Your last check will typically be mailed to you but get with your HR because it could be different from store to store. It will be issued immediately so expect to see it in a week or two. Vacation time should be paid out depending on state laws.

When our store began cutting hours hard I talked to my store leader and showed my dissatisfaction. This was at a time when we were loosing many veteran and good workers so they figured I'd be next if they didn't do something fast. I've been scheduled 40 a week every week from then on. Sometimes...

I went up for backup cashiering today, when I looked up to get off the lane it turned out I was the only person up there. These low hours are crazy. The guests are not responding well to being forced into self check out. Target promotes "ease" as their goal for guest experience then says "nah...

I actually really used to enjoy working at Target. It was fun especially my first year.

"The future is female" plaque. Where is my "the future is male" plaque to go with it? Boo who I want my equal rights.

Sad but true. I was never the one to be all "oh poor me" about promotions but the people they are putting ahead of me for the bench are so bad it's a joke at this point. They even admitted all they do is stand around and talk while the other managers were around at the working huddle. Meanwhile...

Read my profile name. It's the same at all stores. They keep choosing the most horrible team members to be next in line ahead of me. I basically run a whole department and all my people come to me and not the managers for instruction. Yet they don't prioritize me so I've also stopped caring...

Our store gave up on pushing selling, we are so so on guest service, and all in on trying to stay alive. Electronics pushing left over hardlines truck, hardlines backstocking for backroom. It's a shit show at this point tbh.

Yep, since I've been with Target I've had 7 male managers and 14 female managers. The bias is pretty clear to me.

I try so hard to enjoy working at Target and keep my own morale up but it seems every time I start feeling good again Target finds a way to crush it. This is by far my least happy year at Target.

I find Target is very female bias as a whole. 90% of my managers have been females and it seems all they promote is females. Nothing wrong with women as managers but at this point it seems like it's so much harder to promote if you're a guy which isn't fair or equal if that's what their goal is.

Our VM makes senior team lead pay ($17) does yours not?

Good for you, you can put the GSA promotion on the resume and talk about the promotion without them knowing your pay didn't increase. It's a good conversational tool.

TARGET: "You want to be an assistant manager without the pay? Sure have at it!" TEAM MEMBER: Ok well at least I'll make a bit more than the people I'm overseeing... TARGET: "soooo about that..." It's a big slap in the face really I'm not surprised all but 2 of my GSAs have quit.

Our Samsung rep gave us a bag with the long screws but we didn't have enough so now there are TVs missing on the wall. Also our PMT helped set the whole wall even though his boss was mad he didn't do only the top row.
