Bittersweet Emotions After Putting in 2 Weeks

[Falltitan]

After 5 years at Target I was offered a job I couldn't say no too. I'm excited to start but am very emotional about leaving here. It feels like an end of an era for me and I guess it kinda is. I was 24 when I started and I'm now 29 and can hardly recognize the person I was 5 years ago. So many life changes; bad and good happened for me while I worked here. I got to meet so many people some cool and some not so cool. I made some really good friends as well. As strange as it sounds working there felt like I truly belonged somewhere for the first time in my life. I was well liked and hung out with a lot of people in all different departments. I finally came out of my shell.

I know I have to move on eventually and I'm lucky to look back fondly but goddamn the next few days will be emotional.

Congrats. Don't forget about personal leave or vacation to use up.

Yay good luck. At least somebody is giving you the opportunity.

Who cares why she joined. She’s got 5 years with spot and may be able to help others if she remains in this group.

I feel you, Target helped me become the person I am today. Even though my store is going downhill I can't forget what it used to be. I also came out of my shell. Next week is my last week and gosh darn it I'm going to be feeling all the feels.

I understand you joining to say good-bye. We are made to feel afraid to ‘be found out’ by our stores for participating here.

Congratulations for having a great opportunity, growing as a person in the last 5 years And not being afraid to move on. I’m happy for you that Target was a positive experience. Regret is unnecessary. Walk forward and don’t look back. In many situations people like to leave while “they are still on top”, it would be a shame to stay with Target and have situations turn sour and not have the fond memories of your time here.

If you really miss it - try a few hours as a seasonal 4th quarter to keep the contacts.

Best of luck.
