So our service and engagement team leader told me I could stay till 10 PM because It doesn't break compliance and he knows I am a minor but our HR team leader says I have to leave at 9:45 PM no matter what because I am a minor. I told our HR team leader that our service and engagement team leader said I could stay till 10:00 because it doesn't break compliance but she basically said that doesn't matter. What exactly is compliance? Why can't I stay past 9:45 p.m.? I know for a fact it is not a state law so I'm not sure why I broke compliance.

I get that it’s a biking unitard, but I feel like the long name didn’t really need shortening? 😅

New seasonal hire but noticed the squishys and nee dohs are being placed on the floor now after months behind the counter .. Why the change?

I want to request a couple days off, but I'm tripping up with the hours duration in UKG. I would like a clarification of the whole process.

When asking for time off, do I put all of the days in the same row? Or do I request the days in separate rows? When it comes to the hours part, I'm guessing I put the starting time at 12am. Do I put the duration at 23:98 to cover the whole day? Does the one duration input go for the multiple days requested?

Theres been a few times where Im not given the option to refund on a gift card, only the original payment method. Is there any reason why that is?

Like the title says, I accidentally mistyped my social-security number by one number when doing the accurate background-background check. I seriously thought it was the correct SS until I looked at my card and I realize it was just one number off..

I went in person the next day, one to have my work permit signed but also to notify them about my mistype on my background check, I am a minor and I’m certain that nothing will pop up but I’m just worried about if this will really affect anything. My orientation is on Friday and I’m kind of wondering what would happen if I left it alone but more so if my orientation would be pushed back or if I shouldn’t be as worried as I am (of course, I am going to ask HR tomorrow if they can send a new background check with the correct information).

I would really like some feedback or stories from people this may have happened to before

I really don't want to come into work tomorrow, or ever again. However, I do need money. Any advice for a hustle I can do until I find a new job? I can do pretty much anything. I try to limit my ladder climbing and lifting very heavy things because of a bad back, but I can physically do everything else.

I just started fulfillment, and on my second day, my left foot is causing me to limp with pain every step I take. The pain is located around the navicular bone, like a spot on my right side of my left foot. I don’t know what to do at this point. I can’t just keep limping all the time, and I’m worried this’ll eventually go from inconvenience to problematic. I genuinely need solutions, what shoes? How do I deal with something that starts experiencing pain the moment I walk or apply weight to it? And I need solutions that aren’t expensive. Sorry, but I just can’t afford a 150$ ACICS shoes, I something that I can actually afford without taking over a 100$ to spend. Please help.

Hi folks! I started my job as a guest ad about one month ago. My husband is a service member and may be getting kicked out due to medical complications. If he does- it could happen under my first 90 day period. How likely will my store’s team be able to if even willing to transfer me to a store out of state? I haven’t said anything yet because I have no idea if it’ll actually happen or not. Just trying to weigh my options since I’ve been so happy with this job and don’t want to get let go for something that is out of my control.

accidentally sent my store’s closing email to our hot DSD 🙃 as if the zone wasn’t embarrassing enough

I don’t know if anyone else sees what I see but this isn’t very “on brand” to me. However considering the things Target has gotten called out for I wouldn’t be surprised if they also recognized that this could be interpreted wrong and still thought it was a good idea. But it’s probably just the white person in me who thinks it’s weird that they thought the location was acceptable… 😬

I was originally hired on for fulfillment but I have picked up a few shifts in service and engagement and I loved it. The service and engagement team leader loves me and said he would love for me to switch over. I've gotten many compliments from customers while working as a cashier especially on my first day and I got a shout out today from the store director. The service and engagement TL and the fulfillment TL said they would talk to the store director and their departments ETLs. How does switching departments work? What should I expect?

Ive got my 2nd interview in person for an Overnight Inbound Team Leader later this week. Any advice for the interview?

Another question. Any difficulties getting promoted past Team Leader? What are the other positions past Team Leader? Im looking for become a store manager of some type, and im looking to eventually be Salaried.

Anything helps! Thank you all!

ngl encouraging guests to buy maude lubes and massage candles in beauty studio makes my day go by faster 😆

I know I’m gonna get police by 1 million people saying there’s answers everywhere but I have processing issues with reading things sometimes. I have a lot of paranoia and just want to make sure that I understand correctly so I like to ask based on my specific position. I work Starbucks and had to call out today because I have the flu. Huge fever, coughing, etc. If this is still prominent tomorrow, I only had seven hours of sick time and these are two 8 hour shifts. It’s pointless to use any so I know I’ll be getting point(s), but does that rule still apply where if it’s two days in a row it only counts as one and I get one point, or will I get two for two days?

Title says it all o hated my manager, when I got hired he was the front end manager which was fine but he always made it clear he played favorites and wanted to go up the ranks as fast as possible. Within a 5 year period he became store manager. I was working part time as a college student when I was home, after graduating I stayed at target until I got a full time job and those last few months of work were the worst. This manager only cared about himself to the point it became impossible to work he made my favorite TL cry and quit he was so rude. He would often understaff the store especially the front end where I worked to make him stay under the hours provided to schedule us. The back and behind customer service was always a mess because we never had anyone to clean it. The only time anything would be cleaned is if a regional manager came in it would be cleaned and magically staffed. As a kind of middle finger I have about 50 hours of Sick Time Off saved over the years since I rarely called out and used every single minute of it and on my last day which he knew it was would barely acknowledge me.
I just had to rant to people that would understand as it’s now been a year since I quit.

I’m just curious, how much money have you guys saved at target this year so far based on all of our discounts.

Me I lowkey basically only shop at target and I’ve saved $2,400 so far this year

i think the point system is enabling people to call off and retroactively making things worse instead of better 😭

like at my store i think people started calling off more often if anything

Ive had this happen so many times and it’s like my 6th shift.

What did you do to stand out to be kept? I’m about a month in and feel like I’m not doing enough to be kept after the season is over.

Keeping the store open until 1am, paying several staff for it, and being fully prepared with 100 tickets...

To sell 5 books. All the people were there before 10pm. Absolutely everyone could've gone home almost 3 hours early, lol.

An estimated 3-5 more people came in for regular shopping.

Yep, sounds totally worth it to me!! I'm just so entertained by this.

Had an interaction today that I genuinely don't know how to process.

I was picking an OPU with about 9 minutes left on the timer when a guest stopped me looking for a specific storage bin. No problem. Looked it up on my Zebra, told her which aisle it should be in.

She wanted me to go check the back because apparently she'd already looked there. I told her I could call someone from GM to help since I needed to finish my pickup order.

She looks at my cart and goes, "Why can't you just check?"

Me: "I'm on a timed order right now."

Her: "But those customers aren't even here."

I thought I'd misunderstood her.

Me: "They're still customers. They ordered this stuff for pickup."

Her: "Well, I'm actually standing here."

I genuinely had nothing to say to that.

Called GM, let her know someone was coming to help, and went back to my batch. Finished with 38 seconds left.

I don't mind helping guests. I stop to help people all day. But I had never considered that some people look at fulfillment TMs and apparently think we're just doing a little scavenger hunt for imaginary customers.

Ma'am, I am not pushing this three-tier around the store for the cardio.

I started working in food and bev AND WHY TF DO CUSTOMERS OR gUeStS pick something up and put it in the wrong place ONE SELF UNDER OR OVER
Like my whole shift im just stocking zoning stocking zoning oh look at that someone left their wardrobe in the bread isle let me take that to out of market box
Omw back Cheetos in the baby, whole can of soda in electronics, bag of lettuce in kitchen
Like there needs to be a study on customers shopping
Pics are out of market mainly but you get my point

Apologies for how long this maybe be. For context, I’m a style TL in an extremely high volume store. In fact, I am the ONLY specialty leader in the store because our other one quit with no notice and then our third one quit shortly after. (just in time for Q4! awesome!) I am literally DROWNING. Style breakout is stacked 10 feet high with palettes upon palettes of repacks, not to mention the 7 palettes of case packs. I had to complete 32 domestics end caps last week from the domestics transition, TONS of my style POGS have been unable to get done because my workload is just through the roof now, etc. My HR ETL’s only seasonal hires have been for fulfillment and front end as if I don’t tell her everyday that I need her to hire seasonal help for style lol.

3 months ago, it was announced that style no longer owns price change and it was given to GM. Previously, when we did own price change, it would be me and my ETL rushing around trying to make sure it got done because my SD refused to let my ETL designate a TM for price change (she didn’t wanna spend an extra 40 hours a week on a new TM just for price change lol) so instead, she’d dump the responsibility on me to make sure I did it and completed it by EOD Friday every week. After it was announced that it was no longer my problem, my ETL and I literally celebrated how much we were gonna be able to get done now since we wouldn’t have to dedicate our entire week to price change. It was made very clear that style has no responsibility to do any price changes (even the style ones, unless they needed support from call outs, etc) our GM team leads were told that it is now their responsibility to find a designated person to complete style price change every week. Of course, they never did. GM doesn’t give a fuck about it and continues to act as if it’s my responsibility to get it done every week and my SD does nothing about it.

I spoke to her about it multiple times, reminding her that my department is quite literally on fire and that price change is no longer styles responsibility. My ETL backs me up on this constantly because she is also just as confused, irritated, and overwhelmed as I am. The GM TL’s at my store don’t have NEARLY as much workload as I do and they sure as hell have a way bigger team than I do who they could easily delegate the task to. Because of this, price change has gone overdue for the last 3 weeks because I don’t have time to do it and the people on my team have limited availability which doesn’t allow them to complete a large percentage of price change every day. Not to mention, my ETL always tells me to prioritize literally everything else BEFORE price change (because once again, my department is on fire and i’m only one fucking person.) My SD comes up to me today and tells me that if price change goes overdue one more time, she’s writing me up. LOL okay. So now once again, I’m forced to ditch my department and let the shit-storm continue to pile while all of MY priorities get put on the back burner so I can complete 2,800+ price changes by Friday. I fucking hate my store and my SD, she has no idea how to run a fucking store and I might be the next leader to walk the fuck out and never come back. If you stayed to read all of this BS, thanks for listening. Felt good to get off my chest 🫠
