    Archived TM and cell phones

    At my store all of the TMs kept their phone on em at all times. I would occasionally txt in the bath room or if the store was empty behind the cash register. At my new job if you get caught as much as looking at your cellphone you get automatically suspended or fired. If your in the break room...

    Ours did a really good job. Granted they barely spoke any English but they still managed to be much nicer than most of the guests.

    I hated these things. We would have two a day when all the SF TMs would be required to attend. Customers would complain about being unable to find anyone to help them during these. Did management care? Of course not! So much for guest first.

    Respect is earned an not given. That is whats wrong with Target they hire people for management potions because they can memorize corporate speak and recite it verbatim with a straight face.

    I got it!!! :D Only thing is they needed me to start Monday so I couldn't give Target 2 weeks notice. So I'm not rehirable. Ahh, shoot.

    Thanks! I'm sure it will be ok. My friend said the interview is pretty much a formality and that I got the job. An interview can't be worse then another four months at Target.

    My the stores in my state sell beer and wine. But even with the discount you can get it cheaper elsewhere. You usually significantly cheaper.

    The mother of all rants.

    Archived Great Team Surveys

    I answered honestly and doubt anything good or bad will come from it. But I would love to see them punish or term TMs for giving negative responses to those questions! Could you imagine the public backlash from that?
