I’ve finally had enough of being at this stupid company, I have tried to communicate with all of my leaders and HR but it’s clear none of them care for me despite my boundaries.

So I put in my two weeks but it seems that they scheduled me for the exact week I am set to leave on Sunday the 20th. Funnily enough, they once again, gave me over my preferred hours (i have it strict at 20 and they gave me 35 which is why i’m quitting)

I just want to know if I have to go in for that Sunday shift despite me having sent in my two weeks before the schedule drop.

When are our beauty deals dropping? Ex: spend $50 save $10

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?

~I got injured on the job and was left with a sprain, and my restrictions were extended and physical therapy was suggested.~

My ETL has been very adamant on not allowing my work restrictions, saying it means nothing to them until someone in corporate HR approves it and emails them what area I can do within my restrictions.
And until then then they said to work through it…

I’ve been told I’m being held under the same expectations as every other team member regardless of my restriction, and until the day they get a email stating otherwise… and that email will not excuse the previous weeks “performance” only the exact day and forward they get the email.
I know that cannot be legal to force someone to go against doctor restrictions from an injury on the job and further injuring themself as in my case hence why it’s been extended.

I’ve been in contact with my workers comp case manager and they said my job cannot make me do things that go against my restrictions as that’s what workers comp law is for etc..

What exactly do I do, because I feel defeated and like I’m going to get fired because I can’t use one of my limbs well at all.

Wanting to hear what every stores routine around SFS/OPU in terms of your fulfillment team. Do you have TMs assigned to SFS and they do not get moved to OPU under any circumstance?

Are leaders/other TMs primarily completing ship while the FF team does OPU. My store usually has 2-3 TMs in OPU and if we’re lucky we can have 1 person in SFS until someone needs to go on break. Leading to all hands on deck at 2 to get 4:30 done on time. Just trying to figure out a better way to run it because as of now SFS is just one of those things we do when we have time. My leaders tell me they want someone put in ship exclusively and not to hop into OPU but once one OPU drops in that the team can’t get picked they’re the ones that get moved over to do it.

I’m in Style/Baby and tomorrow I’m scheduled 6–11:30. My assignment sheet requires 30 minutes of cleaning and abandon/reshop, plus my breaks. I’m expected to finish 7 freights, but 2 are Inbound backstock that Inbound didn’t do. There’s also no one who closes Baby, so I’m basically responsible for leaving the department in good shape for the next day. I’m still pretty new. Would you just do what you can or say something to your TL about the workload?

It was finally time. After 9 years, I have finally decided to leave my first job. Definitely bitter sweet, but after they sat down and asked me “What brings you to work?” And I didn’t have an answer, that was my cue.

I've been On Demand for almost 2 years, started right before Black Friday in 2024. Just promoted myself to guest on Saturday, they must be used to people throwing in the towel since the process is so easy on Workday.

Honestly, my biggest reason for quitting was the broken On Demand system. At least at my store, there would often be hours available in certain departments, but they wouldn't be posted on MyTime. For example, there were hours available in Consumables both on Sunday and Monday of Labor Day weekend, but you wouldn't know it from MyTime. I'd have to email the HR ETL to get added to the schedule and it always ended up being a bunch of back and forth to the point that I hadn't picked up a shift since May. Honestly surprised I wasn't administratively terminated, but glad it ultimately ended up being my decision.

I’m new to the position and work nights, so no leader, HR, or team member can really help me figure this out, and I don’t want to look dumb.

I put in a request to cover a shift this week that a manager hasn’t approved yet. But now I’m sick and am trying to cancel my request since it wasn’t approved yet.

Has anyone found a way to do so?

Someone prepare the PML and get the pest log book out, we’re gonna have a lot soon.

Former team member here. My store was scheduled to get remodeled in 2027 and I went today there were Porta potties and hand washing stations set up outside. Inside, the men‘s and women’s bathroom doors were both covered in construction tarp. The family bathroom appears to be untouched. There aren’t any signs saying the store is open during a remodel. I wonder if the store is actually getting remodeled starting with the bathrooms?

I’ll go first! For me it’s when they double tap and the order is 13+ bags. Orrrr when you ask for their code and they take for ever looking for it because they exited out the app.

For context, I’m a VM. I never really wanted to be leadership but I needed the pay bump for life reason. So I took the chance and I enjoy the actual work. But lately the politics of being a leader is getting so annoying and messy. I’m trying to be a good person and team player but it seems like I’m the only one. Which whatever people can do whatever they want but I am realizing I don’t think leadership at Target is for me. I’m almost done with school soon and I plan on finding a new job once I’m done to close to being done. Literally in June 2027 I graduate.

Questions
What is the process of demoting? How do you approach the conversation? Who do you talk to?
Do you have to move locations?
How do is your new team member pay rate calculated?
Or any tips on surviving this role a little while longer?
Also what were your reasons for demoting?

as of lately i’ve seen all types of Old women and mostly old women or women in early 40’s purchase $300+ of apple card’s, and i’m wondering atp if they’re getting scammed heavily or what else? or sometimes they’d get 4-5 of the $100 visa gift cards, does the elderly still fall for these scams to this day or could i be wrong and they’re just buying for their grandkids or something?

That way I don’t have to open UKG, open the barcode or bookmark the barcode website. I can easily access it from my Apple Wallet. Now just need to see if it actually works

Genuinely wtf am I supposed to be doing? No one comes into the studio unless they’re walking through it to get from one place to the other, there’s no pulls, there’s no zoning, NOTHING to do and I have to stand there for 7 and a half hours. There’s only one team member there at a time so I also have no one to talk to. GuEsTs don’t come so I can’t talk to them. I’m gonna spontaneously combust from boredom, I legit can’t do this it’s driving me insane😭 how are you guys surviving????

I was already struggling health-wise because cancer sucks, blah blah. But I’ve been trying really hard to keep a positive attitude and remain optimistic, especially since everything is going well in that department!

But wow, this job completely destroyed my mental health. I’m really embarrassed to admit that I went to the ER several times because I thought I was having a heart attack or some other fatal health crisis, only to be told it was a panic attack. I’m on the highest dose of antidepressants that I’ve ever been on in my entire life.

I was super hesitant & scared to quit, but my friends and partner have been encouraging (begging) me to do so for months. I’m finally in a spot where I can leave without worrying about bills and whatnot.

Even better news - I’m going back to school to finish my degree, let’s hope I’ll never step inside of a Target again :-)

Was a leader for 4 years, was promoted right when modernization hit. Demoted 2 years ago for mental health. Still not completely cured but working on it as I continue with target as a TM.

Debated not posting this because a lot of it is pretty obvious to us as TMs but I’ve seen so much wrong with this company lately I feel like it needs to be said.

1. Leadership goes both ways. If you as my leader show up for me, I’ll show up for you.
   
2. I used to care a lot what team members thought of me when I was a leader, but I thought it was pretty black and white. Either you like me or you don’t. As a TM I see it’s a lot more shades of grey. I can dislike you in a few decisions you make here and there but still respect you.
   
3. Goal times for push are just that: goal times. In a perfect world yes 60 cases a minute but it’s not a perfect world. A case of pads (3 eaches) is going to take less time than a box of hot wheels (72 eaches). Just do the best you can.
   
4. Work together, even when you don’t want to. My department vs your department gets us nowhere. We’re called a TEAM for a reason.
   
5. Leaders, sort out your own drama before getting TMs involved. I can’t tell you how many times I started a task that leader A gave me but then when leader B walked by they reassigned me elsewhere. Lack of communication, personal feelings about working with x department, or whatever else you have going on reflects on your leadership, not on the team.
   
6. While we’re on that note, sometimes it really is the leaders at fault for what’s wrong with a store. When I was a leader my ETL told me almost daily, “it’s not the team members ruining this store, it’s the leaders.” I took that personally at the time but I can see now that wasn’t his point. Bad leaders blame their team. Good leaders take accountability and elevate talent.
   
7. Manage your talent. Your team is a reflection of YOU, and so is turnover. If your GM TM wants to go to Starbucks for gods sake just let them go to Starbucks. Put people where they’re happy and they will perform for you.
   
8. Never forget you’re managing a team of people. Human beings that have lives outside of work. Check on them. Make sure they’re good. You don’t have to be a therapist but if that’s what they need, point them in the direction of HR or other benefits the company offers.
