My Target is not super lame. I love my job. Not all stores are the same and not all leaders are the same. My store is great but, there is another store about 10 minutes away that I would never work at even if you paid me triple.
When clocking out it asks if you if you had all your meal and rest breaks. Next it shows you your time card for the day and you verify if it is correct. Most peeps when clocking out after 8 hours are tired and just want to go home so, not paying attention when clocking out. It’s easy to to...
My advice call the store and talk to someone in HR. Does your store have a regular HR team member? Talk to them or the HR ETl. If HR is no help talk with your ETL. Don’t rely on the app for a training schedule.
Sounds like he is only wanting to work 9 or 10 am. Till 1pm. Maybe I’m reading it wrong I hope I am. No one at my store would approve that availability.
Do you notice how many peeps suddenly need to change availability after they hit 90 days. Suddenly grandma needs a caregiver, suddenly they are enrolling in school, suddenly they are going to church every Sunday. They go to church from 7 am. Till 10pm. So, can’t work any part of Sunday ever.
You were hired based off the availability on your application so, changing it now would be a no. The exception being if it benefited Target. If you put you couldn’t close, couldn’t work weekends and now you can then that would be ok.
Your first week I would not pick up any extra shifts. There is a reason they schedule light on your first 2 weeks. Leaders don’t want anyone getting overwhelmed in the beginning.
I personally don’t agree with documented conversations for every call out. I have been with Target 15 years and I call maybe once a year. If got a documented coaching for calling out I’d be angry considering my record. You could lose some great employees over this.
My store doesn’t do write ups for one call out. That is definitely not normal! I would ask your ETL and HR ETL. Does your store have a problem with call outs? Maybe that’s the reason for this.
Have you had an interview yet? You could try calling the store ask for HR. Tell HR you need to change your start time. Chances are slim you’ll get hired with that availability especially with quarter 4 busy holidays season. If you really want/ need the job I’d suggest having more availability...
