True but laws are only effective if they're enforced. People are saying there is no enforcement

I'm just a team member but in my experience the reason to skip break or lunch is intense pressure to finish job tasks. Whether that pressure comes from management or from self differs from person to person

9:30 is very late to open. 8:00 a.m. was fine, let's go back to that

I've seen a couple fistfights between TMs in my time. It does happen. Not often.

TL/DR: TM on thin ice already blew up at an untrained TM with mental disabilities who was doing a bad job. TM got fired.

Well that's unfortunate. Congrats on escaping, though, and good luck on finding something soon that's much better for your mental health (and better pay would be nice too).

WHEN A SALVAGE BOX IS FULL, CLOSE IT, TAPE IT, GET A NEW BOX

Honestly you're probably not going to get in. Hours are very restricted right now (early spring) for most Team Members, so they're hiring less and trying to give established TMs what hours they can. Keep your availability as open as possible, and maybe they can squeeze you in somewhere, if they...

Video is restricted on Target's guest wifi 😅

Bc it's in their backyard. They're involved whether they like it or not. Silence is a statement. Specifically the Target store where those kids were snatched up by ICE while working and dropped off elsewhere is close enough to corporate that they probably get corporate people shopping in the...

Fiddelke sent an email this morning to all employees, addressing the situation and calling for de-escalation. Mostly a nothing burger but slightly hinting that he doesn't like the way things are being handled. He needs to take a stronger position against the tactics that are being employed

Even so, good luck being able to tell if the breakfast I buy EVERY DAY (plus a clearance bakery item if it looks good) has an item I'm buying for a friend (maybe my friend likes blueberry muffins) and not for myself. No way to know from the outside.

I noticed this too. I thought "owned brands" were more profitable than name brands. Maybe I'm wrong. I assume the actual profits must show the opposite once sales volume and product loss (out-of-dates and clearance/salvage) is taken into account.

Unfortunate fallout, but not Target's fault at all. Hopefully they'll get an update to the software to round up/down when there would be a penny involved. I actually support ending the penny. Good move but should've been announced way, way ahead of time to give companies time to adjust policies...

Spitting in someone's food/drink is serious and some kind of crime, I bet. She probably could press charges. Obvious lack of respect goes both ways and I wouldn't be surprised to see your leader transferred to another store, idk if they can gain the respect of the team back unless a lot of...
