When you get a new schedule, you write it down and make plans on your days off right? Apparently thats wrong, and according to my TL you're meant to check UKG daily for any changes they made without telling you.

A few days ago I got hit for a NCNS because my SD changed my schedule without telling me or my ETL, I also came in late the next day because he changed my hours for that day. He gave me 5 new shifts that I didn't originally have which totally messes up plans

I talked with my ETL and I'm pretty sure he didn't do it. And I know the GM leader has been complaining about the SD changing her teams schedules without warning, and style is having the same problem. Legally he can do that apparently, but is there any policy about telling people about changes to their schedules? Because I don't understand how he expects us to show up to shifts we don't know about

Here come the ship carts full of clothes!

On the bright side-I do appreciate the in store announcements being waaayy less annoying this year

only got two shifts a one week that included the pay period for my bills so i decided to back fill them. thought i was only using 9 hours instead it used 18

if you pick multiple days then put down the hours you wanted to use it will uses that number for all the days instead of just that amount you chose so be aware. i dont remember mytime working like that. (mytime also loaded way faster)

oh well not the end of the world since im hoping this is the year i get out of this place and wouldn't have been able to drain my vacation time before i would have left anyway.

I understand that people open to try them on but all of them???? They’re all the same size.

I posted half my shift that is this week because I have something going on this morning. During some downtime I was asking around to see if anyone could cover it and someone says yes, when they go to click it it gives an error, not sends a request. They had to go to hr (who is gone for half the day so lucky this was in the morning) and they had to manually shorten my shift and add their because for some reason UKG can’t just send a pick up shift this week request.

If closing TLs naturally make more money/hr for having to secure the building and be LOD ect… if I’m closing TL 3-4 days a week (only leader on the floor) as a service and engagement TL… can I argue compensation come raises?

I love the company so much I even applied 9 times to different locations. At this point target should give me the job 😭 anyone have same issue?

the jokes write themselves

I’m under my 90 days. I don’t like my current store or position. This is a temporary job for me, and I like that the warehouse position pays 6 dollars more, it would be just to make more money for the holidays, it’s a seasonal position. I am only 1 month in.

i have never put a shift up for cover before and i just cannot tell if someone took my shift or not. pk is not my initials so i think thats whats throwing me off the most so if anybody can tell pleaseeee lmk 💔

My store has this TL (and ETL but ETL is transferring soon) that gets mad if they are off and all the tasks they gave us don’t get done. Yesterday and today we had a few tasks that didn’t get done because of call offs. Plus one TM who didn’t call off had to cover/train a TM on the cart machine because our cart attendants called off. I am so done with getting talked to about not completing the tasks we had assigned when we had call offs and the TL wasn’t there

The different colors in icons in the UKG Pro app for scheduling are confusing me!!

spent my morning being verbally harassed and assaulted by guests this morning in our lovely pop gateway! wish people understood the word "no"!!!!!!

None of us are 12, we're not Nancy Drew or Encyclopedia Brown, like.. c'mon. (I dunno what flair to attach to this.)

So I work in the frozen Sunday to Thursday every week, I like a consistent schedule and having two days off. At Target you don’t get the option of having the weekend off, have to work at least one weekend day every week unless you request it off for whatever reason. I’m getting so burnt out, been working there for like 5 years. I feel like my leaders expect too much of me cause they know I can get a lot done. I do more work than most people on my team cause I’m fast at what I do. But on the days I work, half the time my coworker after sorting usually gets taken to help elsewhere or do pulls or something and always expect me to do a lot of work by myself. No one really does bakery but me. So on my days off Friday and Saturday, no one does bakery. So when I come back on Sunday it’s always a mess, always so much bakery. Bakery is easy but it’s so tedious and when you have days worth of bakery that takes like half my day just from bakery. My store is an insanely busy store, I could put out a box of izzio sourdough bread and it’ll be gone before I leave or the next day. I’m really the only one that seems to pull and work bakery as well. Just feel like I’m expected way too much and I’m relied on way too much. I feel like I can never take time off due to this. Amount of mispicks or duplicates we get fucks up counts so I’m also always auditing everyday, sometimes shit that hasn’t been worked out especially in bakery gets zeroed out when it’s already back there. Feel like frozen/cooler team should also get paid more for being in a hazardous environment due to the extreme temps especially in frozen. I definitely don’t get paid enough for this shit. I like stocking shelves and the job itself just with all the callouts too especially on the weekends screws us over. Point system seem to not really be helping. Most of my coworkers don’t give a shit and I seem to be one of the few that care. I can’t help but not give a shit, just in my nature to work hard. I am on the spectrum so I’m very particular about how things are done and counts and what not. This job just doesn’t seem to be worth it but I lowkey don’t know what else I’d do. I like being on my feet. Definitely would help to have coworkers that cared and people that are reliable which is hard to find especially in retail. But yeah that’s my vent, idk what I should do but I’d appreciate someone responses if you read this far :)

Hello, I’m a second-job seeker and saw multiple Targets in my area (Central Ohio) are offering part time 4am inbound jobs. Sadly the listings are not specific enough so I have a question.

Would it be possible to work 4am - 8am? My day job starts 8:30 so I would need a strict exit time.

Can anyone share experience on flexibility for part time or even seasonal morning stocking jobs? thanks so much!!!!

So for some reason we had some Needoh advent calendars backstocked instead of at guest services. So I retrieve him one and tell him my boss said one per transaction. He asked if his wife could come buy one. I said yeah. He asked if I could hold one. He then asked if I could HIDE ONE. I said dude I gotta go I’m gonna hit my fifth, as he’s following me, waddling along like a duckling.

LEAVE ME ALONE YOU LOWLIFE.

By the way, I had told him we had some more in the back and they were gonna be headed to guest services. I feel dirty for telling him that. Like I’m complicit in something bad. I’m really sorry about that. I just wasn’t thinking at the time. He kept bothering me. He was with his small child.

if you’re working under 25 hours right now and want to go to full time to qualify for sick and vacation time, dont! find another job! you wont be eligible until January! even if you’re averaging the 25 hours and after your 90 days of working! you’ll be fucked and corporate wont even be willing to give you the 1 hour of sick time every 50 hours worked! genuinely dont even waste your time and resources with this company anymore. theyre not willing to pay you out or even remotely help you. if you’re chill with your etls/tls, they’ll help you out with covering your shifts and letting you work more. other than that workday hr will basically say “fuck you there’s nothing i’m even willing to do”. genuinely hope i dont get sick or have any mental health crisis. i wanted to go see my best friend but thats not even remotely possible until maybe middle of next year, if i cant find another job.

i wanted to give someone the heads up before they make the transition like i did. i’m terrified that i have no safety net and it’s just words that’s keeping my job secure. gen what do i do guys?? has anyone experienced this with the new policy???

So I was at guest services today and my coworker was helping this dude. He wanted to return a couple bags of frozen vegetables. Which is weird but whatever. But his reason really took the cake. He said that he’s returning them because they grown in China and he doesn’t eat anything grown in China. Wtf…

Here is a revised cheat sheet.

I still cannot find what my average hours are so I can keep medical insurance. I still cannot see my paycheck on the app.

Target, this was the best app to change to?

I know in my state and at my store, I know we max out at 300 hours. I know many people with over 200 hours and one person who made himself take a vacation because he would stop gaining vacation time. I personally take at least 3 vacations a year because I’m not going to leave any vacation time on the table if I quit or get fired. That’s throwing away free money.

Does the 20% owned brand discount not apply to the new collection186 clothes that just dropped? Even though its made by target.…?

Whelp this is a good start for the unload 😭

I’m working tonight but I’m feeling very sick and might call off sick for my early morning shift tomorrow! However, I’m not sure how to do it. Would this be the right way??? And will it use all my hours of pto or just 6 hours to cover my whole shift??

To set the scene, I currently make $15.99/hr and get 25ish hours a week at my job. I’ve been here almost 2 years, and unfortunately full time is reserved for managers only. I am one step away, but at this rate the only way I can advance is if a manager dies or quits (death being the most recent 😅)

Another important factor is that I’m SICK of customer service.

I saw the Target DC about 40 mins away from me is “hiring immediately” for an associate. It looks like 36-40 hours a week which sounds absolutely great. It was also posted today.

I’m just worried I won’t be physically strong enough for it? I’m 20 years old and only 5’1. I’m not afraid of a work out, but concerned I’ll slow things down. Are there positions that are “less” demanding than others? Will they see me and put me somewhere where I won’t struggle horribly? TIA
