    Archived Just a heads up

    My first job was self employment in IT, so unfortunately for me, I knew what a great job was from the start through being my own boss and having complete control over my company. I completely agree. After several failed attempts to promote I began to think I really didn't have leadership...

    Archived Go Out With A BANG!

    ...plans or attachments that they didn't need, didn't ask CIHYFS, didn't work any reshop or backstock, didn't do the job of instocks or plano, did a ****ty job zoning while talking to friends, and played angry birds on my phone at the boat. Basically for one day I did my job just as ****ty as...

    Archived Just a heads up

    ...in a worthwhile field and enjoy success. You know I usually lurk here from time to time, but I really can't stand the "it could be worse stop *****ing" mentality. That attitude is why Target and many other companies are failing. It's why people themselves are failures. It's a lazy...

    Archived Electronics Guest Shenanigans

    Both when I was an Elec/MMB TM and now in my current position at an IT company, I still haven't gotten past the blank stares and my inability to explain technology to the technologically illiterate. Need to hire a translator. lol.

    Archived "Please stop laughing, this is your review..."

    When I worked at Target I got a review with nearly all E's and some O's. The final rating was an IE with a .05 cent raise. The review didn't even bother to mention things that I could've done better. Sometime before and after it I attempted to get promoted to TL. Three times in fact, and lost...

    Archived I'm Tired: Not A Good Excuse To Leave, But It's The Truth.

    Not to be rude but I have to question the life choices of an individual if they find it necessary to work more than 2 jobs for an extended period of time. In response to the OP, any ETL is going to hassle you unless you say you are sick to the point where you can't work. It's Target. I...

    Archived Leaving Retail for Retail?

    If you haven't already tried it, go through your universities career center if they have one and go for an internship/apprenticeship. Those usually pay a minimum of $10 an hour and they let you ease into your field at a slower pace while learning. If you really must choose between retail and...

    Archived Best Company Ever? Really?

    Welcome to Retail. The real world doesn't always work that way.. at least not when you work in an industry that requires an education, and can't be outsourced. Sure people will call off, but when you are paying them upwards of 50,000 a year and they know their boss won't tolerate any B.S...

    I logged in for the first time in a very long time after someone told me about these. Bravo.

    Archived Thank you Breakroom.org members

    Just posting to give a quick shout out and thanks to all the breakroom.org members this past year or two for answering questions, and helping everyone adjust to their positions at Target. As a few of you know I left Target a month or two ago. Based on the current happenings in the company...

    Archived Cleaning house of Team Leads

    Yup that happened at my store. I was in that program but it was a waste of time since seniority was still the more important factor. I just got to do extra work for free.

    Archived Since they need to see my id...

    Just another reason to add the list of reasons why I no longer shop at Target (on top of having quit there recently) I hope you all will leave that cursed place soon.

    Archived What would you do if you could change target at will?

    What I would do If I were in charge of Target corp 1. Separate performance evaluations and pay raises. The two don't actually belong together. Performance evaluation determines whether or not you have a job or get a promotion. Pay raises should be be yearly based on inflation, competitive...

    Archived 45 not allowed in target cafe

    Its situations like that that made me grateful for the 1 hour paid lunch that I get now... or the fact that I can eat at my desk whenever I want. Target treats/treated us like crap. The lack of logic I saw in that place was crazy. At my old store we had to take a lunch out of sight as well...

    Archived LOA Questions

    If you put Target down on your employment list they WILL find out. They can see you are on LOA. If they don't connect the dots then the company really is far gone lol.

    Archived LOA Questions

    I don't condone ethics violations, but I'm understanding when we all know what we are/were up against. It's part of looking at the big picture. I was lied too for a year about a variety of things. I watched as my inputs went on deaf ears. Sometimes I would suggest something, it would be...

    Archived LOA Questions

    You will be termed if they find out, although it is unlikely in most cases. If you really want another job, you are better off grinning and bearing it and starting the job search NOW. Putting in apps isn't time consuming or hard as long as you make a simplified process out of it. If you...

    Archived 5 years...I'm done too.

    That depends on the states laws. In my state you can get unemployment if you quit but only if you have reasonable proof that it was under duress or due to harassment outside of regular pressure from management. If her situation was bad enough, she WILL get unemployment as long as her state has...

    That's basically what happened to me. I won't miss the culture at all.

    Archived STL denies all changes in availability.

    I remember when I was told I had to work both saturday and sunday period, year round. Any availability change wouldnt be approved. Their idea was "College isn't on the weekend, what could you possibly want the time off for" I quit for 9-5 m-f job a week later. That was only one of the smaller...
