    Any way to get out of cashier shift for Black Friday?

    I'm a beauty team member, and they have me scheduled as a cashier for 8 hours on Black Friday. Of course I'll put the shift up on the board and ask people, however most everyone is already working that day. And yes I've already talked to HR and he said that's just my shift and my...

    Anyone else feeling overworked?

    All of a sudden, I'm getting 38 hours a week after I've told them I want to work 30 max since I'm taking classes and I do freelancing on the side as well. Now they just assume I'll be there pretty much 40 hours a week after I spend YEARS trying to negotiate for a consistent schedule in the past...

    Is anyone else's beauty team struggling?

    Our beauty team has always had 4-5 people on staff year round, now all of a sudden we are literally down to only 2 people who are both working max hours. We are always behind on truck and sfs constantly has to dig through our repacks to find stuff for their orders. On top of that, our leader...

    Should I call in?

    I'm scheduled for cart cleaning on Saturday morning. However, I recently enrolled in a summer certification course, and one of the classes is on Saturday mornings. I was able to adjust my availability from the 2 week out and on, but this Saturday I am still scheduled. But I am also scheduled to...

    How bad is your workload and backup?

    Beauty TM here. The past several weeks have just been ridiculous. We're down to 2 beauty team members, myself and another. I've asked and I was told today by the hiring exec that we will not be getting any more for beauty any time soon. I was told, "Everyone is struggling." Meanwhile we have a...

    COVID-19 New Cleaning Protocol

    Starting on the 1st, were supposed to have a new cleaning protocol that involves (from what I was told) only 1 cleaning person who comes in at 7am to clean the store. Then clean carts one by one as guests enter. Before, we were cleaning carts right after each guest was leaving and helping out...

    COVID-19 Mask Patrol

    My county has a mask mandate and as a person who was shifted from Beauty to Cart Wipe duties, I have had the privilege of being on mask patrol for the last few weeks. Oh what fun that has been! Ive been laughed at, flipped off, ignored and then accused of chasing someone, argued with, lied to...

    Store cleaner being used as cashier

    Beauty TM here who has been shifted over to cleaning shifts and cart wipe since COVID. I was never asked whether or not I wanted to clean. I was never informed that this is how things are changing it might be for good from now on. I literally walked in to find myself taken off beauty team...

    What do you think will happen when we go to $15 an hour?

    Do you think it will be for better or worse? I fear expectations will go up as hours will go down.

    Was I right to assume this?

    I’m a beauty TM who usually works mornings. A couple weeks ago I noticed something strange happened with the morning HBA team members. Usually they come in staggered: one at 9am, then another at 10, and another at 11. One Friday morning a couple weeks ago, they come in as usual and were all 3...

    Is it true you can’t go on LOA if you have another job?

    Someone in my store is leaving. She said she was planning a LOA anyway but has since been offered a new job. She told me today that she can’t go on LOA since she got the new job because it’s against the rules. In fact she said, “I guess it’s Target policy you’re can’t take LOA if you have...

    Would it be rude to take all my vacation time before quitting?

    I'm really planning for this to be my last year with Target, so I'm thinking about my exit strategy. I have 100 vacation hours saved up currently. I want to make sure I take all of them at the same time shortly before I quit because I earned that time. But I want to do it gracefully. Having...

    Can a beauty team member vent here?

    Guys. This holiday season in beauty has just about sent me over. Does anyone else think that the push for branding Beauty as a specialty goes overboard? As a very introverted Beauty team member for three years, the changes made are making me increasingly uncomfortable as they are pushy about...

    Archived Beauty Behind On Truck

    I’m a Beauty TM and lately we’ve had an issue not getting our truck done in one day. It will spill over into the next day and sometimes we’ll get behind for a few days until we have a no truck day to catch up. Our truck load in Beauty usually consists of 8-15 repacks (on average but sometimes...

    Archived Should I ask for a raise?

    I'm a TM and just hit my 10 year anniversary as a store Team Member. Right now I'm a Beauty Team Member but I've had experience in soft lines, hard lines, market, back room, cashier, new team member training, and flow team. It still really bothers me that I'm making about the same as the new...

    Archived Promotions and false promises

    I've worked at two different Target stores and witnessed the same thing in both: They'll use good TMs and lead them on about giving them a promotion as just a way to get them to do a bunch of extra work for no extra pay. I've seen it happen with several people now. They'll pick a TM who is a...

    Archived Beauty Expectations

    It seems like every couple of weeks, our district leader will come in and add something new to what they want us to do every every day for Beauty team. Does this happen with anyone else? First they told us they expected us to go for backup and cart parties. Then they wanted us to focus more on...

    Archived How to use PH hours?

    My latest pay stub says I have 78 Vac Hours and 10.5 PH hours. How do I use PH hours? My hr rep said it's the same as vac hours but if it was then why would it be called something different? Also, a seasoned TM told me I could use Vac hours to help with my hours being cut recently. Is that...

    Archived Beauty TM Expectations

    I've been a Beauty TM since they started doing End To End. I mostly work in the mornings on truck days and push all the Beauty freight which was a decent transition since I came from Flow originally. At first things were going okay since most of the TLs and TMs left me alone to focus on pushing...
