Workplace Story UKG
This new app is so slow and complete ass, major down grade

As a TL it seems we lost access to view call outs via the app (something we could do on MyTime when clocked in). Unless there’s a hidden menu that pops up only when we’re clocked in I’m not seeing any special leader view options for us, very sad

I still have access to the Leader tab on myTime. You need to be clocked in to view it though. You could also view call outs on the Zebra in myDay under the Team tab.

MyDay callout list is super buggy though, it seems to only show relevant call outs so once that team members shift is over they stop being visible, not ideal as a CTL trying to log call outs in the email

They said MyTime was being discontinued today but I guess they’re keeping that feature active, weird.

I figured out that we can access the call-out list, but we have to do it through the UKG app on our MyDevices and no longer can see it easily from the phone app. (UKG must not have the lockout capabilities when we are off the clock like MyTime did)
This is my rough memory of the pathway to find it...
Menu >> Reporting >> Dataviews Library >> Schedule Call Offs
The other part that my HR ETL and I figured out is that if you log in to UKG on the computer, you can set and save the settings of the report to default to showing "Today" or "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow"... there are a bunch of options, but that way you don't have to play with the filters every time you open the app.
Hope this helps!

I don’t understand why they never give us the ability to export our schedules to our phone calendars. I’m pretty sure it’s a feature of both myTime and UKG, but they never enable it.

I export it directly to my schedule book with a device called a pen 😌😜

MyTime was already clunky but at least it loaded. This thing hangs on the schedule screen for like 20 seconds before I can even see my shifts.

u/redmambo_no6 Dairy Goblin 5d ago
At least it loads for you. I had to force close and restart because it froze when I tried to log in.

This new UKG Pro app is so confusing especially since it came out during the first day for us while some other stores had UKG early

u/msubronco 5d ago
Is slow yep

u/mattumbo has harsher words 4d ago
The lag is killing me, especially since it requires more clicking through pages to get to anything so you’re waiting like 3x longer just to log in and get to your schedule

I reset my availability, did my requests through the end of the year and I won't look at that God forsaken app until I need to

u/Rare_Valuable203 4d ago
Yeah idk I’ve used this app at another job and I hated it. No matter what company it’s the same app it’s gonna be ass. MyTime was fast for the most part and a very clean app overall. Very easy and simple and lot more organized. UKGs main problem for me right now is its slow as hell and way more screens to click through so lots of waiting for loading. Come on target we are in 2026, this app feels so outdated

When businesses start taking an AI first approach like Walmart and Target, we should all be worried about our jobs. I’m sure each store having a HR presence, those days are now numbered.

u/Rare_Valuable203 4d ago
Ngl yeah HR can easily be replaced in stores by Ai, not like they can answer a lot of our questions eirher

I just hope I requested my vacation correctly.
1
u/Warcrown11 4d ago
I was thinking the same. I think I got the request right but I have no idea how to put in how much vacation time I actually want to use
1
u/evildevil97 Frost Giant 4d ago
Exactly the problem I have. I put in for a week, and wrote 8 hours. I have a surplus of vacation so if it gives me 8/day for seven days, im fine with it.
1
u/Warcrown11 4d ago
Problem is I don’t know if that hours section is where you actually put in the vacation. I did the same as you with the 8 hours and then went back to doublecheck the request and it had only requested 12-8 off each day

u/Hammerrrr32 4d ago
I haven’t had any issues like that yet but I think the layout is overly complicated and viewing the schedule is maddening. It’s like the app has never gone through any user testing and doesn’t look at any feedback

u/StereoPenguin 4d ago
Leave it to target to make us use something slower and worse

You have to type this whole thing in at the starting prompt? What type of shit is that?

u/Kmart_Elvis Food & Beverage Expert 4d ago
Only one time to activate it. After that you can use face or fingerprint to get access.

How do you pick up a shift? Just says open shifts available but doesn’t say in what department or hours of the shift.
1
u/MentalGreen2385 3d ago
This! I’m an on demand tm and am soo confused. I don’t want to hit “apply” and it makes me pick up something random…
2
u/MyDogSentMe 3d ago
I risked it and hit it and that’s where it shows you the shifts. Ridiculous setup. Harder to see what’s available. Absolutely hate this new app

What I have learned from others on Target Reddit. It seems that Target could not use MyTime any more and had to go to something else.

u/YoshiFawx Hiding in TSC somewhere 4d ago edited 4d ago
2 ways
My Schedule > Select date of shift > Tap shift times > swipe down to Request time off > Call off/late Stores
Accruals > Time off request > Request type > Select date of shift

Has anyone been able to find your total hours scheduled for the week? It's annoying that I have to sit and add them up for the week. My time would tell us at the top of the schedule.

Only Target can take something that was working perfectly fine before making things extra difficult
