    Archived one step closer to unionizing?

    Would this mean Walmart is one step closet to losing its influence against employees' unions? http://www.latimes.com/business/money/la-fi-mo-nlrb-walmart-20131119,0,1499317.story It may be some companies’ worst nightmare: the National Labor Relations Board, which is fully functioning...

    Archived calling out.for.health reasons

    I have recently been diagnosed with lupus. Because of this, it has become more difficult walk and lift items. It is mainly severe arthritis-like conditions in my feet, ankles, and hands, along with difficulty breathing after the amount of exertion itbrequires just to walk. Often, I have to...

    Archived how's.your store's.morale?

    Apparently, mine is pretty bad. Between the Team Survey and the HR chat sessions, ours is so bad that our DM (whatever) will be talking to our store employees individually. Even our AP lead is sensing that few of us want to be at work. How's yours going?

    Archived Biometrics exam

    We are having our store-wide biometrics exam tomorrow. I signed up for it, knowing I have some massive health issues, expecting to not have acquired insurance for blood testing by now. What all do they test at these things? And does this help trigger the $50 of gift cards Target talks about on...

    Archived sales floor on light duty?

    I have been diagnosed with severe arthritis and inflamed lungs, and even working in electronics has become a nightmare. I can barely lift anything over about 10-15 pounds. Working on bottom shelves leaves me winded. By the end of the night, I can barely walk. If I am put on "light duty" by my...

    Archived availability=suggestion?

    What is the point of filling out an availability sheet if your supervisor ignores it? After the holidays, I rolled back to the "insane" hours of 2-10 PM Monday-Saturday. Apparently, for Electronics, that doesn't work out, as almost every week I am scheduled against my availability in one shape...

    Archived hardship loan?

    I can't remmber if it was here or in the handbook that I saw about a hardship benefit. After racking up $3000 in medical bills and some more on the way, obviously my paychecks aren't working. How do I go about applying for one of these?

    Archived annual review results?

    I recieved my annual review today. Scored an IE. It wasn't explained to me until later by HR that it only covered November and December, what I worked last year. I was told that most holiday hires get IEs because they are new. I was confused how I recieved an IE for availability, as I am...

    Archived hours budget

    How common is it for even a ULV store to have 3-4 closers on average? It seems to everyone at my store that we are trying to be a model store by staying far under our labor budget. However, it also severely impairs our ability to finish our work on time. It is not uncommon for us to go two days...

    Archived Does Target train at all or is it just my.store?

    When I got hired in Electronics right before Black Thursday, I figured that training would have been a bit delayed. But it never really came. Another Electronics associate showed me around the floor, that was effectively the extent of it. I was selling ESPs incorrectly until January, when some...
