    Archived So we now have no time clocks at my store!!!

    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...

    Archived What should I put on my resume for TL?

    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"...

    Archived So I was setting planograms with another TM this morning....

    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...

    Archived Calling the integrity hotline.....

    ...theft, violence at the store, etc.) Now, if you call the hotline for an AP issue, you can bet your ass it will solve the problem. What you are *supposed* to use the hotline for is to call up and say "Hey, Tom at store 0704 was pocketing SD cards in the electronics stockroom today". Then...

    Archived So I got to train a bat sh** crazy TM today

    So we have a new TM (who I think is about 30 years old) that I spent the morning training in electronics. I seriously think the guy may be paranoid delusional/schizo. As soon as I met the guy I kind of got the feeling he was kind of off, but whatever. No big deal. Everyone has something a...

    Archived Is the vibe just an excuse to rack up coachings for TMs?

    ...I thought they were paranoid, but now that it has happened to me, I am thinking they are on to something. This is the problem with the vibe bull sh**. No one knows what is and isn't ok for sure anymore. You can do something "amazing" for the guest and either get a high five by leadership...

    Got coached tonight. Wow.

    ...me that a message on workbench came out about this a few months ago, and that this was going in as a formal coaching. I thought he was full of sh** about it being illegal, but I just looked it up, and I'll be damned, seems it actually did become illegal a few months ago. So now I am...

    Archived So now Target is stealing peoples money out of their checking accounts

    ...something I can help you with?" then he goes "yea, if you can tell them to stop stealing from peoples bank accounts". Instantly I know some sh** is about to start. So I start trying to ask him what he is talking about and he says he doesn't want to talk to me anymore and wants to talk...

    Archived What would happen if a TL pushed a TM?

    Out of curiosity, what would happen to a TL (who was angry) who walked up behind a TM, said "move", and used both hands to push him out of the way, so much so that the TM almost fell over?

    Archived Huddle Idiocy and Power Trips

    ...So I need you [talking to me] to let the guest know that and any other information. If you guys don't it will be a coaching. It was a fu**ing huge face palm moment. I just shut my mouth in disbelief. The TM I can understand - the dude once told me he dropped out of school in 8th grade...

    Whoever you are, it didn't work

    Imagine my surprise this morning when I came into work only to be greeted by our ETL-HR telling me she needed to speak with me immediately. I walk into her office to be greeted by her and our STL ready to fire my ass. So, they told me that "a team member" told them that I told him that I...

    Archived All new ETLs are getting $60K to start now???

    Has anyone else heard this? Today at work our clerical TM told me she overheard our ETL-HR talking. Apparently she said that because ETL turnover has gotten so high in the company, they are now going to offer $60,000 annual salary to all new external ETLs. If this is true, it is...

    Archived How accepting of diversity are people at your store?

    I thought this might be an interesting poll since I haven't really seen this ever discussed. We all know that different stores have totally different cultures in terms of leadership, rules, etc. But, what is your store like for diversity? (i.e. race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.)

    Archived What is life like for ETLs at your store?

    I have to admit, when I first started working at my store I felt the ETLs were generally pretty evil. Just bitter and hateful to TMs at all times. Now, however, I am really starting to feel bad for them. Our STL basically rules them like a king. I was walking by the ETL offices today...

    Archived Counting the money in the cash office after close?

    ...was dead silent, and I didn't hear any noise from the cash office so I figured he must have had to run to the bathroom or something. I stood there *literally* for about another 25 minutes wondering when the hell he was going to finish whatever he was doing. To my surprise, all of a sudden...

    Archived Target is not going out of business because hours gets cut!

    ...olds out of high school with no job prospects waiting in like to replace that TM. And I will say this - everyone here knows I hate a lot of sh** about this company, but I swear if there is one thing I admire about target it is how good they are at making money and finding new ways to do...

    Archived Don't knife me Mr. Flow TM

    ...how much they hate guests. I don't exactly love Target either, but damn isn't there something else you would rather talk about for once? I may bi** a lot on these forums, but at work I actually try to have a somewhat positive attitude. Apparently my store is having major turnover issues...

    Archived HSA deductible amount

    Can someone tell me what the deductible for the HSA account is for a single person? I could have sworn that I read somewhere on some form that it was several thousand dollars. I want to say like $5000 or $6000. I have no idea where I saw that though, or if I am even remembering correctly...

    Archived "I have a chemistry degree and I'm working retail hahahaha"

    Back only a few days and already there is an ETL I can't stand. She constantly is making comments designed to remind everyone how great she is masked as "jokes". I have already heard her randomly say "I have a chemistry degree and I'm working retail hahaaha" about 4 times. I've had to...

    Archived I go in for orientation tomorrow!

    I got my call for orientation. I go in tomorrow. Apparently HR has not hired many people recently, so I will be having orientation by myself lol. She said she wants to do it "quickly" since I already will be familiar with everything. Weird feeling. Never though I would be back in red and...
