I totally agree, its just that target doesn't care about the long term they just need to keep showing a boost in quarterly earnings at the shareholders meetings and in general unskilled labor has a lower threshold for being efficient then skilled labor does. It should only take around a month...

high turnover isn't really affecting targets bottom line and actually improved it for a few quarters, not having to pay veteran employees reduces payroll costs and corporate has figured out that they can squeeze twice as much work out of someone for half the pay.

i never thought about that, from watching one of my GSTLs i figured it was pretty standard practice and was never talked to about it. Maybe twice a week i would knock 5 dollars off due to someone having to wait for an old person to try and remember their social security number for a red card app.

i wouldn't complain about your TL simply for the fact that if one of you gets fired or moved to a different area then you wouldn't have a reason to post on here and complain about stuff with the rest of us.

does this happen to anyone else? there are at least two people at my store who get extremely defensive about the registers they are assigned to for the day. my GSTL never does the grid so a lot of times when i come in at mid day ill get put on a register that is "occupied" by someone on break...

my first day i spent about 4 hours being trained learned how to do WIC checks, rebate checks, regular checks, price checks, how to make 5 dollar gift cards, and was then had the trainer watch over me for the rest of my shift, i think she was bored out of her mind. the next day i got put on the...

my store seems to do it completely randomly. When i got hired a few weeks before black friday i got a four hour 1 on 1 session with a trainer who walked me through every single thing with fake checks and coupons which was nice and the trainer girl was pretty cute. then during the next batch of...

what exactly did i say that was false? you aren't required to sell a certain number of redcards all you need to do is ask the guest if they want one and explain what it is.

you are told about showing up on time and coming to work before you even sign the employment contract. if you don't care about cashiers meeting their conversion goals why even put them on CA then? How is CA even going to help? should their new pitch be along the lines of "oh please sign up for...

lying to your employees about expectations and requirements is generally a sign of poor management not to mention illegal. and to answer your question no, the only time i say "that's not my job" is when people try to get me to do work without compensation. i know you like to think you are some...

you are ignorant for lying to your cashiers about redcards being a core role and obviously not a very good leader if you think cashiers are trying to get away with not meeting conversion asking a guest if they would like one and informing them about the bennefits are all that are required. What...

getting redcards is not in the core roles and if you are going to be making target 3 times as much money per redcard sale you should be compensated fairly not with a piece of candy.

in my state you are legally required to take a 15 minute break every two hours. the statute is actually posted above the time clock in my store. target would get a pretty hefty fine and some bad press if it was found out TMs were being told not to take breaks. if it is really getting out of hand...

target isn't going to go through the effort to find out who said what on a survey. the BTS is just a tool for corporate to judge morale and pretend like they care what TMs think. obviously if an ETL gets rated badly by their work center corporate will move them around or term them but as long as...

when i cashiered i probably abused the price change button too much as i would just give out 5 dollar off coupons under the guise of vibing and to be honest i wasn't getting paid enough to deal with cranky customers so it was a quick way of shutting them up and making sure they left with an...
