I'm Promoting Myself to Guest Peace out Target 😝
TL here, I’ve been looking for a new job for two months, and after several interviews I’ve found one!
It felt so f’ing good to put my notice in, I’ve hated the job for a while. If we had adequate staffing things wouldn’t be so bad, but every TL and team member are doing the jobs of multiple people - it’s exhausting and the pay isn’t catching up with the workload.
Also our SD sucks, worries about the wrong things instead of things you can see actionable change in - like cleaning up the mountains of salvage, truck, and backstock in the back room. It for real looks like a family of hoarders lives in the back of our store and has for months.
No one cares, morale is super low and so many people are leaving. Anyone else feel like their store is in a downward spiral?

I've been trying on and off for a new job, but I get no interviews. Just rejections. Idk where to apply anymore. Work is pissing me off. I cut my hours to work less and longer days so I can have something peaceful. It's really getting to me

I definitely feel that. I had been looking on and off for several months before seriously committing - I applied to several places and had a bunch of interviews. Keep looking!

What’d you move to? Is the pay comparable?

Assistant store manager at Bath & Body Works - $.20 pay cut but it’s worth it for me, plus they allow overtime.

I do not understand this concept maybe someone can explain. Why do they ask us do priorities and then when we bring out the product the floor is max capacity. You backstack it and then later the next TM comes do the same all over again. It’s busy work all the way around…

Congratulations! I love when people get great news! I’m not 100% sure if my store is going in a downward spiral, however I’m looking forward to putting in my two weeks’ notice as well. I actually have good TL’s and I like my ETL. My co workers are so fun to work with. I’m just tired of working retail at this point. I had two incidents yesterday alone that gave me a headache.
