To that one Team Member I - ARCHIVED

[emayf]

To that one leadership team: I know you guys want guests to have parking at the front of the store but saying team members need to park in the very back of the parking lot where there's no streetlights is NOT okay. I don't feel comfortable walking out there to my car after closing and it bothers me that you care more about the guests then making sure team members feel safe. I for one do not feel safe parking where there is NO lighting and I find it suspicious you want team members to park where the parking lot security cameras don't reach.

During my training they said if you are closing you *really need* to park in an area with a camera. Sucks that everyone doesn't feel the same way.

TTOGSTM: For the love of god, don't pull bullshit reasons to deny a return out of your ass. Because 9 times out of 10 when you, yes you specifically, make up some bullshit reason, it comes back to bite us on the butt, as the person usually finds out that it was bull shit, then they come back in throwing a huge fucking fit, generally blaming security for your bullshit. Yes, some of the people that you give the run-around are shady as hell, but it's Target that's decided to roll over for these people, and its up to AP to deal with and investigate where they get their receipts, not you.

I'd call the local PD (non-emergency number) and ask for escort to my car every night til that stopped...bet it wouldn't take long either.

We had a TM who got his car broken into at Target the other day. Smashed the rear passenger window. It was on camera but it was too far enough to get a clear image of the suspects to arrest them.

It seems like my team members try to park as far out as they can. It makes no sense to me. Without getting into revealing information, my store is hit more than anyone else in the district due to the area next to us. They see the type of people we app and run off, why park so far out when you are a closer? I personally don't have a fetish of being raped or murdered, I guess they do.

TTOTM and TOTL: I am sick of your BS, not having equipment is not an excuse for not l pushing to both locations. You knew I pulled stuff for mini. TL, I told you in case BR left the pull with softlines. You knew. You never bothered to tell your TM's. Who did their usual BS push to home and badly then backstock it..

I called you on it when I found all the backstock, then saw how screwed up your TM pushed it and got my ETL involved and he was pissed. Not sorry the TM was in tears and the TL refuses now to talk to me..

Do your damn job! I am sick of doing it twice!

So went to Office Depot and they are using iPods with a different scanning sled with a card swipe attachment on it. I wonder if they have issues because it was running pretty spiffy watching her type around on it.

 

[MrGeppetto]

TTOTM: you helped me clear my block, thank you. but at-least pickup your backstock off the floor when you leave.

When we help flow push back stock on one side defective piled in the other side at front of each isle. They have some one who collects it. Now dayside push? You work off a vehicle and work clean and you take care of your own BS/defectives.

 

[Doglover89]

TTOTL: When I finished my zone before you and my co-worker, you were like GREAT JOB!! Like I'm a four year old. When the LOD told me to come help you, I glanced at the clearance area to see how it looked. So you go "doglover, you critiquing my zone?" No, I was actually just seeing what else needed to be done. Do you really think I'm checking up on you? Come on now.

 

[sher]

Ttotl: keep being condescending as if I don't know my damn job and I'm not gonna be able to not cuss you out any longer. My tl has started her annual questioning of what I'm doing with my time.

Ttotl, I'm not sorry I snapped today. If you want to know where I am, use your damn walkie!! Asking other people where I am isn't how this goes. You have a direct line to ME! I'm assuming you don't remember how to use the walkie? Because you went looking for me after I announced my break. If you have an issue you'd like to brink up with me, call me on the walkie and I'll come to you or direct you to my exact location. Because this is dumb and it's getting old.

[mrknownothing]

To that one ETL: You may be marginally less useless than most of your predecessors, but at least they had the decency to be respectful to the team and not look for trouble. Kindly go [REDACTED].

TToTM: If I was good at my job, I'd have actually kept you from slacking off and found something to do, but the store was $10k under the sales goal today and everything was done because of how slow it was, so I gotta say: our one minute duet of Bohemian Rhapsody was something I really needed, and gave me a much better feeling than being good at my job does.

We legitimately had a person do that over the walkies after no one responded so whatever it was he was asking for.

We had someone play the crickets sound from his phone over the walkie.

TTO(Closing)LOD :: Thank you so much for being aware of a policy implemented at our store before your arrival earlier this year && telling me in the past that you knew of its existence && agreed with it being in place, to only screw me over last night and not have my back when a guest complained about it. I really appreciate how you basically made it look as though I did something wrong && you would "make me do it for them because that's how it should be". Let me be clear - I don't generally let work things bother me, it's not worth it. But I could barely come in to my shift because I was almost unable to stand up without feeling faint, let alone drive. But I came in & even when I started feeling really awful I stuck it out because I felt bad leaving when we were already short handed. But after that incident and you giving me a full cart of YOUR re shop at 10 til close -- I know next time I won't stay. And I'm going to talk to the someone about you overriding policy, because the policy either exists or it doesn't. Im done being nice, if you want to take that as a chance to use me as a doormat.

TTo(new)TM

Oh my god I don't know if I should be proud I helped get you a job or mortified now you're working at Target

I gave advice to a FB friend (who lives far away so not even a Target at/near mine) who had an interview for Target this morning, so I told him everything I said at the interview. He followed my advice about mentioning community (and pointing out any sort of awards for that kinda thing), wanting to be part of a team, and showing knowledge about the red card/cartwheel. And this morning he posted that he got the job and everything I said worked.

Godspeed to you

Good job, you just blessed him with suck.

TTOETL: CHECK PEOPLE'S DAMN TIME OFF REQUESTS. STOP SCHEDULING PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER DONE THE SERVICE DESK FOR SERVICE DESK SHIFTS. IT MAKES PEOPLE WHO ARE TRAINED FOR THAT AREA REALLY FRUSTRATED. I mean I'm primarily a cashier but we have GSTMs that you're treating like garbage by giving them 12-13 hours a week. These are people that have worked here for upwards of 10 years and you're scheduling people who've never been there??? Also... are you the one who decided to bring in a third GSTL? (WHY? I can't stand this new person they've picked for GSTL... just make it stop). Just go away, please leave, etc etc etc

 

[Doglover89]

TTOTL: From the moment you interviewed me, I knew we prob wouldn't mesh, but I wound up not being good enough for your "team" anyway. Fast forward more than a year later and you depend on me to help run this "team." You always seem angry and you always have side comments to make. This upsets me; I work hard. I stress myself out constantly and do the absolute best I can do but it never seems to please you. I like my old work center better because its a more pleasant environment to be in.

Leadership: Let me go back to my original work center. Pretty, pretty please!

 

[3LetterDevil]

TTOETL: you see me AT LEAST 3 days a week, wearing the blue scrubs, and have spoken to me while I was BEHIND the pharmacy counter. Are you ever going to realize I WORK HERE and stop asking me, "CIHYFS?" when you see me on the floor?

 

[Infinim]

Maybe that's their way of hitting on you?!

 

[TallAPGuy]

I have asked team members if they needed help, if they look lost.
