Hey guys! So I searched the forums a bit and saw a lot of great info on the 401k loans and whatnot, but didn't see anything addressing my particular issue. I'm in the process of moving and I'm having to break a pretty terrible lease to do so and I was hoping to borrow from my 401k to cover...

SCO is supposed to engage guests too?! That defeats the entire point of SCO! Corporate must be full of nothing but the super popular/outgoing kids from middle school, because they can’t seem to get it through their thick skulls that not everyone enjoys interacting with people. I stopped going...

They have a legit reason to fire you, but it’d be pretty crappy of them to do so. I mean, if they didn’t cover this in training how is it fair to go straight to firing someone? People try this scam all the time- why isn’t this a priority in training? It would take 3 seconds to say “NEVER allow...

Same. He was by far our best seasonal hire- had so much potential...and they booted him for that one thing- he wasn’t even obnoxious or anything- just a little hungover. Such a bummer. I can’t believe your store is letting her stay since she’s not even a good worker.

We would probably have a deadly rug aisle...if anyone on our truck team even bothered to push the rugs :mad: they always just shove them off the line and never come back to grab them to push with the rest of their freight. So I bundle them up and throw a pull clip on them. The vehicle normally...

((Well this ended up being a weird rant! :confused:)) DIO. Got a .35 cent raise which was wiped out by moving the starting wage up to $12/hr. So I’ve been here 3yrs, had a DEO review last year and discussed the possibility of promoting to TL, and have busted my ass for 3yrs, but I’ll be...

The funniest part about this is that some of our laziest workers acknowledge every guest, and its SO obvious it’s just part of their laziness. It’s like I can actually see the gears turning in their mind going “oh- this is another chance to ignore my work for half a second!” whenever someone...

I was just talking to some of my coworkers about this the other day! Like...why waste time on interviews? The interviews clearly aren't accomplishing much, and they just seem to hurt our day-to-day process! During the high hiring times of the year our TL is pulled away for a large portion of the...

Sound like the store you work in has a really healthy environment. That's awesome! My store is similar, although we definitely have our dark/petty/melodramatic/vindictive/passive-aggressive patches (not even people- patches! Sure, there are some people who always suck to work with, but even...

Yes! It's so awkward! Like...do I acknowledge it? Am I actually supposed to pull my walkie out of my pocket and thank them for thanking me? Or say "yea, glad to help!" ?? I would feel so embarrassed/self-absorbed doing that. But not acknowledging it seems equally problematic. Does that make it...

I'm finding myself a bit frustrated with inventory prep this year. It seems totally inefficient. Not sure why it's bothering me this year- I don't think it's any different than it's been in the past...maybe I'm just feeling the crunch more this year? Our ETLs are having us mark all casepacks...

That actually makes a lot of sense. I hadn't really thought about the fact that if patio sells really bad in my store it would kind of be a dead zone. I was just thinking "we're gonna be stuck with all this patio stuff that didn't sell!" but I wasn't looking at the bigger picture of the...

We're the exact opposite. We've got a lot of seasonal stuff sitting on pallets in the back that we don't have room to flex onto the floor, but our STL has insisted we start setting a couple of BTS aisles back there. ...seriously???

Hewitt is the definition of misery. They were such a pain to deal with when I took my LOA. My store was fantastic, my doctor did what he needed to do, but Hewitt was like a pesky mosquito that always seemed to be bothering me, while also managing to not get much accomplished in a timely manner

Assuming you're a good employee and your leaders respect you, just tell them the truth and give them as much heads up as possible. This is a really cool/rare opportunity. I think anyone could see that it's just not worth passing it up. Being reliable and hard working is important, but if you...

Fill out a card even if you don't want to donate!! Apparently Target is going to be randomly choosing a number of cards and if your card is chosen you get a $500 donation to the charity of your choice- even if you check the "I choose not to give at this time" box! I probably wouldn't have...

...I know this is totally off topic, but how are you keeping your insurance if you're only working 2 days a week?!? Insurance is 90% of the reason I'm still at Target, and I've been going through a pretty rough patch and have wanted to significantly cut back on my hours, but I'm too afraid to do...

Who decides what's "above and beyond" though? I mean, when I said that some of my coworkers and I do the work of 2-3 TMs you have to keep in mind that a good portion of our TMs are lazy as shit/take 25min breaks/walk slower than anyone I've ever met/play dumb to get out of tasks/etc. Plus, I...

I don't know...I kind of feel like if TMs can hold on for the first few months we'll be good because it sounds like this is going to be a total shit-show, so I'd imagine that those of us who manage to make it through and continue to show exceptional performance will be in a pretty good position...

In that case there must be a way for stores/districts to customize the time span they want to track, because it sounds as though you and I had very different results basically doing the exact same thing. Definitely not accusing you of lying, but I also know that I didn't have a single item flag...
