Archived Call out this Christmas Eve.

[redcharmander10]

Contemplating whether or not to call out so you can spend time with your family tonight for Christmas Eve? Then do it. Family is not forever, as I learned the hard way. Even a year later I am still angry with myself for not having the balls to call out last Christmas Eve. And I missed out on the last Christmas with an important family member.

Target is definitely not forever, hopefully you will move on from it and finding better like I did. Rebel against their corporate greed and spend Christmas with your family as it isn’t meant to be spent. If enough people call out maybe corporate will learn.

So call out today. Don’t hesitate. Don’t be filled with anger and regret like me. Merry Christmas.

So you’re basically telling people to possibly risk losing their jobs? Also, Christmas Eve is a very busy day and calling out only makes the workload harder on the TM’s that actually showed up for work. We all know what we signed up for. It’s retail.

Sorry for your loss.

I will say, though... why didn't you just ask for the day off? Callouts just stress out everyone.

The likelihood of that happening is basically zero. Besides we were over staffed that day if anything.

“It’s retail”

So what? Corporate greed needs to be put under control. Target is not an essential public service.

Not everyone celebrates Christmas / Christmas Eve.

Yeah Retail. Meaning peak shopping days are Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Christmas Eve. There’s no way you weren’t informed of that when you were hired. Not sure why people expect those days off especially when you work at Target. Common sense

I know of at least 3 people at my store who weren't scheduled.

 

[Times Up]

Also keep in mind that Spot didn't always stay open until 10 pm on XMas Eve or open @ 5 pm on Thanksgiving! Heck, being open on TGiving at all is a relatively recent development. So what was the norm when people started at Spot is not the norm now.

I'm off. Requested it in August. On my way to 'Grandmother's house' right now. I do clopening for NY's Eve and Day. If I can have today, I'm good with that!

First come first serve. You need to request off in advance

They didn't ask off. Just not scheduled. One pricing team member and 2 pog team members.

I seem to remember Target stayed open until 6 or something like that on major holidays.

They asked us our availability for today back in September. Still scheduled me outside it for Christmas eve. I luckily got it picked up, but not everyone was as lucky.

Walmart still closes at 7:30

The Walmarts around here are closing at 6. Target’s starting to look worse than Walmart everyday, and I never thought that was possible.

Yeah, you know it's bad at Target when they have me missing Walmart.

 

[Ringwraith917]

OP is encouraging TMs who are on the fence about it to go ahead and do it. Not that everyone should as a protest.

Family, Duty, Honor.

Is it April yet?

Yeah but that pricing TM will be there the asscrack of dawn on boxing day or even Xmas day marking clearance. POG will probably be pricing for the next couple days to get it all marked and moved so they can clear Xmas and set the next one.. I just happened to score Xmas eve off as my normal day off.

People want to bitch they didn't get the day off, you know what don't fucking expect it off. Or request it back in August so you have a chance at it.

You are an ass, be responsible and you wont have to make a choice between family and your livelihood.

You know there are 24 hours in a day, right? Organize your life better.
