No! Sorry, I definitely didn’t word that correctly. They were informed before that shift. Those fake shifts were given in the event we couldn’t speak to them before the schedule was posted. Because when the schedule came out on Thursday, if they saw they weren’t on it, it caused problems. Then...

As HR, I want to say that is a tactic they can use, but they’re usually not so obvious about it. For example, with seasonals we were going to let go, we gave them fake shifts on the schedule so they wouldn’t suspect. It’s possible your TLs just don’t care to be obvious. On the flip side, it...

There’s a $5 restocking fee? I’ve never heard of that. Is that a thing for other stores?

Yes, TLs can be scheduled outside if their area. When our Sr TL- replenishment is the closing LOD on a truck day, our SrTL-POG takes his place on unload if our ETL- LOG can’t be there. That happens usually once a month. So it’s not often.

Walmart used that tax break to give out $1000 bonuses. But only if you were theee for 20+ years. It was way less for everyone else. And they hoped that news would conceal the fact that they were firing tons of people. So bonuses aren’t always what they seem.

Asants. But this is true at my store, fortunately. We’re attempting to FIND TMs who want to cross train to fill our gaps instead of hiring. It’s the easier thing to do, too, since we already know about their performance/personality/attendance.

For me, I write the whole schedule, except logistics. I know what my ETLs and STL want, so i do it and it basically comes down to final cuts to meet payroll. My ETL GE has literally no idea of how to do anything in mytime except print the daily grid Why isn’t your HR doing the schedule? Per...

That’s sad. It’s been a long time since I’ve been down that way. I used to live in Georgia but I’ve since moved to another state.

Oh no! The very first target I ever went to is on that list!! Macon, GA. I instantly fell in love with target as a store. That is heartbreaking! Also heartbreaking that so many TMs are out of a job.

I woke my husband up laughing at this

I’m so jealous. It’s like pulling teeth to get our Starbucks to fill a shift.

In this person’s defense, we had a TM do the same thing. The only difference is that he’s an awesome worker who is cross-trained in multiple areas and is so reliable, so we want to retain him. When I’m writing the schedule, I do stretch and get him in. Does it take 20+ hours away from other TMs...

This is by far my fave answer. Only for the last 2 sentences. But as previous posts have said, they are attached to stores. My HRBP has a home store she works out of, but it’s nearly 4 hours away in another state so I don’t know much else. I do have to disagree with you on this part. The...

I read through the first page of the thread, but I don’t feel like reading through the second to see if my suggestion had been said but.... I would suggest you get the number for several TLs and the HR (ETL, TM, or both) so that when you encounter issues with attempting to return calls, you can...

Speak to your HR because it’s corporate who sends the packet with the gift card. HR is responsible for giving the packet to you. So it’s not that your store didn’t do anything, they either didn’t receive or lost your packet.
