Truth..Sounds like someone is getting “performanced” out
Should I have ratted out the team lead on break who answered her walkie? Should I have not helped an elderly woman get a cart on the way to the break room? Man, there are some really petty people at your store. Sounds like they are looking for excuses to get rid of you. I'm sorry you're going through this ☹
May as well do a punch correction for that day now.So I got written up for hear say and put on a final yesterday. They said on my day off two team members overheard me tell another team member how to do something and that's considered working off the clock. Is that legal just off here say? And a final?!
Sorry to hear that your leaders are so chickenshit. ASANTS, but at my store before Modernization you couldn’t be written up for hearsay, but at this point, who knows? Sounds like they are grasping at straws for a reason to write you up and performance you out. My advice is to start looking for a new job and get out before they term you, especially if you do not have benefits with Spot. There are better jobs out there with less stress and better management. Good luck!
It’s not a stupid question. It’s good to find a new job first and be able to choose when you leave instead of having that decision made for you and be thrown into the job market suddenly and unprepared. You won’t have to be without a paycheck for the time between your term date and and the date that you find a new job, which might take a while. It’s better to have a new job to walk right into, either by quitting Spot or by working both jobs until they term you. You can be choosier about finding a new job because you don’t have to take the first thing that comes along out of desperation, and when you are asked why you left your last job in interviews you can be perfectly honest and don’t need to say that you were fired, because you weren’t. For someone being performanced out, the last choice you have is leaving on your own or being termed, so it’s best to set yourself up for success elsewhere and move on on your own terms. Just my 2 cents.I've never been fired from a job. I know this is probably a stupid question but what is the benefit of quitting before they can fire you?

I am and I'm trying but it seems like somehow they think they are in the right. I asked them "how was I giving direction or advice to another team member, when neither one of us was in the clock"? We were talking. I was off and so was this other employee.On your day off , you went to the store to shop and were talking to TMs.
Fight this , deny this. Tell them you were there to shop, and talked to the employees. Don’t take this lying down, please.
I don’t see how you can be written up for talking when you were both off the clock.I am and I'm trying but it seems like somehow they think they are in the right.

Yep that was my point. He kept saying u gave direction to someone while off the clock. BUT SHE WAS OFF THE CLOCK AS WELL! We were shopping!I don’t see how you can be written up for talking when you were both off the clock.
Were you talking about work? Or just talking. Even if you were both of the clock and talking about work and you were giving her direction about work, or describing your work then it can be considered working off the clock. I am sorry you are going through this. I talk to people off the clock all the time and who work at other stores. But if they are trying to find a reason to get rid of you, it is a reason especially if you were the one causing her to work off the clock (you describing or telling something that she does not know). Because working off the clock is a no-no, being 'trained' on your time off is what it could be seen as (for her). But really it is stupid, the countless breaks we all work through and denied breaks is a much bigger deal but they are just trying to build a case against you.Yep that was my point. He kept saying u gave direction to someone while off the clock. BUT SHE WAS OFF THE CLOCK AS WELL! We were shopping!
I once worked for a SrTL and a fellow PA who worked off the clock for an hour straight pushing milk and produce. The ETL knew about it and didn’t even write them up. Meanwhile, this same ETL wrote someone up on the team for not pushing enough frozen during his shift. Bottom line, if Target wants you gone they will use any ticky tack excuse they can to push you out the door. They can and DO bend rules for people they like or don’t like.
Any reason why they would have done this (worked off the clock?)
Well, anyone who's hourly....you're getting fired for posting on this site apparently.
What an outrage this is. BUSINESS IS ROUGH LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. THERE ARE SHARKS OUT THERE
Lol this is hilarious to me. There are too many assholes with power in the pot stirring it up.We have an ETL who frequently uses the reddit, and a TL that uses this board at my store. Sad to see they're now getting fired 😢
