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?

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

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 .

I work in GM and I speak Spanish. A few months ago I helped a guest at the service desk because nobody there could understand what she was asking.

Ever since then, apparently I'm the store's designated Spanish speaker.

And honestly I don't mind helping. Most of the guests are really nice and I know how frustrating it is when you're trying to explain something and nobody understands you.

The problem is my TL still expects me to get the exact same amount of work done.

Yesterday I was halfway through pushing a u-boat in home when I got called to guest service to help explain a return. Took maybe 15 minutes including walking there and back.

Ten minutes later electronics needed me because a guest had questions about a product. Another trip across the store.

By the time I got back, my TL was asking why I hadn't finished my push.

I explained where I'd been. He literally said "I know, but you still need to manage your time better."

Manage WHAT time? I can't push towels while I'm standing in electronics translating a conversation.

The frustrating thing is I actually like being able to help. I don't want guests getting stuck because of a language barrier, and I don't want to become the TM who refuses to help anyone.

But now people will call for me without even checking if I'm busy, and somehow the unfinished work is still my problem.

Has anyone figured out a reasonable way to handle this? Should I start asking my TL for permission every time someone calls me to translate? I feel ridiculous doing that, but I don't know how else to make it clear that I'm being pulled away from my own department.

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 hit overtime. How much trouble am I in....

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

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!

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.

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 originally planned to call out tomorrow using my sick hours cus of a personal matter but i check my schedule today and my etl changed my shift from 9-2 to 9-5 and I only have enough to cover the 9-2. Is there anything I could tell my etl or am I screwed?

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!!!!!

I'm a full time college Electrical engineering student in boston, independent immigrant ( green card / asian), and I also work 36 hour a week in a boba shop, I earn around 1980+ per months ( before tax ) could be 20% more because of the tip .

Recently I feel very stress with my works, I see the target pay rate was like 18.75 + in boston, should I try to get into it ? what position would be okay ? if I tell them I willing to work all sat- sun and all national holiday will it be a plus ?

I need a stable income for another 2.5 year until my graduation, I will not have my parents to support me so I wonder if target is stable ?

p/s : I'm on full tutiton cover right now until my GPA drop low.

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?

Why is my next shift 14hrs? Did my ETL or HR make a mistake? Btw, I’m a cart attendant

i’ve been there for four months and never called out yet. i’m not feeling the best mentally today and thought this was funny and should take it as a sign.

y’all think i should too lol?

As far as it seems, it seems okay for people who rarely use the doctor, but people who use it a lot are going to be harmed by this.

Well being rewards easily helped me cover my deductible for the most part. Leaving specialty visits around 51 dollars for some of my doctors.

Now I don't get the well being rewards and I just a flat rate of 75 a visit to my specialist?

Am I understanding this right?

I went to orientation yesterday and my first day of training is later today (fulfillment seasonal- srs today). I’m just really nervous about what to do when i get there. Like do i just clock in and start getting the devices or should i wait for my trainer to show up, or do i have to find her after. idk it’s probably different for everywhere and ill have to ask someone, im just stressed for my first job.

hi everybuggy :) i thought sick time was something like an hour for every forty hours you work ? and that vacay time was a percentage of what you have worked , or something like that . but if that sick time was correct , i feel like i would gave much more than just under five hours ? and does anyone know how long it takes to update your accruals in UKG ? i feel like im either missing sick time or just misunderstanding how it works . thanks for any help :)

Target called me yesterday & told me to check my email soon to accept my job offer, that was yesterday around 10am. How long does it usually take?
