The department of Labor regulates retirement plans and most of the regulations relevant to this discussion come from the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). That ultimately has set regulation on vesting rules for employer sponsored retirement programs including 401ks and...

Anything you contribute to an employer sponsored retirement plan is always 100% vested immediately as it's your money. The vesting schedule only pertains to employer contributions.

Currently work as a seasonal assistant on the Front End myself. Virtually every part of compensation is significantly better than what you'd find at spot or any other retailer for that matter. Starting pay, while $2/hr higher, pales in comparison to some of the other benefits. The major perk...

Target Ticket: the infamous Netflix rip-off

Not at Target of course because of reasons. But I have found my way back to the retail industry via retail's holy grail: Costco Wholesale. Anywhoo, I never did post very frequently but if you remember me, I worked at spot for 3 and a half years then went to Kroger, then did some collegy stuff...

Be sure to double-check lunch breaks. I had a few instances (granted they were 8 years ago so the schedule system may be different) where my schedule showed 40+ hours because it didn't account for unpaid lunches.

Back in my GSA days I had my own mail slot for some reason. Right before I quit doing that terrible job I took the store lablemaker and replaced "Guest Service Attendant" with "ETL-Cart Experience" Those were the days.

Perhaps you didn't mean it that way but that's how I interpreted that particular quote of yours. As an economist (among other things) I tend to deal with how things are rather than how they should be. One of the first rules of economics is that individuals respond to incentives. Should everyone...

Here's the thing about that... It doesn't matter that you decided to work for Target. It doesn't matter what you "signed up for" It doesn't matter what you "agreed to" The only thing that matters is what Target chooses to allow. If Target hires someone and has them sign some piece of paper...

Guest. (Not Attending)

20) Rather than acknowledge/resolve legitimate complaints and strive to create a productive work environment, they just get butthurt and tell you to get a different job if you aren't happy.

Really?? No way! I've never really thought of my state as one that would have special laws like that. Usually we're quite the opposite. Thanks for the info! :)

For the longest time I didn't know you could cash out gift cards that were $5 or less. Custo-excuse me, guests would ask me to cash out gift cards that had, like, 72 cents and I'd be like "NO! we can't do that, tf you think this is?" Problem was, half the store (including management) also...

I heard they were going to partner with NASA and invest hundreds of trillions of dollars to slow the Earth's rotation to 72 hours instead of the traditional 24. Y'know, so they can increase sales projections by a few thousand. Don't quote me though.

If you don't care for math or don't quite feel like reading the whole thing, at least take a look at the last few sentences in bold for tl;dr ;) I'm really struggling to determine how these figures were derived. Regardless of the method used (Mean,median,etc.) the numbers just don't add up. The...

When I stopped being GSA and moved to cart attendant temporarily I got a bunch of TMs to refer to me as Executive Team Lead-Cart Experience. I even used the label maker to print that out and it was on my mailbox until irrelevant people got butthurt about it and ripped it off. I will say, I was...

I can't remember if it was my district or another one close to me but I know some ETLs got together and bought a bike from, like, 10 different stores and then returned them all to 1 specific store so that 1 store had 11 $500 bikes on hand. Good Times...

Worst: The whole 4 year degree requirement for ETLs. (slightly more than 5 years ago) Best: N/A

Didn't that piss you off?? Every single ETL and srTL I worked with couldn't shut the fuck up about how lucky we all were to have jobs and would constantly make condescending remarks to those thinking about leaving on the lines of "you really think you'll just be able to find another job just...

because I hate Target.
