Archived Wage increase increments?

[DdubV]

So, I’m just curious as leadership at my store doesn’t honestly know, but I thought Target set the minimum wage to $12/hr back in spring of this year. My store still pays the $11/hr minimum and the cost of living in my area (New England) is very high. Anyone know when the changes to wages will take effect? I’d imagine at least $.50 every 6/8 months to reach $15/hr by the end of 2020. Not complaining, but just wondering out of curiosity since it’d be a little helpful with the plentiful hours they keep giving us at my store haha.

We were bumped up in June.

New hires after May will move to $12 this fall.

A new hire at my store was told $11, but was surprised to see $12 on her check

Yet still zilch in increased pay for tenured team members. The gap between TL and new TM gets smaller and smaller. Almost not worth the added accountability.

I don't know why ya'll worry about it so... it doesn't help a damn bit.

Just smile and wave, people... smile and wave!!!

The gap is actually the same and will stay the same throughout the transition. The only thing that’s not changing is tenured TLs Pay but if you ask me I’m pretty sure this is Target’s way of pushing out the tenured people who probably wouldn’t be hired on in today’s market. We have a few TLs in my store they have been here forever that certainly would not make the cut nowadays

they have been here forever

But - aren't they still working? They made the "cut?"

Yes but if you were to fire every TL in the building and hold interviews with all the same TLs there would be a few that would not make the cut. They should have been performanced out by now but that’s another story.

It is not the same. If everyone were getting a $1 increase you'd be correct.

No the gap is $4 dollars and will go up together until TMs are 15 and TLs are 19

You are speaking of only starting pay. I specifically said tenured people, for which there is no increases.

You must have missed an entire post. Go ahead and re read before posting

The one where you acknowledge no change for tenured people, then contradict yourself later to say that gap wouldn't be decreasing?

Any word on when the next increment would be? Currently at $12 here. I wonder if sometime this fall we'll go to $12.50 or $13. I guess it's all speculation at this point tho....
