sick

Hi all, I’ve been on LOA and today is my 3rd shift back so I am unsure of a lot of the new covid rules. My son woke up coughing (no fever thank goodness) and is congested. I’m unsure on the policy for if a family member shows symptoms and us going in. Will they make me stay off for 14 days...

During the height of the pandemic, those of us working during the crisis were called "heroes". Retail companies ran ads on television, the Internet and billboards applauding front-line retail workers as "heroes" for running the risk of catching COVID-19 from the public. So let's talk turkey...

I am in a state where mask wearing is mandatory. This past week is also the first time it's been warm outside. I typically think it's warm in our store in the summer but it has been unbearable with the mask on. I find myself taking it off to breathe and being less productive as I can't...

Good Morning team, I would like to start this off by saying that I've enjoyed 5 years here at Target, and have been a team leader for 4. Like all of you Im sure, Covid 19 has turned everything upside down in my store. I am in Pa, and our store is located in a red county with continued rise in...

so what is everyone doing to keep themselves from catching COVID-19? im just washing my hands every chance i get and stay away from everyone as much as i can

Okay so our Store director called me about this team member having a CoVid19, she said she came to work Wednesday, tested thursday and confirmed Friday. She said they reviewed the camera and sanitized all the area she/he was touching. And she said make sure u wear your mask and gloves and wash...

I’ve heard that some target stores have closed off their non essential areas which Is great. I personally think it’s ridiculous to still have style team members (or other non essentials like toys/electronics) and expose people to the virus unnecessarily. In the stores that closed off...

We recently had a confirmed case in the warehouse and they refuse to tell us what key or department the team member was in. The only measure taken was to have e&f clean... if your e&f is anything like ours, I'm sorry.

So! Late last week we were told that GM, Softlines, and market will be going overnight so there would be minimal team members on the floor during the day. Now the reasoning was kinda wish washy but it’s probably because of the pandemic. Now a few TM’s are convinced that this move is permanent...

Leading up to those 9+ hour days to pick up that slack. How is your DC in these times?

If you have masks available, how many would you say (percentage wise) are wearing masks at work? At my store, I’d say 30% overall. Maybe more than half of cashier/front end workers. And currently no ETLs are wearing masks at my store. That seems weird to me, that none of them choose to wear...

I was wondering if Target has or will lift the vacation accrual limit at least for awhile during this challenging time. My store needs help. They are asking all of us to work up to 50 hours per week for OPU's and SFS. I'm willing and able, but I will hit my vacation accrual limit on my next...

Is Target putting in sneeze guards at the registers?

Is anyone able to clarify for me if you can use accrued vacation time with an unpaid personal LOA? I've been out using sick time (as directed by HR) and told to call in a few days to discuss whether I needed to go on an LOA, and that if so would be approved with no problem. I did not get a...

We don't yet know how many Americans will experience serious COVID-19 illnesses or even deaths. However, our nation will not be the same from this time forward. For the most part, fear will linger about whether COVID-19 or another life-threatening virus comes back. People will tend to be far...

Has anyone had a positive case at your store? We did and they made it sounds like management cleaned everything. Am I crazy for thinking they should close or at least test everyone?

Helloooo! I’m a new employee. Started 2 weeks ago. I called out today because of cold-like symptoms. Will I be fired or disliked?

Hello! I am working at store in addition to my full time job. So far, about a month, it has been manageable. But the section of my store has been closed down due to the pandemic and they have shifted my hours to the regular store. I have asthma and am at higher risk of complications if I...

No ! We may be essential or front line workers now, but Target is not providing proper protective gear and have not changed hours in my store to unload trucks and stock shelves during non business hours. Instead they are still having us interact with guests despite making announcements to keep...

I have a real condition, Kidney Failure, and was advised by my doctor to stay home due to the virus, and I am a guest service advocate ( cashier) and in direct contact with the guest, some from all over the world, due to my location. But when I went on leave on 3/22/20 I got the run-around...
