    This has bothered me for years…

    I have been at Target for 2 1/2 years back in electronics. Something I don’t understand is – why can’t we use our employee discounts with debit/credit cards that aren’t redcards? I find it completely ridiculous! Not everyone wants a fucking REDCARD!! It drive sales blah blah blah makes Target look good blah blah blah. You know what would make Target look good? Fire.

  • I was working in my usual work center – electronics – when my coworker asks me to help him print a rain check for a guest – it’s for a phone. As I am typing in the code and the DPCI I overhear him talking to the guest about how she works at a different Target and how she was cashier and blah blah blah. So the rain check said “quantities are limited, no rain check available” or whatever the damn things says. I tell the guest this and she says “well they told us we could get a rain check”. No idea who “they” is, but you are dumb. I can’t override my register! Anyway, my coworker suggests going to the front and seeing if their registers would print it off. They cheerfully go on their way.

    let us end hunger…

    So the commercials blasting in electronics all the time claim that Target and some band want to end hunger or some bs publicity stunt. I have got a suggestion, how about you fucking pay your employees a little better? You know the people who work their asses off day after day? Such fake ass liars these uppity fucks are, oh and I find it funny how they preach diversity all the time on the tvs yet you are only included in what they consider diverse if you are white or mexican. I just don’t understand how all these moron shoppers stick to targets shit like flies and it don’t stink.

    So glad to be out of Tarshit

    I was working at target for the summer and I should’ve listen to what others said in this site. I came on here thinking target can’t be that bad and behold it was horrible. The training was really bad by the third day I was by myself…CLOSING. The LODs kept giving me bullshit for not being “fast” enough. Zoning was the fucking worst all by myself while every other department has at least 2-3 people closing.

  • I mean not all of them are mean, a lot are actually very friendly. Im a 17 year old girl and this is my first job ever.The other girls that work with me are pretty nice..but some of the guys are rude and act like they are way smarter than I am. I just started but I am done with my training’s, and one of the guys who doesn’t even train people came over and watched me check a guest out, it was disturbing and overwhelming. Then I had trouble getting a security lock off and i asked him to help, and he opened it right in front of a guest and made fun of me and i just wanted to hide after that.

  • So a few of my co-workers needed to change their availability for school and now they are declining availability changes???

    Also, they are declining time off also?

    Why the hell are they doing this?

    If they’re not going to change availability, everyone is gonna quit!!

    Is your store doing this too?

    T1305 IS HELL ON EARTH

    I’VE BEEN WORKING FOR THIS STORE THE PAST 6YEARS AND IT’S LITERALLY IT’S LIKE HELL FROM STUPID DUMB ASS LEADERS DOWN TO KISS UP TEAM MEMBERS. IF YOU TRY TO REASON OUT ABOUT YOUR WORK LOAD AND HOURS THEY WILL TAG YOU AS A TROUBLE MAKER AND CALLING INTEGRITY HOTLINE DOESN’T HELP EITHER. THEY WILL FORWARD THE CONCERNS TO HR AND PARTNER WITH THE STL AND JUST SEND BACK A RESOLUTIONS AND VOILA THEY OFF THE HOOK.

    I’VE BEEN ASKING FOR TRANSFER FOR A LONG TIME AND ALWAYS BEEN DENIED!!!!!! WHERE CAN YOU FIND A TL THAT WORKS 16 to 20 HRS A WEEK lol AND THEY EXPECT SO MUCH FROM YOU.

    I GUESS HANGING OUT AT STARBUCKS CAFE AND SHARING BS WITH ALL THE ETL’S REALLY HELPS OUT A LOT TO KEEP YOU OUT OF TROUBLE.

    UNFORTUNATELY IT’S AGAINST MY RELIGION TO LIE AND BS PEOPLE AROUND PLUS SOMEONE ACTUALLY NEED TO WORK ON THE SALES FLOOR.

     

    TO ANY ACTIVE TM’S WHO WANT TO KNOW HOW IT FEELS LIKE TO BE IN HELL PAY T1305 A VISIT. SATAN AND HIS MISTRESS ARE WAITING WITH A HUGE SMILE JUST MAKE SURE TO SAY HI TO ALL THE LITTLE MINIONS ATTACHED TO THEIR HIPS LOL

  • So I have now worked at two targets (transferred from the last store I was at because I finished university and the job market where I live is generally shitty, and seeing as a new target was just opening up, it seemed to be a good idea/fresh start).  Anyways, I fucking hate target. My last store before I was transferred gave me 4 hour Shifts a week and played favourites with some pretty incompetent employees. The new store I’m at has been okay with hours, for now (though they keep fucking with my schedule, more on that later) and like my last store The TLs, ETLS and even STLs have no idea what the fuck they are doing, one ETL at my new store even compared not wearing a name tag on the sales floor to “going into Afghanistan without a gun” I wish I was fucking joking.(he said this at morning huddle)

    am i rehireable?

    I was a bench TL at my store “waiting for another TL to quit or get fired” to fill in. I interviewed around september 2013 and around January of 2014 my HR ETL and my Hardlines ETL pulled me in the office. They said due to the data breach, I won’t be able to get promoted for a while. All stores in the district need to cut leaders. By september of next year my store needs to cut 3 TLs and one ETL. Once they leave if other stores aren’t at where they need to be, they would just get transferred in. Pretty much there is no hope for me to move up. So I took initiative and applied at another place as part-time.

    At my interview at my other job, I impressed my boss very well that they offered me a full-time supervisor position, so I took it because it was more money. At Target I went on LOA, to see if i liked the new job.

    Hey guys I work as a cashier for about a year now and honestly hate the job. There are days I simply do not want to go because well, who the hell wants to go work with annoying ass costumers? Im only working here till I’m done with community college and thats less than a year away. Anyways I want to know how many times can you call out before you get fired?… I hear you have to have many coachings till you get fired. So can someone help me with this?
