To my surprise, I got an interview scheduled soon for a job in my major. Not sure if the job actually starts in December, but if it did and I actually got the job, would I face any backlash for quitting so close to the holidays?
Lost name tag, instantly asked by every single guest "do you work here?" Without exception, they stop, take a look at me, assume I work here and start to ask me a normal question... but something isn't quite right, so they need to make sure first. I didn't think it was that strange at first, but...
Oh, I did. I saw the rollover shift in the latter half of last week, so I put it on the board. Someone signed for it and then crossed it out. I didn't see that it was crossed out until yesterday, since the cross was a thin line that I didn't catch the first couple of times I glanced at it. It...
To me, holidays are actually supposed to mean something, otherwise they aren't holidays. "Time and a half" isn't a celebration. I don't understand being so attached to your job that your private life and health don't mean anything, so everything just becomes a race to retirement. That's not me...
Actually, I'd just laze. Same thing I do on most of my days off.
Not surprised, just not happy about it. I've worked for Target for a few years now, planning to get out very soon.
That's really messed up, though. Everyone else has the day off, so it has to come at our expense? Time and a half for one day, on part-timer's pay, barely goes anywhere, and it's not like I can just turn it down without having it affect my attendance.
I find myself asking this question on a lot of days, but it's bothering me a bit more today (partially because it also happened to be a rollover shift). Target isn't exactly in the business of life-or-death, why do we still have to come in?
Everyone in here is so motivated, I'm almost scared to comment back. On the day I posted this, I just spent some time in the breakroom. Don't poke me with the pitchfork yet, though! I eventually got bored and ended up zoning and auditing instead.
I was surprised that there was so little work...
Every once in a while, I run into times where all my work is done, and all my manager has for me to do is to "work on reshop" when there's no reshop to do. Now, I know what I'm supposed to be doing during these times. There's always work to be done, be proactive, yada yada.
Be honest, what do...
Where is RTW (ready-to-wear?), usually? I hear it referenced a lot. Before anyone jumps on that, even the names for hardlines areas took me a while to figure out. No one ever explains them or goes over them during training. In fact, if not for this website, I still wouldn't know what some people...
No I don't. I guess I should find time to take a scenic route around that side of the store, but I avoid that whole area during my shift for most of the day since I'm more likely to be asked a question about softlines if I'm in softlines, and if their question has more depth than "where is...
Been getting more than the usual amount of people walking deep into hardlines to ask me about where something in softlines is. I have no idea where anything specific is in softlines, I only know a few general areas that I get asked about frequently. They changed the floor layout a little while...
Just as a follow-up, things went fine. Got a stern talking to from the store manager about how this should be a write-up due to the circumstances, but his use of the word "should" made me optimistic. The worst of the injury took a couple of weeks to clear up, but I'm back to work and doing well...
Had an injury less than a week ago that I'm pretty sure has torn my shoulder. It didn't hurt that day, but became hell the next morning. Didn't think it was a big deal at first, but got more alarmed when it didn't heal. I had called off 2 days at first, stating the work injury as the reason over...
