Hi there Target TM,
I was terminated on Wednesday by my ETL. Going to give a brief description of how it went down.
On Monday I was called into the ETL office and was told that even though I'm an exceptional employee and that they didn't want to lose me, that if I wasn't able to have open availability across the board that unfortunately my position could no longer be permanent. It was left with me having to touch base with him on Wednesday with regards to my availability.
Since working at Target I have never NCNS or called out sick. When hired, my availability was open with the exception of Monday and Tuesday as I had the responsibility of bringing my children to and from school (single mom here). As time passed since becoming a TM at Target, I was in several departments (Planogram, Ship To Home, Flow, Price Ad, Cashier and even discussions of going to bakery) and to say the least every TL wanted me on their team. Although I'm a Jill of all trades, having so many TL to report to along with numerous conflicts with my schedule (because not every TL was aware of my availability when they did the schedule) and having to change shifts that were put on for Monday and Tuesday my ETL always corrected it, knowing my availability. After Mondays discussion, I left in tears and went back into work on Tuesday. When I went into TSE, HR asked me to do a punch correction due to our time clock not functioning properly the day before. While doing the correction, HR asked if I was ok (swollen eyes from the tears) I told her yes, however I received some unfortunate news from my ETL. HR explained that what was said was unfair and that I needed to speak to someone higher up. As she was having this discussion with me, the store manager had walked into TSE and overheard everything. Have in mind there was zero bad mouthing of anyone and was all dealt with professionally. Wednesday I came in for my 4AM-12PM shift resetting cosmetics. I not only completed the unfinished work that was left by another TM from the day before but I also began and completed a new reset on my own and once completed I jumped in to helping other TM complete their tasks. I stayed past my shift time and was shortly called into ETL office at around 1:15PM. I told my ETL that I would appreciate having Mondays and Tuesdays off due to responsibilities but if it is not feasible that I would make myself available for the store at anytime. He proceeded to tell me that at this point he had to sever all ties and that the store manager had contacted him directly after walking in on my conversation with HR and told him that that was completely unacceptable to be having a discussion about what had happened on Monday. I'm sorry but aren't we supposed to go through HR with these issues? Not to mention HR approached me.
I feel completely betrayed at this point and now without a job to provide for my children. As a single mom this is extremely stressful. I contacted the integrity line and made a report in which they also stated it was unfair. Does anyone here know what I should expect in the upcoming days?
Thanks in advance for any input!
