    Archived Straight Outta Target

    I plan to. While I'll quickly lose touch with store processes, the off topic is active enough to hold my interest.

    Archived Straight Outta Target

    Target has been a second job for me for a long time. I haven't needed the money for the past couple of years but I hung around due to the fact that it's nice to be around some people relatively close to my age (at my main job, I'm the youngest by ~20 years) and the discount was great for my...

    Archived Org chart changes mean cuts in ETL and TL positions

    On a good note, 10 years with ETL experience can mean a shoe in at any other retailer.

    Archived Seasonal Employee Wanting to Quit

    Holy shit, I remember Cube! That was a pretty cool flick. The sequel kinda sucked though.

    Archived Terminated

    Was your 6 years in active duty? If so, get back in school and get that sweet sweet GI Bill money. 100% tuition and books reimbursement + E5 BAH is not something to be passed up. If your medical injuries were sustained during duty, push for disability status and get some cash. Target has...

    Archived Time with Target is ending, while my future begins

    Congrats on getting out. Fair warning though: If you think the bs at Target is ridiculous, it doesn't even remotely compare to the military; especially as it transitions to a peace-time setting as Afghanistan winds down. Oh and if you go to boot/MOS school in Ft. Sill, I am so sorry. There...

    Hours not working out

    Never burn bridges anywhere. No matter how much the job may suck, you never know if life is going to force you back into it. When I had quit Target, I had no plans to ever set foot in retail again. Life worked out differently and keeping a good relationship with the staff allowed me to glide...
