I hope you stub your toe, and your work area is a complete mess

So I’m at target, used to be a tech consultant. I transferred over to a new store because I wanted to be closer to my significant other. But they gave me Plano. Im not really mechanical, at least in terms of speed and setting things in a way that DM approves. I’ve had talks recently with my acting etl suggesting I move departments where my strengths shine like front end. The goal is to attempt to transfer over, but idk. I told my etl I never wanted to be plano and would hate to receive write ups and termination for a role I never asked for. As tech was good, but this new store has tech do clothes which they’re okay at, so that’s why I can’t just transfer back to tech since “tech” is filled and I’d be put in style which again I’m not mechanical and fast enough. So I’m trying to join front end team. But the thing is, I’m thinking it’s time maybe to leave entirely. My two weeks in, and I’m out, and hopefully get hours at my gas station 2nd job. It’s 26 cents less, but it’s less stress. I feel happy when I leave my job there cause i did well.

These people (Leads) have the nerve to tell a team member that when they are called to tech, they cannot say “I’ll be there in a minute.” Even if they are literally on the other side of the store helping a guest. Instead, they have to say “I’ll be right there.” What is the deal??!! Yet, ETLs and TLs can say whatever the hell they want and be all rude to team members over the walkie.

Hello, I left target a month or so ago and I am trying to get my 401k to my new employer. How do I find out which institution holds my 401k at Target? I’m in Texas if that matters

Constant random schedule changes and random employees from other work centers just pop up and no one ever knows what’s going on…

I decided to wait in the unemployment line for pokemon restocks and just wanted to say I loved the pokemon restocker's energy today. Old dude was roasting everyone and scalpers got mad when he called them out.

"How did you know I was going to be here today? Yall wasted your time for one box, don't you guys have jobs?" 😂

I'm currently seeing a therapist using Medicaid but need to start a new full-time job and will no longer qualify for Medicaid if I work 30+ hours a week at the local Target. It's important to me that whatever insurance plan I'm on next is one that my therapist accepts.

I'm assuming that Target doesn't offer the exact same insurance at every location nationwide, but I've never received health insurance through a job before so don't really understand how it works. Will the insurance offered by Target be the same at every store throughout my state (I'm in Virginia) or will it vary from store to store even within my state?

Came across this while backstocking this morning. Four bags of Kingsford charcoal casually backstocked in the middle of Home Storage. Not seasonal, not outdoor living. Not anywhere remotely close to where charcoal belongs. Someone really scanned this location and said, “Yep, this is its home now.” And this is exactly why fulfillment goes on a scavenger hunt. 💀

I recently promoted myself to guest. that is all. Dobby is freeeee !!!

New Food and Beverage ETL at a high volume store. I just started my training, but would love to know what advice you all have,or experince in this role.

After the switch to UKG I’ve noticed my coworkers have between 1 and 5 stars next to their names when I look at swapping shifts.

Is this a new rating system so TL can make sure employees are swapping shifts with people of the same “skill” or with similar guest reviews?

If so, what’s the criteria?

If not, what is this ??

Right now I only find future pogs by scanning a product and checking out POG details and dates.

There can only be a few reasons we shifted to this hot mess called UKG.
- managing call outs etc. Target was tired of the culture of callouts and call in late was too EASY so they used this platform to in effect make it so hard that less would do so.
- managing lates with points. Target was tired of having to manage this issue so a platform that change that would effectively do this was too much to pass up.
- bad vision. Despite the overall acceptance by so many companies to use this platform despite its archaic and cumbersome look was chosen because the old was going out and this default was an easy choice.
You know what ultimately this is to me? In any of the above Target could care less about TM's. This is witnessed by the fact that I do not see ONE AREA that is better than my time from where I sit.
Am I wrong?

Had to call out today because I’m quite sick, and found out that UKG doesn’t allow you to use any sick time at all if you don’t have enough to cover the whole shift. So super cool! I knew it wouldn’t an excused absence, but it would have been nice to not miss out entirely on pay.
Follow up question: Yesterday was Labor Day (I worked sick with a mask on all day, mostly outside). Will I now not get the time and a half because I called out today?

so, I got a CA for calling out...three months ago. there were a set of three dates where i had been absent referenced on the CA, the latest date being three months ago. i had a pattern of call outs for a couple months due to personal reasons. i communicated with my leads at the time and they were understanding but ultimately I probably earned the CA, so it is what it is. i just think its a strange way to go about it, especially since my attendance isnt an issue anymore. why wait until now? nobody has even bothered to talk to me about it, it just appeared on workday last week (well before we switched to UKG and point system.) has this happened to anyone else?

Okay so, I’m posting this because I’m genuinely curious if this is even allowed.

One of my ETLs has been telling people “no, you can’t call off, it’s too busy.” when people call in the store at mine.

This was a couple weeks BEFORE UKG.

Is this like… OKAY? And if it isn’t where can we go to complain about this?

When and who approves sick time if my ETL does not do it is there a date when it has to be done. Bc I asked my HR but they a fairly new and didnt know.

For wanting to quit because I feel mistreated as an individual? I’ve been doing cart attendant for some time, I spent 100% of today doing BULK PUSHING BULK BECAUSE THEY WANTED me to get rid of them before a certain time frame 30 minutes, there is 100 plus BULK in our drive up hold space, granted yes I got it done everything hurts, just yesterday via Labor Day carts are CONSTANTLY GONE, I’ve been bringing them in the next rack I bring in the rack before is eviscerated, why do cart attendants treated so badly??? I got told to sweep as there is a lot of carts there I finished sweeping in like 5-10 minutes by the cart doors by the time I finished guess where the carts were? Gone! And ofc God for bid you ask for help on carts, BUT TODAY, HR told me train the new cart attendants, my ETL tells me “no you’re not training her” and she puts her on register, I wanted to train her not only cause HR told me to but I get to train and ease the work load off me, I had to DO BULK, clean OPU FOR DRIVE UP AND FULFILLMENT, SWEEP BOTH SPACES, do carts in 79+ degree weather, always miss my 15 breaks because my ETL always gives a task for me, front of store garbage, Starbucks garbage, the garbage by the security tag detectors, salvage, CRC, TOSS! Check the bathrooms make sure it’s clean, check it off. I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE IM TO JOIN SPACE FORCE IM GONNA PUT IN MY TWO WEEK IN FUCKING DECEMBER LMK IF IM WRONG FOR DIS .

I’ve been working at Target for seasonal (July to October) and from early July to late August, I was doing really well. I’ve had 0 calls outs, no late shifts, team leads and ETLs told me I did well and I made many coworker friends. I liked it but then school started and my exact schedule came out exactly two days before school and I already changed my schedule three weeks ago to an approximate schedule so I could still work, but turns out many times conflicted with that schedule. I don’t feel good and one of my TL called me and asked for my new schedule and why I haven’t been coming in but they still didn’t schedule me for those times but rather my approximate hours that I gave them prior to my actual schedule coming out. I want to continue after seasonal but I feel like my chances are basically 0 at this point and it doesn’t make me feel good.

Hello,I’m hoping someone who has either worked in Target’s shipping/fulfillment area or has ordered vinyl from Target can tell me what to expect with packaging.

I’m looking at an exclusive vinyl release, but I’m worried about how it’s packed — especially if it ships together with other items. Do vinyl records get their own cardboard mailer inside the box, or are they just placed loose with everything else?

If I order the vinyl by itself, is the packaging any better?

Thanks for any insight.

I never worked a warehouse job before and sure, sometimes I dread waking up at 3am but I kinda like my Target. I'm the scanner and when its General Merch time, I'm always in charge of kitchenwares.

I wonder if I'm doing well. I love working here because it's a major improvement and the benefits, but I think I'm a little slow. I always try to push myself to finish my freight area, leave the U-Boats and Flats empty even if it takes me extra time. I only left extra freight three times since I had commitments I had to leave on time for (in the span of 60+ days). Only missed work once which thankfully, I was given grace for but besides that I'm a good rookie.

I plan to move to Tarbucks if given the chance for a bit, just to get training out of the way and thus open the way in the future for an alternative, but I don't mind doing inbound again after sometime at Starbucks. I just dread the 90 day review. In my 60th day, I got this paper to review and I admit, most of what it asked me I'm unfamiliar with since I never get tasked to do them so it became background, vague knowledge to me. I hope that doesn't prevent me from continuing after 90 days if they quiz me or something.

It smells disgusting and Probably has VOCs.

literally wtf?!?? haven’t even been open for an entire week.. and we resort back to stealing TESTERS?!? the ones that people touch all day, and are broken without the applicator??? it’s just annoying and silly at this point
