I'm calling troll on this...

Go ahead and let your friends use your discount. Then you can post a forum on here about being fired and being forced to pay back the difference. So go ahead, I enjoy I good laugh when employees to stupid things.

I would call the hotline on them if they don't pay you. In most states there are such laws as "reporting time", hours vary by state. Meaning if you drive to work to sign a piece of paper they have to pay you X amount of time. In my state it's 2.5 hours. So if a supervisor asked you to come in...

There really is no point in debating this topic with you I guess, you have your mind set. Just some words of advice/wisdom from someone who use to manage just like you and think like you - Your leadership style will evolve and change as you get more experience and go through life situations...

Are you a leader in this situation? Having childcare issues is an added stress on the parent as well. You should have a sit down with your employee to get the full info before dismissing it as a "kids" card. There maybe more to this situation then you think, and if you are not approachable then...

As much as you may not like parents getting special treatment, it's the hard reality. In my state, if you miss any time due to your child being sick, your work cannot count this against your attendance. This is a new state law that was put in place over a year ago, you only need to be employed...

It's not exactly like this. 3 occurrences gets you a verbal (active 6 months) + 1 occurrence and a verbal = 1st write up (active 1 year) + 1 occurrence and 1st write up = 2nd write up (active 1 year) + 1 occurrence and 2nd write up = final (active 1 year) + 1 occurrence and final = termed 1...

You need to STOP worrying about the "what if" situations when you return. I drove myself crazy over this for years, thinking everyone was out to get me. This stuff will drive you nuts and affect your personal life and work performance. You need to just focus on getting better, take this time...

Has this TM always had this schedule? If so, you can't just expect them to change their schedule out of no where because of staffing issues. What your ETL should have done is sat this person down and explained the situation for future scheduling needs while also explaining that retail is an...

In order to classify someone as exempt meaning salary, that person needs to be able to show that 50% of thier time is spent on leadership duties. Salaried positions need to be managing a process or people, hiring and firing authority, as well as develop people or a process. Thats why in...

No, I don't work for spot.

My pet peeves when I worked at store level: TM's that never showered - loosing the rock paper scissor battle on which leader is stuck having that awkward conversation. TM's that say "I don't get paid enough to do.." when being asked to do something in thier JOB DESCRIPTION. TM's that don't...

Where is targets backbone? Some of the stories I read on here makes me do a head tilt and say "what...?" I managed in a very rough Walmart, where managers get extra pay to work there. I like to call it combat pay. No matter how tough the customer acted, I would back up my customer service...

You could be. Were you on FMLA? If so, then this is job protected but not position protected. If you have been replaced in the store and head count for ETLs are at its peak, they can technically send you to another store within reason of driving distance (look into this cause some companies say...

Ooo.... These are fun to investigate. I've termed a lot of employees when I worked in the store because they shared there employee discount. Now I get to investigate online employee discount abuse. Just be thankful you didn't get termed for this. If it's a lot of money you can be sued by the...

Are you sure they were sick hours? Cause 270 hours would give you almost 34 days of calling out sick.

I do work for a retail HQ, just not target HQ.

TTO-office coworker(s). Do you really need to take the elevator to go up or down 1 level? It takes me 10 minutes just to get go ground level from floor 8. I only get 30 minutes for lunch!!!!

Unfortunately, this is probably the reality of the outcome. A stigma might stick with her for awhile. That's why you always need to be careful of your actions at work.

If this really was a mistake, then it's a good lesson to learn - always pay attention to what you are doing and your surroundings.
