So according to my schedule the next two weeks I am not working at all. Is this something that happens? I tried to get an answer as to why I’m not working at all and no one has contacted me to answer my questions.
That's typical of Target. I've seen people, including myself, reduced to 4 hours a week even though I'm quite tenured, to accommodate their new hires.
Does it make any sense to treat people like that? No.
I'm applying for unemployment because they took me from 22 hours a week down to 4. I thought it was a glitch at first but it's gone on for two months now.
What they told me is that because I'm disabled I can't jump from job to job and they prefer to have someone that will be able to go from cashier to drive up on a moment's notice.
I was HIRED 5½ years ago WITH the disability. They are trying to get rid of anyone over 50 or disabled. That is very obvious.
Did they actually say this? Like they told you because you're disabled they won't schedule you in different workcenters? That's the biggest most blatant violation of ADA in the history of like...ever.
Tell them you're not down with that, use the words "Reasonable accommodations" and "ADA".
They DID. It was from a TL that quit shortly thereafter. I believe the individual was trying to give me a heads-up. The individual said, "we need someone who can be on their feet for a full 8 hour shift and go from work center to work center on a moment's notice".Did they actually say this?

The reason those folks who ask for 20 hours or less, is because they may lose their social security benefits for working more than 20 hours a week.Wow! This is crazy and terrible! Can I ask what state?
I have 4 excellent TMs on my lanes that are disabled and don't move from area to area. We love them there. They get so many compliments and surveys, they never call out, and I know I can trust them to do right by the guest. I would schedule them more but they all ask for 20 hours or less a week.
I'm shocked at the culture of your store, sure we need people who can hop from area to area but we don't need everyone to do so!
As others have stated you should seek advice from people who understand your rights and ask a leader straight up why you are being discriminated against!
