sumtimes the only way upper management knows how to motivate people is by trying to make them feel bad and insult them n be mean to them because they don't know any other way to how to motivate them. they have frustrations when it comes to training people because management doesn't like to do any work n team members have to do training but they complain the most about that because they don't get paid enough which is true. I wish management did all the training but they normally don't unless they r new n trying to bring up morale n eventually after being there management gets frustrated and upset n doesn't like to do any work because they think its beneath them to do the job so they just walk around n do nothing. when they get bored and get used to not working at all they get angry because part of human happiness requires work, play, and sleep. so if team members r deprived of any of those 3 things then they will be upset n not happy. in my store there is no AC until open times so a lot of people are frustrated because of working in the heat n humidity. u cant let other mean people get u down like the members on this website cus they r looking to vent on other people which is what u experience in ur store. its easy to vent on new team members because they have no say or no skills and can be driven out within 90 days very easy. a lot of new team members have been treated badly but over time n after they get used to environment n prove themselves things get better. what happens is people grow on each other even those that come off annoying. eventually everyone will like each other. that's why some people say this website is good for venting even tho a lot of webforum members try to insult each other but that's because they r unhappy and receive great joy of trying to make others feel bad. its a social complex in terms of ganging up on others in order to have something to relate to with each other. most of the time it is females like myself who get the brunt of the gossip n in the store it is usually the females who r the meanest to each other just like on this webform. so far it is just the immature n young ones who have bad information n assume things who r mean to each other. u have to remember the hardest ones to love r the ones that need it the most. so if they r mean to u u can ignore it or actually go out of ur way to be nice to them kind of like sucking up to them. u will be surprised how many people just want u to suck up to them n show respect because they think they deserve it. a lot of people have negative thoughts about themselves n they feel better when they go after others who they think r not as good as them sometimes the mentally disabled. some people who suffer from disability get a lot of gossip and grief in our store but they handle it well n they can always come to me n I reassure them n comfort them when people r mean to them so they can let it slide. like I said before eventually people grow on each other n they end up loving each other. it will get better for u I am sure all u have to remember is the fact that even tho u feel like u might not be good enough for target or r treated poorly those around u have the same job so what does that say about them if they r so much better? its a whole lot of funny most of the time n u have to think positive about urself and when u do others will sense that n like u more. even if there is no confidence u can always fake confidence like the rest of us or u can come to a webforum in anonymity n be mean to others n vent about problems if it makes u feel better but it will be short lived as its like a drug n u will find another way. another thing to remember is if they treat u poorly n u left they will find someone else to treat poorly. and just like this webform people are threatened by new people n new ideas because they r comforted by the normal everyday people they r used to n don't like change. a whole lot of people don't like change at all. but after 12 now going on 13 years workin in many stores I can tell u that the saying ever changing retail environment is true n u have to adapt n adjust. don't let them get u down because there is karma out there n most blatant mean people can be reported n get written up in stores n when they do they can only be mean to people on webforum so don't let it get u down
