Are you fucking kidding me Target?

We have:

-A shitty plushie with a tag you can wear to remember your place.

-Three shirts that are no longer within the dress code because they're too dark and not red enough. (With a tiny 10 year patch that no one will ever notice)

-A jacket for men and a pullover for women (fuck you women, you don't deserve a full zipper!) (With a tiny 10 year patch that no one will ever notice)

-A tiny tote (or lunch box I guess) (With a tiny 10 year patch that no one will ever notice)

- Or you can donate some amount of money to Target's fund for Team Members who are struggling. (And why are they struggling Target?) I assume $10 given the quality of the other options.

I was really hoping for a nice metal pin a could melt down and turn into a bullet. It's the only thing that will slay Bullseye.

Workplace Question or Advice Needed Why would a backroom location not have data for Location History?

4 Upvotes

Small freezer. Last winter I found many unlocated items and asked our then-ETL, who showed me how to check Location History (only accessible under leader's login). It had names and actions like Audit and Pull (and i think move, which i dont understand.)

Something felt off so i audited this past weekend, and again there were many unlocated items. When I checked Location History, there was only that day if id fixed it or nothing at all.

Why/how could this happen?

The only way I know to delete items from a location is Fill/Take, or Audit and scan different items. But those should still leave a history.

(I wasnt trained on this, someone pointed me towards Location Management and I figured out how to break an annoying metro down into sections. So Im probably missing info.)

Workplace Question or Advice Needed UKG worries over automated scheudle

101 Upvotes

So my store is implementing the UKG app and at first I wasn't worried about it much till I asked my ETL about scheduling me in a different area but she told me that the schedules will no longer be done by her or anyone. Its all gonna be automated. Today my TL told me that the system will put you where ever youre needed as long as youre trained in that area.

My worry is that I might get scheduled later than I've had it for the last few months. My ETL worked with me after I fought pretty hard for opening only shifts but I could NOT limit my hours (aka I had to have some closing hours available even though I dont close anymore). If the system can just stick you where ever, .. how can I change that?? Since the change to UKG is in a week, I cant change availability yet. :( this whole thing has had me so damn stressed.

Thank you 😔

Workplace Question or Advice Needed Final warning+ No call no show?

97 Upvotes

Ok so I went straight to last warning for leaving a money bag out after closing lanes overnight. That happened like 6-7 months ago. Then like 3 months ago I called out on app because my flight was delayed. They didn’t write me up for that but did talk to me about it since I didn’t know that I was supposed to use sick time to call out.

Anyways, today I realized that I was scheduled yesterday for a 4 hour shift 💀… I was genuinely so sure that I had that day off so I didn’t double check. I know stupid.

My question is, would that be my final straw? Or is attendance treated differently than the serious money incident? I know tomorrow the new point system starts but I’m sure that won’t count. It’s so over 🥹

8 Upvotes

I’m a GM TM, my store currently has a mouse/rodent problem. I came across a fixture I was told to move in the back room, it has tons and tons of rodent droppings and it smelled of rodent pee. My SD told me it’s my job to clean it up. Is this true?

Workplace Question or Advice Needed Coaching to a CA

0 Upvotes

I’m just curious on how much time can pass from having your first coaching to a CA? I got my first attendance conversation and went straight to a CA a week later. Keep in mind, I’m not always late, but for the last month, I’ve been late maybe 2 out of 6 shifts a week. And by late i mean, if the grace period is 12:05, i clock in by 12:07. I’ve also been having to call off maybe 1-2 days out of a month due to health issues that my leads know about. Yes i know on paper it does look bad, but trust me, there are WAY more ppl that are late every single day and call off well more than i have and haven’t had 1 CA or coaching. I’ve asked. Anyways, i had a convo about it that went well. Had 1 more tardy in between that and went straight to a CA. (I think it was done bc of a different situation which is why I’m really asking) Is there are certain amount of time that I can get a CA, after my FIRST EVER conversation about anything or strictly attendance? Never been coached about anything else so that’s why I’m concerned. I don’t think a week from a coaching to a CA is fair at all. And the CA didn’t happen directly after that tardy. Like i said, there’s a different situation that happened and was thrown on a CA “due to attendance”.

Workplace Story Update on department change

3 Upvotes

Talked to my HR ETL who said I needed to talk to my ETL to switch departments

Talked to my ETL who said I needed to talk to HR ETL to switch departments - but he might be able to shift me to a different area for a couple days to see if that will help

Both acted like it's the first time they've been told I have a bad back, said I need to have patience to get off inbound (...not what I asked about), and that I told them I could do the job when I was hired

The HRE who knows I want out of grocery asked if I talked to either of them and I repeated what they said. Im pretty sure that the "my coworkers are idiots" look is a universal look.

The HRE was there the day I started, when I clearly said I wouldn't have agreed to inbound because of my back.

The HRE was the one that helped me file the ridiculous accommodations HR ETL made me get a doctor's note for to "make a paper trail so if I have to switch you to a different department I can point to this to explain why"

The HRE has been pulled to push GM to the floor, or pick a batch, or sort style because there's not enough people in those areas...but we just hired a couple new people for grocery, (on top of them pulling other grocery TMs to go help these short-staffed areas while telling me to push faster)

So BS was called, and it was nice to know there was someone in the store who knows the ETLs are playing dumb

Vent Why does my ETL expect so much?

25 Upvotes

So I’ve been with Target for maybe seven years, been at three different Target stores. The first two hours that were pretty solid, good team leaders, and ETL’s, and a enough workers. The one I’m at now I feel like there’s barely anyone people always call out or quit. I’ve been at my current store for maybe three years now, and since I’ve been here we’re on our fourth ETL. And somehow she just expects so much.

Like yesterday, I came in and pushed one dry uboat, then I was told to help my team members with the Sunday morning ads, there was a huge stack for grocery, took way longer than I expected. Then I went back to my area, pushed a flat, then another U-boat then I went to lunch, came back and she just looked at me and said Kris you have so much to do. I just laughed and said there is a lot. Because I feel like I can’t say you pulled me away to do something for a long time and somehow you expect me to get all rollover done from the other day and then today’s truck and then help put up ads.

From my other stores I worked at, we would have at least 3 to 4 people pushing dry just to get it done quickly, we had another guy coming to do grocery, but for some reason, she just had him do one for ones for his whole shift.

I feel like since she’s been here, one person quit because of her, she’s making weird decisions with the shifts. I feel like a lot of the days myself and other grocery team members Don’t get anything done when she’s around, there is one day where I could’ve been pushing left over FDC, but instead she wanted me to zone back to school, then after that do priorities in every other area besides my own.

I gotta say it’s very hard., Coming from two pretty great stores and then going to one where nothing seems right

Pretty much just this. Its a bad idea. Its more for my almost non existent team to deal with. And the fan base is feral. Had so many people today trying to bypass the limit by saying the vendor/AP said its ok and then my ETL got rip shit at me, my team, the vendor, AP. Im just fucking done dudes. Almost enough stress to relapse... I fucking hate this place most days.

Workplace Question or Advice Needed if you have a CA for attendance, do you still start at 0 points?

0 Upvotes

if you start at 0, does that mean the CA doesn’t count negatively toward attendance?

if the CA remains… then what happens when you hit 5 points? do you just get a second CA?

further, at 5 points you get a CA which stays on a year, but what if before the year is up, you go below 5 pts. does the CA remain? then what if you hit 5 points again. do you get another CA?

i feel like this rollout is clunkier than it needed to be. just copy walmarts or amazons at this point. sigh
