Hey, y'all... I've been working for Target for a little over a month now, and a job I took out of desperation has turned into a job I really like. I like the people I work with, I like the customers/"guests", and I like the atmosphere. The only complaint I have is that I'm often scheduled for the "closing" shift, and that means that while I'm scheduled from 3-11PM, sometimes I'm not even allowed to leave until past midnight or 1AM. I'm happy to be a "team player", but I don't like it when I'm held against my will after having worked hard for a full 8 or 9 hours in Electronics and being told I shouldn't dare ask to go home until I've folded shirts in "Softlines" for another hour. I asked a fellow employee what would happen if I had other plans and needed to go home at my scheduled end time, and she said "The L.O.D. would laugh at you." I'm hired for and in it for the long haul, beyond seasonal...and I want to work hard and give it my all. But am I wrong to speak to a manager about being held hostage in the closing hours? It wasn't in the job description.
