gonna be honest, I don't really know why they hate this website so much, but they just do.

THEY CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH

Obligatory “First rule of Fight Club” post.

Corporate only reads my posts and then does the opposite of what I suggest

Be sure to tell them how you want less hours and a really REALLY low annual raise. 1% is just fine!!!

Didn't Target have a sort of forum/Facebook Group type thing for TMs briefly? I imagine it's probably killed off now but I seem to recall something like that

There’s a few “target confessions” pages on FB. Some of them aren’t even private, people post some ballsy stuff on there.

Edit - if you meant a Target sanctioned group, I do not know of anything like that.

Yeah I've seen those too but this was an internal "official" thing. I think it was circa late 2012-early 2013

I've heard they are thinking about something similar to either this site or the messenger type app PMTs have to communicate with each other. Something tells me they'd have all these rules though and we couldn't swear nearly as much as we can here. Fuck that, lol.

It’s called Yammer and supposedly it is rolling out to more work centers soon. HQ has a very large presence on the pages, so yes it’s quite G rated.

Yes, that's the name! Could not recall what my PMT called it. Such a shame about being G rated....guess I'd just have to stick with "what the fork" instead.

I remember that but I can't recall the exact name; it was akin to the RED magazine but an online version.
It was basically a brown-noser facebook with everyone raving about all the latest & greatest according to the company line; an on-line pep rally.
No dissent, controversy or bad morale allowed.
Yep, it died.
BTW Formina, thanks for keeping us safe from corp eyes.

 

[Aredhel]

Yammer. Really?

 

[Aredhel]

There’s a dignified approach to worker management communication.

 

[rog the dog]

My last STL told me that ETL's weren't allowed to visit this site. I always wondered how they enforced that.

Whatever they do it worked on @HRZone

Guess it's better than 'Blabber'.

I don’t remember that at all, was it a pilot in certain areas? It sounds like their little twitter circle jerks they have now

Ya what happened to that guy

 

[rog the dog]

Ya what happened to that guy

Became ETL one day, disappeared the next.

Now that I think about it like that, it really isn't that strange. ETL's have a tendency to disappear after all!

Oh so he’s just in his office, gotcha

 

[Ringwraith917]

This forum was really useful when the my devices were first rolling out. Had a couple of guys who were working on debugging/improving myWork directly communicating with us. It was amazing.

 

[The lost Soul]

most definitely not letting any etls or stls know about this web nor that I use it. lol not even what so called "friends" at the workplace. can not trust no one now a days. so much gossip and drama goes on already with no technology, I can only imagine what happens if someones from my store knows that I use this site and go out of their way to spreading shit during work-hours.

 

[shortstuffishere]

Now that I've left target and that my former gsatl is an lod equivalent at our new job (we both now work for a local grocery store). yes.. hes never heard of it

Red360 was the name. Thanks FS!

Target Red 360 is what it is currently called. Though, they don't update it very often.

Oh funny, "Yammer" is actually a Microsoft product name just like "SharePoint".

And yes, Red360 is what I was thinking of. That thing's still alive?!
