I'm a z-rack pusher at my local Target. I thought I was doing a pretty good job and last weekend there were 6 full z racks in women's alone. I spent my entire shift (5 hours) finishing those since there were so many, a lot was new and it was my third week working at target.
There was another woman working there that day (not doing z racks, I think she was doing in stocks I'm not sure?) So anyway let's call her A. A asks me at the end of the day if I only managed to finish those 6 and I say "yes" since that is all I had time for... the other sections would not have taken long if I had more time since they had significantly less items. Anyway, I put away the z racks from the other sections away and decide to do them tomorrow.
The next day, I come but the z racks from the day before were done so I assumed A had talked to someone about it. I definitely did not, especially because I had a very early shift, before the store opens, so there wasn't any store leader there to help ask anyway.
Well, fast forward to today and the leader of duty (I believe ..) asked me to leave early and then pulled me aside before I left. She said I and not been doing z racks fast enough and then said that she spoke to the softlines team leader who had spoken to me (let's call him R). She said that I spoke to him on the day that I finished those 6 z racks. I hadn't spoken to him at any point about my performance with z racks at all, especially not on that day. I told her so, but it didn't get anywhere.
Anyway, I'm really confused about this. I used to think I was really slow with z racks, but then I noticed that when I have help, others can't finish any faster then I can. Even if I have help, it usually takes my entire shift to finish WITH their help. So I thought my speed was pretty good, especially considering how much faster I got with time on the job. Not just that, but I am really, really confused about what went on after I left because I hadn't spoken to A or R about z racks. I had assumed I would finish them later, especially since I didn't think the remaining ones would take much time (I should also note I wanted to do the easier z racks first but A brought me over to women's and told me to do that section first, so I'd I hadn't I would probably have gotten a lot more done in other areas). What went on back there I have no idea...
In other areas, I feel like I have been doing really good. I always say good morning to the guests and help them out and many of them thank me for it. I generally finish the z racks, unless there were A LOT of them. If I don't finish them one day, I generally finish them the next time I work all at once. I definitely thought I was slow at first, but not anymore.
It didn't help that today as I was doing Z racks I heard A mention me several times to other employees. Am I doing that badly? I definitely did not think so. I'm still on the 90 day trial period, so does this mean I will probably be fired?
