Best practice went out the door a long time ago. However you still get yelled at because you're not following best practice to get the metrics since BP is based off of actually having correct staffing and beautiful zones. IS is the reason I left target. Each ETL has their own thoughts as to how...

I would just like cartwheel to work offline. That is all. I hate having to connect to the crappy Wi-Fi in the store.

If there was nothing else going on in the backroom it would be awesome.

Last day ended at midnight and I'm now officially a guest! After pulling FAs all night let me tell you, I'm glad I'm done.

For the Paid Vacation payout, does it come on a separate check and is it taxed?

I've really felt different the last few days. I can honestly say it's freeing to know that the hell I've dealt with the last few months is almost over. I feel bad to leave the team behind, but I know more now than ever that this is what I need to do. I feel almost human again. Lol I'll be...

I was so excited at that time too. It felt like I was becoming a part of an elite club, little did I know it was the beginning of the end my target career. Maybe if I never promoted I would've stayed longer but probably not by much.

Well, it looks like I'll be leaving Target soon. I feel bad about the timing, but at the same time I really don't care. I've given a lot of years to this place and whether or not I'm here during the holidays really doesn't make much of a difference. Although being a TL it kinda puts my boss in a...

So I'm not a complete failure? Yay! It's tough to feel like I'm successful when the company is run the way it is now. I feel more pressure to do everything right and I feel like I spend most of my days reacting to things I "should've" seen coming. I guess I just have to keep rolling with the...

I have been a TL for a few years now and I honestly feel like I've barely started learning everything I need to be successful in my position. Quite honestly I'm failing miserably at my job. My peers try to lift my spirits that it's not me, it's the company but I'm pretty sure it's just me. I...

It's reshop at our store and we roll our eyes at each ETL that says it differently, especially since it is listed as reshop in all target handbooks. Never understood how the other terms came up. I've also heard operators get titled receptionists at other stores. Seems like a mouthful to me.

I'm in the "I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't mentality" most of the time when I work so I just try to be as honest with my team as I can be. Obviously there's things you can't share but if it's not on the "confidential" list of things I tell them the truth. They'll know you're lying if...

4x4s & power hour are still alive at my store too, luckily I don't have to deal with it since I'm BR. =) As for the 4x4s I'm positive that it's never 100% complete because I still see label strips missing and stocking issues everywhere.

I'm so jealous of you. I'm waiting to hear back from a job that's going to get me out of this place. Best of luck in your new adventures!

Ours used to be payroll now it's attendance and people quitting left and right. Yet they somehow expect us to get everything done and more.
