in the fight for a higher wage, i dont disagree with. BUT many of those at my store and town in general want to be paid WAY more than what their work is worth. i tried to explain with the tariffs, logistics overspend, etc. we have to deal with that wanting more pay would just hasten us getting less. also i was told by my STL and TL that they wanted "open avail" or else maybe you dont work here. how can they want open avail on a 8 hour/week schedule? i had a meltdown last night before i went to sleep. i remember picking up hours at other departments to make up the difference in my checks. now its nothing. i think the side jobs/hussle i can find won't cut it anymore. now the weather is getting better, i dont think im gonna put all my energy into work anymore. i use to come to work and ask questions, ensure we were on time for work flow, etc.-while only being a proud TM- but at this point...fuck it. im job hunting again. ill show up for work and give it my all but im not going above and beyond anymore and the moment i can switch to even a lower paying job with more hours-im doing it. my reference is more towards the entitled attitude i see when people talk about a 15/hour wage-while not taking into account how businesses and economy react to this.
Plenty of fast food places hiring. (I don't miss that hell, but I did get a constant 40 doing it years ago.)
okay then you do it and all the other corporate lackies let us poor down trodden knuckle draggers see you do it
Where will all these new people come from? Do you think $15 an hour is only going to attract the type of dedicated, hardworking, sales driven individuals Spot only wants working in their stores? The quality of the the job seeking candidate pool will remain the same as it is now. The new hiring guidelines (check out the "Hire the Best of the Best" section in the April Addendum) will further limit the Target-approved candidate able to be hired. And, once these candidates are hired, how many are going to realize they were sold false promises on duties and hours, and say "This is bullshit!" and take a hike? Performancing Out poor TMs will still take too long and stores will still be directed to keep turnover low. When positions are available, there will be pressure to fill them rapidly, so we will be more selective by hiring the warmer body and hope it works out. The caliber of TMs hired in the future will not be so different than the current TMs.
We just hired a person that moves slower than a sloth for “food and beverage expert”. Um come in HR didn’t you see him walking into the interview with NO pep to his step. Why did they hire this sloth ??? Just makes others work slower cause we are all making the same wage.
I always gauge how a potential new team member walks when going into an interview. If they can't keep up i keep it short.
probably hire new hires at 13/hr ,,,, while those still working getting 12/hr for 3 to 4 weeks till we all get that bump to 13/hr.
Can't bring in a new hire at 13 if rest of team is at 12. 13 happens in June.
. There goes any benefit of a raise.
