Speaking to your hours your department may be shorthanded, much like mine. This means that all of our team is scheduled close to their max. If you don't want that many hours I suggest lowering your max. On a side note though this is the only time of the year when Target seems to be okay with any and all overtime because we make bank during the 4th quarter. I always take advantage of it because as soon as the holidays are over we go into super strict hours mode.
