Hi, everyone. I've been stalking this forum for awhile now but finally joined so that I could share my Target experience here on the Happy Trails thread. I (think I) am quitting tomorrow. I am currently an HR assistant. Two years ago this week I started as a seasonal hardlines TM, then went to softlines, then went to instocks, and now HR (with lots of other cross-training in-between). I recognize how great it has been that Target has invested in my development and recognized what I have been contributing, but all of this has changed very, very quickly.
It has been 15 days since the ETL-HR openly discriminated against an applicant I suggested.
It has been 11 days since I confronted her about it.
Ever since, I have been physically sick from the stress and dreading work. While I have a few opportunities appearing, it seems I have to jump ship before another job is lined up. I know that even an hour's notice to my manager of my resignation would lead to an hour of hell, based on how she has handled the situation. Therefore, I know that when I leave (if it's not tomorrow), I cannot give a notice. I would love nothing more than to go to the EEOC about it, but I do not have enough proof to move forward. I know an internal investigation would merely serve in her favor. I am completely distraught at having to leave a job I have loved for almost two years, but I draw the line at having to keep Tums in my purse and being unable to sleep because my boss literally makes me sick.
I've thought about how I would leave since reading the "Go Out With a BANG!" thread, and I think the "best" way to leave without hurting my team is to schedule as many interviews as I can for an HR TM position that mysteriously opened. :spiteful: As for why tomorrow, she will be gone on vacation until Monday so that leaves plenty of time for stuff to pile up. Mwahahaha.
(I did just notice that she works later than me tomorrow, so I will deal my cards on Friday I suppose. I think I may requisition several hundred dollars worth of food for my awesome team.)
