    Everything Comes to an End

    You miss something that no longer exists at spot. Integrity, fast fun friendly, clean stores etc. Of course you miss the contacts you made. The reality is the Target you remember fondly is gone forever. There are other places that still value their team, integrity and honesty. Look forward...

    Please talk me OUT of quitting

    Everyone should always keep their resume "warm". Even if you are happy as a pig in slop you should always have it ready. My dad always told me to update it at least twice a year. Not because you were planning on leaving but it was a way for you to see your worth as an employee. When you remind...

    Greener Pastures Post Spot?

    Best decision i have made in my working life. So many people are afraid to leave Spot because they have been beaten down and no longer think they can make it somewhere else. i just had a 4 day Thanksgiving weekend and am looking forward to the week between Christmas and New Years off. For over...

    Is it bad to leave in December?

    You do not "owe" Target anything, Not two weeks, not your firstborn. 2 weeks is a courtesy. Nothing more, nothing less. Why do people feel so beholden to this company? They would eliminate you in a heartbeat if they needed to.

    Archived What to do with the closetful of red shirts?

    I know most peoples first thought is burn those suckers. I know I took mine to Goodwill the next day (4 comforter boxes worth) I found another 2 boxes later and gave them to my friends who still work at T. Most of them couldn't afford new shirts and some freebies came in handy. Just remember the...

    Archived 401(k) questions

    Jazz Paws! I went to my bank and their financial advisor helped me answer my questions concerning taxes and early withdrawal penalties. They answered all the questions I had. I decided to take it out of Target and roll it into a new retirement fund. No penalties for doing that and no tax...

    Archived Quitting Due to Modernization

    Don't forget Tms and TLs that are currently the highest paid. Get rid of the TLs that are at $24 and up. Spot thinks that the experience factor is no longer relevant. They can train someone new to do the same thing for much less money even with the wage increase. I have said that my former store...

    Archived Quitting Due to Modernization

    Maybe or An ETL simply doesn't like them- Some of these leaders are straight out of Mean Girls They don't have the Target"look"- old or overweight? They ask questions- Target leaders HATE being challenged The STL pencil whipped the schedule- Most STLs HATE doing the schedule. (STLs are suppose...

    Archived Comments on Kohl’s please.

    If you are seriously considering Kohls, do NOT burn your bridges at Target. As cut throat as Spot is, their processes (even modernization) is much more efficient and sensible. You may have a different experience. But all of the people I know that left the bullseye to go to K, were back within 6...

    Archived 2 weeks or up and leave?

    two weeks notice at my old store HR will no longer speak or look at you. Its an ongoing joke STL will totally ignore you ETLS will say, "why don't you just leave now" Suddenly every decision or thing you do will be second guessed. I watched this happen to 2 Hardlines TLs, Starbucks TL...

    Archived Head up, shoulders back, integrity restored

    I did find another job. Funny thing is as much as I miss most of the people I worked with I Target, I keep in touch with them too. I am so sad when I hear whats going on in this store though. I believe in change, if you don't change and adapt in retail you will no longer exist. However I don't...

    Archived Head up, shoulders back, integrity restored

    Nope. The ability to retire is now up to the store I found out after a phone call to TMSC. There is no longer a rule of how much notice you need to give. But you must leave in good standing. Good standing is to interpreted by your stores HR. The HR at the store I was at is a real piece of work...

    Archived Head up, shoulders back, integrity restored

    Today was the day for me. After 20 years and 2 months, I left a job that I love and am good at. I did not give notice and I don't feel bad about that at all. I have been struggling with the way my store has decided to treat team members and my position in the store. I can no longer be a willing...

    Archived Org chart changes mean cuts in ETL and TL positions

    Bottom line, Target is a business. An ETL with 10 years of experience is more expensive than a new ETL. There is no job security and in turn there is no loyalty. I have seen many quality ETLs performanced managed out for bogus reasons. Its not new and it won't end. Can you imagine the...
