    Mandatory OT next week, flexing everyday this week???

    Mandatory OT isn't a thing for grade 35 store TMs, though at times it may be for grade 45 store TLs. For ETLs, of course, there's no such thing as OT as they are classified as exempt employees. I can see why it's extremely irritating to have last-minute schedule changes. Your life includes...

    Inflation Hourly Wage Increase

    Correct. If you want cost-of-living adjustments, you need to get a public sector civil service job. Sometimes if you are in a private-sector union job, cost-of-living increases are negotiated into the contract. Since Target isn't unionized - and never ever will be - and it's not public...

    Target refusing to add suffix

    The inability to include a middle name or a suffix is really stupid. For many people with common names, this is a real PIA. Think of John Smith, Mary Jones, Jim Jones, Sue Brown. Are the people who run Workday truly that stupid that they cannot accommodate full legal names, or is this in fact...

    FY 2023 Annual Pay and Performance - Team Members (PG35/38)

    Target as a company will not ever, ever allow this to happen, but this is the kind of thing where collective bargaining would bring better compensation. Public sector employees including teachers have benefited enormously from collective bargaining, as have those in private sector industries...

    Target Credit Union

    It's pretty good.

    $1.00 extra from 10/22/2023 to 01/06/2024

    No seasonal premium pay at our store.

    Holiday Pay

    Revisiting this, it is strange that most TMs only get paid for two holidays per year. Period. "Premium Pay" is not a "paid holiday".

    Holiday Pay

    What gets really confusing is the difference between "Holiday Pay" (in non-retail jobs, a literal paid day off from work) and "Holiday Premium Pay", an incentive pay issued to retail workers who work on a recognized holiday. I do not know if Memorial Day is a "recognized" holiday at Target, I...

    Merit Raises & Reviews: 2023 Edition

    To be honest, at this point I literally am praying for strength and success in finding a different job and employer. Fortunately, I don't think all that much about working at Target after hours. When I do worry about it, it's because in reality my paycheck isn't adequate. My spouse and I can...

    401k loan

    Mods, can this be added to a Sticky Topic combining the 401k questions?

    401k loans + repayment

    Mods, this should be a sticky topic. The same questions are asked over and over again, having it as a sticky will be more helpful for those with the same common questions. Side note: Friends Don't Let Friends Borrow Against Their 401k - The Laws of Unintended Consequences

    Merit Raises & Reviews: 2023 Edition

    But that's the problem: there's plenty of high-school and college students willing to work at Target for the current base wage ($17.75 hour in our area). Bumping the base raise is a nasty kick in the ass to existing TMs who know how to perform their jobs, know the things to be careful about...

    Merit Raises & Reviews: 2023 Edition

    So basically, nobody here actually earned a "raise" in pay. Inflation has been upwards of 7% from a year prior. Target's prices have increased at least that much, though I think Target is trying to avoid hiking prices as they want to grab market share from competitors during an uncertain...

    No set schedules again?

    Yes. You do retain your current benefits until the next open-enrollment cycle, even if you are cut below 25 hrs/wk. But two problems come out of this. The first which you mentioned is that with fewer hours, the benefits deductions swallow up a higher percentage of your paycheck so your...

    Merit Raises & Reviews: 2023 Edition

    Target's annual performance review process - and the crappy pay raises - are ROTTEN. Best for you to get a job somewhere else, Target as a company doesn't give a rat's-ass about retaining you unless you are desperate.

    Benefits 401k loan

    This thread should be a sticky and combined with other threads about the Target 401k. The same questions keep coming up over and over. It's an important topic but keeping them in one thread will make it easier for someone to get the info they need.

    401k loans + repayment

    This needs to be a sticky topic. It keeps coming up over and over.

    What are my options with 401K after leaving?

    This needs to be a sticky topic, maybe combined with other threads on this exact topic. It keeps coming up over and over and over.

    Target switching to BCBS for health insurance.

    Nothing received about the switch to BCBS. Grade 35s in our store are not allowed e-mail access.
