Archived No hours

#1 question I have when someone says they arent getting hours is - what’s your availability?

I love when people think they should be getting 40 hours when they have limited availability. Mytime doesn’t pull people that way, and when their availability doesn’t line up with the business needs of the store they get less hours.

Tms don’t seem to ever grasp this

My hours dropped drastically...I think my store is definitely overstaffed...at least for cashiers.

Corporate really doesn’t want cashiers to get more then 20-25 hours a week now.

Says you? Or you saw a directive from corporate?

I have full availability and I’m only getting 23 hrs next week and a different Electronics TM is only getting 15

When I was (re) hired as seasonal, I was told that part time cashiers get scheduled for up to 20 hours

Your store may have over hired. Some work centers in my store get OT while others sit at 25 hours/week. We have a lot of Team Members who don't want a lot of hours and are perfectly happy with 25 hours. I got 61 hours last week, it was a long week but I am looking forward to my paycheck.

I don't know how Spot thinks I can pay for my meth/heroin habit and my love of one-legged prostitutes on just 20 hours a week.

I may have to start a GoFundMe project!

Our store overhired, then cut a bunch of hours due to payroll. I really can't complain about the hours I'm getting, as it's the perfect workload for me. Though, like other posters have mentioned, I think it's absolutely hilarious when TMs bitch about "signing up" for 40 hours and not getting them.

That's not how it works. Just because you said I can work any day/time, doesn't mean you're guaranteed hours.

I like the ones that want 40 hours a week but can only work 5 hours a day...

My store will give OT one week then cut hours the next. Over spend to save. Makes total sense....

I blame this on the reporting. One week will you be 200 hours green for the month and need to spend. A leader will overspend and suddenly you're in the red and need to cut.

Re: availability and no hours - yes, I have restricted my availability from what it used to be because my other job wants to give me hours and actually does. Even so, I'm definitely not scheduled anywhere near my maximum availability, even on truck days during 4th quarter. I'm not about to turn down hours at the other job in hopes of being asked to stay later at this one.
I'm fortunate in that I have that choice; some who work only at Target really hope for those big trucks and call-offs so they get asked to stay past their scheduled out-time. I used to do that too, until I got tired of trying to pay bills based on "maybe."
