I wonder how many people who say "if I could find something else" are even really looking? I hear tons people at my store say "I'm going quit when I do X".... and then I always ask them what they have done towards doing X? And 99.9% of the time the response is always "nothing" or some (usually...

No offense to any TPS's here, but I have to say that every single TPS (and even APS) I have ever met have been a few donuts short of a dozen..... My favorite was a TPS I had to deal with for about a year when I was the electronics TL back at my old store. The guy created this paranoid...

...problem with Target is that they keep the dead weight around.... seriously, think about it. You damn near have to go out of your way to literally *try* to get fired at Target before you actually will. I had this guest come in the other day and say to me "You have lots of dead men here." I...

Last night I came in for my closing shift and couldn't clock in because the time clock was gone. As in, not even on the wall anymore. Instead, there was an LCD screen with a bar code scanner. So then our ETL-HR came out of her office and told me she had to give me something, which turned...

No kidding. Hear about the guy that leaked the PRISM information? His background? Dropped out of high school. Enlisted in the military. Got kicked out of the military in basic training because he didn't have what it took. Enrolled in college. Dropped out of college. His next step? Got...

...job besides retail/food service and degreed jobs.... like the world is that black and white. There are lots of jobs out there that have good pay *and* do not require a degree. When I was a playstation rep, I constantly had people come up to me and ask "How did you get your job????" like it...

...and creating schools with zero admission standards is not going to produce college educated people.... it is only going to produce people who *think* they are college educated, but because they really aren't, they still can't get a job that truly requires the same kind of college education...

I think a lot of people are making the mistake of failing to realize that there are different *types* of intelligence. There is emotional intelligence, mechanical intelligence, book smarts, etc. Ever hear of a mechanical aptitude test? They usually give it to plumbers, electricians...

I ended up giving the resume to him after working on it for 4 hours. Complete waste of time. I gave it to him, he looked at it for about 10 seconds, then said "great. I will keep this on file". So I asked him if I would be getting interviewed for the TL spot. Then he patted me on the...

This morning I was approached by our STL who told me that one our of sales floor TLs (who he wouldn't name) is going to be gone soon. (I suspect it is going to be our electronics TL though based on rumors I heard....) He told me that he has been impressed with me and that I "run circles"...

My insurance at Sony had a zero dollar deductible.

...you work with me I'll work here too!". A fed job has great pay, great benefits, and you have a much higher status in society than working retail. *No one* with a federal job would be also working for minimum wage at Target. It's like a medical doctor getting a job at Burger King. It...

Wow, that is really weird.... Normally when something breaks that upsets lots of guests (AC is one of those things) it is fixed with 24 hours. Leadership at your store/district is really dropping the ball.

...making the mistake of thinking that you actually "lack of sense of urgency". The fact is, if you are just hearing about this now, it is bull sh**. In other words, they just made something up to justify your review score. Fact is, the reviews are really just for show. I used to be a TL...

Target does layoff, just not hourly store employees.

This is so random, what are you talking about? Not as many people are paying money for a worthless degree as you seem to think. Yea, the media is making a big deal about it.... but seriously, take a look around. How many people do you know who are in college? (or anything beyond cheap...

So this morning I was setting planograms (no, not end caps, actual freaking aisles) with another TM for half the day. This guy was hired by Target right after he lost his job when his previous employer went out of business.... his previous employer was circuit city. He had worked for them 5...

Actually, in most states, no they can't. There is no federal law that requires breaks and most states do not have laws that require them. Management only gets in trouble because they are violating company policy, not law.

...for issues other than AP (theft,etc). This is pretty much unheard of at other companies. At other companies, the company doesn't give a rat sh** about what an employee thinks of his/her manager. Don't like how things are? No problem. There are 1000 people on the unemployment line waiting...

...mistake of forgetting I was just rehired, and therefore have my own handbook. You are quoting it out of context and you damn well know it. You also know that TM relations phone number in the book is a *different* number than integrity, and it clearly says the TM relations number is for HR...
