To chime in, my store didn't exist during the "good days" but things have really taken a turn here too. On the subject of recognition and rewards, that is ALL gone. We used to do monthly drawings to see who the "top dog" of the store is (performance related) and that person would get a bag full of good stuff and target swag (I have several bullseye plushies because of that). We also used to do a reward for every person who didn't call out once during the entire month and while that was much smaller, it was still nice - that's gone too. We would almost always get food catered during special occasions like holidays and black Friday - not anymore! We're not even allowed to buy food for the whole time anymore is the crazy part. With recognition being gone, they don't even say thank you to certain TMs who carry departments like they used to at my store. It's literally just show up, get yelled at, barely make the unrealistic expectations and then go home. Don't even get me started on how many hours have been cut lately yet nearly EVERY time off request is getting denied. So y'all don't have payroll but also don't want to save money considering we have more than enough TMs to go around to cover?? Make it make sense.
