Archived More hours cut

[thetargetman]

Try running a deli On 20 hours a week. 2 people a day sometimes and they expect it fresh an d full. Lol

I work in a Deli, and if we had only 2 people a day with only 20hours a week.... oh boy LOL. management would be totally delusional if they thought it was possible! people leave pissed if it takes too long!

We haven't gotten that bad, thankfully, but we have 1-2 people in the morning right now, a mid, and a closer. Part of it is because we have a new hire who's stopped showing up, the rest is just low hours. I don't know how we're going to survive the back to school rush.

Yesterday we were told that 100 hours need to be cut. Uhhh... nooo.... you need to give 100 hours to other team members because you accepted an additional truck. That's fair.

 

[smashandthrash]

Mine went up a bit. But. Backroom.

 

[MrBucket]

A ton of people in Electronics quit all around the same time so I was assuming I'd get more hours to pick up the slack. I get 3p-7p 4 days, 7:30-midnight 1 day, and a Hardlines girl who's never worked Electronics gets an 8am - 4pm shift on Tuesday...reason #1000 why everyone in Electronics quit.

 

[paokinawa]

So my store has been calling people and leaving a voicemail that "hey we don't need you for your shift tomorrow so you don't need to come in". They then look at kronos and the shift is gone. It's been my understanding that they can't do that right? If you have been scheduled they can't take that back, especially the day before. So if you want to still work you still can?

Guest services and SCO were told they had to leave on time, and could not clock out a minute late. So I guess if you’re replacement isn’t there on time or you’re in the middle of helping a guest you just walk away and clock out and go about your day.

This place is damn ridiculous.

It bounces back and forth from help the guests to fuck the guests all the time.

 

[Far from newbie]

Ask to be cross trained. Find shifts that are open from hr or anyone looking to give up a shift on the board. There's always hours to get, especially if you're cross trained in multiple areas. cashiering usually always comes up. Most the hours go straight to backroom and POG because they are 100% essential. Tell your STL you'd like to learn either of those.

Essential, huh. I thought both those teams were being Eliminated !

 

[Far from newbie]

A pricing TM complained to me that she is only getting 2 hour shifts to come in and do price change then leave. I usually get close to 40 each week and some dislike me for it. :/

Must be the difference between Essential and Non-Essential

Sorry, I clock in 5 minutes early and as much as I can sneak in on the backside of my shift. Goal is to grab at least an extra half an hour each week!

I also clock in 5 minutes early. I think most people in my store clock in a minute after though, ha.

 

[Anelmi]

I routinely get 10-15 extra minutes per shift this way because I usually close and no closers at my store leave on the dot. It’s just not possible.

 

[band_rules16]

I'm not even getting many hours in my actual workcenter anymore.

I guess that makes it easy if I I get this summer position I interviewed for yesterday...

 

[flow4areasonuno]

I'm getting one day a week this week, the next, and the next after that.

Taxes came in so bills are paid but jesus, Target, this is how you LOSE people!

We had an electronics member removed from electronics. Been there for years but now, nope. She has to do "flow" work like the rest of us. Now the ladies who are here during the day have to do all the work the first woman in question used to do all by her lonesome.

This is TOTALLY more efficient. /s

What with the cage (full of goodies like Switches, phones, repacks, etc to sort through) that must be locked at all times when not in use. If it's maddening for me to constantly get interrupted by guests I can only imagine it's 10x worse with a thing that has to be kept locked.

 

[Frontlanegirl]

But they don't always make that much more than a newbie due to the wage increases.

Exactly, because of the wage increases, I am making just .25 more than a newbie.

And come May, you'll be making the same as a newbie hired in May or later.

There goes my raise.

 

[flow4areasonuno]

We get our raise first. Then we get raised to the new minimum. Bunch of baloney

They make us put all our white repacks on a uboat, so you know anyone could walk up and steal something off of it when you’re helping a guest.

Yeah, that would never fly here. I can't imagine this lasting long at your store with modernization going on and you having to help more guests. It'll be like having no one at the fitting room.

We've been doing modernization in electronics for like a little over half a year. They just implemented the uboats a month ago for us.

According to the Mod paper work, Zone 9 repacks are to be worked from the cage, meaning you are supposed to drag that monstrosity back and forth on the Electronics sales floor.😆😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Doubly fun when the cage barely moves, is bent to hell and the dtl wont approve a new one.

I love my sft, but for some reason he keeps putting off fixing the cage...
