Carolina

• Jacksonville - 1395D Western Blvd., Jacksonville, N.C.
• New Bern - 3410 Dr Martin Luther King Jr Blvd., New Bern, N.C.
• Rocky Mount - 731 Sutters Creek Blvd, Rocky Mount, N.C. (Closing 6 p.m. on 9/12)
• Wilmington - 4711 New Centre Dr., Wilmington, N.C.

South Carolina

• Myrtle Beach - 1150 Seaboard St., Myrtle Beach, S.C.
• Myrtle Beach South - 140 Sayebrook Pkwy, Myrtle Beach, S.C.

That list is still missing quite a few Targets in mandatory evac zones. SiiiiiiGHHH.

 

[wiredharpoon]

At least in our state there is a statute that states something along the lines of.... people assisting with providing essentials are exempt from it. Last year our GVP emailed letters out for us to have authorizing us to return to the store before they lifted curfews. Obviously if you live near an area thats going to get hammered gtfo. If you can ride the storm (far enough inland) and have everything prepped I don't see an issue personally. Mandatory evac areas sound like a gtfo situation though...

 

[BullseyeBlues]

Mandatory evacuation means nobody’s gonna come save you cause you were told to get out. Even emergency services may not be able to get into some of those areas until the storm subsides a bit. Target isn’t worth someone’s life, and, honestly, if Target retaliates, drop Target like a hot potato. Pretty sure anywhere you would interview would understand you leaving an employer that was trying to get you to come into a mandatory evacuation zone while you were living in a mandatory evacuation zone once the order to get out had been given. You gave them notice so it’s not like it’s a NCNS.

@ShowNoEmoticon hope you're safe. Praying.
