My first job was self employment in IT, so unfortunately for me, I knew what a great job was from the start through being my own boss and having complete control over my company. I completely agree. After several failed attempts to promote I began to think I really didn't have leadership...

On my last day (day that I quit for a much better career) I took longer breaks, stopped upselling, told guests not to waste money on service plans or attachments that they didn't need, didn't ask CIHYFS, didn't work any reshop or backstock, didn't do the job of instocks or plano, did a ****ty...

when the only job of recent memory to compare target to is the military, of course working at target would be heaven. Some of us have had jobs that put us in the top 10% of income earners and have felt the need to throw spot into the mix. It's what I did for about a year before realizing spot...

Both when I was an Elec/MMB TM and now in my current position at an IT company, I still haven't gotten past the blank stares and my inability to explain technology to the technologically illiterate. Need to hire a translator. lol.

When I worked at Target I got a review with nearly all E's and some O's. The final rating was an IE with a .05 cent raise. The review didn't even bother to mention things that I could've done better. Sometime before and after it I attempted to get promoted to TL. Three times in fact, and lost...

Not to be rude but I have to question the life choices of an individual if they find it necessary to work more than 2 jobs for an extended period of time. In response to the OP, any ETL is going to hassle you unless you say you are sick to the point where you can't work. It's Target. I...

If you haven't already tried it, go through your universities career center if they have one and go for an internship/apprenticeship. Those usually pay a minimum of $10 an hour and they let you ease into your field at a slower pace while learning. If you really must choose between retail and...

Welcome to Retail. The real world doesn't always work that way.. at least not when you work in an industry that requires an education, and can't be outsourced. Sure people will call off, but when you are paying them upwards of 50,000 a year and they know their boss won't tolerate any B.S...

I logged in for the first time in a very long time after someone told me about these. Bravo.

Just posting to give a quick shout out and thanks to all the breakroom.org members this past year or two for answering questions, and helping everyone adjust to their positions at Target. As a few of you know I left Target a month or two ago. Based on the current happenings in the company...

Yup that happened at my store. I was in that program but it was a waste of time since seniority was still the more important factor. I just got to do extra work for free.

Just another reason to add the list of reasons why I no longer shop at Target (on top of having quit there recently) I hope you all will leave that cursed place soon.

What I would do If I were in charge of Target corp 1. Separate performance evaluations and pay raises. The two don't actually belong together. Performance evaluation determines whether or not you have a job or get a promotion. Pay raises should be be yearly based on inflation, competitive...

Its situations like that that made me grateful for the 1 hour paid lunch that I get now... or the fact that I can eat at my desk whenever I want. Target treats/treated us like crap. The lack of logic I saw in that place was crazy. At my old store we had to take a lunch out of sight as well...

If you put Target down on your employment list they WILL find out. They can see you are on LOA. If they don't connect the dots then the company really is far gone lol.
