Do you have to attend volunteer events?

[Spideressential]

Hi!! I am pretty new to target (only been here about a month) I was recently asked if I wanted to go to a volunteer event we have coming up next week. They kind of acted like they were expecting me to go. I’m not sure if I want to though because it’s pretty far away. Can I get in trouble for not going? Do certain department have to go regardless? I just wasn’t for certain.

Nope.

 

[Yetive]

Yeah, you don't have to go.

I've done a bunch and they can be fun but you definitely don't have too and will not be in trouble

Years ago myself and some new hires did a volunteer day at a local ******* (for anonymity). Store mgmt was basically unappreciative and the vol. recipients were critical and not even a thank you. Going forward, for the remaining years, fuck it. Line up the mustard and salad dressing, make bales, be friendly and that's it.

Does Target pay you to do them? I can't remember.
