    Archived Working off the clock

    I’m an hourly TL and for the past year or so, I have been constantly working off the clock. My STL refuses to stop contacting me when I’m not at work. She is always calling me, texting me, begging me to come in, etc. I’m always answering questions about workload, VMGs, team members, and the best...

    Archived Team Leader Pay

    With the team leaders getting paid $15/hr in the near future, what will happen with the team leader pay? My store is saying that the team leaders are to step it up and be doing the work of an ETL, and if that’s the case, I’m not doing 3x the work of say...a cart attendant...and making about a...

    Archived Who creates the VMGs/POGs?

    Curious to know who writes the VMGs and POGs. Definitely seems like something I would be interested in doing. I asked my ETLs and they don’t really know anything about it.

    Archived Solo Amplified Gifiting

    Has anyone else been giving the task of setting Amplified Gifting by themselves? This is the 2nd year I’ve been given essentially no help. One day I had one person who pushed one flat of product. But that’s it. I’m panicking over how I’m going to get this done.

    Archived What constitutes working off the clock?

    I’m currently doing the jobs of two team leaders. Visual Merchandising and Softlines. I didn’t ask for it, but it’s what my store needs. That being said, I am CONSTANTLY being called, texted, emailed, etc. while I’m off the clock. There are also some days where I have to clock out to avoid...

    Archived Funeral Pay

    My husband’s grandmother passed away on subday. When I got back to work on Monday, I was talking to one of our ETLs said I need to look into bereavement pay. He said another TL had gotten it when his wife’s grandfather passed. How does that work? How do I put in for the time off?

    Archived Is this just my store?

    This is what happened to our store today. Our PMT has moved to HR. Our hardlines team lead is now the property manager. So we needed to figure out who will run hardlines. We cant hire anymore team leads because we’re at head count for TLs. Today, our STL announced in our meeting that the...

    Changes for VMs

    My HR said she heard Target was about to make some changes to the VM role. One of those changes being ways that VMs can move up in the company? Has anyone else heard this information or anything new about visual merchandisers at Target. I would love to see some changes!

    Archived Cosmetics Leader

    I’ve now been dubbed the leader of cosmetics for my store. Yay? I’m needing some ideas on how you guys train your team and how you have them learn all of the things they’re supposed to know. With my softlines team, I have a notebook that I update weekly. It includes quizzes, styling...

    Archived VM Struggles

    I’ve been struggling a lot with my position at Target. Mainly the level of respect I don’t get. The entire team treats me like I’m a garbage can. I even had a team member smack me. Like physically hit me. My ETLs and TLs make it a point to let me know that I’m “technically” still a leader in...

    Archived Holiday Pay

    Do we get hours added to our heck’s if we DONT work on a holiday? I was told by a team member that I would have hours added to my check on New Year’s Day, even though I won’t be working that day (they actually gave me vacation omg) I’m just curious because that doesn’t sound right to me

    Archived Amplified Gifiting: Take two

    Is it just me or is this set worse than the first one? My stl decided that ship from store was the only thing that mattered to our store, therefore wouldn’t let me have a team or start on amplified gifting until yesterday. I tried to start on Saturday, but was told to wait. Now it’s Thursday and...

    Archived Average day for vml

    If you’re a VM, what does your every day look like? Do you work mostly in hardlines or softlines? How do team members treat you? Especially now since we are “team leaders”. Do you have a set schedule that never changes? What times do you usually work? I’m curious as I feel like my experience...

    Archived Amplified Gifitng Set

    I set amplified gifting today in my store (the vmg said not to but my leaders never go by the rules.) I was just wondering if anyone had set theirs yet and what that process looked like. How many people help? How long did it take? I was completely on my own with setting it until an hour until I...

    Archived No More VMTL?

    I was pulled into the office today and told that my position as a vmtl is no more. I’m now a visual merchandising team member. Had this happened to anyone else?

    Archived Team Lead Payroll Cut???

    I'm fairly new to target and to be honest, it has been a NIGHTMARE. I could go on and on about my experiences but I'll just stick to this one for now. I was 1 hour away from clocking in (almost leaving my house and driving to work) when the HR at my store called me and said they needed to cut...
