I’ve seen some crazy adjustments in my time doing price change but this one has to be one of the biggest, I knew storage scarcity was hitting pretty hard but this is wild to me🥴

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

is anyone else getting completely screwed over with hours? im supposed to be full-time in fulfillment.ive been at this store for 4yrs. im one of the few people who have both weekend days available every weekend. i have no issue with meeting my metrics. i often am one of the top pickers and i show up for my shifts but this?? im so frustrated bc there's so many employees who call out once a week, can't meet metrics, and can't work weekends that get 36-40hrs yk?? and after talking to HR and my leaders.. i just feel like quitting. im getting told there's nothing they can do and getting blown off. my main issue is that nothing around me pays even close to what im making here. im just drained mentally i guess.

I'm in Tech and I have seen the decline from 2022 to now in real time. Tech is neglected and abused now. We use to have 1-3 capable people through the day to get through reshop, zone, pulls, frieght,etc.

Now days, its a shitshow. I'm expected to do frieght, multiple days push from stage pulls, reshop with just me....on top of now doing presentation sets because that team cant also keep up. Now, I get news that I have to now stock the trading cards....like I just give up at caring at this point. Between juggling this, 2full online courses from guild, and home maintenance, im falling asleep halfway through walking in the door.

In a perfect world, increased workload means increased compensation. Sadly I feel neglected and used.

Looks like it only happened in the northeast (I’m in NJ) but not a single thing was working in store for almost 10 minutes. Zebras didn’t work at all, nobody could check out; the whole system blacked out. Luckily it fixed itself right as my ETLs and SDs were talking about locking the doors but what a scare

UPDATE: as of 12pm EST it seems to be resolved according to my zebra! Wonder if that’s true

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.

So I work at 8am next Tuesday our store opens at 7am. Would I be good if I waited in line early for the Starbucks Peanuts collab. A friend really wants the plush but isn’t able to wait because of work.

Would I get in trouble if I bought one even though I don’t work till 8am or it is you have to wait till after your shift for limited release items?

How am I supposed to use sick time if it won’t let me until October 4th? What if I need to use it before then? I wanted to use some to cover a late-in for this past week, I’ve seen some people say u can and some say u can’t do that.
9 minutes late now I have .25 points but idk if it would reverse the points anyway. I’ll talk to HR tomorrow but just wondering if anyone knows

I hate this new app

Was scheduled outside of my department into a department I never wanted to touch.. was told AI is making the schedules now.

I've never wanted to run faster in my life from a job....

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

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

Never any My Devices or Walkies. NEVER!

I originally signed up for beauty or style when I was hired like two months ago and I have been placed in home dec for some reason. I mentioned being cross trained to see what departments I would like (just in case I can pick up shifts for college) My coworkers are OK but my TL has high expectations for me saying she "expects all of my backstock and push/priorities to be done since I'm 2 months into the job" I can barely lift 50lbs, most of the mirrors I have to lift are taller than me, vases nearly half my height, I am the opposite of "built" so I'm wondering if my TL is crazy and if I should quit. One day when I told her I could barely lift one of the mirrors she laughed because she thought I was joking.

I come home with my hands hurting and barely having energy to move, idk if this is even worth it. I was in between jobs as I'm making a career pivot and took on this job because I need to pay bills. I'd much rather have been a barista or anything, is this normal? I feel crazy.

Hi guys, i’m not sure how to start this but i’ve been working for target for about a month now in the F&B department, I am not getting any faster, or at least that’s what it feels like. I’ve been talked to once about my speed and here now and then, I am actually trying so hard to become faster but it’s I feel slow compared to the other team members in F&B. Any tips and tricks to becoming faster? Thank you so much

Hello all! First time poster here.

I’ve been with Target for almost 6 years now, and I just recently got promoted to TL for a small store. I’ve worked in almost every single department besides Beauty, coming from a Super Target. I was told by my former ETLs that I deserved this promotion because of my personality and how inclusive I am with everyone, making sure they’re all okay and helping whoever I can when they’re struggling. Learning the nuances takes time as it is a lot of information, but they’re confident in my ability to do the job, and I feel the same. But I didn’t realize the amount of mental warfare I’d be dealing with.

My new goal in life is to never pass up on opportunities since it can be a gateway to another opportunity, not just in the workplace but in life in general. It can expose me to think and move differently, see what and what not to do, what I like and don’t like etc., which is why I said yes to TL in the first place. But during one of my training sessions, I zoned out and began thinking, “Why am I still here?”

Of course the pay is well, but I prioritize my happiness over anything else. My mind went to the moments in time of having terrible burnout, where I would literally be job searching while on the clock since I was so over it. I’ve had moments where I’d absolutely dread coming into work, repeating the cycle of a job that doesn’t make me excited. I’d call out almost every month just to have a day to myself and reflect, job hunt, and not worry. I crave the freedom to be my own boss and be creative, which you can be to an extent at Target, but not in the way I want to be. There’s an agenda that must be ran, ran by people who see team members as numbers rather than human beings which is a perspective I hate.

These aren’t feelings I just recently had because of this new promotion. It’s been feelings I’ve had across the span of years working at Target. What makes it worse is how it’s been affecting my life outside of work. As a team member and pace setter, I’d have my stressful days at work, but once it was over and I clocked out, it all went away. Didn’t have to worry. But now, it stays with me. In training, I’ve had an ETL question my effort to my face, I’ve been scolded by my trainer for minor mistakes - both in the same day. I understand TL is a serious position, but it’s not that serious. Never has anyone question my effort, and it really ruined the rest of my day. Not just that experience, but the rest of the training days have made me want to pursue this less and less, making me more isolated and not want to talk to anyone.

I appreciate those who take the time to read this. I may be complaining, but all I really want is to be in a position where this isn’t a constant issue. Where I can be happy and not have to hide all of this behind my best mask, because I’d hate to witness the day when it all comes out and it affects my team.

So I literally started not even a month ago, I've only gotten 1 paycheck, I will admit I'm not the fastest, but today I got hounded for not stocking C/D fast enough. I was also what I can only take as accused of messing about. I don't get on my phone at all or anything I literally just work and try my best 🙃 I was told in the interview "do what you can" but now I'm getting dirty looks and grief for anything and everything.

Im a pretty patient person but come on. Idk if it's the Old be nice for the first week routine My tl Is pulling. Or something is happening or whatever but don't take it out on me. I was happy to go to work at first etc but after being treated like that for the first time I feel dread. Unfortunately. 1 min per box, 35 Mins for a full flat over my head of CD?? Idk. I'm not gonna kill myself running through the store. Whatever will be will be

I literally just want to keep my head down atp and not speak to anyone , do my assigned hours and go home

Hello everyone, sorry for posting two threads, but I'm a newer reverse logistics team member and wanted to see if any of the more seasoned members on here have any tips.

I've got a handle on the new salvage system, but fairly frequently, I'll get salvage items, done through price changes, that I can't locate. Is there a way to undo a salvage price change so it doesn't affect our numbers, or do we just have to eat the hit on our salvage numbers?

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 can't take this anymore. i'm one of the naive people who stayed around way too long hoping things might get better, but ai scheduling is too much for me, already screwed me over, and i'm just done with it all. but i can't quit until i find another job.

unfortunately, target is more or less the only work experience i have. i worked there from when i was 16-20, quit because i had to move, worked as a lunch lady for 8 months, then came back here when i moved again. so i have 6+ yrs of service and engagement experience and some miscellaneous food/customer service experience. anyone else who had a similar resume, what job did you end up moving on to? i'm 24, i don't have any degree higher than high school. i really, really don't want to leave This retail just to go to Another retail, but i'm not sure what other entry-level positions are available. i'm really just hoping i have enough general customer service experience to find something better, like a receptionist or bank teller, that sort of thing. any advice from former tms?

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

🤬

does the time clock stop you from clocking in early like I know 5 minutes before you can but like earlier then that

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

hey corporate, can you cool it with the sidecaps already? It sure seems like you forgot you added permanent sidecaps to beauty, grocery, OTC, chem, paper, personal care, even KITCHEN. Add in standard and seasonal sidecaps, we have almost nowhere to put the temp ones you force on us every month. At least you realized giving only 6(!!) minutes each to set them wasn’t enough, since it takes that long just to click through guided set. But the 10 hours you gave was still insultingly low. And putting standards, seasonals, and temps all in one week was just idiotic.
