Enjoy your new job! Light a red shirt on fire to celebrate !

I've never seen anyone there with anything but khaki...I even said something about wishing black pants were allowed...WEIRD!

Wait a minute...black pants are allowed!? I would have preferred that!

Yeah but it seems like a decent gig while you have it? Comparatively...retail management is a hard and horrible job. Big box retail is the worst. As an adult I can not imagine what it would take for me to be willing to work as an assistant manager at target (etl) many years ago I managed a few...

Our tel log always seemed miserable and overworked (frankly...he seems ti be the only etl that could be described as such...the rest seemed almost useless unles there was an omgvisit approaching. Oh- except for etl ge, who alternates between hysteria levels of mock friendliness and frightening...

I feel like this perfectly sums up targets essence. Along with their "expect more pay less" employment mantra, of course. They're just showing their true colors.

And remember to not use target as a work reference...possibly leave it off of your resume altogether in the future.

That whole thing was quite foul. Obvs. Damage control to try to show Tarmart in a different light than Wal-Mart... They are the same greed factories! You aren't fooling anyone. It COULD BE BETTER. But nobody is making it so.

http://www.marieclaire.com/career-advice/tips/a7185/career-advancement-tips/ Idk why I'm So fascinated by this...I guess it seems like target WANTS to give her more of a Cinderella story than is true...

http://www.abullseyeview.com/2011/11/target-evp-of-stores-tina-schiel-talks-black-friday/ No - I was wrong. she says she started in 1987 as an AREA MANAGER in an interview... So which is it I wonder?

I read another bio of hers that claimed she started as an STL. I found it conflicted with the tm story...also the fact that she travelled by police escort while in town makes my eyes roll uncontrollably...

Yeah. Wegmans is a renowned employer. target is a standard bare minimum employer.

This would make my dreams come true. I wouldn't want to curse at people...just goof around and maybe sing songs. And maybe imitate that insufferable gstl and make fun of him...blech.

This is something that drove me CRAZY. THAT extensive packaging for cosmetics when trying to set a sales planner or pog with an etl breathing down your neck and rushing you- only to have 60 percent of it not fit...anyway, but i guess the back room wants it all detrashed before its sent to...

They wont blame you- they certainly (should) understand that some guests will only take the supervisors word when they aret getting what they want from a lowly employee....not your fault.
