To that one Team Member I - ARCHIVED

[BackroomBeast]

And for the good

When you're having a rough night and that certain team member kicks *** all night long and another one stays to help make bales. Then after giving the team lunch and realizing right when you're about to clock out the breakroom didn't get cleaned, going to clean it and finding its already been done.

I love my team.

You are lucky, my team loves to make me clean the break room, even though a barely use the breakroom. (I drink a coffee and have a hotdog and get back to work)

And, To that one TM who thought it was a great idea to **** in the breakroom: I don't even know what to say. I run from the backroom un to the breakroom after hearing "Can someone clean the breakroom, you wont believe what just happened" 5 ninutes later, walking into the breakroom, I see 4 TMs either cursing at the TM who "by accident" dropped a diarrhea, or attempting to the strong stomach to clean diarrhea that belonged to a 55 year old TM. To make my day even more crappy, this TM was acting like some old crabby general gone target TL. I gagged when I started cleaning the liquid crap, almost vomited about 5 times. Thank god the old man (who also was going borderline stalker on every female in the store) was fired.

TTOHRETL: thank you for being the first HR ETL out of the 5 I've dealt with who actually does things in the best interest of your tm's and looking into concerns instead of just saying you will. I'm typically not a complainer, but this issue was a huge deal to me and if things had kept going where they were going I would have quit.

To that leadership team, be careful who you talk your shit in front of. You're making assumptions about who's on your side and you're wrong, because... Idk... That anyone is on your side....

 

[Jefmanly]

TTOTM: I know you've been out of work for 4 months with a broken leg, but you should have been fired at the end of the holidays for your habit of watching porn while on the floor.

Wait what the FUCK, how did target not auto block anything like that i mean really .... wow , i'm in shock in how that could even fucking happen

 

[OopsChargeback]

TTOTL: You've generally been getting better at being a leader, and for the most part you've gotten really good at organizing people to speed up our push process, but for fuck's sake you need to stop sending me, by myself, to bowl and push 100+ cartons plus multiple flats worth of autofills in Paper with less than 30 minutes before the store opens and my shift ends. It does not work. It is a bad time. It's like the one thing you keep doing weirdly badly.

 

[toredandkhaki]

TTOLOD: get real. My TL gave me a not so nice talking to because I went above and beyond and set 6 endcaps on a slow night? There's a hockey game on, everyone is asking about redcards to every guest, so why do I need to stand there and do nothing and make sure they're doing what I know they're already doing? Btw, you weren't even there that night. This is ridiculous.

Also, TTOTM, complaining to a TL about me when you barked at me to jump on the lanes s9 you didn't have to wait, while I'm currently scheduled at guest service and have constant guests, and trying to help with the 2 1/2 pallets of bullseye playground push? Fuck you kindly.

 

[HardlinesGuy]

But Indyme buttons and red phones announce on Ch. 1...

I see no problem. Carry on. :APSealOfApproval:

 

[Doglover89]

TTO new GSA: I love ya dude, I really do. We got hired pretty close together and used to close together as cashiers all the time. I'm glad you got promoted (Lord knows I wouldn't want that job), but... you need to STOP saying we don't do shit in softlines. The first two times you said it, it was funny. The next time I was ready to tell my TL what you said. You are young, if you want to be a supervisor, gain some maturity.

 

[RunForACallBox]

TTOGSTL: Ok, lose the attitude about your CL E/Cs. If you would set them like you are supposed to in the first place instead of flexing whatever the hell you want, then you wouldnt get pissy when we actually set them correctly. Email your ETL and whine to him. And saying you want to have a conversation with the POG team. Ok, more than happy to... but you raise your voice and yell like you did at another TM, I'm walking out until you can act like a grown up instead of a 5 year old. Bitch.

 

[Infinim]

Yes they can and they do. They just have very limited scope of websites that are restricted. This goes for anything on Target WIFI, your normal plans are your own thing and no one is allowed to block the signal.

My guess is they were on their own data. I get 4g lte in store...

They do it on every channel, lol. Even when they ignore 'em and try using a different main channel.

They do not. The only ones that do are the "Team member needs assistance at the time clock" call buttons. Source: Am Backroom, always on Channel 2 and have not heard a call button in the six months that I have been backroom unless it's an overnight TM needing to be clocked in.

The ex TM was interfering with every channel, not the call buttons.

 

[oath2order]

Ugh the STL won't leave me alone about the fucking candy aisle

 

[oath2order]

They are trying to make me to price change after I get back from my lunch. The last time I did price change I puked in the middle of the huddle. Evidently this is a bad idea

My bad, I misread.

 

[shortstuffishere]

To the STL and CA: thanks to both of you for backing up when needed. The other night went to hell in a hand bag as we lost 3 cashiers between 6:00 and 6:30. They have to scheduled enough cashiers (and I'm not surprised) since like march.. but we are always slammed till 930ish. I understood why they did in January (and it worked) but this is f**king ridiculous.

Same here. Tonight was an absolute nightmare. It was insanely busy in the entire store for the whole day. Tons of backups with very heavy guest traffic. We all busted our butts just trying to keep our heads above water and guess what our LOD asks everyone? "Why isn't your zone done yet?" She walked the entire store all fucking day and had the audacity to ask us that?!

Right?? I've just learned sales floor and I'm the one they normally call for back up... it's like maybe if you actually schedule enough people.. wishful thinking.

 

[marxlish]

TTOclosingLOD: Hey, you are awesome. Thank you so much for standing up for the cashiers to the morning LOD.

 

[Doglover89]

TTO new ETL/LOD: You da man. You were at a training session since 6 am and still came in to close the store afterwards since the closing ETL was sick. Then you were on register for a while cause we had one cashier after 7pm due to who knows what. I gained some respect for you after that shift.

To the entire management staff: None of you ever had a problem with calling me on every single day off I've had for the past year when trying to cover call outs. Where the hell were you yesterday during my first ever NCNS in 9 years?

I'm sorry it happened and I have no excuse for it and I'm ready to accept reprimand for it. Seriously though. Nice to know you'll have my back if I'm in a ditch on the side of the road.

Pretty sure some genius at corporate decided that no one is allowed to call people who NCNS. Knew a newbie who wrote down the wrong week's schedule and "quit" when they accidentally NCNS'd 3 times in a row. (I know them personally so I know they didn't do it on purpose.)

Seriously? My store called if I was ever even 5 minutes late!

 

[Yetive]

We're not supposed to call, but usually someone does.
