Archived Spot Minimum Wage Increase

[can't touch this]

I just ask for a cost-of-living raise because a merit raise would wipe them out forever

 

[Kartman]

"Ask" for a raise? Really???

 

[PM2NO]

Now officially double the wage of my starting pay. Took me 10 years to get to $12 meanwhile someone coming in gets it day one.

 

[countingsheep]

Know that feeling took me the same amount of time and now im just like all the other tadpoles in the shark pond

 

[Kartman]

I knew I shoulda been a Brain Surgeon!!!

We were told today that the increase is effective as of March 1st and there is no extra increase above $12 for other paygrades. However, the ETL who announced it is also a massive idiot, so I don't think it's entirely correct.

All other paygrades will go up by $1 (unless your target is already above $12)

 

[Kartman]

Just checked - still at 11.

 

[Anelmi]

So if I get paid on the 16th, 4 days will be at my current rate and 10 days will be at the $12?

 

[GoodyNN]

Good point. It's probably the first day of the first new pay period after the 1st. Or it's April 1, which is a Sunday.

 

[zabbaza]

Cool now they can cut our hours even more and yell at us when we can't finish all our work

 

[Kartman]

Beat me but don't bruise me!

 

[Kaitii]

[Kartman]

Can you spot me a Jackson?

$12 before the end of spring, then $13 going into q4, and lastly $14 into summer of 2019. Then kicking $15 into Q1 of 2020. Calling it right now.

At huddle tonight my ETL said April for reviews/wage increase.

 

[SallyHoover]

I am glad they are making the incremental increases opposed to waiting until 2020 to jump to $15. I do wish that the pay would start 50 cents or a dollar under and raise to the new levels upon completion of the 90 day review with a minimum of satisfactory review. Crap workers from day one shouldn't be making the same as long term team members who are being brought up to the minimum. It's discouraging training someone who is making the same as you especially the ones you can tell are likely not to last more than 30 days.
I still think you can find quality people if they know that they will be making X after completing the 90 day probation period.

California is already at 12 for Target, so I doubt this effects us.

It's all area dependent. Some stores are already at 15 bucks an hour.

All this means is that 12 is becoming the company wide minimum

 

[HRZone]

So if I get paid on the 16th, 4 days will be at my current rate and 10 days will be at the $12?

I think the HR guide says it kicks in starting in May (right in time for BTS)

No I live in cali and make 11

This its always been paperwork in april first check increase in may. Our store was 12 already due to city raise. Still not sure how I feel about the 15 seeing as how they are dolling only 4hr shifts for everyone in my store. Talked to my etl tonight they said it would be the norm until Q4

 

[SallyHoover]

The other thing though is it does take away some motivation for anything other than meets expectations. The difference between a $0.15 raise and a $0.40 raise this month during my annual evaluation with be wiped out by the raise in the minimum. I have a friend's wedding next Saturday that I thought I requested off months ago when I RSVP'd but when I saw that I was scheduled for that day, I checked and realized I either forget to do it or didn't click all the way through on the request. I am trying to find a swap but am thinking about whiting that out and just calling out. Even with the call out my attendance isn't going to drop below meets expectations. Yes my attitude here kind of sucks but I am actually quite good at faking a sunny disposition at work even when I am bored out of my freaking skull.

 

[Kartman]

Call out - fuck it.

Unless you think they really care about you...
