Archived Letting me go

[Happy]

After working for Target for 6 months in SFS, and being kept on after seasonal, I’ve been given the cut. LOD pulled me into TSC to tell me they have to let me go after my shift next Saturday, due to keeping too many seasonal TM’s. Quite the bummer.

The fuck? How can they do that if you're over your 90?

I believe seasonal is considered 180 days max.

It is.

The moar you know

No. It is like 155. It is 100% less than 6 months. Ask for your seasonal contract.

What?! No, that's terrible! I'm so sorry you got let go. I felt the same way after my last job did the same thing to me.

Just keep your head held high, knowing that you're not being fired for poor work skills, but rather due to an excessive roster.

Best of luck on finding a new job.
May you find something better!

I’ve always been told 160 days so right around there. It’s in the seasonal paperwork as you said. It sucks but 100% within targets right.

Its very rare for Target to let go of people who are “working out”. They usually would switch you to a different work center. Did you have issues ? Attendance ,performance etc?

The seasonal period can last up to 165 days.

Nope. I never missed a day of work, nor was I ever late. Always got my job done well.

Apply for unemployment

I'm surprised if you were good, they couldn't bump you into another area with an underperformer. We have so much dead weight we can shuffle people ontop of.

With the upcoming changes to job duties and hours, it doesn't surprise me at all that they'd take any opportunity to get rid of people without having to try and force them out in the upcoming months, sadly.
At least 90% of the team we kept from seasonal isn't going to work out in the new processes. Since we knew that going into it, it would have been nice if we'd been able to be open with those people... Then again, when we offered them jobs, I'm sure no one told them they'd be working 4-8 hours a week, either.

Are 4 hour shifts the way things are now for 'general merchandise' team members, or whatever flow is becoming?

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Yes. Common event on 4 hour shifts, with the same or higher workload.
