1) The company wants everyone under 32 hours as possible so they don't have to pony up the money for health insurance for those people. 2) The target hack cost them, and is going to cost them a ton of money both legally and due to diminished consumer trust. 3) Q4 sales were terrible. 4) No...

We don't know yet, but I would not be surprised if Target is found at fault for being hacked in the sense that they did not ensure do diligence to secure their POS systems from being compromised. Your typical POS machine is running an outdated version of Windows XP, and the majority of PCs in...

No one can really comment on if you should of/should not of been fired since no one here has any clue on what actually transpired. Assuming management is in the wrong here, document as much as you can about the incidents, try and get written+signed statements of what your co-workers witnessed...

If I wanted to start a Union at my store, how would one go about doing so? People in my area are having meltdowns over the absolute disaster of FSA/HSA's replacing actual health insurance, and there's a good chance most TMs would be for creating a Union at this point.

This is borderline tinfoil hat stuff, but I have to wonder if the recent staffing cuts were done not just to reduce bottom line expenses, but also to give stores a reason to performance out staff that have been with the company for 5+ years; all because 'experienced employees w/ raises cost too...

Having balls means doing the right thing even when everyone above you is pressuring you to do the wrong thing. I'm not going to compromise my integrity as a human ****ing being because some corporate ****lord threatens me with dismissal for not turning myself into a debt peddler. No, I have no...

Yes. Because you are nothing but a corporate shrill. A husk of a person and nothing more. Never mind the fact that the interest rates on these things are in the clouds, is not overtly disclosed, and that hucking these things is essentially putting a lot of people who don't fully understand the...

I really can't blame anyone for calling out. For a job where most people are not even breaking $12k/year, there's no point in having any loyalty. Most of the jobs in the store are mindless toil in the presence of what equates to middle school bullies, adult children crying about not getting...

We had a few good ETLs that were good people. Good in the sense that they would take time out of their day to talk to team members about their lives, how they were doing, planning for their future, etc. Usually this was with them working along side TMs. Some were even willing to learn Starbucks...

Target's strategic plan for the past few years has been to cut hours to the bone to increase profit; all because corporate has no clue at all how to increase profit in any other way. Employees and employee benefits are all seen as 'costs' that must be 'reduced'. This is a general trend many...

Look for a better job, and get as far as possible away from this company. Target does not reward a strong work ethic; it exploits it. If you go the extra mile, target management will hold you to that baseline level of performance. You will never see a promotion, you will never see a substantial...

Said ETL is a moron and will never go farther in life than that position or a position that is equivalent at another company. All an ETL is, is an assistant store manager. Yes, assistant manager. I really do not understand why 'executive' is even in the title other than to instill fear into...

A cup of coffee. There isn't enough time to eat a decent meal, and Target really doesn't pay enough for luxuries such as 'lunch' anyways.

The company is full of nothing but post-college frat/sorority type ****. It's a great way to keep complacency since everyone is too busy backstabbing each other over $0.30 raises instead of organizing together for better wages/working conditions in general. Whatever. I prefer having no...

I'm a grad student, and I'm just an hourly piece of trash. I just keep my mouth shut and let the TLs/ETLs run their power trips. Outside of the target fiefdom, they control nothing.

We should at least get paid a livable wage to do it.

They most likely monitor for things like "HEY IM STARTING A UNION AT STORE #XXXX" or to eliminate any decent created by a person that doesn't hide their identity well enough.

Better idea: Press k8 at every prompt and move on. Or let the guest know about the awesome 31% APR (or whatever the hell it is now) on the card if they don't pay it off. The fact is, a significant amount of the US population does not understand the concept of credit and interest rates. Target...

Here's how it works. The computer generates a schedule based on a bunch of arbitrary statistics like availability, speed scores, how much revenue you bring in per shift, etc. . The program that does this sucks; it will sometimes go as far as assigning people to work in workcenters that they are...
