TLs telling you not to call in sick sounds illegal as fuck, what the hell? I live in CA so, stuff like that get companies sued over here.

I haven't talked to anyone from the old store who can confirm this is 100% true but, an old TM ran into me at my new job. Told me ALL the gossip. My old store manager had been sleeping with an ETL which resulted in him being transferred, and her either fired or she resigned. They were both...

On your application, and this is pretty much for every retail company now, you have to be a desperate little twat with 24/7 availability, and you have to be someone who knows everything about customer service, and willing to do it all for minimum wage. Good luck my friend!

I'm an hourly assistant manager for another company and I leave at my scheduled time, even if there is still a ton of work left or even if the store is a complete mess. My life doesn't revolve around work, work revolves around my life. My team may hate me the next day but, tough shit. If they...

That's pretty funny, haha. Yeah, ETLs at my old store didn't have the best communication with HR either. In fact, the ETLs mostly avoided HR. HR was always frustrated with them because they would always fail to mention changed shifts, 2 week notices, fail to let team members train, even when...

Well, being vaccinated doesn't grant you immunity, it just protects you from being hospitalized and dying. You can still spread the virus so, if you have people in your household testing positive, I would imagine that you would be asked to self quarantine. However, Target is retail and they will...

I'm pretty sure seniority and retail don't go together at all.

Dude, you screwed yourself pretty hard. AP has gone easy on TMs when I was with spot, but when a leader was caught, it was way different. They will definitely make an example of you. I doubt you'd go to jail, but you can technically get arrested. They will call the cops and have them read your...

I like how you act like a complete dork in front of the camera but, your main concern is whether or not they can hear you singing in the back, haha. I had a good relationship with my AP too, and I sung Iron Maiden songs in front of them in the backroom with pride. They would go upstairs to...

You guys ever just have random team members start chatting with you out if the blue without ever introducing themselves? I have had TMs in multiple jobs do that. I'll be minding my own business when, some stranger comes up to me, says my name and asks how I'm doing, then proceeds to chat with me...

You can't make me stop Nintendoing!!!

As fucked up as it is, we work retail. Retail will not turn a customer away, even for the safety of their own employees. All you can do is be safe and follow the rules yourself. Your boss cannot make you stand less than 6ft from a customer. They can't make you touch their non sanitized things...

I used to intentionally cut bags of candy and other snacks open and eat the newly made chargeback!

This made me want to take a shit while shopping at Tarshit... shit.

It's possible. I know some jobs have like an unwritten rule where if someone quits, leaves, anything to do with becoming unemployed by the company twice results in a "permaban" so to speak. That's why a lot of people who are on their 2nd run with the company are usually in for a longer run than...

I quit Target months ago, but I still regularly shop there. I haven't seen the hiring event happen yet, which usually happens around this time of the year, right? No HR was sitting in the front begging for new hires or anything. I am guessing it's to prevent any cases of COVID, which actually...

This. Even if you hate Target, the place is good for seasonal and part time work, and you never know when you might want some extra cash for a place that will rehire you in a heartbeat during the busy season. Although, they have rehired people who have left on horrible terms before too. I know 2...

Yeah, that kind of made me feel good about the position. I could learn the ropes and possibly get additional training. Yeah, it really did. I mean, I felt like I really let my previous team down, and I was always reminded that I was letting the team down which just brought my self esteem to an...

So, as some of you know, I had a poor TL experience at spot. I couldn't meet the expectations of he ETLs and it eventually forced me to resign. I had another interview last week for a supervisor at a sports store. It was originally just for a PT salesfloor TM spot, but when the store manager saw...

How old are you? I used to be 130lbs overweight and did not struggle with the physical labor at all. I did come from warehouses though, so I was/am used to walking, lifting, and rushing all the time. I'm in my early 30s. Our bodies are not always the same though. When I was big, I had joint pain...
