We still have ample visits but District doesn't seem to call out as much as 10 or 15 years ago. Personally, I think it is because Corporate is bleeding upper store talent and District tries to be firm yet understanding as most store leaders don't have years experience in Target like in the...

We have had pizza, bagels, granola bars, coffee bar, subs, fried chicken, specialty donuts, items made from home and brought in, taco bar, turkey with a few fixins, and a few other things. Interestingly when we veteran TMs and TLs talk to new hires, especially seasonal, they say we are like...

Good idea, no. Mixing business and personal is never a smart idea. However, what does policy say. You can't date someone you report to. Not this can look different bc ASANTS. This has happened a lot and we just typically transfer someone out to another store and keep one in house. Issue resolved...

$5/year. What a freaking joke. And I say this as someone who has received various anniversary gifts from Target. I know that not all companies give anniversary gifts and my tone may sound entitled, but at $5/year, more or less, why not just let us pick some Target merch out of a catalog

Overall thoughts. For now, more expectations on store leaders than 5 years ago. People are in general harder to work now than 5 years ago-eg 5 years ago ppl would not hide their phones and be on them through out the day vs now some ppl care less, guests demand more now-eg they cannot hear no...

For once, the article used the right adjective 'sloppy' stores. We have been saying it, let's hope Corporate internalizes it. Although vet employee here, I'll believe it when I see it.

Yes just talk to them. The system is not good at catching schedule errors so room for lots of operator error mistakes. If you put it on the application, it should be honored.

Making a lot of edits with new UKG rollout but your time can be edited if you need to adjust your hours,e.g. bump up to 40

I, too, remember zoners per each area. If we finished early (eg within an hour of store closing with no reshop ("returns")) everyone got a drink and a snack on their way out. Made us move fast and work as a team. Also, pre BC.

Stores are falling apart because the C suite has never worked a day in a store or distribution center. Nor do they care or want to do so. Or if they do, the store stages it for them. Makes me think of Undercover Boss and once the CEO realized the actual conditions, they always made some change.

It is something newer being done in our store. Similar items have been done and dropped as we gained different leaders but since Target eliminated in person interviews about 8ish years ago, some leaders like to meet someone, ask basic answers and get a feel for the person before making a...

If I see a senior applying, typically they are punctual, periodically grumpy but generally respectful and overall know how the employer employee relationship works. Compare to a 18 yr old that may have ghosted us and I'm looking under the bathroom stalls because instead of giving a 2 week notice...

Well given that you respond by work center and I am a team of 1, I'll be putting neither agree or disagree like I do each year. And they say it is anonymous...not for the small work centers.

Yes, at my store, especially the leaner months of Feb, March and June. Although ASANTS...

As someone in HR, it is sad but true. I always tell people Target is not for someone who needs steady income because they have bills to pay. If so, Target should supplement their primary and more fixed income. Otherwise, late payments are coming.
