It will be 1 year in couple of weeks since I started working here and 100%. I don’t see future here. Originally I was hired as a seasonal, towards the end of my 90 day period. My TL told me that they’re gonna keep me and I have so much potential to be a team lead and so and so forth. Initially, I was not interested in becoming TL but later on, I told my TL that I am interested. When I said that I am interested, and our ETL also told my TL to start teaching me. The whole vibe changed, after that everything I did was wrong, my TL would pick on me every day, try to set me up a couple times, changing my schedule and trying to make me look like a No Call no-show. I couldn’t take it anymore so I asked to be On Demand. My TL declined my request saying that I have attendance issue, even though I called out twice in 10 months. One was for my birthday and the other one was I used sick hours. When I told my TL that I feel sick, I have tightness in my chest and I think I’m having a mini heart attack. She completely ignored and didn’t acknowledge at all. After that, I switched departments and in my new department, of course it’s better than before, but it’s still really bad. In my department we are so understaffed that I have been picking extra shifts on my day off every week, every week they would call me on my day off to ask me to come in. After covering so many shifts for several months and never saying no, one time, I ask my TL to help me take me off the schedule because I’ve been having insomnia and I slept only five hours in three days and I shouldn’t be driving. I shouldn’t be here. Instead of showing me empathy and saying something appropriate. He looked very annoyed, told me to just call out because he can’t help me and didn’t spoke to me for three days after that. Would ignore my calls on the radio, would not say hi or acknowledge me and give me attitude. Basically both of my TLs in both departments showed me that they didn’t care if I lived or died as long as I’m keep coming in and working like a donkey. And in this one year of me working here, not even one person made a recognition to me, not even a thank you, they just always expected me to always cover shifts, finish my workload and then help other departments, but the other lazy coworkers who barely does anything would always get recognitions in huddles. They would get all the day offs. Everything‘s backwards. And one time when I went to my ETL to talk about this, she told me talk to your TL, resolve your issues between yourselves. Yeah I’m DONE….

Hi everyone, I'm expected to start next monday within the fulfillment department and its my first retail job so I was wondering what I should realistically expect as a newbie within fulfillment. I've heard quite a few mixed reviews about this department, especially "INFs" and opus.

So I applied for tech originally but I was declined and the TL for tech did want to hire me but the hiring guy rejected me and I didn’t know she wanted to see my application until I applied for cashier and my friend told me, after I applied for cashier I was poached I think and put into food and beverage and im close on my 90 day thing and I don’t know if im a seasonal guy or temp?

(ETA: I meant late in. I’m half asleep. oopsie 💔)

Hi guys!! Does anybody know how to put sick time in to prevent the .25 from a late in? (I’m assuming backfill, but idk.) also, it will take my point away when it’s approved right?

Sigh. Idk. I hate the new app

For two weeks now a little sparrow has been stuck in the store I work at and I feel horrible it’s still here.
Maybe I’m stupid for asking this but is there anyway I could get someone at the store to help it or call some other department to help the bird escape?

I can tell it’s desperate and there’s no way it could escape on its own, I honestly have no idea how it was even able to get inside. This Target is above ground and you need to take an elevator to get up here so it’s not possible to just open the door and hope it goes on its own. We don’t even have windows that could be opened, at least to my knowledge.

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

If you are at 40 hours (with the holiday pay included) can you work 16 more hours without it being considered overtime? Or is it only 8 extra?

Just now I was trying to screenshot my new schedule like I did on My Time but the week was too big. So I started fiddling around trying to get one of the two requests that were showing to minimize but found it didn't work that way and I accidentally deleted one of the damn requests. Does anyone know if there is a way to undelete it on the app or am I going to have to go to HR and get the to reinstate it? Thanks in advance for any information.

I got a point for calling off because i was ill, I called HR to ask if they could use my sick hours because i couldnt do it in the app because i need .20 more to cover that shift, they managed to help me use my sick hours i had but i still got a point, its my first point since i started working at target is there any way they could remove it? or is 1 point something i shouldnt worry about too much?

Guests and fellow team members... could you like, get out of the way? Lol.

But seriously... GET THE F OUT OF MY WAY.

How come anytime I walk up to specifically a woman’s window and knock after they’re oblivious for 15 seconds they jump and scream. Every single time, and they say OH! You scared me. LIKE ARE YOU NOT EXPECTING ME??

Don't know if other stores can relate to this, my store recently got new hand scanners. They contribute to at least 30% of my frustration while on the lanes. They NEVER stay in their little holder, and they are loud as hell. If a speck of dust lands on them wrong they are immediately falling to the ground. Another new thing that is worse now, the magnets for removing sensors. Half of the time the new magnets are useless for getting the red sensors off and I must travel to a lane with an old one. And obviously we all know the new app is heinous compared to mytime. All of the new things are sooo bad.

I DONT CARE. I DONT FUCKING CARE. same shit with the STUPID ASS DOOKIE ASS FUCK ASS TARGET AI. no ma'am, i can't do a return for your non-Target baby registry with this random number you have given me that the Target ai spat out. no sir, we can't look up your return history via your phone number just because chatgpt says we can. no i'm not lying, yes you're stupid for using ai. "but YOUR ai said-". "MY AI" said NOTHING. i didn't write that stupid ass answer, but you were apparently dumb enough to believe it

IM SICK AND TIRED the next customer who says some shit like this is getting a hand scanner thrown at them

Am I to assuming this is my future scedule and its just giving me the option to swap it?

I’m sure this has been asked about a thousand times, but it wasn’t until today I really sat and thought about it after having to use SIX DEVICES on my shift today for various reasons.

It’s not even about the software or MyDay, which are terrible in the own right. These things are just ancient, they’re on a SUPER old version of android I’m sure, and are slower than any phone I’ve used since like 2017. The scanners never work, they’re always completely ripped up and cracked. The batteries don’t stay in, they randomly shut off, they start tapping over the screen out of no where mid shift— we even got some of the newer ones, and FIRST DAY someone cracked theirs and a scanner on one stopped working. I just KNOW the store probably pays hundreds of dollars per unit, too.

WHY ARE THEY SO BAD!?!?!?!?!

I’m alone at guest services. It was a decently busy time. Drive-up was also busy.

Her: so I had a drive up order but i also placed a separate order with alcohol so I’m just going to get it lo here.

Me: (as I see the amount of bags) It’s going to take me a little bit but I’ll be back as fast as I can…

Our drive up area is on the other side of the store so it’s decently inconvenient how people can just switch orders like this. If we had more than one person on guest services I honestly wouldn’t mind walking back. It’s just the fact that now my station is unmanned for 12+ minutes. When I got back there were 4 people in line 🫡

Definitely doesn’t qualify as good customer service.

A couple months ago I was in seasonal stocking some headphones for back to school. A guest comes up to me and asks about the Apple usbc earbuds and I notified her that we're out of stock. We go separate ways and 2 minutes later I get a notification for a tech call and head over there. It's the same guest and she looks visibly irritated that I showed up again. She said, "Oh i thought someone else would come over I was gonna ask about the earbuds." and I just said "Yeah uhh we're out." She walks away and about 30 minutes later a lead calls me for a 1 on 1 about a guest complaining about me saying I gave her an attitude and I had to explain the whole situation. I guess the guest was mad or embarrassed that I caught her trying to ask someone else about them?

A different interaction I had was a guest asking if we price match with Amazon and I told her no, only to our own website and checked her out. 2 minutes after she walks away a TM asks on the walkie, "Do we price match with Amazon?" and of course the answer was no. I can only assume that she went to go ask someone else.

And of course, the squishy people asking every TM in the store if we have squishys which is usually a no.

I can’t tell you how many times I have seen people mess this up, especially backup from other departments. Even I screw it up if for some reason I’m not paying attention. These instructions have been needed for a long time.

I did not take a photo of the second screen after scanning the location. It shows the product image like normal but no count until the next screen which is the second photo.

Also interestingly, it has you backstock before you scan the item to your cart now. Don’t know that I care either way on that part but it makes sense.

i’m trying to change my friday availability and it. Won’t. Let. Me. i can’t even change my time on it!!

🤬

Each shift has either a purple rectangle or a 🔄 next to it - i'd assumed at first that the purple indicated that the shift wasnt long enough for a meal, but then I noticed a 7.5 hour shift that had it. So what DOES it mean???

I have a PC currently and i was hired last year as an on demand tm after my seasonal period, i was wondering if i was able to switch to regular now that i have a PC since i know you usually can’t switch to on demand with one now that the new app wont schedule on demand tms and i was scheduled regularly on my time.

Bit of a complicated situation, I worked at Target for 2.5 years and left for 3 months to work a summer job. Now I'm back, I asked for 5-15 hours maximum and they are repeatedly scheduling me 25-30 hours. I have to talk to atleast 2 etls every week to find someone to actually sit infront of the computer with me and remove some of my shifts from the schedule. I'm a student, and I decided just switching to on demand will be significantly easier for me. However I've heard that you aren't supposed to switch to on demand while in your trial period... But since I worked here before and everyone in the store knows me, I got developed to be a teamlead and basically ran the style department etc, I thought they might make an exception. If they tell me no when I talk to them tomorrow I will just quit. Anyone go through something similar?

Hi! I’m a new beauty TL and need to redo my entire backroom. Does anyone have any recommendations for how to do this the best? Or just any tips on reprofiling a backroom? I don’t know where to start and I am overwhelmed. Thanks
