Hey all. Longtime lurker, first time poster here. Not sure if this is the right thread for this post, but if it isn't, feel free to direct me to the right place.
I was let go in December. When I was hired on for Electronics, the first thing I asked was if I was seasonal. I was told that I wasn't, and didn't have much to worry about.
When they let me go, they said I was one of the seasonals being termed.
My biggest issue with Spot was being scheduled alone at peak times, being expected to push all of truck alone, and being expected to help guests/ring guests out. When I walked in on days off, there were always 2+ people scheduled for the rush.
I was borderline harassed by one of the TL's. She literally told me more than once to quit wasting her time. She once came up to me while I had a line of 28+ guests, and told me I wasn't getting truck done and it was pissing her off. Quite literally said "Target isn't paying you to dick around and not get shit done. You either get your shit together, or you're out." while I was checking out guests. Consistently called me off my lunch to yell at me. Other than her, none of the TL's I dealt with seemed to have any issues with me. My electronics TL even said she was shocked to see I was let go and was sure I was going to stay on because I was doing a good job.
I went to my store lead and HR about the specific TL, and the day after, I was called in and let go. On that day, I calculated that it was my 95th day of employment, so I'm not surprised, just a little bit angry about the instances in which I was let go.
Now, a current TM who I added on PlayStation just notified me that some TMs think I was stealing, and that was why I was termed, but that is so far from the truth and I'm a little infuriated.
More than anything, is there anything I can do about the way I felt that I was treated that led to my termination?
