    What happens to your Target 401K if terminated?

    There are dozens of threads on this. The money you contribute to the Target 401k, AND the money Target contributes as a "match" to your contributions, is YOUR money. It does not belong to Target. If you have at least $2500 in your Target 401k, you can keep the account open and let the...

    Holiday Pay

    What gets really confusing is the difference between "Holiday Pay" (in non-retail jobs, a literal paid day off from work) and "Holiday Premium Pay", an incentive pay issued to retail workers who work on a recognized holiday. I do not know if Memorial Day is a "recognized" holiday at Target, I...

    How often do the TM voice surveys come out?

    And that's just it, they choose NOT to share. Conceptually, though, doesn't seem damned stupid that "Team Voice Survey" findings aren't shared with the "Team". What a silly company!

    Price match if it says "when purchased online"

    I find it frustrating that most of my fellow TMs don't even use the Price Match app on our Zebras. Price Match is particularly useful if something is being clearanced out in your own store on MyDay, you can check the Target.com price and come up with a reasonable estimate of the clearance price...

    Merit Raises & Reviews: 2023 Edition

    To be honest, at this point I literally am praying for strength and success in finding a different job and employer. Fortunately, I don't think all that much about working at Target after hours. When I do worry about it, it's because in reality my paycheck isn't adequate. My spouse and I can...

    Price Match Policy

    At my stores, few TMs use the Price Match app on our Zebras. Our S&E ETL and TLs just tell us to "honor" what the guest says, although I don't know if they literally mean that. Talk is cheap, those instructions are not in writing, and I've seen outright abuse of Price Match by guests who...

    Price match if it says "when purchased online"

    I have to explain to guests that target.com is a different company within Target, we treat target.com as a competitor just like Best Buy, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Costco, Walmart or Amazon. At times, it does get frustrating, but at least it's easier to verify a price match with Target than with...

    Ten years ago: The short-lived rise and fall of Target Canada

    No. Target incurred massive financial problems from the late 2013 data security breach. It was described by business analysts as the largest data breach in US history (at that time in 2013). Target's high-level mucky-mucks withheld disclosure of the breach for several weeks. Financial...

    How often do the TM voice surveys come out?

    But I've never seen the results in my store, so is this another example of ASANTS or allowing a specific SD to hide the results from TMs?

    401k loan

    Mods, can this be added to a Sticky Topic combining the 401k questions?

    401k loans + repayment

    Mods, this should be a sticky topic. The same questions are asked over and over again, having it as a sticky will be more helpful for those with the same common questions. Side note: Friends Don't Let Friends Borrow Against Their 401k - The Laws of Unintended Consequences

    Merit Raises & Reviews: 2023 Edition

    But that's the problem: there's plenty of high-school and college students willing to work at Target for the current base wage ($17.75 hour in our area). Bumping the base raise is a nasty kick in the ass to existing TMs who know how to perform their jobs, know the things to be careful about...

    How often do the TM voice surveys come out?

    So when will actual Team Members be able to see the company-wide results of the Team Voice Survey? What is Corporate trying to hide?

    Ten years ago: The short-lived rise and fall of Target Canada

    Towards the end of that commercial, I loved the shots of Vancouver's Stanley Park and Burrard Inlet! Betraying my age, I have priceless childhood memories of four visits to Expo '86 -- a long drive from the Seattle area for a Disneyland-like experience. Tickets to Expo '86 were CAD$20 each...

    Ten years ago: The short-lived rise and fall of Target Canada

    Ten years ago, after less than 18 months to set up supply chains and generally adapt to doing business in a foreign country, Target Canada's first stores opened their doors to Canadian shoppers. For a variety of reasons - including financial and reputational problems occurring in 2013-2014...

    SCO Registers unable to accept cash

    Until recently, for a few months our store used handwritten sticky notes and cellophane tape to notify our guests on this. Finally, they found a corporate-approved sign that is much nicer-looking but not as explicit about no cash payments accepted.

    SCO Registers unable to accept cash

    Specifically, disable or gray out Cash on the SCO screen which lists the four distinct types of payments. Our machines are forced to offer cash back because we aren't allowed to disable that option as well. Usually the cashback feature works adequately but over the past two weeks they've...
