Turns out they were already planning on cross-training me starting Monday. Huh, they never told me about that! I'm not complaining! :excited: Also, I decided to just work the shift instead of asking for a sub. Now I know the proper procedure, though, so that's good. Saves me from nagging the...

Okay, great. What does rock star mean exactly? The ETL specifically announced that they needed people cross-trained in backroom, but I wasn't sure if I qualified. Are schedules posted anywhere online for TM to see? Or do I have to go into the store? And if so, am I allowed to d

Help! I'm new! I have a few questions for y'all. 1. How long do I have to wait before I request time off? I've been flexible and worked additional hours and stayed longer than I was supposed a few days (due to TL's request), and came in on a day I wasn't scheduled (also due to TL's...

I am a brand new "team member" at a PFresh Target store. I'm currently in training working the 6:00 AM Flow -Soft Lines or whatever it's called. :huh: I'm a college student trying to fit my work schedule around the 2 classes I am taking. So far I've only been sorting SL and restocking SL. I...
