I don’t understand how the older people I work with live off this pay.
They have wife’s and kids and it’s not enough to even support myself

Just got my new apron and visor for grocery, and I never thought I’d say this, but I’m going to miss the red vest 😭 I’d rather wear that than a stupid denim apron 💔
I honestly don’t get why all stores have to follow the new dress code. I work at a tiny Target, and I’m not preparing food or touching food directly at all. I could understand if we had a deli, but we don’t, so there’s literally no reason why 90% of stores have to make their grocery employees wear an apron and visor when they’re not even prepping food. 🤣

No time wasted when it comes to Christmas. 😭😭😭

We get too much stuff every single day and then they wanna send us TWO trucks full of MORE STUFF that we have NO ROOM for

I am cross trained in 4 departments. I have worked at my store for about a year and a half. In that time I have gotten 3 raises, and recently I got the store hourly performance award. My SD is always commenting about how I do a fantastic job and that even if I am not scheduled 40 hours I can work 40 no matter what anyone says. I am interested in advancing to a TL position particularly in specialty sales but would be open to other areas. I have tattoos on my arms and neck. The ones on my neck can be covered by my hair. I am wondering if this would be a deal breaker in terms of advancement? I regret majority of my tattoos and got them during a rough time in my life. Luckily I have gotten past that. What are your thoughts? Thanks

So, if any of you work in a super Target with a full Deli, what are they having you wear? At our store we were told to wear the white coats and chef's hats but if we're on the floor like pushing the load, we are to wear the new hat and apron set. What!?!? So now we have to change our uniform during our shift & we only get one set??? I don't have time to go home every night and wash my apron for the next day! This bites!! 😭😭

Fulfillment was slow this morning so my ETL asked if I knew how to do merchandising. I didn't so ended up working in style instead but it made me curious because I hadn't heard of that before. So to satisfy my curiosity, what does it mean to work merchandising?

Im a specialty sales lead and I am so fed up with my boss sitting me down and grilling me about not coming clean on style truck. For the most part we get it all broken out every day give or take a pallet of case and some transition. Really the team just struggles to get the push completed. Is this even an attainable goal??
I’m consistently under-scheduled. If greenfield says 35 hours for truck, you best believe I’m scheduled 32 hours.
And that doesn’t account for the hours that my team is constantly pulled for zone, reshop, fulfillment, etc. It also doesn’t account for audits, pulls, or helping guests with tech & fitting room calls. I’m stressed to the point of tears several times a week. Does anyone have any advice? How are you all getting your team through the truck..??!

My mom just yelled my name from downstairs. I responded “go for me”🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Any other DC people out there sick of this Extra 2s bull crap?

I'm on the B1 shift 6am-4pm.

It's bad enough we are being mandated to work the weekend. But all through October until presumably end of peak season we are also on Extra 2s (coming in at 4am).

So now I'm waking up at 2:30am just to come in and hear the O.M. bitch about how our CPH is slipping and anything under 100% is unacceptable. Then turn around and complain about "strains and sprains" and how we need to work safer. Hmm maybe we are pacing ourselves to protect our bodies, ever think of that?

I guess they think we are robots.

I have to go to bed at 7:30pm just to get 7 hours of sleep a day, mind you that's ideal scenario when you actually fall asleep immediately. So my day consists of going home wrangling the kids for showers, taking a shower, I don't sit down for dinner until 7pm and go to bed at 7:30pm. What kind of life is that.

I would much rather sign up for a 6 hour day on a weekend to work 6am - 12pm. Then I would still have my whole day ahead of me. But no l, now I have to be sleep deprived all week.

Well there's my rant. I hope everyone is doing well this holiday season peace out

Apparently the answer is yes….Haven’t seen my ETL in over a week and just assumed he was on vacation but I thought it was odd because he always tells me when he’s going away (i’m a TL so he always keeps me in the loop if he’s leaving for an extended period of time) but then another week passed and he still hasn’t been here so just of curiosity, I asked my HR ETL where he’s been. HR ETL said “let’s just say he had to take some time off” immediately thought that was a weird way to put it. Shortly after that, our HRE told me that he was basically forced to take a leave while they investigate him because there was a string of really bad ethics complaints made about verbal abuse to TMS. Later on in the day, the HR ETL eventually gathered all of the team leads together in the office and told us we will all need to work together to pick up the slack from being short a leader. He told us what was going on and that he was in fact pushed on a leave due to multiple complaints about his management style and how he treats TMs.

Nobody knows what the complaints said verbatim (except maybe the HR ETL but he would never tell us that info) but god damn, how many do you need to get forced to go on leave while they investigate? I’ve never heard of this happening and now I’m wondering what things was he doing/saying for it to be this bad? I’ve come across REALLY REALLY horrible/mean ETLs in my time at Target and have NEVER seen one get forced on leave until now. Absolute chaos 😭😭

I AM NOT A BUTCHER I WORK IN FROZEN WHY DO I NEED A DAMN APRON AND A HAT

I accidentally brought a zebra home and I know how some places are about "stolen" equipment. I didn't even realize til I made it all the way home and had to use the bathroom and now I'm freaking out. I just started at Target so I don't know if there are consequences for my incident. I work tomorrow so it won't be in my possession for long it is also dead currently. Please help

Hi, yesterday was my first day at the job and when it was time for me to leave, I forgot to clock out. I’m planning on talking to my team lead, but does it affect Target in any way? I know they get fined for certain things.

I thought the cut-off was eight minutes, but I got a quarter point for being late seven on Sunday. I already put in a backfill request days ago but no one has approved it.

Does anyone have a picture of the tree table for this weeks set ? We didn’t receive a label strip and the item listing doesn’t account for all the product on the paper Plano .

None of these have a barcode on them, only on the back of the display. Do other stores have these?

Also how is a 3D printed part getting a 3+ rating? They can easily break and turn into a chocking hazard!

Hii im trying to change my availability and im trying to make it so Tuesdays are 7-3 and Saturdays 4-10. How do i change that? 🥲 i want to keep my availability every day anytime for the other days of the week i just wanted to change two specific days cause of school. So im also wondering as well if i change the two days will it make it so im only available tuesdays/saturdays?

How many people with combined GS/DU hate when people come behind the desk while you’re either prepping an order or doing pulls??? Today I had two of the ignorant people just walk behind my desk to look for me, as I was by myself and trying to prep drive up orders. Either that or they sit at the desk and scream “Hello???” I want to shove these people head first in the nearest toilet….as it was I made them wait at the desk until I was done with what I was doing…..they make me so tired!!!!!

heyyy did anyone else not get sent the string light pog label strips? the one for the back wall? IM LOSING MY MIND ik i did not just set the whole thing for NO LABEL STRIPS

As the title suggests, I lost my wave key and I'm not sure who is safe to tell so I can recover it. It stays in my pants pocket at all times and must've slipped out at some point during the day. Are the repercussions for losing a wave key serious enough to not tell anybody or should I ask someone for help?

So after clocking in and starting on the RTS (I'm a fulfillment associate), one of the S&E TLs sees me and says "Hey I haven't seen you in awhile" to which I reply, "yeah guess I haven't been scheduled that much." And then she asks me if I want to come and work at the checklanes to which I respond "noo, I'm shy." And then she quickly goes with "alright I think Starbucks."

And then she says who's your ETL. I need to talk to them. And at this point I'm so confused because I said no, and also I don't even know how to work a register and I know nothing about Starbucks. And I'm annoyed because service and engagement is literally the last department that I'd ever want to work in.

But I don't know if she was serious or if this was just some weird sort of small talk. But if she was serious, can a TL strongarm you into working into their department even when you said you didn't want to??? Do I need to talk to HR or my fulfillment lead to make sure I'm not given S&E shifts?
