Archived Wage increases to $15 hour!!

[SrTLall]

@Brian Cornell @Rock Lobster weren't you the one who predicted this fairly early in the E2E thread? Or at least someone called it.

This is entirly wishful thinking:

The A&A E2E rollout guide hints at TMs eventually getting paid more. I can see Target offering more pay/hours to fewer, more skilled, people, instead of the current system that gives low pay/hours to a bunch of unmotivated bums. Essentially you end up with a group of specialists that gets more hours and higher pay AND do a much better job than your average Target TM.

what is my motivation to stay?

A paycheck?

 

[SilentCrow]

This is my answer when the person they just hired at the same wage as me asks me a question: I'm sorry. We make the same amount. Ask your boss. Oh, where's the compactor you ask? The same place it's been for the last 15 years I've been here.

At the end of the day, it isn't their fault and you're treating them wrong because of something out of their control.

 

[SilentCrow]

Unfortunately if I don't continue at the same pace I get spoken to about not fulfilling my responsibilities. They have no concept of what my job actually requires versus what I do to cover for a useless and lazy pptl.

I hear you. At this point you have nothing to lose. If they start talking to you about not fulfilling your responsibilities, tell them about how it's hard to stay motivated when it appears your hard work goes unnoticed.

"Honestly, I see no room to grow in this company for me" that'll make any leader worth his or her salt open their eyes.

Sometimes though it's just nothing you can do and it's annoying.

I had that talk when I got corrective action... six months during a time we had three leaders scheduled to walk. I point blank asked if they were trying to block me from the ability to even apply...

So the new hires will start at 11 per hour and get a $ 1.33 per year raise for the next 3 years to make 15 dollars by the end of 2020.

Wow and I have only been getting 25 cent raises for the past 3 years excluding the last raise bump up to minumum.

Tell me again , why long time employees can't get one of those $ 1.33 raises in October ?

Don't feel like...

Is that how the increase is being done? In 3 equal amounts?

 

[Kartman]

Speculation.

I see your point. But it's not that I'm treating them wrong, it's that if Target won't pay me for the knowledge I have, I'll be more than happy to oblige.

 

[Kartman]

They don't care about you.

Accept that and be at peace...

 

[Stubio]

The minium wage bump always happens after the yearly review so Target can cancel out your raise instead of adding onto it.
If you want to get an actual nice payraise when the minimum wage increases....be a higher paygrade than minimum wage.

 

[TTB]

So the big question is...how much is the paygrade going to be for "specialty" since they are being condensed....will it be 50 cents or one dollar?

 

[Kartman]

I'm betting NOT the latter.

 

[Redzee]

Fifteen bucks an hour. Welcome to your fifteen hour workweek.

 

[TTGOz]

all I know is, if my yearly raise is bumped to $11 and nothing extra just because it's the new starting wage, I'm gonna be a little bit mad. If anything, I hope I get the new base pay of $11 + my first yearly raise + 2nd raise. I have zero idea on how any of this works because I've never actually been at any job long enough to experience this so I'm probably getting worked up over nothing. I just hope there's a discreptancy between the new starting wage and the wage I already get. I've been here for two years so I shouldn't be getting the new starting pay lol.

In the end, I'm sure many employees need a reason to actually leave Target, and this would be the reason. I always talk about how I want to get out of Spot, but I don't actually hate it, I love it, but I've got financial needs and it is kind of BS when you're back at starting wage after two years, the more I think about it, it's a raise but it's kind of a kick in the ass, I shouldn't be worried about what other people get paid at my job, but in this case, I think I have an obligation to be kind of like "Uh, hello?" if the worst does happen and I get a sweet 75c bump to $11. I hope I get the whole $1 raise of $11.25 an hour, since I'm at $10.25 atm.

 

[redcardmachine]

I make 35 cent more than I did when I started 2 years ago I make 10.35

I'm thinking one dollar, totally unconfirmed though. They can't lower TPS, signing and receiver (Can they) so I am thinking it will be one dollar over base.

The minium wage bump always happens after the yearly review so Target can cancel out your raise instead of adding onto it.

This practice ended. They do minimum wage bumps usually in February and review raises come in april. This raise is immediate so no it will not be cancelled out next year's raises.

I hope I get the new base pay of $11 + my first yearly raise + 2nd raise.

You are getting exactly 11. Rather than get worked up be happy you make more than you did a year ago. The people who should be pissed are the ones getting no raise.

Yup, last time it negated five years of raises. My newest team member had been with us two months and made the same. Then got a better merit raise as well. After six years of busting ass he makes more than I do after a year. Mad isn't a strong enough word. I was nuclear angry.

Lol the STL said you guys know how to explain it to your tms.

 

[Targetelect]

I started at 8 dollars an hour 3 years ago, I've been at 11 an hour since earlier this year. I've been lucky with raises.

 

[TTGOz]

Pretty much, like I said it's still a raise... it's a huge raise, actually, but I'm right back at the starting wage. I no longer have that wage that puts me from the inexperienced to the experienced. I feel super horrible for the people who already make more than the $11-$15 just from years of work and raises at spot and won't see a single cent of the new wages coming out. The whole thing just reeks of shit. I get to boast at my yearly review "Oh I got a HUGE 75cent raise" but guaranteed any new TMs that are brought in from seasonal positions to regular positions are about to make more than me after a few months of cashiering at their yearly review because they're already at $11. I'm not sure if all wages get bumped up to $11 right at October 1st, or if it's built into your yearly review, in that case, I may still have some hope if I get it bumped to $11 in a few days. But if not, I'm officially being screwed out of some sort of money when the new seasonal workers are getting $11 and I'm still at $10.25 for the rest of the year + 4 months of next year lol

It just stinks, is all, and I'm sure you'll understand that. My goal isn't to burden any HRtms or ETLs with this because it's more personal than anything. I realize if it bothers me that much, I'm free to leave, no one's asking for me to stay, but it still just stinks. Just when you think you've got some value in a company, you remember no one cares about you, and you're just a statistic on a chart somewhere. It's life, and sooner or later I'll do something about it, but for now, I'm gonna mope.

I'm just assuming for the worst, it's my mind's defense mechanism. I know I've got some value in my store, but company level, I'm just another worker and no one really cares what my life situation is(the way it should be)

I'm trying to not sound as condescending as possible, because I love everyone here and I don't wanna start arguments lol. If I haven't reiterated enough, it just stinks if things are about to go as I'm predicting or being told it will.

 

[Kartman]

I'm just trying to look at it as a raise and not read much more into it.

There is no use in pondering over it because there is nothing I can do anyway.

GO TEAM.

Haha can't put lipstick on a pig.

Your raise will start in October
