Screw Target. Whether you're planning on working there long term or not, at first they (management) may be pissy that you can't work or call off or whatever but they'll get over it and forget all about it eventually. If by chance they do write you up or fire you, so what, there are plenty of...

I completely relate to pretty much everything I've ever seen you post, @Jackswastedlife99 . Target made me hate all people, hate my life, suffer severe depression and anxiety, etc. I know it's easier said than done, but you must remember that it's just not worth it. There were many days that...

I heard some other team members complaining about this issue and tried it for myself, I couldn't get it to work either. I don't know if they've asked anyone in HR about it. Seems dumb that the box is even there if you can't adjust it. They have to realize that just because someone is...

It's worth a shot. It sounds like you miss it, but as others have mentioned, things have changed and not for the better. As long as you are not going to be solely relying on it, might as well see how it goes. I'm going to make a prediction that if you do return, at first it won't seem so bad...

It depends on the store. Flow team members at my store have been told no drinks allowed. I guess they don't want them to loose those precious few seconds it would take someone to stop and take a sip instead of pushing the line. I think it is simply inhumane to deny people from drinking as...

No extension in RL amount of hours, (although it may vary by store.) So of course, true to Target's ways, just dump more work on other people and likely without proper training so now one more area of the store can get all mucked up and they'll wonder why.

Screw Target. I wouldn't necessarily just stop showing up but I also wouldn't be concerned whether it is a full 2 weeks or not. Trust me, most stores would do little to accommodate the team members needs, so do what you have to do.

Are you over or near 50? That seems to be a trend with Target in the past few years, try to get rid of the people they perceive as "old". I've known of too many "older" team leads and team members who seem to have been fired or forced out in recent years in favor of young people, too many to...

Yeah, sounds like they just found a stupid reason to get you gone. If your the ETL and STL fought for you then who fired you? How long were you with the company? Maybe they just needed to dump some payroll and bring in someone newer and cheaper?

I heard something about this, but thought it was going to be 8-2?? As far as I know they are not changing our receiving persons schedule but it will likely depend on how many vendors hear about this and start showing up earlier or later than usual. I'm sure if they get enough complaints from...

How amusing, I was completely expecting this response/assumption from you. No, actually I work Flow. I have helped pricing before, it's really not as easy as you think. My point is why be that resentful of other people, if they seemingly "have it made", well good for them. If you don't like...

Wow, "usojelly" I think YOU Are So Jelly! JEALOUS of your price change team that is. You sound like a real B-ch. Nobody at my store seems to be that resentful to the price change team. Plano is M-F mornings too most of the time. Haven't heard of this at my store yet but it seems obvious...

Speaking up often leads to being retaliated against. Most Target leadership doesn't seem to appreciate constructive criticism or small concerns that are perceived as whining. Some TLs and ETL are approachable, some are not.

Not all store have Target mobile.

Has anything ever come down from corporate, or even suggested at the store level, to get rid of veteran team members? With all of the recent cuts I know a few long time team members who are afraid they are walking on eggshells just because they make at least $2 more an hour than newbies. With...
