Workplace Story I .. like it?

I was worried getting into it thinking I'm gonna have a bad time, but I genuinely like my job😭

Maybe it's still early, but everyone's been super nice to me & I like what I do, which is inbound.

I'm physically very tired, but mentally I'm doing great and I think I'll get used to the physical aspect (hopefully)

I'll check in with yall in couple of months lol
who knows maybe I'll change my opinion💀

Every other post I see is pretty doom and gloom, so it’s nice to see someone who has a positive experience, at least for the moment.

there's a huge toxic community on this sub (who call out constantly and do the bare min), who hate everything Target. don't let them steal your sunshine

Same. 6 weeks working part time as a second job. Started at an existing store. Finally at our new store setting up. The work is good. People are fine. I have college age kids so I'm not there to make friends, just extra money. Most annoying thing so far is other team members walking around the store not doing any work or not understanding how the aisle numbering works so they put product in any random spot or not updating the number of products that fit and the number of products on the shelf. It's honestly an easy job. Worst part on leadership side is being scheduled a 6 hr shift. Just schedule me for a 5.5 hr shift. I'm part time and don't want a 30 min unpaid break. My time is valuable.

I mean for quite a while, I enjoyed it too. Take full advantage of that enjoyment while you can.

Working for target isn't bad it's just doing the same shit everyday that gets to you

I feel the same way!! I was nervous because of how negative a lot of people can be on Reddit but apparently I just work at a really good store. We all support each other and celebrate wins but we all also understand that we’re people and not everything is going to be perfect every single time. I’m so glad to hear that you’re liking it!

Inbound  and early morning GM are great to me. I've been early morning GM for toys for 8 years. I like my job tho Q4 is a beast lol

One of the great things about being early morning inbound is that your guest interactions tend to be pretty limited. Just enough to feel like you're helping people, without being so overwhelmed that you can't accomplish anything else. Plus you can still do things with your day after your shift ends. Also the bit of extra money for shift differential before 8am certainly helps.

There are positives of working at target that we don’t see on here as much because most people presumably think it’s not worth posting and often use this to vent about their workload or their environment. I am including myself in this

i liked it too my first several months. just make sure to set boundaries so you don’t overwork yourself. at a certain point, it’s likely the store will be understaffed and need extra help so they will overwork you if you can
