That's fine. I mostly wanted to know what folks wanted to improve their working lives on the job. Instead of complaints about the job, I wanted to see if there were any shared ideas. I get they probably won't happen but... Figured it wouldn't hurt to talk about it..

It's not just Target that's facing this issue. Apparently the average hours for hourly employees is lowering. It's already below 31 hours... Almost as low as it was in 2009

I've recently had an issue at my store with Development which kinda irked me. And made me think that there should be a better way of developing TMs who want to grow in the company. I've expressed interest in growing in the company, and have told all of the ETLs and my STL about how I want to...

I really like that idea. I hope that they add something like that. It would solve a lot of the issues the stores has with communication.

Do you guys think that a better survey system is needed? One that allows you to suggest ideas and state specific problems instead of a scale of 1-5?

Good point. I didn't think about the harassment part. But, I can see what you mean. In general though, I think that mywork2.0 had the potential of being much more than it is. As a Cafe TM, I'm usually pretty isolated. I miss out on huddles every night and morning. Since I rarely get to...

Really? When was that?

So a social media that can maybe be accessed on Zebras? Only you can upload (appropriate) profile pics and customization to each profile? Hell maybe even have a chat system so TMs can ask each other questions or even get to know each other. That would be an awesome resource in my opinion!

The reason explained by my STL and ETL HR was that Branch showed the schedules of other people. This caused issues with people calling in because of someone working, and people showing non-Target employees other TMs schedules. This is an issue. If TMs have restraining orders or have people in...

So true! It seems the only department given more than a week of training time is Starbucks! I struggle with my new TMs when I train them. There's so much they don't quite understand right away. Then it turns into a bunch of corrective action to get them to work things correctly.

Very true. This could be a case of one team member under performing. But since they can't call that specific one out, they instead warned all team members about documentation. Since one of your team mates has been shown the documentation, that team member in particular may be the target. Not...

Yeah I agree, I think that the policies are very unclear and vague for both guests and Team Members. It might even help to have a team member handbook passed out that has all of the policies written out so TMs know what the rules are and how things are handled from the beginning. Also, the...

How much downtime do you have in your shifts? I know that this is not a scare tactic, it is a common practice for documentation. It helps them be able to handle employees who have been there longer than 90 days. Target isn't the only ones who use it, its considered perfectly legal. The issue...

One reason they could be refusing your ability to transfer (which is still a pile of bull in my opinion) is that some stores make more hourly than others. So for instance, my store makes a minimum of $13 per hour, but another store not too far from us makes $12 per hour. If you move to another...

Hey guys! I'm a HR major, graduating next semester. I want to know what things Target can make to make our lives easier? I'm talking changes to the survey systems. Official online support groups. Development systems for promising team members. Even technological things like being able to...

Hey guys wondering what y'all think about this video: Mega couponer bothering team members.

I will say, after looking at the numbers, our cafe sales are up 43% after all the other cafes in the area closed. We're actually turning a profit now. Not much of one but... Still a profit!

I checked and it's outta stock. And besides... Why does someone want their shit to light up???

TTOTM: You showed so much promise. I really enjoyed getting to know you over the couple years you were here. You did a great job in Cafe and were amazing in Starbucks. But something happened. You're only 17 but the drinking already consumed you. It changed you and your attitude. The...

TTOG: My lights were off, Cafe closes at 8 PM. My hotcase is off, my food has expired for the evening. I need to toss it. You come in, and want my food. I can't give my food to you. It's expired. I can get fired for serving it. You tell your son the "white girl" won't let him eat. You...
