COVID-19 Any employees test positive for COVID-19?

[Hardlinesmaster]

Targetworkersunite can’t do anything about convid19. Spot does have the option, to close the store.

 

[SigningLady]

Just because there are two cases within a week at one store does not mean they are connected. More information would be needed to determine that.

We’ve had six at my store, which concerns me because I’ve worked with two of the six cases that came positive, although leaders and HR are not being completely truthful in telling us we’ve been exposed to them....as I’ve gone back and talked to those tm because I work in multiple departments on a constant basis when my tl or etl needs me elsewhere. I’m watching for symptoms but I don’t think HR is being thorough enough in figuring out who’s been exposed or not. Am I wrong in thinking that HR isn’t doing their job right and putting us at risk of getting COVID?

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Talk to your tl or etl on your concerns.

 

[Yetive]

HR cannot tell you much because of privacy laws. Push for better contact tracing in your state.

Another case (I've stopped counting now) and 60 people are now on leave. Store is surviving on TMs from other stores.

wow that is insane! Did they close for deep cleaning at all?

 

[BurgerBob]

I find that deep cleaning is just a myth that is a placibo.

More like what cleaning. We have the person who wipes down carts when the one ETL isn't pulling them to back up cashier.

 

[Noiinteam]

I am very thankful my leadership actually gives a shit. I constantly see our lockers, screens, equipment whatever being wiped down.

Check your temperature every day and monitor your symptoms. Even if you have only 1 symptom and you think it's not a big deal, get a test. Many places give them for free.

Another positive case reported on Monday...

 

[Bufferine]

The person that I directly work with has been out over a month. She received the two weeks pay and unemployment. Now she is coming back. She told me yesterday that she did NOT test positive and target didn’t ask for proof. Why wouldn’t they ask for proof before paying? So she lied.

The Kearney store has undergone a deep cleaning and sanitizing process.
Ha haha

 

[workinghard]

Aren't there supposed to be tm's wiping down the shopping carts ? I want shopping the other day, and didn't see anyone doing that.

 

[DBZ]

Yes. I've been yelled at for not having someone stand by the carts. I'm not even the SETL . I'm not even on the bench. Smh. We have to have someone standing by the carts from 9 AM till close. The can't even go to the bathroom without someone covering them. I don't see this at other stores though.

 

[qmosqueen]

Wow they actually closed

The store was closed on Monday at the request of the city’s health inspector.

I had to get a test today in order to return to college, it was definitely unpleasant. About on par with a flu or strep test probably.

Even Hawaii is not safe.

I think my store is at some level of herd immunity by now. The virus circulated in my store in March and April (right after I went on a leave) and no one has gotten sick since then.

 

[dannyy315]

I spoke too soon, there’s a new positive case in my store. They said they were last in the store on Friday, but they can’t tell what time they were working. Contact tracing is going well in New York I see!

At the same time, I just got test results from last Tuesday saying I’m negative. So that’s a good sign. Just going to continue obsessively wiping everything down and using mountains of hand sanitizer.

 

[happygoth]

Yikes, stay safe danny.

 

[qmosqueen]

This is very scary
