I’ve worked at Target for almost 7 years. I’ve worked hard all that time and my reward is for my hours to be severely cut. Now they have the gall to tell me my productivity is down and that I need to shape up or my raise will be affected. My asshole TL said that other TLs and ETLs have noticed it. BULLSHIT. I can’t count how many times I’ve seen that stupid prick standing around talking about football or some other thing for up to 20 minutes at a time while I’m working my ass off. He usually does it about two or three times a day. I think I know the TLs who “noticed”; one usually wanders around after all his work is done so he can build his hours up to get overtime and the other has only been here about a two months and already seems to think he’s the best person in that store. I’m surprised my ETL can notice me not working since he has his face buried in his cellphone playing some stupid Marvel game all day. And when he’s not doing that, he’s usually talking to another ETL about it. Frankly, I think this is just an excuse to take my hours away and give them to those TLs. A few weeks ago on a Thursday they cut hours from half the people in the Backroom for the following week because those TLs weren’t getting enough hours. At my store if your not a TL or higher, your trash.

(1) This is my first post so I have a lot of steam to let off.
I have worked at Target for almost 7 years and it has gotten worse and worse every single year. This Vibe shit is just some petty attempt to make Target stand out from other retailers. They’re trying to force moments for “guests” (I didn’t invite them) which I think cheapens everything. The same goes for all these stupid team cards that they’ve all but made mandatory. I work logistics and another stupid idea they’ve implemented at my store is a later truck unload. This means the flow team is working out the entire truck when the store is open, and I mean the entire truck. Every piece goes to the floor. The so called idea is for flow team to double as sales floor. Of course when the execs do everything in their power to get the flow team out by 10:30 a.m. ( we open at 8) it kind of defeats the purpose. The pallets and flats the flow team works off of pretty much blocks half the aisles which blocks people from getting to any merchandise. This also has the added bonus of cutting sales floor people’s hours and fucks them over. Whoever came up with this idea has never worked at or shopped at a Target in his/her life. This cutting payroll because of sales thing is bullshit too. Less payroll means less people to put product out and/or help “guests” find products which means less sales. Its just a cycle of stupidity. The only thing my execs care about is making payroll so they can get their end of year bonus. The one thing that probably would increase sales at my store is a re-model to put in a pharmacy but they won’t do it because our sales are low. Half my job when I’m on the sales floor is to tell people we don’t have a pharmacy. Don’t know how much more of this I can take.
