I am redoing the team trainer board at my store and can’t think of any way to decorate it to make it fun. Any ideas?

Reasons I've heard are... Don't like who the LOD is that shift only scheduled a 4 hour shift and not worth their time to drive for 4 hours of work we have some TMs that don't like long shifts scheduled too many consecutive days don't like the work center they are scheduled in (however only...

I agree. I’ve had a lot of TMs get hired because they gave great answers in the interview then turn out to be the “worst” employees...show up late, never get their work done, etc.

I work at Target as well. In HR. Just because HR sucks at your store doesn’t mean it’s like that every. I will say I think it’s crazy that Target will put whoever into the HR ETL/TL role with out proper qualifications which leases to crappy HRs. And if people show up late to orientation or don’t...

Again you’re assuming that they were told between 12-4. We don’t know what they were told. The mom only heard what her kids reported to her. She didn’t hear the conversation. And we all know kids don’t always give their parents the whole story

First of all, it’s an orientation not an appointment. The 25 year old should’ve known that orientations last a couple hours and involves more than just signing a few papers. The 17 year old probably was his first job so might’ve cut him some slack. Second of all, the HR’s instructions were...

The only part of MyTime you can see from home is your schedule

At my store we will take call ins as early as the day before. You can tell me two weeks before that you won’t be able to make that shift and I’ll try to replace it. But I’ll still tell you to call the day of. I have 100+ TMs to deal with I won’t remember in two weeks that you “called out” and...

Same here! I swear every orientation I have at least one person forgot their ID and then get upset with me when I tell them they can’t start. Smh. And I tell them 3 times they have to have the correct IDs from the list or they can’t start. If you can’t follow simple directions like that then I...

Just because you’re not moving as much doesn’t mean work is not getting done.

Go back to HR and ask to see the availability commitment you signed. And if the dates are on there it’s politely point that out. Did you give specific dates or did you just say something like “I have band camp at the end of October, I’ll need off then.” Because if you didn’t give specific dates...

Ahh gotcha. I was gonna say who does payroll, who puts food in the breakroom, who makes sure training gets done, who brings on new team members, who HAS to listen to everyone’s problems, who handles benefit questions? I could keep going haha. By no mean is my job the hardest or most labor...

I average 35 hours a week but I also do cash office shifts so usually around 30 in HR during 4th quarter. Sometimes 40 when there are lots of orientations to do (yes, I do orientations even though the ETL or TL is supposed to) the rest of the year it’s abiut 20-25 hours in HR and I’m crossed...

Why?

Did you give them specific dates during your interview? If so point that out to your HR. If you didn’t then they don’t have to approve your requests off. At least in my store we try to accommodate as many time off requests as possible and it’s on a first come first serve basis. Side note: you...
