wages

[can't touch this]

I just keep it simple and negotiate a flat $50 an hour for all roles, including those that I would never actually catch myself doing like cashiering/guest service

Well since my original title was as a specialist and did pay more than the average employee, and I like most people in the RCV / RevLog position essentially do as much work as a TL except for actually having a team (since vendors don't count) and as far as metrics go mone have always been high green to the point that I had an ETL lie and claim I was tardy consistently, which is complete shit since I have never been late a day in my career at Target and can prove it with punch records and camera footage. And yes, I did contest it with corporate who said "This is a store issue" and sent it back to my STL who blew it off and kept stealing from the safe until he got caught. So, no... at my store pay is not merit based and all we're saying is if you're raising the minimum pay from $12 to $15 those that have been with the company for a long time should get an increase of $3 to account for their previous increases. Oh and if they don't actually give you a review you only get the minimum increase. I found this out after I got my first review in year 5... just sayin'

You are conflating people problems with the greater reality of the situation.

If none of that ever happened, if you were the best employee ever and your STL gave your flowers daily and Jesus himself flew down from the heavens to congratulate you on a job well done every day.

.......you would still be making 15 dollars per hour. Because that is the reality of merit-based pay in 99% of organizations in America. Probably 100% of retail.

Edit:

In case it wasn't clear I agree it's idiotic and stupid - but if you want it to change it isn't going to. So you have to be the one to change it for yourself...by getting a different job.

Retail corporations shun paying merit pay like the plague, then their leadership wonder why they have so many employees who do the bare minimum at work. Funny how everyone except corporate leadership can see the connection here…🙄
Of course corporate leadership think their own bonuses and stock options are perfectly fine ways of motivating those in the upper echelons like themselves…

I’d take a LVL 73 over a LVL 2 anyday.

Merit pay is ultimately subjective….. Just my 2 cents.
P.s. HQ collects data and uses AI. They already kno.

So i’ve worked at target for 11 yrs, next month will make it 12 yrs. I’m part of the inbound team we use to be the flow team. i work in receiving during the truck unload as a sorter. over the years ive worked really hard. i’ve had tremendous back pain with all the heavy lifting. my problem is how am i only making $15 which is minimum wage that’s the same amount a new team member would make just starting at target? How is that even fair ive invested over a decade of time into this company to only be making minimum wage. I can’t stress enough how this makes no sense can someone please give me some feedback.

Because Target does not give a shit about loyalty. They would rather force out the longer term TM to hire new, because the longer you’re there, the more they have to pay out in benefits. God forbid, you work your way too high up in the pay scale, doesn’t matter what you do, how you perform, your raises no longer reflect actual performance but become more about how they can bring everyone else on the team, including bottom performers, to a pay where there is not such a huge discrepancy between top/bottom earners. So they give you a measles 1-2%, and act like they are doing you a favor.

Some TM told me you make more money working on the A-2 key because of the shift differential. Then another TM told me that you make more on the B2 key because the 4 hours lost a week for a year comes out to be a differential of 208 hrs. Or like 5k-10k (ballpark). Can a experienced TM help out someone who has bills to pay? Plz and Ty. This year I need gross 70k I think

You've given 0 information to help figure this out. You need to know your base hourly plus differential x average hours worked.

So lets say your base is 25 an hour. On A2 you'd make 900 a week. (25 an hour x 36 hours a week = 900 a week). On B2 you'd make 1000 a week. (25 an hour x 40 hours a week = 1000 a week).

That's your base take home without differential or overtime. So you'd need to add the differentials to your base pay and multiply them by your scheduled hours for each shift.

Seriously?

Yeah seriously, welcome to the death of the middle class.

I to failed at life and work at Target. I almost have my rent paid (was arbitrarily due the 1st) ohhh lucky me, with the next three days off from Rockefeller Central I was grateful to score these free bananas from the break room—I will have some thing to eat!

Spot cut hours at D.C.'s.

Any other Dcs in mandatory flex down?

I thought that they were just going to be taking hours from us in rebin but the whole warehouse got flexed down last week (32hrs) and this week (30.5) on A1. Plus they are sending random people home after start up if there's not enough work. Just wondering what other Dcs are doing? Sorry I see...
