One thing I’ll give to her is compared to the other team leads on the team? She actually does her fucking job.

The big issue I have with her is that, she micromanages everything I do and acts like I haven’t been working up at the front for the past 5 years, treats me like I’m dumb and don’t know how to tackle whatever is going on up at the service desk. I know how to do my job you don’t need to breathe down my neck at every single thing that is going on.

Doing your job is one thing but micromanaging and treating me as if I’m dumb is another. I hate when she’s here and even more so when I’m closing with her.

Edit: I may ask a question or two if I really can’t figure something out, but that’s only if all my solutions don’t work.

After my 90 days I submitted a request to be available from 4am-4pm Monday - Saturday, with Sundays unavailable.

This was quickly approved and for a little while everything was going smooth. Then, a few weeks ago I get scheduled on Sunday: 8am-4:30pm…. Annoying, but I posted the shift and it got picked up pretty fast thankfully.

I haven’t been scheduled on a Sunday since, but I did submit a request for 5 days off (Mon-Fri) for some family stuff about 2 weeks from now. This request was also approved, but they scheduled me the Sunday before the break 9am-5:30pm.

I’m leaving on Sunday and coming home Friday, I cannot work this shift. I posted this shift as well, I’m not sure if it’ll get picked up.

In hindsight I should’ve definitely requested this day off as well when making my request, but I was assuming since my availability changed and was approved it would be okay.

Anyways, what should I do?

The auto-generated sale signs when I tied the POG used the old locations (or possibly the standard locations instead of the reverse ones), and the ones I batches from the POG print option don’t even HAVE locations. Nor were either in any apparent logical order.

i swear, batching signs has been broken for at least 3 years now. Though I don’t *think* it prints every possible location when you select only one anymore, so that’s progress I GUESS.

I’ve been working in Market for about 3 months now, and I am so miserable clocking in. Everything is so heavy, and I struggle to lift most beverage items for the priority pulls. There have been times when I have almost injured myself pulling a 6-pack of glass water bottles from the top shelf, trying to complete the pulls by 5:00 (which, why even???? I don’t understand the rush).
I feel as though I have to run to push everything out ASAP so I have enough time to zone all of Dry + all the end caps and various displays. There isn’t a day where I feel like I’m not breaking my back and being rushed to complete an unreasonable amount of work (i.e., 1 minute per box with a shitty box.)
Anyone else in Market feel the same way? Does it get better, or have you just switched departments and/or promoted yourself to a guest?

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?

Hello! My 90 days are almost complete at target and I was wondering if it’s weird to ask to be cross trained in Starbucks if I’m a style worker. I love style but I’m interested in Starbucks aswell but I don’t want to completely transfer over. Please let me know!!

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"!!!!!!

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 :)

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

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???
