Hello,
I guess I need to give some back story to begin. Before working at target, I had three jobs, a construction worker, food service, and a swim teacher. During the summer of 2019 and 2020, I worked in construction making a lot of money. Although, I didn’t want to go back the summer of 2021 because of mental health and having a social/love life again. I was trying to find an internship through college, but covid made it real difficult this summer.(As restrictions weren’t lifted until now— I was trying to apply during fall of 2020.) I used the money made from construction to pay for college, help my family during the winter, bills, insurance, and now I’m paying for my own apartment with my significant other. I have enough in scholarships to pay for school, but having money in savings is lacking. It’s making me physically panic, about the what if’s, and not having the money if something were to happen in my new apartment or within my family. Anything. I live in Minnesota, and black ice is a scary thing. I worry about my car, and honestly, having money can keep the worry away about maintenance, college, and just living life. Moving forward, I than decided to apply to the online Target application. I got an online interview the next day, and I was very happy about it. Everything went by smoothly, and I applied to work 40 hours a week.
I started working at target on May 17th, 2021 starting off with orientation and then that following weekend I worked. Instantly, my hours were cut in half. Going from 32 to 16 hours this last week. I work the in the tech department, and honestly, it’s very fun and my coworkers are lovely. The only thing I really don’t know in the tech area is the target consumer cellular. Other than that, I really do like it. But as I said, money is important to keep my family stable, food on the table, bills paid, education covered, and now my apartment payments in check. I’ve only worked for a couple of weeks, and I am planning on going back to my construction job before the school year starts. I don’t want to burn my bridges with target, as maybe I want to go back part-time during the school year. I also struggle with the fact that I applied for full-time and I have not once had 40 hours on my schedule. I’ve had part time hours, for the next two weeks.
I honestly don’t know what to do, should I put my two weeks in through workday? Should I just talk to my head HR? Any recommendations would help.
