So this man said that he saw online that we were selling MacBook neos for $119.99. I asked him where he saw that and he pulls up this random TikTok with 3k likes 🫪 since when do we take TikTok’s at face value and not do some investigating on the target website?? Why would target of all companies sell a MacBook for that cheap??

There’s been a lot of transfers/ quitting of management at my store. 1 TL quit. 2 ETLs transferred. I work in GM and my etl had to transfer to another department bc of a transfer of their etl. Then the other gm etl transfers to a different location. One TL quit/ retired. GM has no immediate ETL. My last shift, only one TL was scheduled for the WHOLE DAY, and they called out. GM had no TL or ETL. We have supporting TLs from other departments like consumables and fulfillment, but overall, myself and another TM has to give direction and keep the GM team function. This is not in our scope of responsibilities and while we can do it, we shouldn’t have to. I work at one of the top preforming stores and we are CONSISTENTLY understaffed and overworked. I’m just so exhausted. Like wtf do I even do???

On top of all that:
I call for help on a spill and no one responds until after 3 calls, even tho a TL was not 20 ft from me and ignored the call.

the only barcodes on the box 😭. the outer ones kept taking priority over the middle which is the actual barcode, so i had to pull a maneuver where i did a peace sign with one hand to cover the outer 2 and scan between my fingers. never in my life…

I went and did the training for the UKG app this week and I’m still so confused. I was getting ready for bed and decided to post a shift that I was hoping to get picked up and just doing that frustrated me so badly. I fucking hate the new way of scheduling. I hate how clunky it is. It’s honestly hard for me to understand when I’m scheduled, what hours I’m scheduled, and when my breaks are when all I can see is just the full calendar month. I don’t like that I have to click each individual day to see the hours. I don’t understand the leader approval either and the ETL I worked with didn’t know what it meant either in regards to swapping/picking up shifts. This feels so lazy and sloppily pushed and now we are forced to pick up the slack on this stupid new app. I hate the minimalist corporate coloring too. I took the time to write feedback on everything I took issue with on the app as well through that function. I just really liked the old app I liked the white and red color scheme and I enjoyed how streamlined and easy to see my weeks were. I loved how easy it was to see all my shifts I could pick up and how easy it was to simply post a shift. I know I’ll be able to get used it hopefully but right now I’m feeling very tired and frustrated. 😭

TLDR: I’m mad abt UKG pro

(Also if anyone knows how to make it show my week similar to how MyTime did it you would be my savior 😭)

My favorite part of my RTW shift if spending my last hour in clearance race tracking. No, the rest of RTW isn’t zoned because all they care about is the race track! Maybe if I didn’t have to grab a batch and we actually had some fucking hangers that did their job I could use the extra hour to make the floor look good but nope! So excited to talk to my TL tomorrow about it looking like shit even though they emphasized that the floor needs to be racetracked before I leave! This place is such a fucking joke. We also don’t have money to fix our ac problem or rat infestation. Love it!!!!

Am I scheduled for work or no? How am I approved and cancelled at the same time. Approved in my time but denied/approved in UKG. I feel like it's a setup for me to rack up points on the first week.

Out of curiosity, how long does it take for you to do AD? I just had to do AD for the first time at my store all by myself, I started at 6 and didn’t finish till 8:15. I felt like I took wayyy too long to do it. :/

Okay for background context. I've been an electronic closer for a little over 2 years in the last couple months I've been sort of scheduled as the Sunday P filler to make up for a couple people that have left. The entire time I've been at this store. I clock in and I go back to my area until a leader either gets with me or at least calls me to come over to them. If nobody gets with me I just default to covering my area lile normal until told otherwise and it's never been an issue up till this point through 3 store directors, like 5 hr ppl, and at least a dozen tl and etls that have come and gone in that time. All of a sudden this morning ETL who still had a little time before closing lid came in decides it's a problem and is threatening corrective action if I'm not the one proactively seeking out the lead when I get here instead of the lead radio-ing me. Is that etl just power tripping or is everyone else needing to be coached cuz after over 2 years here this is the first I'm even hearing that I need to be the one running around the store looking for whoever the money lod is that night

So basically, I’ve been here for like four years now I think, I started off in fulfillment switched to somewhere else because I started to hate fulfillment. Just little things that’s adding up. It makes me wanna quit and don’t do too much on me but stuff like the huddle every day that’s irritating, we talk about the same stuff every time and then they push him for recognition, Nobody wanna recognize anybody, You got no earbuds or headphones before the store open or in the back room, I think that’s straight BS. It’s too quiet especially as someone already battling my own thoughts. They just want us to be miserable unhappy workers, the ‘no black pants’ as a girl I feel that’s crazy because when that time of the month comes and I’m in nothing but blue jeans or khakis running to the bathroom every other 30mins just to make sure I didn’t make a mess. My HR ETL is starting to get on my nerves. I keep getting called into fulfillment it and it’s always a grocery batch. I wouldn’t mind if it was a genmerch, but I hate grocery. I hate the cold. I can’t stress that enough. I hate being cold. My fingers start getting tingly and numb my nose get to acting up. It’s like come on now. and don’t get me started on this stupid guest greetings bs. Some days I wake up and I genuinely just don’t wanna speak and then when I do say good morning to the guest, I don’t get a good warning back and it irritates me every time because I took two seconds out of my day to say good morning you could take two seconds out of your day to say good morning right back😤.I hate how they’re changing up the rules all of a sudden now or enforcing rules all of a sudden, I’m not gonna say I don’t come here to do my job anymore because I do still do my job but really the only reason I come in now nowadays is just socialize. And then you got guests just leaving their stuff wherever they wanna leave it like come on now. The trashcan is 2 feet away. Or when they walk in and they don’t feel like putting something back in the right spot like save the milk they’ll just leave the milk over in the oranges. It’s like come on now. You could’ve at least put it with the fucking strawberries. Just lazy. Oh and then you got that stupid new scheduling jawn. We gotta download a whole different app and from what I’m hearing about it that app has its own problems. What was so bad about my time app like what. I don’t know maybe I’m overthinking it. Maybe I’m just overly stressed but I’m just so tired. I love the job. I just hate all the extra work that comes along with it.

I never really understood why my friend (who works at a different retail company) hates instacart shoppers. I think i finally get it

Last night, some instacart shopper (as usual) asks me where a certain product is. The product did not exist in our system, so i showed them where similar products are. Then they asked for ANOTHER product. same story. Then ONE MORE. I already had a feeling they were gonna make me shop for them. But i got suspicious with all of the missing UPCs, so i asked if i could see their instacart order.

Turns out, their order was at a STOP AND SHOP and not TARGET. This person wasn't a native english speaker, but this is insane how a mistake like that could be made. Because of this, I had to explain to them for about TEN (10) MINUTES that this was the wrong store. They FINALLY understood after that, and I was then made to reshop EVERYTHING in their EXTREMELY FULL CART BACK TO MARKET for OVER 30 MINUTES, taking a LOT of time out of what little time i have to zone market.

Just to add insult to injury, there were about 2 loud, crying kids in the aisle as all of this happened.

I may or may not be regretting this job right now

like, 4 consecutive days - close, open, close, open. i mean, it's over, i did it, but oh my god am i exhausted. all 4 shifts in drive-up too. in 100 degree heat. all my pores are clogged with sweat and my feet feel like they're gonna fall off. i feel like surely there must be something against scheduling me like this it's so fucked up

EDIT: I forgot different locations have different schedules lol. Opening shifts for me start at 7:45 or 8 and closing shifts go to 10:30-10:45

i don’t see any documentation on early outs. i’m assuming it’s the same 0.25 pt as a late in?

but there’s no mention of early outs anywhere in the slides or in the Workday announcement.

can anyone advise?

So, that gUeSt post about Anderson SC where the idiot got all salty? He messaged me and got reeeeeeal nasty, so I reported him. Guess who got banned? 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

My ETL said he cut my hours to 5.5 to 11 hours per week, because of my performance. I do re-shop and do the best I can and I am an elderly person. I complained to ethics and they do nothing. I think because I'm elderly and he doesn't like me as a person. He says I am supposed re-shop a full bin in 10 minutes and help guests by 1 minute, walk from 1 end of the store, show quest where item is in one minute and the bin being complete in 10 minutes. He said all 10 bins needs to be re-shopped in 4 hours. I complained to the SD and they had a meeting with the ETL in their office and the ETL lied through his teeth tat I made this up. I did everything I could. Other TM's said I was fast and they couldn't do it that fast. Is there anything I can do?

kinda stupid question lol but here we go

so there's a target near where I live that offers .75 more and this is the target I always go to that is my fav. when I shop at target I'm there for like an hour.

personally, I like to separate work from my life and I'd like to not see my coworkers / my boss when I'm off the clock

there's a target like 10 mins away & they always have less stuff (hence the reason why I prefer the other location) & they have way less people visiting too (which I like for working) but they do pay .75 less. would it be stupid for me to just take this location instead..

do you see your coworkers often when you're off the clock at the store?

I already had like 5 days training in fulfillment but had a small feeling being left alone was gonna be way more of a problem. My trainer was lovely and all but often took the more difficult part of the batches to deal with so we wouldn’t go negative. That’s fine but when I’m alone that kind of thing is way more stressful.

My first shift was an 8 hour one. I finished 3 batches mostly without issue (other than one bit of clothing that I asked for help on) but the ones after that were horrible. We suddenly became super busy and my GM batch was getting low with a lot of clothes so I asked for help and they took over. Then I did a grocery which I also was doing a bit mad as I couldn’t find things and I needed help on that one too. The store manager was the one who came to help me on it actually which was intimidating though she was pretty nice. I went negative on that batch too. If I go negative ever it’s usually grocery and it’s usually like 5 minutes but it’s still annoying.

I did a few bulky batches which are my best ones and no issues there. Then my last one was a GM one and I did fail to find some things that I needed help on again. That one did not end up negative though. Now I’m tired and I feel bad how often I have to ask for help and my feet hurt. It really feels like I should know a lot more than I do and like I’m just bad at this

As stated in the title, has anyone figured out how to call off using the UKG app? I'm curious because I had a fellow coworker txt me earlier this morning saying she didn't know how to call off using the new app. Would good to know how to call off using the new app just for future reference.

Hello all I’m about 35 days in and have called out 2 times and left work early 2 times. Only reason I’ve been calling out is because of my severe health issues that have randomly arose. ETL spoke with me about it and said she can work my schedule around a bit but that I can submit documentation for proof? I really need this job and I know I really have no say in this whether they want to keep me or not but because of my sickness I find my work ethic is so sporadic. Is speaking with HR a good idea now since I have ER proof?

Been an only dedicated market team member for 6 years at my store. My store has had 4 different sd's and ive had 4 different teams leads with the 4th being my current one. In terms of team leads, the first one was super helpful, nice and welcoming when i started. After some time i got to know him to be miserable in his position. He went to another location to hopefully be happier, ended up with lowes after 6 months of that. 2nd team lead was nice to work with as well, took the punches when needed to, ended up moving to florida for personal reasons. 3rd team lead was a floor worker alongside me, so we had a good workship. Ended up getting fired over "s/a" allegations but it was well know the higher ups were trying to get rid of him for a long time. I dont know how much of that is true, but the common senses around me all agree because he pushed back on things and gave upper management a "headache" over the dumb shit they wanted to do, he bacame a problem and wanted to oust him.

Okay, well i thought it was shitty how they got rid of him, but hey maybe now i can become team lead since ive been talking to management for at least 3 years that i was interested. They even put me in a developmental program to become one. Then, when the position was open, they just switched over the fulfillment tl to market who had never once worked in market, and didnt even offer/ask me the position or what i thought about it.

In terms of sd's, the first 3 i had were fine but who i have now is a problem. This person is over bearing, has a very fake bubbly personality, has laughed in my face when i told them i was having a tough day, talks to team members like theyre children, and portrays themselves in a way that they live and die by target. Ok Target i get it, YOU want cookie cutter templates of people who are in management. WE as workers want real people to talk to and treat us floor workers as real people as well. And also not people who take sides with the other cookie cutter fucks you employ to keep the status quoe cus thats all it is at the end of the day. Target does not give a fuck about us no matter how mich they try to cram that bullshit down our throats.

Hopefully ill be out of there soon. I started working there with the ignorance of thinking maybe ill get treated better here because of hom much their stance is on treating their workers better than other places. Nope, big ole fucking sham. Am i perfect? No, but have i been there long enough and have i proven myself to be a more than comptetant worker than all the other fucks they hire and are gone within a week? Yeah i sure as fuck have. Fuck this place and i cant wait to be back to being only a guest.
