Last night I came in for my closing shift and couldn't clock in because the time clock was gone. As in, not even on the wall anymore. Instead, there was an LCD screen with a bar code scanner. So then our ETL-HR came out of her office and told me she had to give me something, which turned...

This morning I was approached by our STL who told me that one our of sales floor TLs (who he wouldn't name) is going to be gone soon. (I suspect it is going to be our electronics TL though based on rumors I heard....) He told me that he has been impressed with me and that I "run circles"...

So this morning I was setting planograms (no, not end caps, actual freaking aisles) with another TM for half the day. This guy was hired by Target right after he lost his job when his previous employer went out of business.... his previous employer was circuit city. He had worked for them 5...

is a lot like calling 911 when Burger King makes you the wrong hamburger. I think it is time that a serious discussion goes on regarding what the integrity hotline is - and is not - for. I was around the 1980's when Target first rolled out the hotline. Back then, it was made clear that the...

So we have a new TM (who I think is about 30 years old) that I spent the morning training in electronics. I seriously think the guy may be paranoid delusional/schizo. As soon as I met the guy I kind of got the feeling he was kind of off, but whatever. No big deal. Everyone has something a...

The below quoted post is a response to a post I made in another thread about being coached for trying to "vibe" and do something "amazing" to help a guest. It was a good faith attempt to help the guest by going above and beyond, with no ill intent on my part. The result? I got coached. This...

Ok, so tonight I was working electronics. Guy buys a phone. After I check him out, he asks if I know how to unlock phones. As it turns out, I do, and I happen to know of a good website with instructions that cover most phones. I think to myself "no big deal. I'll provide some good guest...

If there is one thing I cannot stand, it is stupidity. This morning I was working electronics. Guest comes up with an ink cartridge and wants to buy it. No problem. As I start checking him out he says "I really have a problem with your company". So I say "I'm sorry to hear that. Is...

Out of curiosity, what would happen to a TL (who was angry) who walked up behind a TM, said "move", and used both hands to push him out of the way, so much so that the TM almost fell over?

Is it just my store, or are huddles full of idiocy and power trips at everyone else's store also? If it isn't a TM trying to act like they have power because an ETL told them to "run the huddle", it is usually something said that is totally stupid. Last night we had a huddle and I have to say...

Imagine my surprise this morning when I came into work only to be greeted by our ETL-HR telling me she needed to speak with me immediately. I walk into her office to be greeted by her and our STL ready to fire my ass. So, they told me that "a team member" told them that I told him that I...

Has anyone else heard this? Today at work our clerical TM told me she overheard our ETL-HR talking. Apparently she said that because ETL turnover has gotten so high in the company, they are now going to offer $60,000 annual salary to all new external ETLs. If this is true, it is...

I thought this might be an interesting poll since I haven't really seen this ever discussed. We all know that different stores have totally different cultures in terms of leadership, rules, etc. But, what is your store like for diversity? (i.e. race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.)

I have to admit, when I first started working at my store I felt the ETLs were generally pretty evil. Just bitter and hateful to TMs at all times. Now, however, I am really starting to feel bad for them. Our STL basically rules them like a king. I was walking by the ETL offices today...

I am wondering if this is something I should report to AP. Last night was a typical closing shift. ETL-GE was LOD. We ended up having to stay only about 20 mins after close, and the ETL-GE was telling TMs they could leave as their departments were finished. (which is weird, because normally...

I have seen so many posts recently forecasting imminent doom for the company because of hours cuts, etc. Sure, it makes us feel good to think the company is going to go under because they are screwing TMs..... but guys, let's get real ok? Target is not even close to going out of business...

I really wish I was at my old store. I've been at this one long enough to feel everyone out now. I'm not exactly the most upbeat TM, but 90% of the TMs at my store have absolutely miserable personalities. I've already learned not to make eye contact with most flow TMs. Half of them walk...

Can someone tell me what the deductible for the HSA account is for a single person? I could have sworn that I read somewhere on some form that it was several thousand dollars. I want to say like $5000 or $6000. I have no idea where I saw that though, or if I am even remembering correctly...

Back only a few days and already there is an ETL I can't stand. She constantly is making comments designed to remind everyone how great she is masked as "jokes". I have already heard her randomly say "I have a chemistry degree and I'm working retail hahaaha" about 4 times. I've had to...

I got my call for orientation. I go in tomorrow. Apparently HR has not hired many people recently, so I will be having orientation by myself lol. She said she wants to do it "quickly" since I already will be familiar with everything. Weird feeling. Never though I would be back in red and...
