This. Get trained for backroom; there is always stuff to do, especially stowing, if you worked at my store. When did you start? When I started, I was given a schedule for the next week. I was not placed on the actual schedule until the following week. If the next schedule is like this, be...

I had a couple of TM's be promoted, then acted very differently toward us. Neither one of them are working for Spot. I managed to make their lives a living hell when I was working there. We had a 21 year-old ETL at my store, and I couldn't help but laugh at how incompetent he was. You can...

None right now, but maybe in a few years, they will go to a new system, and you might be eligible for rehire. I have had two Team Member numbers; one from when I worked cashier for a couple months, and then one again in 2014. I knew people who walked out, but got their job back a year later...

Our store did away with those too.

I can completely relate to your story (although I don't cry), as I really enjoyed this job, that I was working this in addition to my other job, which is VERY well paying. I did the best I could, regardless of position, or pay. When I lost that desire, hunger, and passion to work to my...

I started in July of 2014, and at first, I did not enjoy it. However, I established a great rapport with many. I received a job (I have an MBA) in finance that paid the about same rate as an ETL (edited because listing specific salaries, even from another job is not appropriate) in late 2014...

I made 12.00 + 1 for shift premium when I quit. I was making 11.34 at last review, then I was making 11.50 (I had no idea that I was making that), then now it's 12. I had been there nearly four years, albeit mostly part time. I can do everything in logistics, and almost anything in the store...

This is terrible, but it would not surprise me. In our store, we would pull the waco's then we would pull the case packs. The system would have us going from back-to-front, which is terribly inefficient. The new Zebra system is great, except when you get stuck with Office and it has 179...

I just quit my position at Target, but I worked logistics. It has been an absolute nightmare at our store. We are a UHV store, with a large University in town. Basically, the DC will drop all of the extra crap on our store. Since the remodel last year, we have lost 40% of floor space for...

They make you clock out, because of liability issues; if you were to get in a wreck, Target cannot be held liable. That being said, generally, the team member is still "on the clock". I remember walking to another job when I was younger; another employee was sent to get me, and was forced to...

There are a lot of excuses free-flowing on these boards and at my store. I work flow and I do some backroom. The largest reason why I don't want to be a GSA or GSTL, is because everyone has an excuse to not respond to backup. Everyone is always "with a guest". I am a level-three leader at...

This is funny; I am a flow team member, who is a level-three manager (about the level of an ETL or SrETL) at another job. The flow team does have a difficult job; we are constantly being yelled at to move faster, and we have multiple call-ins every day. However, the front-lanes have a hard...

First and foremost, allow me to congratulate you on your promotion; I have read through your journey, and I am happy for you. If I were your boss, and you told me, I would be having a conversation with that team member; if your leader isn't going to back you, then what's the point? That person...

This is long; however, it is very important that you understand these things. What Target, and every corporation needs is LEADERSHIP. Anyone can manage; however, it takes effort, skills, and competence to become a true leader. Many view management and leadership as two different concepts; I...

The TL's are supposed to go by policy; policies are there to keep order. However, strictly adhering to policy with no flexibility isn't good either. I wonder if he's just out of college; many of the TL's at my store are young and tend to go on power-trips. I am a leader at another company...
