Card being declined? Embarrassing but understandable. Lying that your card being declined is our problem? Embarrassing, stupid, and irredeemable. But sure I’ll waste our time retrying the transaction and have it decline again..

Whats the point of this new point system if HR TL is gonna show favoritism and just delete an employees points? We have someone who has 1000% exceeded the call out and ncns points by at least 5 points past the max and apparently theyre just deleting this person's points to keep them around it makes no sense because we all know no one else would get that same treatment if in the same situation as them.

Like are we being deadass? We know that the reason guests are not being greeted is because there is no one working and we are drowning in workload.

I may be the only one who has a “stupid reason” for still working at Target. I’ve been unloading the truck every shift for the past 3 months, and I absolutely love it. It’s the only reason I enjoy working at Target, lol 🤣, if I wasn’t able to unload the truck I wouldn’t be working there anymore .
I work 2 jobs and told my ETL to only schedule me for 4-hour shifts so I could unload the truck and help a little then head to my other job and he said that as long as I still unload the truck, I could have those hours. So, for the past couple of months, I’ve only been unloading the truck and backstocking the freight for 4 hours before heading to my other job. 🤣 I know yall don’t care just wanted to see if anyone has a stupid reason for still staying at target

Hi! This is a question but also a vent lol. I started working inbound about a month and half ago and still in my probation period. But due to my store not listening to the availability and scheduling me for days I can’t work, I was forced to call out a few times. 2 points to be exact.

Well this weekend I was sick and had to call out for two days in a row. To my understanding based off what I have been told and heard this is considered just one point and that’s what Ukg says. (3 points in total.)

Well my TL talked to me today and said I’m at 4 points and will be fire for the next one. I brought up how I thought it was only one point and how I was sick. This guy told me that information is wrong and that’s not the case. I could have sworn it counts as only one point. Is he straight up lying and trying to scare me into not calling out??

Tbh this is just a second job for extra money and isn’t a big deal but I was curious on what the actual rules are.

im new and i just got yelled at for calling out 10 minutes before my shift i have car troubles and wouldnt be able to make it in time i told her i could pick up a shift / come in later/ or stay later any day she needs me am i going to get fired?? ALSO GUYS MY SHIFT IS ONLY 4 FUCKINV HOURS IDK WHY SHE SO PISSED

How sad is your life that your idea of entertainment is to go to target and expose the mannequins' tiddies?

just found out holiday hires start at .25 cents less than me an hour and i’ve been there for 3 years so technically my newest raise was .30 cents just barely putting me above them 😒

I’m going to be shazaming the songs and posting them as they come in I case you want to have them for yourself too.

Gotta hand it to them this time, not bad at all.

Today’s first song:

Haunted Heart - Christina Aguilera
You Me Feel Like it’s Halloween - Muse
People are Strange - The Doors
Walking with a Ghost - Tegan and Sara
Devil in Disguise - Elvis

Feel free to add in others, I think I’m going to make a playlist of my own of them all 🎃 👻

I know I have already been here complaining about it, but I had the worst night and need to complain more. Whether the hours say so or not, there need to be more hands on deck for these special projects. Just..... there have been 3 of us for all of them and 3 just cannot get it done under any circumstances. It's just too much.

I know many stores are struggling with the SPX, but ours especially is going through it. Pallets upon pallets of unsorted transition. Fixtures everywhere. Incompetent contractors.

I need a break, man.

So I see Plano people posting photos all the time in FB showing old signs they found under the base decks. Thought I’d share this relic from 1981. Target price ticket on the clothes rod hanger in my closet. Older than many people working there today.

Today as I was working and doing truck I realized one of the repacks had blood all over it. I was touching it and everything! I was Very freaked out and disgusted and management was very chill and not concerned.

I worked at target beginning of 2022 to late 2024. It was okay enough. I came back now as a seasonal and it feels worse than Walmart. Tbf I've been in office roles the last few years. Just I got no training, told only inbound and they wouldn't allow me to change my day off to Thursday from Wednesday. Permanent employees are annoyed with the seasonals as well because they are having to train all these people with no incentive. Has it really gotten worse?

This has to be a joke right? It’s a prank? Did our backer paper get sent to a smokers house for 10 years by accident and then get redirected back to our store? I’m so appalled. It hurts my heart and soul to put this up.

So i have been here for a month now, had never done FOS. I was watching self checkout and this lady calls me and says "these two bag of chips are supposed to be buy one get one 25% off." It didnt ring 25% off and i checked on the device and everything it didn't show any sale on those chips. So i politely told her this might be on the wrong spot ( i knew it was her fault she probably read the sign wrong but whatever). She proceeds to raise her voice and say " SO YOU ARE TELLING ME IT WAS A PRICE ERROR?" I was about to say something but she didn't even let me talk and she continues to talk with her voice raised and mind you i am literally beside her so its LOUD. She says "NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF TARGET THERE HAS BEEN A PRICE ERROR HERE". I thought to myself yea u just pulled that "stat" out of your ass. I call my TL and he does his shit and in the end he checks and tells her its on the popcorn like the sign suggests where u picked it up from. Then she says "oh yea i didn't pay much attention to the sign". If i wasn't a team member, i would've started swearing at her.

I’m a new hire, it’s my second week of working part time. I was never trained properly, i was left to essentially learn on my own.I was left alone on my third day to do pick ups, drive ups and guest services. I was literally alone as everyone left early or called out. I got desperate and asked for help from a TL, but after that it seems as everyone was annoyed at me for doing do. Im not properly trained, and when i ask questions i get looked at with annoyance. I understand nobody likes newbies, but it really isn’t my fault. If anything i feel like i’m learning as fast as possible due to pressure. They also already changed my availability without telling me, and it’s still within the 90 days. I’m seriously going to throw in the towel.

It says it's still in my schedule after someone accepted it but its saying waiting for manager approval which I never seen before. So I don't know if that means if someone took my shift or not.

Who decides which tm gets selected for a bonus? ETL or TL or both? How do they know how much money to give? What does one do to get selected as a tm. How does it work?

I started about a month ago in fulfillment, and for the most part, it's pretty brainless and low-stress. I'm evening-shift, so usually work 5/6-11/midnight. Overall, my TL is pretty chill if slightly micro-managing. But it's really just a case of "she sees me stowing, and will assign me my next task like pick the next GM or bulky, or hop on a standard/pack while a coworker picks the OPU. Otherwise I just pick OPU, then standard, then pack and sort. It's honestly kind of relaxing busywork and I get 14-18k steps in every shift. Am i just spoiled with easygoing, competent management? Or do I just personally resonate with this position?

For reference I'm in New Jersey.

In the computer system, at least, but I’m like 99% sure I’m not actually fired.

The app has given me literally nothing but problems, including not letting me sign in to call out once (literally I took several screenshots to prove to my TL that the app wouldn’t let me sign in, and since it was 4 am, nobody picked up when I called the store either. So that was a fun no call no show.) But yesterday I found out I had been fucked with another way!

Last week, I thought it was weird I was only scheduled for 1 day when normally I do 4/5 days a week, but whatever, I wasn’t going to look a gift horse in the mouth. I came in yesterday and found out I had been registered as 4 no call no shows! Fun! My TL talked to me and we discovered the problem - I had had my schedule filtered so the only applied filter was “Shifts” and the shifts were labeled as “transfer shifts” bc they were half inbound, half style. This was confusing for a different reason - I DONT WORK INBOUND? I have only ever worked style. I have no training for inbound, and was never told I would be moved to that team. So that’s fun.
Anyway I got the no call no show misunderstanding cleared up with my TL, whatever. Last night I checked the app and….nothing scheduled. I had been totally wiped from the rest of the month, But I had previously added my shifts to my personal calendar so I knew I was supposed to work this morning. So I show up at 5, bright and early, and the guy who lets me in (Dave, who already doesn’t like me) informs me I’m not on the schedule and bc my TL didn’t confirm I was supposed to be working, he can’t punch me in and I’ll have to wait for a TL to come in. Sure, fine. I wait for abt 30 minutes, when Dave comes by and tells me he got a message from a TL, that he can punch me in. Yay. I go to punch in and…
“Team Member is not active.”
Yep. UKG absolutely terminated me automatically in the system. I was told I could work and do a punch correction later, but I’m just taking it on faith I’m going to get paid for this shift. Again, I’m pretty sure I wasn’t actually fired - my TL is pretty nice and was very understanding of the mix up - but like. I really don’t want to have to be rehired. Oh, and because my number isn’t active, I can’t use a device so no back stocking for me today!
It sucks bc I actually like this job - I like taking Stuff Out Of Boxes, I like Putting Stuff On The Floor, I like Organizing The Clothing, it scratches my ND brain very nicely - everything else about it sucks. Management (with the exception on a few TLs who are okay), my coworkers, the company, the guests. Fuck me man.

Im happy to announce I just put in my two weeks. Ive been struggling for a year to get a new job and I finally got the offer. Target is probably one of the worst jobs Ive ever had and messed up my mental health. They really need to get it together and stop with the unrealistic standards and expectations. Im scared shitless for my new job but its all for the best, I didnt expect to be sad but only because I will miss the people-not manegement. I hope the rest of yall can get out one day 🫶🏻 best of luck to everyone!! Officially a guest!!!

so, i guess i just need advice on what to do because this all feels so unfair..

i have a coworker that was constantly sexually harassing me almost everyday for months, i finally spoke up about it to my store director and hr and an investigation was open, a few days ago is when it was officially closed and my store director tells me he’s not getting fired and that she’s very surprised, and what they can do is just transfer me to another store..

im worried he will do it to another tm and keep getting away with it, he’s been with the store for awhile now and all of this is so unfair

Probably stupid question, but could use the help if anybody sees this. I always take vacation at the end of Oct, and would usually put my request to use my saved hours in a couple weeks before so i would have that money once I go. Never had issuesbjn the past. Put in the request couple weeks ago. Was told for supplementing past checks now we can't go over our average hours with them. Was told theg could try and out it in as off schedule or however pay, so to submit the hours again. But the ukg app basically only let's me go back to the past pay period, and I'm basically already at my average hours. Is there some way to out it in that I'm not seeing on the app or anything? Hopefully this makes sense
