Target uses Vanguard. You could just roll it into a Vanguard IRA or Roth IRA (assuming you already converted to a Roth) with no penalty. Same stuff, you would be self managing it and self contributing.

Thanks! I agree with this assessment totally. I'm also trying! Appreciate the kind words too.

I wish you success and happiness in your future endeavors. Know that Target will survive without you, it's built into their system. I hope this next step is rewarding on several fronts that Target could never provide.

That is a possible reality. Taking on a new job has its inherent risks and obvious differences from what I'm used to. That's why I've started this thread. I know my mental bias right now is based solely on how I focus for working at Target. I'm sure wherever I end up, I'll see things from a...

Oh, the hope is real. I want to leave post-haste! I'm just pondering how other's felt AFTER they've left. What sort of relief or dread or whatever followed after they stepped out of Target on their last day to begin their lives again. That's how I view my time at Target, a long hiatus from life...

Cult... I could definitely see that. However, I'm not dreading FOMO when that time comes. I will miss the constant activity that Target provides though (I lost 50lbs over the last 5 years). But, where Target enriches me physically, it drains me mentally and emotionally. I'm happy that you've...

I'm just looking for more "it gets better"/ "this too will pass" sorta feedback that comes with removing the red and khaki shackles. I'm probably being a bit hyperbolic, but some days the daily Target slog just feels like the lowest point for me. I want to leave and I know I have to leave, but I...

I liken it to Stockholm's Syndrome. Or akin to being in an abusive relationship. You know you need to get out, but you can't or won't for a completely irrational reason.

Still at Target. For now.

For those TMs that were promoted to guest (either voluntarily or not), can you shed some light into how you changed after Target? Was there any profound differences in your mental, emotional or physical person?

Powertrips and egos. Can I CCA a TL for either of those. <sadface>

Update: I ended receiving a final notice for this. It was reported to corporate by the irritated TL and at that point became unchallengeable. So now I have this on my head. I swear, more than likely most infraction against me are by TLs either having a shitty day and take it out on me or are...

Thanks! The crazy thing, most teams are likely 4 people, which is 160 hours of full time. But we'll have weeks that are easily 200-300 hours. Granted it won't take 200-300 hours to set, but the break down of labor isn't expressed within the adjacency calendar, only that some pogs will take...

Btw @HRZone I do appreciate you answering all these posts and providing the actual policy information. The rules in place are there for our benefit, even if it seems to be counterproductive or even conflicting with how management appears to run things. I might seem like a crazy person to some...

Oh I definitely don't set the unrealistic goals thrust upon us. I'd be more than happy to do less. But being that the scenario at my store is less than ideal, it falls to me to pick up some of the slack or suffer as the workload backlogs into a pile worse than the current situation. I see it...

Well, yeah... I'm doing my best to take my breaks. But, sometimes the workload determines how much of a respite it would be take that break. I'd rather work through them at a relaxed pace, than take it and feel hurried the rest of the shift. Next week will be a week, that I'll want a break but...

That's a good question... I know the STL at our store constantly texts ALL the TLs daily. I guess the STL is exempt from "working off the clock" considering they're one of the few salaried positions at the store level... but Sr. TL and down are hourly employees and therefore would fall under the...

Curious what the policy is on skipping 15's is? And if it's considered working off the clock if you skip them. Also related: I was recently talked to for logging into Workbench before clocking in (usually to print reports knowing how busy the printer is first thing in the morning). I...

Valid points. My interest is more in updating my information and realigning myself to be more visible. I've had little to no response in my attempts and am looking to find someone with more background to help explain and then show me where improvements can be made. I understand that the career...

Looking for information on finding career counseling/coaching. If anyone has had experience with this, please share what you did to get it, what you experienced and if you think it's worth the time and money. I'm hoping to get my resume and other resources up-to-date and get the hell out of...
