On the bright side businesa insiderand CNN are writing stories about what a shit show Target is

Bringing up safety concerns is not having a bad attitude it is protecting your team.

Spot does not make federal employment law, whistleblowing acts such as complaining about unsafe working conditions are protected under federal law. If you read my post you would see I mentioned the fact that documentation is needed.

I am just a part timehourly associate who has faced retaliation, not a lawyer. If you feel you were discriminated against I would document it. The biggest reason workplace allegations cannot be proven is because lack of documentation. I understand we are supposed to follow the chain of command...

Has Target discriminated against you on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or disability? Have you been denied reasonable accommodations for a documented medical condition? Have you spoken out about these issues or workplace safety and been told you were negative for...

ETL and salaried managers do not care about anything other than meeting numbers to get bonuses. The people at district do not give a damn what is really going on as long as the store looks nice for the visit every now and again. Everyone is just biding their time to till they find a job in the...

In your mind, many grunts do not feel this way. Interviewing, pfft, that is not work buddy. Flirting in the office with HR and playing with your phone is not leading.

While there are alot of Failures (ALOT) that doesn't change my statement. Spot expected us to be on board. If your leadership left you behind, I warned last year, things would get far worse. Nwe STLs and ETL will expect "store modernization" to be implemented no matter how much blood or limbs...

I prefer the "mean" managers because they usually are on top of their game, get things done, and hold slackers accountable.

Lets see, the TM does not open the door. He acknowledges the truck, runs the unload, delgates all stocking responsibilities, follows up w/ everyone to see how they are doing, calls break, asks ppl to stay late because we are never done on time since active TLs left.

YEs I am mad, because the turnover amongst etlis so high that ppl who have done the TLs job for them for years get past over. Those people doing the TL jobs are taken advantage of and passed over for promotion. This has a chilling effect on the work the rest of the team does. They see ppl not...

Why even have Team Leads then? Your job is basically not needed if a TM who makes the same as everyone else can do it.

YEs, I am aware of Brian Cornells history, too bad he did not pick up on Sam Waltons stores best attributes, upward mobility, promoting from within, and stable store leadership. I worked for Walmart from 2007-2010 and 2 of the 6 Assistant Managers are still there, whereas in 5 years at Target...

When the TM has been doing the TL jobs for over a year, it is not training. The TL stocks shelves while the TM runs the team. That is not training it is delegating all of your supervisory duties to someone who is not paid to do it.

grats ! From what I have seen at Target you are likely correct. IDK what it is but regardless of who the STL or ETL or TLs in my store are they just cannot spot talent ande promote a lot of lazy ppl. They fail to realize the worth of many of their hardworking employees. This produces less hard...
