Archived Why don't we get a Yearly Bonus?

Medical care, silly stuff like that. Given the time of year I'm thinking Cratchet and Scrooge. And Marley's ghost chained to reshop, buggies and buggies of reshop.

Because Target is cheap as fuck. Best Buy gives thier employees bonuses depending on how much the store sells

If Target had done that, they would've taken back $$ from us for Canada, the credit hack & their other bad ideas (cough *The Shops* cough).

Home depot gives out something like a bonus every 6 months. Profits and points accumulated within that 6 months is shared throughout the store. If meet the weekly goal for HD card, HQ gives a certain amount of money. Even more if you're in the top 3. Lessen the shrinkage, more money. All of those gets shared to the entire store based on how the store executives have seen you perform. But they have told me it's equal mostly among the employees. One time, all of them took $500 each home. I forgot what they called these meetings but during this meeting, there's food and games and lots of fun. And every December, they have xmas parties. They close the store early and go to hotels and party with games and prizes.

Hey... Those "Shops" made awesome final clearance gifts 😉

Target used to give bonuses to everyone, including TMs. Having only been there for 14 years, I never received one. I was too new. But another TM who recently celebrated her 27 year anniversary with the store informed me that back when she first started there, Target did give out Christmas bonuses & not just to executives! It seems only the salaried have the advantage of bonuses nowadays.

I think I read on here that raises are better if your store is Golden the previous year. Is this true?

Not necessarily, my store has been golden since before i started. Still have not gotten more than $0.20 raise in my 3 years.

 

[BlueSide]

Raises are the same across the board. Each grade (effective, excellent etc.) awards a set percentage of your pay as an increase.

Nope.
Our store was Golden a couple years back & raises were still crappy.

 

[Amaazingdude]

I wouldn't be surprised if they did away with yearly raises for team members. For example only give raises to ETLs and Team Leads

 

[Kartman]

No, that will never happen.

Because you get PB & J in the Break Room during 4th quarter.

My store didn't even have it this recent quarter... We had it for like a few days but my etl hr didnt continue buying bread. I was legitimately peeved, I like pbj and I saved a lot of money the previous two holiday seasons eating it everyday, heh.

Aw we're just part time/hourlies. We wouldn't appreciate a bonus and just waste it on our tawdry interests.

Absolutely!

Corporate knows we would just throw it away paying for crazy things - like rent and electricity and maybe even decent food if we had anything left over. They care about us too much to let us make that mistake.
