Now. Hours for the first full week of January are back to pre-fourth quarter hours. And the seasonal hires who aren't staying on aren't on the schedule (I hope).
Is the newest schedule when hours were supposed to get cut?
Ever since I started at Target I've heard horror stories, both from my coworkers and on this site, talking about how badly hours get cut after the holidays. I check the newest schedule expecting the worst, and I see...36 hours. As opposed to Christmas week where I got 32!!! I'm in awe that my...

If you’re seasonal I have some bad news for you. If you’re not seasonal.... well then ouch.

I'm not. This happened last year to me too. Sucks
I keep saying (on this forum) if they want me to leave they'll just have to sack up and fire me

I might be fucked for hours but at least I don't have kids. I don't know how you guys with kids deal with the hours crunch this time of year.

The wife works a job not as fickle as Target. I save up during the 4th quarter as much as I can, and beg for hours weekly until they come back.

Second job here literally no other way. But my second job is better than spot anyhow. I do agree for those with kids this crunch time is brutal.
Second job would be mandatory without the swap board. With the swap board I can make do.
Scheduled 11 hours next week, am at 26 after picking up 3 shifts, will probably wind up nearing 40 by picking up more before the end of the week.

Definitely 2nd job. Target has never been enough except a few weeks during 4th quarter. But it's ok. My other job is way different, and the change of pace is a good thing.

Spot during 4th quarter, "Please stay. Please. Please. Pretty please. We like you. I'll buy you a Starbucks. Please. No, I'm not just being nice so you'll do me a favor." Spot from December 26 until November whatever, "Leave. Just leave and don't let the door hit your fat ass. Look you hours sucking bitch, fuck you and your kids. I can't even look at you."

Yup! I've never been cut all the way down to 4 hours, which I think is the barebones minimum for a store to keep you in active payroll status ("zero hours" which is the thread topic rarely occurs b/c of this), but fully expect reduced hours for the immediate future. There aren't too many swapshifts posted but if you keep in touch with your co-workers you're bound to found somebody who unexpectedly needs a day off for something. Some people apply for unemployment (reduction of hours) and get partial benefits but it depends on the state and you will need to make an actual job search depending on state. If you have vacation hours, it's a good time to use them.

Yep, it's bare-bones coverage at the registers and guest services right now. Our best remaining guest services team member quit and it's been quite difficult for the relatively inexperienced guest service team members to pick up the slack.

We cut hours, but still have a lot of call outs.

They actually called me and a few other people in this week so they could spend their allotted hours. I overheard them saying they'll be cutting hours next week because it starts the new month.
