Makeshift TPS
Guest
When we lost 60% of the cameras at my store, they told us that it would be better because they could increase the quality and frame rate of the remaining cameras. This week every store in my district has their cameras all cut to 240p resolution, even the PTZs. Our Sr investigators were all laid off, our special investigator is gone. The regional IC is gone.
In the time I've been at Target: Our hours have been cut, our positions have been cut, our investigators have been laid off, our ICs have been closed, our uniforms have been changed to a humiliating Walmart greeter outfit, out focuses have shifted.
I seriously considered becoming an investigator, I wanted to move up the chain and catch the big fish, but that's all in the past now. I don't even want to stay with the company for the experience anymore. I took a TPS position because every cop I talked to couldn't get off how good we were, how infamous AP was for criminals, how potent and sophisticated our specialists and investigators could be. Our uniforms looked exactly like the cops that worked out beat, our focus on external results and internal resolution was exciting and made me look forward to coming into work every day.
Now I wear a knockoff Walmart greeter outfit with handcuffs I never get to use anymore. I stand at the doors all shift and hand out carts. Guest experience comes before shortage reduction, my job isn't even my primary job. It's humiliating, and it's demoralizing, and I hope I get a position at an Academy before word gets out of what AP is becoming I really love(d) working for Target, but this isn't for me anymore. I don't want to sound like i'm crying or stomping my feet even though it may come across as such. I had a vested hope in this company and wanted it to succeed, I was one of the people that fully believed in the vibe and the family they're trying to create, I just cant see myself as a part of it anymore.
