No Hours?

[Bullseye260]

Hey is anyone else experiencing the two day work week yet?

How long do we expect this to last.

Common event these days. Watch for swap shifts

I am not trying to be rude or blunt just clear for you and anyone else with the same question when I say, expect it to continue. If you get more hours great if not be ready. Your hours will be a perpetual roller coaster of enough and not enough. Leaderships response will be something like "I'm sorry. We expect it to get better but we cannot guarantee X number of hours a week for you. We didn't have the workload in [your area] so we were limited on hours, which means we were unable to give everyone more days. I wish I could give you more days. I would suggest you check MyTime everyday to see if there are shifts available for you to pick up more hours" but you are back to where you started.
If you are someone who needs a steady stream of hours each week you have 3 options: second job, new job, promotion.

I remember when hours were picked up in April.

This week and next I got 37.5 hours. I work drive up so my hours rarely get cut much. When hours are cut I get around 32 hours.

That’s one of the reasons I love drive up my hours rarely get cut much. I have not had less than 32 hours in years.

This is the time when cross-training & picking up shifts come into play.

Do team leads get their hours slashed?

 

[redeye58]

They're usually guaranteed a minimum of 32/week at our store.

As someone in HR, it is sad but true. I always tell people Target is not for someone who needs steady income because they have bills to pay. If so, Target should supplement their primary and more fixed income. Otherwise, late payments are coming.

Yes, at my store, especially the leaner months of Feb, March and June. Although ASANTS...

I’ve been Target 14 years and it is my only source of income. When hours are low I make it work. Pick up shifts, use vacation, ask to come in early or stay late. Peeps always calling out so there is usually some extra hours around.
